She swiped her phone open, clicked on a page with a map, found the location of Capital City and City Y, and drew a circle according to the orientation just mentioned.
"Also, the earlier divination mentioned a woman getting married. Since it’s related to a woman getting married, City Y and the place you’re searching for won’t be completely unrelated."
"So I speculate that your mother should be from City Y. She married and moved away from City Y."
Tri-Billion Sister perked up and hurriedly said, "Then there should still be some maternal relatives of Blake Leaf in our hometown!"
Lawrence Winters nodded slowly, "That’s what it looks like from the divination."
"But all these years, none of them have come to visit me." Blake Leaf’s emotions shifted from uneasy to hopeful, and now plummeted into the abyss of despair.
If his parents were truly deceased, what would be the significance of finding those relatives?
At that moment, it felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over Blake Leaf, leaving him nearly unable to stand.
There was a kind of calm and melancholy on his face, like "the greatest sorrow comes when the heart is dead."
Lawrence Winters glanced at him, fully understanding his feelings.
She smiled and said again, "I mentioned earlier that there’s only a ditch between you, not a river. This indicates that the estrangement is man-made. As long as you can find your relatives in City Y, your origin should become clear."
"And what good will it do to know? Anyway, my biological parents have already passed away." Blake Leaf wouldn’t tell them that what he really hoped for was to find his biological parents and leave the suffocating family that raised him, the family he couldn’t bear.
He could care for his adoptive parents in their old age, but he didn’t want to be their biological son.
Kenneth Osborne then said in a calm voice, "Nora was just speaking idly, and you’ve already taken her words as truth so quickly?"
Lawrence Winters pursed her lips but did not argue back.
She indeed spoke according to the divination. As for the real circumstances, probably not even her uncle here would dare guarantee it.
Tri-Billion Sister looked at Lawrence Winters and then at Blake Leaf. After a while, she put her hands together, "What’s gotten into you? Blake Leaf, earlier you had no clues at all and didn’t give up for three years."
"Now, with difficulty, we’ve come across a new clue. Whether Lawrence’s words are accurate or not, it’s at least a direction, and you’re already thinking of giving up?"
Blake Leaf lowered his head, not daring to meet her bright and beautiful eyes, muddled in his mind, as if possessed, tremblingly saying, "If what she says isn’t true, then what can I do? I would still not find my parents or relatives."
"If what she says is true, then it’s even more painful. —This battle is lost before I’ve even fought it!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
At this, Lawrence Winters forcefully slapped the table, loudly speaking into Blake Leaf’s ear, "I’ve mentioned before, divination and word interpretation are matter-of-fact on the matter! If you haven’t taken this step, then your fortune turning a new leaf is out of the question!"
"You’ve come this far; if you give up now, you’ll forever wait in vain for a day when your fortune turns!"
"Ultimately, what you’re searching for isn’t your background, but the drive to move upward!"
Lawrence Winters’ words were like a deafening wake-up call.
Blake Leaf trembled slightly, his confused mind gradually clearing up.
He pondered over what Lawrence Winters had just said, finding it more and more reasonable the more he thought about it.
He couldn’t help but ask again, "Then what should I do to find my biological mother’s relatives in my current hometown?"
Before finishing, he quickly added, "I’ll transfer more money to you!"
Lawrence Winters laughed and stopped him, "No need, I haven’t finished speaking yet."
She winked at Tri-Billion Sister, continuing, "I mentioned before, your mother should be from City Y, but she later moved to an Eastern Coastal City, and that’s where she got married. The word ’gradual’ also implies migration. So if someone could help you check the household registration migration records from City Y over twenty years ago, you might have a pleasant surprise."
Upon hearing this, even Kenneth Osborne looked at her in surprise.
He knew that Lawrence Winters had been following her uncle Nick Zeller to help others with feng shui, but he never imagined she had reached such a level of expertise.
If her method worked and helped Blake Leaf find his long-lost relatives of over twenty years, that would be truly remarkable.
Blake Leaf was so excited he almost couldn’t speak clearly, "Okay, okay, okay... I’ll immediately find someone to check the migration records!"
With that, he looked towards Tri-Billion Sister for help.
