My Boyfriend Vanished When I Told Him I Was Pregnant—Then Grandpa Saw My Baby’s Face and Revealed a 20-Year Secret
Grandpa looked almost relieved.
Then Nora yawned.
Her head turned.
And Grandpa saw the small indentation behind her left ear.
His face went white.
“Take her.”
“What?”
“Emily, take the baby.”
I immediately pulled Nora against my chest.
“What is wrong?”
Grandpa stumbled backward and sat heavily in his rocking chair.
For several seconds, he simply stared.
Then he whispered:
“I’ve seen that mark before.”
A chill ran through me.
“On who?”
Grandpa raised his eyes.
“Your mother.”
I laughed nervously.
“Mom?”
“And you.”
My smile disappeared.
“What?”
“You had it when you were born.”
I instinctively touched behind my own ear.
