A black SUV had stopped across the street.
Two men stepped out.
One of them made a phone call while staring directly at our window.
Robert suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Mary, we need to leave immediately.”
“Why? Who are those men?”
“Please, just trust me.”
He hurried me toward the restaurant’s back exit.
But the manager stopped us near the door.
“Mr. Robert, they’ve already come inside.”
I stepped back in terror.
“What’s going on? Do you all know each other?”
Robert turned toward me. His eyes were filled with tears.
“Mary, meeting you wasn’t an accident.”
A chill ran down my spine.
“What do you mean?”
He struggled to speak.
“I’ve been searching for you for more than forty years.”
At that exact moment, the restaurant door opened.
One of the men from the black SUV walked inside.
The moment he saw me, he stopped and turned toward Robert.
“Dad… Is this the woman?”
Robert nodded.
The man approached me and said in a trembling voice,
“Mrs. Mary, if you really are the person we’ve been searching for, then our family owes you a truth you’ve had no idea about for forty years…”

I stood near the restaurant’s back door, frozen with fear.
“Someone explain what’s happening! What do you want from me?”
“My name is Daniel,” the man replied. “Robert is my father.”
