Chapter 5: The Secret Behind Adah’s Bracelet
One morning, Emmett noticed something strange.
Adah wore an old silver bracelet.
It was too valuable for a child from an orphan train.
“Where did you get that?”
The little girl touched it carefully.
“My mama gave it to me.”
Emmett froze.
“You remember your mother?”
Adah nodded.
“She told me someone would find me.”
Those words stayed with him.
Because maybe...
Just maybe...
Someone had been searching for her.
That night, Emmett examined the bracelet under the lamp.
Inside was a tiny engraving.
A name.
May you like
Evelyn Rose.
The next morning, Emmett decided he needed answers.
