Chapter 218 After Eight Years, She had Become like Cecily
The woman looked at Owen for a few seconds, then knelt down in front of him, shocking him.
"Grandfather," she said.
"You?" Owen couldn't believe it.
"Cecily, what's going on? No, this can't be..."
Owen stood up, forgetting his cane, and walked over to her, his brow furrowed, carefully examining the face that looked exactly like Cecily's.
The face, the voice, everything was the same, but Cecily would never call him "grandfather" or kneel before him.
"You're not Cecily. Who are you?"
The woman looked up at Owen, revealing a faint scar on her arm.
"Grandfather, I'm Eliza."
Owen's eyes widened, and he stared at the familiar scar, his disbelief growing.
After a long while, he finally found his voice. "You... you're really Eliza?"
Eliza Fitzgerald nodded tears in her eyes. "Yes, Grandfather, I'm Eliza."
"You? But how? I..."
Owen stared at her, at a loss for words. After a while, he asked, "You didn't die back then?"
Eliza Fitzgerald, originally named Eliza White, was adopted by Patrick Fitzgerald and took the surname Fitzgerald after entering the Fitzgerald family. But in that seemingly accidental incident, not only did it take Patrick Fitzgerald's life, but Eliza also disappeared.
Everyone thought she was dead.
Unexpectedly, she was still alive.
But now, looking at this face, Owen would never have believed it if Eliza hadn't said it herself.
"Yes, Grandfather, I survived," Eliza said, her eyes shimmering with tears. "I'm sorry, Grandfather, for meeting you in this way after thirteen years."
Owen quickly reached out to help her up. "Don't apologize, I'm happy that you're alive, it's just..."
Owen looked at Eliza's face, still in a daze.
She looked so much like Cecily with every move and expression.
Eliza gently touched her face, a faint smile on her lips. "Grandfather, do you want to know why I look exactly like Cecily?"
"For eight years, before I turned twenty-three, I underwent plastic surgery and learned every move and expression of Cecily. Do I resemble her, Grandfather?"
Owen nodded. "You do! No, you're exactly the same!"
No one would doubt it if she went out and said she was Cecily.
Eliza smiled. "That's good, then my efforts weren't in vain."
"Why did you do this? If you didn't die back then, why didn't you come back?"
It had been thirteen years since Patrick's death. Eliza was only fifteen at the time, and she spent eight years transforming herself into Cecily's appearance.
Owen was momentarily puzzled.
Eliza helped Owen to a chair. "Grandfather, it's a long story, and I will tell you slowly when we have time. You just need to know that everything I've done is to avenge my father. My father was the best person I've ever known, but he was killed, and this enmity must be avenged."
"I have found that woman, and I want her to suffer. I want her to watch her daughter die before her own eyes. I want her to taste the pain of losing loved ones."
Eliza's eyes flashed with a fierce look.
"You've found her?"
"Yes, but we can't move against her openly now. But don't worry, Grandfather, my thirteen years haven't been in vain. I already have a plan. I came back this time to see you, but I have other things to attend to, so I can't stay long. I also hope that you won't tell anyone that you've seen me."
Owen looked at Eliza, filled with relief. "It's hard for you to do so much for Patrick."
Eliza shook her head gently. "No, Grandfather, my life was saved by my father. Everything I've done is worth it."
Owen nodded in satisfaction. "Good, Eliza. It was the right decision for Patrick to adopt you. Go ahead, and if you need my help, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'll reach out if I need anything," Eliza replied.
She put on her hat and said, "I'm off now, Grandpa."
"Take care," Owen said.
"I will," Eliza assured him.
As she left the study, Eliza lowered her hat and quickly made her way downstairs to the back door. A servant carrying something accidentally bumped into her. Upon seeing Eliza's face, the servant apologized and then exclaimed, "Miss Cecily?"
