A Pair of NotesThis story is about a young woman who lives in California with her mother and father. However, she is Chinese and refuses to believe it. This story is both a mystery and a thriller with somewhat of a tragically happy ending. At the end of this article I will show how I arrive at this conclusion.

She had to do this because she was getting sick and feared not only for her own life but also for that of her daughters. She hoped that someone would come to them alone and welcome them. That was all his mother had ever told him about his two older sisters. For years, her mother had been trying to find her lost daughters, but without success. Even offering a reward was of no use. His dearest dream was to reunite with the girls, return to China and join both families and make them one happy and loving person. Unfortunately, due to a sudden brain aneurysm, her mother died before she could realize her dream. Three months after his mother died, his father received a letter in the mail. It was addressed to his mother and came from China. The girls had finally found their mother and wanted to meet her.

The letter was given to his aunt and he asked her to respond to the girls and, if possible, tell them that their mother had died but she never gave up
