As Maria held Eva close, her sobs subsided, and she gently kissed her daughter’s forehead. She looked up at Natalie and Adam, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you,” she said, her voice breaking. “Thank you for bringing my daughter back to me. I never stopped hoping, never stopped praying that I would see her again.”
Natalie stepped forward, embracing Maria tightly. “We’re just so happy to have found you,” she replied, her voice shaking. “Eva has talked about you and her siblings so much. We knew we had to find the truth.”
