England . Aria - no , she should now be called Phoenix - stood in front of a grand castle - like estate , feeling a little dazed . She never imagined that a trip abroad would lead her to discover her biological parents . On the plane , a well - dressed woman seated next to her had glanced at her several times . Out of politeness , Phoenix greeted her , and the two struck up a conversation . The woman introduced herself as a migrant wolf clan member settled in England . She explained that she had returned to New York on this trip to search for her missing daughter . She and her husband had been living overseas , running a business . By coincidence , their youngest daughter had been born on a full moon night . They decided to stay an extra month at home and planned to leave after celebrating her first month milestone . But the day before their departure , their daughter vanished . They immediately contacted the police and rallied friends to help search for her . After a month of relentless searching with no leads , the police concluded that she had likely been kidnapped and that the chances of finding her were slim . With their visas about to expire , they had no choice but to leave the country . Yet , they never gave up . They entrusted friends in New York to continue the search and made an annual trip back to the city where she disappeared , staying there for a month each time . This year marked the 26th year of their search . Despite friends and family urging them to move on , they clung to a shred of hope . Once again , they returned disappointed . But when the woman saw Phoenix , she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity , which was why she kept looking at her . Phoenix , too , felt a natural warmth from the woman , so much so that she shared her own story . When the woman learned that Phoenix was an orphan and that she had grown up in the same city where her daughter had gone missing , her emotions visibly surged . She clasped Phoenix's hands and asked if she would agree to a DNA test after they landed . Seeing the woman and her husband's earnest , hopeful expressions , Phoenix couldn't help but nod . As soon as the plane landed , the couple had their chauffeur take them to the nearest DNA testing center . After an anxious wait , the results came out . Phoenix was indeed their long - lost daughter . When they saw the test results , the couple broke down , holding Phoenix as they sobbed uncontrollably . For the first time , Phoenix realized she wasn't an unwanted child . Her parents had loved her deeply and had been searching for her for 26 years . After consulting with her , they decided to keep the name " Phoenix " but added their family name . From that moment on , she became Phoenix Ambrose . Chapter 181 +305 Coine Ever since learning that Phoenix was her daughter , her mother had been holding her hand tightly , gazing at her with infinite affection . Even her usually stoic father couldn't hold back his emotions , his eyes reddening as he stared at her face . When they arrived at the Ambrose family estate , Phoenix's mother led her to a bedroom door , her eyes sparkling with pride . " Phoenix , your father and I have been waiting for you to come home . This room has been yours for 26 years . Now that you're finally back , it belongs to its rightful owner . " Her mother's voice choked with emotion . Phoenix's father gently patted her shoulder , signaling her to open the door . " Go on . Take a look . See if you like the room we prepared for you ." Phoenix felt a wave of warmth in her heart , a familial love she had never known . She pushed open the door . The first thing she saw was a large , vintage European - style bed . Beside it was a window that overlooked the back garden , offering a view of the lush scenery outside . The room was carpeted wall - to - wall . At its center sat a pile of boxes . Curiosity sparked in Phoenix's eyes . " What's in these boxes ? " she asked . Her father stepped forward , picked up one of the boxes , and handed it to her . " Open it and see for yourself , " he said . She carefully unwrapped the box and found a diamond bracelet inside . A sudden thought struck her , and without hesitation , she opened the remaining boxes . Inside were a gold bangle , a princess dress , a tiara , and a necklace ... There were exactly 26 items - no more , no less . Tears welled up in Phoenix's eyes . These were her birthday gifts . Even though she hadn't been with them , her parents had prepared a gift for her every year , waiting for the day she would return to open them . The bullying she endured at the orphanage had once convinced her that no one in the world would ever love her . That was why , when Kane had burst into her life like a blazing ray of sunshine , she couldn't help but fall hopelessly for him . But now , she finally realized that in a place she never knew , her parents had loved her more than she could have imagined . Phoenix threw her arms around her parents . Chapter 19
