After 16 years of silence, Thelma returned to the orphanage where she was raised, hoping to make peace with the mother she had cut ties with after a bitter argument. Back then, Thelma had chosen to pursue a career in art against her mother Erin’s wishes, leading to a painful split.
Now a successful businesswoman in her 30s, Thelma had matured — and deeply regretted not reaching out sooner. But when she finally stepped into the orphanage again, it wasn’t her mother who greeted her. Instead, she saw a little girl… who looked exactly like her.
Shocked, Thelma asked Sister Julie about the child. That’s when the truth came out: the girl, named Cindy, was Thelma’s younger sister. After Thelma left, Erin had remarried and given birth to Cindy — only to be abandoned again. Erin later died in a tragic plane crash, and Cindy had been taken in by the same orphanage.
