The siblings’ parents both died due to car accidents.
The mom met an accident first, and while on the way to the hospital to see his wife, their dad lost control of his car.
Both parents suffered traumatic injuries and died minutes apart. At the time, Anna fell sick and couldn’t attend the funeral.When the siblings’ parents died, Aunt Lucy and an uncle named John both needed money.
They volunteered to care for the children and managed to split the assets into two. The woman went with Uncle John, while Anna stayed with Aunt Lucy.
Uncle John took the woman to an adoption home and left the country with his wife.
Aunt Lucy knew the woman was sent to an adoption home, but she kept quiet. When Uncle John and his wife returned for the woman, they learned she’d already been adopted.
Over the years, the story they went along with was that the woman had died – which is what Aunt Lucy and Anna knew. Despite her sad circumstances, the woman felt fortunate that the family who chose to adopt her raised her like their own.
Her adoptive parents loved her dearly.
Through it all, Anna couldn’t believe Aunt Lucy hid information from her. She felt betrayed and thought she was denied a sibling’s love for personal gain.
