"My child, you've suffered so much," Elara said.
"Mommy has missed you so much, my Claire."
Noah and Elara embraced their daughter as tears streamed down their faces. Celeste Grant found half her body enveloped in her mother's arms and the other half in her father's.
Their presence radiated a gentle and reassuring warmth as her biological parents softly stroked her hair. It truly lived up to the saying: no matter how old you get, you'll always be a child in your parents' eyes. At this moment, to Noah and Elara, she was exactly that—their little girl. Having a child of her own, Celeste clearly understood the feelings parents had for their children. She could deeply feel how much her biological parents loved her right now.
Leaning against them, she opened her mouth and softly called out, "Dad. Mom."
