Elora's heart fluttered with nervous anticipation as she sat down, her eyes fixed on Mary, waiting for her to continue.
Mary took a deep breath, steeling herself to deliver the news. "Lora, I have both good news and bad news," she began, her voice gentle but solemn.
Elora's eyes widened with anticipation, her heart racing as she waited for Mary to continue.
"The good news is that my nephew, Tim, succeeded in obtaining your birth certificate and study diplomas," Mary said, her voice tinged with a hint of relief.
A flood of emotions washed over Elora as tears welled up in her eyes. "Really? Thank you, Mary," she whispered, overcome with gratitude and happiness.
However, Mary's next words shattered the newfound joy. "But there's also bad news," she continued, her tone heavy with regret.
