Abigail Zimmerman briefly recounted Titus Zane's visit to her, while Samuel Zane, leaning on his cane, looked ahead with a somewhat misty gaze.
"You're saying... she looks exactly like Nathan did?"
"Yes, it was also because of the resemblance that I dared to confirm she is Nathan's daughter."
"Alas," Samuel Zane sighed heavily, "it's been almost thirty years since Nathan left us. That girl must be in her thirties now."
"Yes, Titus is thirty-one this year."
"What did you say? Her name is Titus? Which Zane is that?" Samuel Zane turned and looked back, his tiger-like eyes shining brightly.
"It's our Zane family name; her full name is Titus Zane."
Abigail knew the meaning behind the name Titus Zane. At that time, the old patriarch forbade family members to associate with Nathan, but she would occasionally steal away to visit her.
Unfortunately...
All due to Nathan's naïveté; Julian Zane returned not even one-tenth of what she had given.
