The notebook read:
"September 1, 1976, Sunny.
Today is the first day of the new school year, and also the day I welcome new students.
Not far from home, I heard a baby crying. I followed the sound and saw a new basket by the side of the road with a little baby in it.
The child is still very small, looks like he's just a month old.
The baby is crying, his little face is red, and it breaks my heart to see. I looked around but couldn't find the child's parents. However, I found a note in the basket. The note recorded the baby's birthday, he was born on the fifth of July, 1976.
In addition to the baby's birth date, the note also left a message.
'I had a child out of wedlock, the father of the child is unknown, and as a result, I have become a woman despised by those around me.
My family is ashamed because I had a child before marriage, and my father has more than once asked me to leave home with the child. I want to leave and find the child's father, but the child's father is like he has never appeared in this world, he disappeared without a trace.
I can't find the child's father. I can't afford to raise my child. I can't bear the accusations of those around me. I can't accept them calling me a whore. I can't accept them saying my child is a shameful bastard. I can't accept all of this.
Cornelia remembered that Robison was born in 1973, while her father Hawthorne was born in 1976, specifically on the fifth of July.
If this diary was real, then her father was the child Granny Rebecca adopted! Robison should be Granny Rebecca's biological son. But why in Cornelia's memory, Robison was the child Granny Rebecca adopted?
Cornelia was confused, so she continued to read the diary, which also recorded a lot of information about the adopted child.
“September 10, still sunny, cloudless.
