Upon hearing this, Frank''s lips curved into a faint smile. His brown eyes fixed on me, and he said softly. yet each word was clear, with a slight rise at the end, "Yes, you are Lily, my fiancee." It was a confirmation, a deration


    "Frank..."


    My thoughts wereplex, but a sense of relief arose. Thank you for never, ever giving up on me."


    He was always there when I needed him, finding ways to help even when someone else took my ce. Everyone else had abandoned me, but he hadn''t.


    He took me to a private restaurant near the Shaw family''s residence.


    The waiter led us to a private room.


    I realized that the people dining were not just Frank and me.


    There was also Flint.


    When he saw us enter, Flint suddenly stood up, looking straight at me. The man, nearly 60, was crying.


    I saw that he was holding the paternity test report from the foreign hospital.


    Flint must have read it.


    "Miss Lily!"


    Hearing this address, I was startled. It wasn''t due to unfamiliarity but familiarity.


    I


    It felt as if I had been called this way countless times before.


    The emotions I had been holding back all morning suddenly broke apart, and tears fell from my eyes. Flint..."


    "It''s me!" Flint choked up and wiped his tears roughly. "It''s good that you grew up safely, you''re all grown up now, I''m so happy!"


    *Flint, please sit down. She''s still hungry," said Frank, pulling me to a seat.


    Soon, we ordered food.


    After the waiter left, Flintposed himself and got to the point. He handed two sealed bags of powder to Frank. "We did find something, but it wasn''t found in Bethany''s room, It was found in Mrs. Shaw''s..." Upon hearing this, I asked, "Is this... polson?"


    "It should be." Flint nodded, anger in his voice. "It''s a good thing you went to the hospital when you did. Frank stopped me and urged me to search the house thoroughly. If I had gone to the hospital, this stuff would have been destroyed."


    Frank took the items. "Did you catch the person responsible?"


    "Yes, I caught them and they are now held at the address you gave me."


    "Good."


    "Should I continue to guard them?"


    "No need, you should return to the Shaw family''s residence."


    Frank served me some cold dishes. "Eat while you listen."


    Then he continued, "Grandma is still unconscious. I can''t interfere with the Shaw family''s affairs with my current identity. As for Lily... you''ve probably guessed. She can''t return to the Shaw family for now and will have to wait until Grandma wakes up."


    "But the surveince must have caught what I was doing at the Shaw family today..."


    "Don''t worry, I''ve already had the surveince footage deleted."


    "Is there anything else you need me to do?"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "If there''s nothing else, keep in touch with the fake Lily still staying at the Shaw family. It would be best if you could find out whether anyone besides Bethany and Mrs. Shaw is involved." Frank gave his instructions methodically.


    was a bit surprised.


    From the time Grandma copsed until now, not much time had passed.


    Yet Frank had arranged everything before Bethany and the others could react.


    As we ate, I looked at Flint and couldn''t help but ask, "Flint, am I really Mrs. Shaw''s biological child?"


    When I was at the Frost family''s, I learned how chaotic the wealthy families could be,


    The Smith and Shaw families were likely no better.


    I wanted to deny such a fact. When I first thought of this question, I hoped most for the answer to be no. Unfortunately, the result didn''t grant me my wish.


    Flint sighed. "When you were born, Madam Shaw stayed outside the delivery room. There shouldn''t have been a mistake. Mrs. Shaw might have invested too much emotion in Bethany over the years, which is why things have turned out this way..."
