<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Uponying eyes on the person at the door, Pa waspletely taken aback.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“N–Nathaniel Rainsworth?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The person at the door was the spitting image of Nathaniel, yet the expression in his eyes was somewhat gentler.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Following him was Magnus, who peeked out from behind him. “This isn’t Nathaniel, Mom. It’s his brother.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In other words, this man was Nichs.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The two individuals truly bore such a striking resemnce to each other that it was no wonder even Cecilia got their identities mixed up in the past.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa seated herself immediately. “I’m sorry for not recognizing you, Mr. Rainsworth.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">From the moment the caregiver noticed this distinguished man standing at the door, she knew there was something extraordinary about him. She couldn’t help but wonder what his rtionship with Pa was.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Kichs gave off the impression of a modest gentleman so untouchable that the caregiver dared not look him in the eye.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The man walked in, followed by Magnus. Although thetter was handsome too, hecked Nichs‘ refine and looked like a rich, spoiled brat at first nce.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Get out.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Magnus issued a sternmand to the caregiver.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Hearing this, thetter reluctantly left the room.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Then, Magnus closed the door with a resounding thud.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The room was filled with the scent of disinfectant, a smell he found rather repugnant. However, he had no choice but to visit, considering it was Nichs who had requested it.</font></font>This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He didn’t understand why. The man had simply asked him toe and see Pa after overhearing his phone conversation with Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Have a seat, Mr. Rainsworth,” Pa immediately offered.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs pulled out a chair and sat down. “How are you feeling now?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa didn’t expect him to ask such a question.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In her current state, how much better could she get? She was merely waiting for death,</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs understood that as well, and he spoke again. “I’ve already paid for all the subsequent treatment costs you’ll need. I’ll also take care of the caregiver’s fees.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Is it because of Cassandra?” she asked tentatively.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She still clung onto a sliver of hope for Cassandra, given she had painstakingly carried her for nine months and given birth to her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cassandra never told me about you. It was only when I overheard Magnus speaking to Cecilia over the phone that I learned what you’re going through.” Nichs paused before resuming, “I’m Cassandra’s fiancé and, in a way, your future son–inw. I should bear your medical expenses.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Pa’s mind was solely fixed on his initial statement.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cassandra had never once mentioned anything about her to Nichs!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Such chilling words they were.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank you,” Pa responded slowly, her throat filled with bitterness.</font></font>
Nichs noticed her disheartened expression and turned to Magnus. “We were in such a rush that we forgot to bring a gift. Go buy some fruits.”
“Huh? I’ll get someone to buy them-” Thetter didn’t want to go.
Nichs cut him off directly. “Buy them yourself.”
Seeing him be serious, Magnus reluctantly rose to his feet and headed out.
Once he left, only then did Nichs reveal the real reason for his visit. “I know Cecilia isn’t your biological daughter. Can you tell me what really happened?”
Pa was shocked.
She didn’t want to speak, fearing it would implicate Cecilia, so she shook her head.
“You must be mistaken, Mr. Rainsworth. How could Cecilia possibly not be my biological daughter?”
Nichs ced the DNA test results directly in front of her. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to hurt her.” Everyone else in the world might hurt Cecilia, but he would never.
Recognizing his feelings for Cecilia and aware that hiding the truth any longer was futile, Pa eventually revealed everything.
