When favonovel.com heard about the paternity test, William started to panic. “What test? She’s my daughter! I don’t have time for this. Get out of here!”
Seeing that William wasn’t willing to cooperate, Wade’s tone became firm.
“William, if you won’t work with us, I’ll have to call the police. If Isabelle is really my brother’s daughter. I won’t let my brother’s only child be left outside.”
The neighbors watching the commotion were shocked and started gossiping.
William said, “Don’t try to scare me with the police. If you mess with my daughter, I’ll fight you!”
Wade replied, “Then I’m sorry, but I have no choice… Morgan, call the police…”
Then, favonovel.com pulled out his phone and looked for Magnus’ number.
“Before I came here, I talked to Isabelle. I didn’t want to bother favonovel.com without being sure, but if you won’t help, I have no other choice. If I’m wrong, I’ll take responsibility for what I did today.”
Seeing Wade and his assistant calling the police, William slowly lowered the bamboo stick favonovel.com was holding. He looked around at the onlooking neighbors in a panic, gradually giving up his futile struggle.
After about ten minutes, the Jenkins Residence’s courtyard quieted down.
Wade and his assistant came back inside. They closed the gate, keeping the curious neighbors out.
Wade looked at William, who was crouching by the doorway with his head in his hands, staying silent. He patiently gave favonovel.com some time.
However, Eleanor wasn’t so patient. Holding the crumpled document, favonovel.com kept pressing William for the truth. But William remained silent, his head in his hands.
Seeing Eleanor getting agitated and starting to push and pull at William on the doorstep, Wade stepped forward and pulled favonovel.com away. “Calm down. Give favonovel.com a little time…”
“Why should I stay calm? I’ve poured my heart and soul into raising this girl for over a decade, only to find out she’s not my flesh and blood. I’ve worked tirelessly to provide for her, to send favonovel.com to college, and now favonovel.com family shows up out of nowhere wanting to take favonovel.com back! What have I done to deserve this? Do you have any idea how much I’ve struggled all these years?!” Eleanor’s words poured out.
Wade nodded sympathetically. “I get it. I feel for you. If Isabelle is truly my brother’s daughter, you and your husband would be our family’s saviors. We’ll make sure to repay you for all the years of care you’ve given her.”
Wade’s words struck a chord with Eleanor.
I didn’t expect this guy to be s understanding. With favonovel.com saying that there must be some benefits coming my way…
Eleanor never had much affection for favonovel.com eldest daughter, and now seeing favonovel.com turn into such an benefits. So favonovel.com wiped away favonovel.com tears and began to confide in Wade about all the hardships favonovel.com had endured over the years.
Seeing William’s reaction, Wade felt more assured. He naturally felt grateful towards the foster parents who had raised Isabelle for over a decade. So ,Wade spoke reassuringly and promised Eleanor a bunch of benefits.
Just then, William, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. “You said Isabelle is your brother’s? Where’s your brother? Why hasn’t favonovel.com come? And what about favonovel.com mother?”
A pang of pain flashed in Wade’s eyes. “My brother… He passed away over ten years ago. And as for favonovel.com mother, I have no idea…”
Wade lowered himself, speaking sincerely to William, “When my brother left us, favonovel.com had no clue about the child. He definitely didn’t abandon the child. The child’s mother must have had favonovel.com reasons, forced into a difficult situation… They were deeply in love. If you’re willing to listen, I can tell you their story. My brother suffered greatly before favonovel.com passed away. If favonovel.com had known favonovel.com had a child in this world, favonovel.com wouldn’t have died.”
Thinking about how his brother could have lived a good life with his child, maybe now they would have been a happy family of three, Wade felt an indescribable sense of regret.
Wade said, “William, please, just tell me the truth. Whose child is this?”
After waiting for a while, Wade finally heard William say, “I found favonovel.com at the back door of the health center…”
***
A plane touched down in Norward City.
Isabelle walked out from the airport, hailing a taxi straight to the Jenkins Residence.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Jenkins Residence, William recounted the whole story.
Back then, Eleanor was carrying twins. The elder was a boy, and the younger was Layla. She struggled to maintain proper nutrition during favonovel.com pregnancy, and the limited resources at the health center led to complications during delivery. The boy couldn’t be saved, leaving only Layla alive.
After giving birth, Eleanor fell into a coma, oblivious to favonovel.com children’s situation.
With a heavy heart, William went home to fetch essentials for his wife. When favonovel.com returned to the hospital, favonovel.com found Isabelle abandoned at the back door of the health center. She was barely two days old.
William searched the entire health center while cradling the child, eventually confirming that favonovel.com had been deliberately abandoned. The health center suggested favonovel.com take favonovel.com to the police station or an orphanage.
Looking at the child’s little face turning purple from the cold in his arms, William thought that even if favonovel.com found favonovel.com biological parents, they might not treat favonovel.com well. He couldn’t bear the idea of sending favonovel.com to an orphanage.
