The compatibility result of DNA result was out too?
Alice's face took on a ghastly expression. She had not expected Brittany to be so meticulous. Alice would not be able to conceal anymore.
"Alice, was I really adopted?"
Although Amelia knew the answer, she stubbornly wanted to hear the truth from the person she trusted.
However, Amelia did not know that this was also a kind of harm for Alice! Alice had to hold back her heartache and revealed the truth that she had covered up for twenty years!
Alice came to Amelia with tears in her eyes. She raised her hand to touch Amelia's pale cheek and muttered with sympathy, "Amelia, I'll tell you everything I know. But please don't hate your parents? They love you so much."
"Hate them?" Amelia murmured.
How could an abandoned infant with an unknown identity have the right to hate the 'parents' that had been raising her?
When Patrick noticed that Amelia was fragilely swaying on the spot, he quickly held her. "Hang in there, Mrs. Hopper."
Alice grabbed Amelia's other hand tightly and said to Patrick, "Patrick, please hold Amelia. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
However, Patrick straight away bent down to carry Amelia as if he was reluctant to let her walk.
As he lowered his head, he looked at Amelia with concern. Then, he said firmly and dotingly, "If you don't feel well, let's go back now."
Amelia shook her head. "Before going back, I want to get this straight."
Patrick sighed and said as if he had known what she was thinking, "All right, but if you can't stand it, just tell me, I'll take you away."
Patrick felt the urge to swear when he looked at her pale demeanour. Who the f*ck cared if she was the adopted daughter of the Ramsay family? He desperately wanted her to leave everything behind and get away with him!
Kaleb felt that something was off when he saw Patrick turning around to leave with Amelia in his arms. He shouted, "Hey, Madam Amelia! Don't you want to do the DNA test?"
Amelia's hand which was holding onto Patrick's neck slightly tightened. Without waiting for Patrick to lose his temper, she replied, "No. There're no need to anymore. Since it has been confirmed, there's no need to do it again. You lot don't care about my father's health, but I do."
Her words were like a slap on Kaleb and Brittany's faces!
An adopted orphan girl cared for her foster father. Yet, one of George's cousins and George's biological daughter kept on torturing him.
When Kaleb was struck speechless, not to be outdone, Brittany chimed in, "Your action shows more than your words. Who knows if you're just afraid effacing the reality?"
Patrick frowned and stared at her menacingly. "Brittany Ramsay, do you know why I let you go last time?"
"Wh... why?" Brittany blurted as she met his eyes.
"Because you're Amelia's sister."
"But now, since you're no longer her sister, then..."
"You've lost your shield."
By his reputation, Patrick easily got an office from the hospital dean. The hospital dean repeatedly promised on the phone that it was quiet there, which would be a good place to discuss private matters.
As a result, Amelia was carried all the way here, which attracted strange looks. However, Patrick went straight ahead without entertaining any of their gazes.
Once they were at the office, Patrick put Amelia down and immediately occupied the position next to her, showing his possessiveness.
Then, Alice took her seat, while Audrey stayed outside the office. But at this moment, Derrick appeared in front of Audrey.
Audrey was taken aback and could not help to stop him, "Mr...Mr. Simmons, what are you doing?"
When Derrick heard her, he said, "I don't deserve
that."
That phrase might sound modest or humble, but when Derrick said it, it was a kind of rejection, indicating that he would not give Amelia a chance to address him as her uncle.
Patrick and Alice frowned simultaneously. They thought Derrick was too hard-hearted.
A bitter smile appeared on Amelia's face, and she thought sadly, "He's right. When I was bearing the title of 'Miss Amelia Ramsay', Derrick was already indifferent to me. Now that I'm confirmed to be a nobody, how can be warm to me? Isn't that just an unrealistic expectation?"
She then lowered her gaze, Amelia took the initiative to address him properly. "Mr. Simmons, did you know I was adopted from the beginning?"
Derrick found a seat and sat down. Then, he looked at her calmly and said, "I only found out about it not long ago."
Was he referring to the time when Brittany contacted him?
It dawned on Amelia and sorrow appeared on her face. "I thought... Mr. Simmons has already known about this long ago." And she thought that was why he was so cold to her.
Derrick looked at her and suddenly asked, "Perhaps you think that that is the reason why I ignored you for so many years?"
Amelia pursed her lips and admitted, "Yes, I thought it's because you knew I was adopted long ago, so I didn't deserve the Simmons family's care. And that's why the Simmons family gave up on me."
After listening to what Amelia said, Derrick shook his head. "You're wrong."
"Can I ask why?" Amelia asked curiously.
Derrick answered with a complex expression, "The Simmons family didn't give up on you, but on that unfilial daughter of mine, Petty Simmons."
"What?" Amelia thought that her acceptance of the several reality checks was already high. However, when Derrick said this, she could not help but gasp.
