After receiving Juelz’s strange and resentful gaze, Dorothy didn’t know how to react. “I don’t know if it’s true or not. I just woke up. Credence and Jonathan told me that your uncle is my biological father, and the woman who we’re not on good terms with is my mother. No one ever asked me for my opinion about this.”
Up till now, she still thought that it was very strange.
She pretended to not have heard Germaine’s earlier remarks.
“Dory, let me ask you this, how does it feel to suddenly have a new pair of parents?” Germaine walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down. She pulled her face close to Dorothy and carefully looked at her. “To be honest, I really can’t see which part of you resembles my uncle. At most, only your eyes and nose are somewhat similar to his. If we really have to, even I resemble him more than you.”
“As for that woman, Ysabelle, you look nothing like her at all. However, apart from the colors of their eyes, Belle looks a lot like her.”
“I have heard uncle mention that Ysabelle is of mixed heritage with azure eyes. It’s very likely for Belle to inherit her grandmother’s eyes. Ahh… I think this explains why Belle has blond hair and blue eyes.”
Speaking on this, Germaine seemed to recall something. She looked at Dorothy and made a face. “Back then, when Belle was just born in Monticello, we all agreed that it wasn’t the hospital that brought up the wrong child. We thought that you secretly cheated on Credence. Otherwise, there was no reason for Belle not to look like you or Credence at all.”
Dorothy shook her head helplessly and asked with a smile, “Are you here to see me, or to make fun of me?”
“Of course I am here to see you, as well as gossip with you.” Germaine patted her face, which was red with anger. She lowered her eyes, sighed, and said, “Dory, you could have been anyone’s daughter. Why did you become Ysabelle’s daughter in a blink of an eye? I fought against that woman from the very beginning. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth, I never liked her and always went against her!”
“I didn’t want that to happen either! It happened so suddenly that I found it impossible to accept. I think it would be better for us to wait for the paternity test results to come out before we talk about this.”
Dorothy pursed her lower lip and looked at Juelz, who was standing behind Germaine silently. She smiled happily and said, “Juelz, if I am really related to the Sherman family, then I really am your cousin. I don’t think that’s such a bad thing.”
“But, I would rather not have you as my cousin.”
Juelz smiled bitterly and looked at her. He continued to stare at her. After a long while, his gaunt handsome face was full of loneliness. “This world is really funny. In the end, you became my cousin, f*ck cousins!”
“Dory, from the very beginning, I have only wanted you to be my woman! All in all, it’s not just my reality that’s been torn down, it’s my entire worldview! If you are really a member of the Sherman family, then I don’t even have the right to pursue you anymore, don’t you think that’s infuriating?”
“Juelz, I’m very likely going to be your cousin. Aren’t you happy about that?”
Dorothy blinked her eyes, she did not understand why Juelz was so filled with resentment.
They were now real relatives, this was wonderful!
In the future, no matter how much fun they were having together, Credence had no reason to be jealous, nor would he have the right to beat him up anymore.
“F*ck, what’s so great about that? It’s not good at all.”
Juelz rubbed his face in annoyance. After a burst of anger, his temples suddenly flinched. “14 years. Dory, you have loved Credence for 13 years, but I have loved you for 14 years. Now, someone suddenly jumps up and points at my nose to tell me that you’re actually my cousin, a woman whom I have no right to love. What should I do about that?”
Where was he supposed to find another woman to replace Dorothy’s position in his heart?
He did not know how to find one, he really didn’t.
Credence was washing Dorothy’s dishes in the bathroom. As soon as he pushed his wheelchair out, he heard Juelz’s depressed words. He pushed his wheelchair forcefully to the side of the bed with a blank face and pushed Juelz aside. He grabbed Dorothy’s slightly cold hands and wrapped them in his dry hands. He gave her a gentle and comforting smile and then glanced at Juelz with a cold expression. “Your situation can be handled easily. I’ll find another woman for you. If you don’t like one woman, I can send you ten. If you still aren’t satisfied, I’ll find thousands of women for you to look at. If you continue to meet more and more women, there will definitely be one that is right for you!”
“F*ck, Credence, what do you mean by that? It’s not up to you to decide what kind of woman I should pursue. Don’t forget, Dory is my cousin now. If you continue to be so annoying, best believe that I will make your life hard, you damned scumbag.”
Juelz frowned and shouted angrily, “As your brother-in-law, I will slowly get even with you for everything you have done to Dory in the past. F*ck off. Stop interfering when I am talking to my cousin.”
As the only bystander, Germaine was very happy to watch the show. She almost laughed out loud. She held her belly and shouted, “Oh my god, Juelz, you are already arguing with Mr. Scott before you’ve even managed to say a full sentence. Don’t you find this meaningless? Don’t you?”
Dorothy looked at Germaine and nodded in agreement. She sighed helplessly.
The way men got along with each other was so childish.
Moreover, there were still a lot of problems that needed to be handled. The two of them did not know how they could still be in the mood to argue.
Juelz was amused by Germaine, he knew that he was making a huge fuss as well. He lifted his leg and kicked the wheel of Credence’s wheelchair lightly. He sneered coldly, “Credence, aren’t you a powerful man? Why did you make yourself look so miserable? Why must you plaster yourself up like this? Don’t tell me you’re deliberately doing this to yourself to make yourself look miserable in front of Dorothy? Do you really have to resort to such a method to get her attention?”
F*cking hell, even if he didn’t have the right to pursue Dorothy, he would still try to provoke Credence. He would provoke this man who had deeply harmed Dorothy to death.
As a proper member of her family, he should have the guts to help Dorothy out.
“Do I need to hurt myself to get my wife’s attention?” Credence narrowed his eyes and clenched Dorothy’s hands. His gaze was soft and affectionate, “There is nothing that a single kiss can’t solve. If there is, then I will kiss her twice!”
What the actual f*ck.
Juelz’s expressions immediately changed. He could not continue listening to this anymore, he really couldn’t.
This damned man actually took the opportunity to confess his love and loyalty to her, just how shameless could he be?!
Germaine was caught off guard. She kept clicking her tongue and said, “You two lovebirds are annoying me. Please be more considerate of us single people, thanks!”
Dorothy was amused by Germaine. She lowered her head, and her face and ears turned red.
Credence smiled wickedly. “The door is over there. The two of you can leave.”
He was already asking them to leave. What was the point of them staying?
Juelz snorted coldly, then turned around to leave.
Germaine followed him and said, “Once all the irrelevant people have left, you two can continue drowning in your love for each other.”
After the two of them left, Dorothy withdrew her hands and took a deep breath. She looked at Credence and said, “Credence, Belle doesn’t have much time left. Have you found a bone marrow donor that matches hers?”
