“Mom, Mom.” No sooner had Jenna walked out of the gate to the Ink Garden than she saw Larry stepping out of the electric car with Jerry. As soon as he caught a glimpse of Jenna, he shouted and ran over to her. He pestered her and said, “Mom, you promised me last night that you would take me to Ocean Park to play. Don’t go back on your word.”
Jenna looked down at Jerry’s tiny tender face, which was flashing with a sheer exuberant smile. Her heart was moved, and a warm smile appeared on her lips. She bent down and held him in her arms.
“Mom, I’m going to the underwater park to sleep with the great white shark, okay?” Jerry put his arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek with his small lips, pleading with her in his childish voice.
Jenna gently touched his face with her hand.
“Who in this world didn’t want to reunite with their own flesh and blood as soon as possible?” When Madam Lilian’s words replayed in her ears, Jenna felt an uncanny feeling in her heart. Her hand stroked Jerry’s face, and her expression was a little dull.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you going back on your word? Then, you’re being too mean.” Jerry hugged Jenna’s neck and saw that she didn’t give him a positive response. He was unhappy, pursing his lips. His little face was swarmed with grievances and confusion. In his eyes, Jenna must have broken her promise. She didn’t want to take him to play, which was why she was wearing this kind of facial expression.
Jenna was woken up by Jerry’s call and came back to her senses. When she saw Jerry’s aggrieved expression, she smiled dotingly and said, “Jerry, I will definitely do what I promised. However, there are still guests at home today and I have something to do here. How about this? I’ll have Larry bring you to play first, and I will come and pick you up when it’s over, alright?”
When Jerry heard this, he was relieved that he was able to play. Although Jenna wouldn’t go with him, Larry was there to accompany him. Furthermore, she also agreed to come and pick him up. It sounded like a good idea.
“Mom, then I’m going to sleep with the great white shark. I want to spend the night in the aquarium today.” He thought for a moment, with his eyes blinking as he brought up the request.
“Okay, fine, that’s it,” Jenna responded to him dotingly and softly. “You can play with Larry here first, and then Dad and I will come and sleep with you and the great white shark, okay?”
“Wow, that’s awesome.” Jerry was so happy that he cheered.
“Larry, take Jerry to the Ocean Park at Ekka Plaza and enjoy the visit to your heart’s content. Hansen and I will only come over later.” Jenna turned her head and instructed Larry.
As soon as Larry heard this, she nodded and agreed with a smile.
“Let’s do this, I’ll send two bodyguards with you. This way, you can take care of each other. Please be careful.” Larry took Jerry and was about to turn around and go to the Green Jade Garden to pack up some things. Jenna thought about it and instructed from behind. She wanted Paul to go with them, but Paul and Irvin were usually secret guards and would not show up easily. Besides, they had been busy for quite a while, and she was too embarrassed to bother them with such a small matter. It was time for them to have a good rest.
“Okay, don’t worry, Madam. I will pay attention to safety,” Larry said respectfully, smiling.
Jenna nodded and after seeing Larry off with Jerry, she stayed rooted there in a daze. She was a little absent-minded.
Jenna had been sitting on the big stone on Central Island for what seemed like an eternity.
After sending Jerry away, her mind was in a state of chaos, and she couldn’t calm down at all. She arrived at this place, completely lost.
At that point, it seemed that she could finally see the light to most issues.
The reason Madam Lilian was so nice to her, the way she repeatedly inquired about Sara, and even visited her in person, and going to the hospital that moment to take care of Sara in person, everything finally had a reasonable explanation.
When she was in the hospital the day before, what Madam Lilian had said to Sara filtered through her mind again, and she came to understand everything. It was no wonder she had spoken like that the day before. It turned out that Sara was Madam Lilian’s daughter, and she was her granddaughter.
She gradually recalled the scenes of her acquaintance with Madam Lilian. Later when the two of them had pledged to be in a grandmother-granddaughter relationship, she became more clear-headed.
It seemed that Madam Lilian had known about their relationship for a long time, but both she and Sara had been kept in the dark.
She closed her eyes and lay her whole body on the big stone, with her heart jangling with mixed emotions.
In the spacious and bright president’s office, Hansen was reviewing documents seriously and attentively.
Yuri quietly walked in.
“Mr. Richards, there’s a man by the name of Paul Wallace waiting outside to see you.”
Paul Wallace? Hansen raised his head. He pondered for a moment and immediately instructed her. “Invite him in.”
“Understood.” Yuri gently agreed and walked out.
After a while, Paul, a man with a medium-sized build, came in.
“Mr. Richards, everything that you asked me to investigate is clear now,” Paul said in a low voice, walking in.
Hansen’s brows twitched. He put the document down in his hand and stood up.
“Come, sit here.” He went to the couch and sat down. Leaning against the back of the couch, he lifted a pitch-black bronze statue, and made a gesture signalling Paul to sit. He asked seriously, “Paul, what’s the outcome?”
Paul sat down on the couch and announced seriously, “Mr. Richards, I can now confirm now that the daughter whom Madam Lilian is looking for is Sara Garver.”
“Is that really true?” It seemed to be within Hansen’s expectation, but he also felt that it was a bit too good to be true. It was hard to imagine. He raised his head thoughtfully and nodded. “Sure enough.”
“Yes, Mr. Richards. I’ve been suspicious of their relationship since Madam Lilian visited Sara last time. But that time, Madam Lilian left quietly, which surprised me a lot. It seemed that there was no turning point. But today, when Madam Lilian showed up in Sara’s ward again, everything proved that Sara is Madam Lilian’s daughter,” Paul added with boundless emotion.
Hansen’s sharp brows furrowed slightly. The expression on his face calmed down after a brief moment of shock.
“Are you sure about the mother-daughter relationship between them now?” he asked, lightly tapping the back of the couch with his fingers.
“Yes.” Paul said confidently, “I’m sure of it. Madam Lilian has completed a paternity test, but out of all kinds of concerns, she hasn’t told Sara yet. I predict that it won’t be far off from now. It can be seen that Madam Lilian hadn’t successfully acknowledged her daughter previously, probably because there was something going on. Maybe it was at that time that she learnt about Yadriel’s plot and deliberately left.”
Hansen pondered for a moment before nodding.
“That is to say, although Madam Lilian knows about this relationship, Sara and Jenna are not privy to it.” Hansen repeated. He remembered that during Vivian’s funeral, Jenna had repeatedly doubted the intimacy Madam Lilian showed towards her. It seemed that the smart lady had already had a hunch and had already sensed it.
