When the results of the DNA test came out at five o’clock in the afternoon, Frederick called Francis as soon as he got the result. “Sir, the result is out! It’s really Miss!”
Francis stayed silent for a long time after he heard that. He had hope when he saw the birthmark yesterday, but he was still overwhelmed with joy when he heard the results. Frederick asked when he didn’t hear anything from over the phone, “Sir, are you listening?”
“Yes! I can’t believe it!” Francis sighed. “I thought she… I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
“You’re so lucky and you can rest assured that Miss is still alive! What are you going to do now?” Frederick asked.
“You’d better come back first! Hold on… you can go straight to the hospital and I’ll meet you there.” Francis could not leave Azalea alone after he was sure that she was his missing illegitimate daughter.
In the hospital, Azalea finally woke up after she was in a coma for more than ten hours.
She felt excruciating pain everywhere as soon as she opened her eyes and she sobbed, “It hurts… it hurts…”
The nurse in the ward immediately stepped forward when she heard Azalea’s voice. “Miss, are you awake?”
Azalea tilted her head slightly and looked at the unfamiliar nurse. “Who are you?”
“I’m here to take care of you. Miss, do you want me to call a doctor for you?”
Azalea nodded and the nurse immediately called the doctor, who came in to examine her. “It’s normal for your leg to hurt like this. You should only take painkillers if you can’t stand the pain because those drugs are harmful to the child in your belly. Are you sure you want to eat them?”
Azalea remembered that she was pregnant when she heard this. Then, she reached out to touch her belly and suddenly asked the nurse, “Has anyone come to visit me?”
“Yes, a lady came over at noon, but she left when she saw you asleep.”
Could it be Meadow? Azalea asked, Did anyone else come other than her? I’m referring to a very handsome young man.”
“No!” The nurse shook her head.
How could Michael not show up even though she was so badly injured? Was this even possible? Could Michael not know that she was injured?
Azalea remembered how cruel she had been treated last night and hurriedly called the nurse. “Where’s my phone? Bring it over to me. I want to make a call!”
“I didn’t see your phone at all,” the nurse explained.
“Then please make a call for me and I’ll give you the phone number,” Azalea remembered Michael’s phone number very clearly, so she asked the nurse to call him.
The call was connected after a while. Michael’s voice was cold when he spoke. “Who is it?”
“Michael, it’s me… Boohoo… I was hospitalized after I was beaten up… They were so vicious that they covered my mouth while they broke my legs…”
“Weren’t your legs broken during the car accident?” Michael asked.
“No, someone injured me beforehand. They’re too merciless! Michael, I know who did it!”
Michael also had a suspect when he heard Azalea’s words and he asked calmly, “Who is it?”
“It’s either your mother or your grandfather. No one else would do this except them!”
Michael said, “So what if it’s them? Do you think I would help you deal with them?”
“No… I… Does that mean that I got hurt for nothing?”
“How would I know? I won’t help you! Of course, you can sue them for harming you intentionally and report this to the police to vent your anger.”
Where would Azalea get the evidence? It was just her guess after all. Even if she had the evidence, she couldn’t do anything to Wayne and Meadow.
She had nothing now and she had lost all of her status!
Azalea wailed out loud because she was upset. Just then, Michael immediately hung up expressionlessly after he heard her sob.
Was she really starting to cry now? This was just the beginning and she would suffer even more in the coming days.
Francis and Frederick heard Azalea’s wailing when they carried their things out of the elevator.
Francis sped up and went straight to Azalea’s ward. When he reached the door, he asked, “What’s going on?”
The nurse waved her hands when she saw Frederick and Francis. “Miss Clark just made a phone call, but I don’t know what the person on the phone said to her to make her like this.”
Francis’ heart ached terribly when he saw Azalea bawling like this. He didn’t feel disgusted at all and he even took out a tissue to wipe Azalea’s tears. “Don’t cry! You’ll rip your wounds again if you do this! Tell me what happened and I’ll help you!”
Azalea stopped crying and looked at Francis. She got a little confused at that moment when she saw him in her ward.
Did he just wipe her tears?
Francis looked at Azalea’s haggard and pale appearance. When he saw how similar she looked to his mistress in the past, he felt even more pity for her.
He tidied the hair on Azalea’s forehead, which made her so shocked that she shrank back. “You’re… you’re…”
Francis couldn’t tell Azalea that she was his own daughter right now, so he said in a gentle voice, “You had a car accident yesterday and it was caused by Evelyn’s car. I’ll apologize on her behalf and you can ask anything you want from me! I will try my best to meet your requirements.”
Azalea immediately realized that Evelyn had hit her last night after hearing Francis’ words.
Azalea immediately started to recall the incident. She had been beaten up so badly that she rolled into the middle of the road and was hit by a car.
The people who planned the attack were either Wayne or Meadow. Michael just said that he would not help her and she could not take revenge alone. The only thing she could do now was to swallow her anger and find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.
Francis did not know what had happened before she was hit by the car, so he took the initiative to take responsibility for her injury. Since that was the case, Azalea could only choose to pretend to be confused.
Naturally, Azalea had countless requests and what she lacked the most right now was money. Was Francis sure he could meet her requirements?
Francis’ heart softened when he saw that Azalea was looking at him with teary eyes silently. “I know that you have suffered a lot before, but you don’t have to worry because I’ll help you in the future. From now on, no one will bully you and make things difficult for you!”
“Is this true?” Azalea did not believe his words at all.
“Of course, I’ve never lied in my life.”
Azalea was doubtful when she saw Francis’ determination. “Why are you helping me? Do you feel sorry just because I was hit by your granddaughter?”
“Not only that,” Francis said vaguely.
Azalea asked, “Is there another reason why you want to help me?”
“I can’t tell you the reason now, but I’ll tell you about it after you recover. I know you have doubts in your heart now, which are making you feel uneasy. It’s normal for you to have concerns, but you’ll know that your worries are unnecessary in the future.”
“I know your capabilities and I know you can help anyone fulfil their wishes easily, but my situation is very special.”
“I can help you no matter what situation you’re in.”
“I want you to help me… marry Michael and make me the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Davis family. Can you do it?” Azalea asked.
“Yes! I can definitely fulfil your wish of marrying Michael, but you have to listen to me!” Francis answered with certainty.
