Chris looked at her defeatedly and said, “Okay, I’ll arrange it. But she’s frail right now. She can’t talk for extended periods.”
“I’ll take note of that, thanks.”
Chris sighed helplessly. “I have to apologize to you. I’m the one who forced you to come back. I also took your bone marrow for testing against your will.”
Madison didn’t have the heart to reprimand him when she saw his sickly face.
“It’s fine. Thank you for letting me know the truth. If not for the test, I’d still be in the dark. Mr. Davis, since I’m not Ms. Parker’s biological daughter, you’ll be able to save her when you find her child. Don’t be too sad.”
“That’s true. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet her. Let’s find out what happened.”
Chris brought Madison to the hospital. Madison was still reeling from all the information she uncovered. Too many things happened abruptly. She didn’t even have time to think about Leia.
Since Chloe wasn’t her mother, she wondered about Jeff. Was he her father, or was her father someone else? Did Jeff know about her origins?
She tried to search her memories for anything suspicious when she was with him, but she came up empty.
She looked at the rain outside the window. It reminded her of her emotions that were in a mess.
After some time passed, they arrived at the hospital. Madison quickly got out of the car. She almost tripped and fell.
Chris gave her a hand. “Be careful.”
“Yes, thanks,” Madison thanked him calmly and followed him into the hospital.
This was the first time Madison was going to meet Chloe after she fell sick. She felt conflicted. She wondered if Chloe had already known she wasn’t her biological daughter, and that was why she was so cold to her.
If that was the case, Chloe owed her nothing.
Madison finally saw Chloe again after so long. She no longer looked like the elegant lady she was.
She had lost a lot of weight. She was lying on the bed with her hair down. Her face was pale, and she looked lethargic.
Chloe looked toward the door when she heard it open. Her eyes lit up when she saw Madison.
She struggled to sit up. Chris and Madison rushed over to her and helped her up.
“You don’t have to get up. Just lie down.”
Chloe grabbed Madison’s hand. “Madie, you finally came to see me. I know I’ve let you down. It’s all my fault.”
Madison was stunned. She thought Chloe knew that they weren’t related. Besides, she was already in a bad state. She didn’t have to pretend if she didn’t care about her.
Chloe reached out to touch Madison’s face. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I know you must’ve been so scared, but I said some terrible things to you.”
Madison glanced at Chris, seemingly asking, “Does she not know?”
Chris steadied Chloe and said, “Chloe, I have something to tell you, but you must promise me that you won’t get worked up.”
Chloe took a look at Chris and Madison’s face. She noticed something was wrong.
“Is the bone marrow not a match? Madie, I’ve already thought things through. Everything that happened was my fault. Now karma’s coming back to bite me. I’ll accept anything that happens to me. I’ll be satisfied as long as I see you safe and sound.”
When she heard those words, Madison felt like she had been stabbed in the chest.
Why did Chloe have to come to her senses at this moment? She finally felt her mother’s love for the first time, but something like this happened.
“Why are you crying, Madie?”
Chloe hugged her and said tearfully, “I’ve been thinking about the past. I know I haven’t been a good mother. I’ve never given you enough attention.
“I don’t have much time left. Give me a chance to love you like I should’ve done all those years ago.”
Chloe hadn’t picked up on Chris’ and Madison’s expressions. She was still immersed in her memories.
“I remember that I never cared about your studies or your preferences. After leaving you for so many years, I didn’t even call you once. You must have hated me for leaving you when you were so young, right?”
“I…” Madison sniffed, wondering if she should tell Chloe the truth.
Chris hesitated for a while and sighed. “Chloe, you have to calm down. What I’m about to say is very important.”
Madison wiped her tears and then helped Chloe wipe hers.
Chloe was taken aback. Madison had always been cold to her. This was the first time Madison approached her.
“What do you want to tell me?”
Chris went straight to the point. “The bad news is that Madison’s bone marrow isn’t compatible.”
“Yeah, I was prepared for that.’
“The good news is that Madison isn’t your biological daughter. You have another daughter. Her bone marrow may be a match.
The news was too sudden and direct. It was like a blow to Chloe’s head, causing her to be dazed.
“W-What did you say?”
It seemed like the truth had been kept from Chloe as well. Chris didn’t explain too much and handed her the evidence, saying, “Here, look at this.”
Chloe saw the DNA test results. Her face paled, and she shook her head. “Impossible! How could this be? How could Madison not be my daughter?”
Madison tried to comfort her. “M-Ms. Parker, calm down. I had just found out too. I was as surprised as you are right now. This report is authentic. Something must’ve happened back then. Think back. You were pregnant, right?”
Chloe muttered, “I may not have liked your father, but my pregnancy was real. At that time, I had severe morning sickness and kept vomiting for several months, which was quite torturous.
”
“No wonder you never liked me,” Madison quipped.
Chris held Chloe’s hand and comforted her, saying, “Don’t cry. I’ll find your daughter. I’ll leave you two alone. You must have a lot to talk about.”
Chloe and Madison were the only ones left in the ward. They looked at each other in silence. They were still trying to come to terms with their current identities.
Chloe was the first to break the silence. She held Madison’s hand and said, “It doesn’t matter even if we’re not related by blood. I still need to make it up to you. This terminal disease must be my punishment.”
“Ms. Parker, you don’t have to say that. You’ll definitely find a compatible bone marrow. You must rest well.”
“How is your dad?”
“He…”
Madison shook her head and said, “He’s still the same.”
The authorities kept the incident at Jeff’s hospital a secret. The public did not know what happened.
Even Madison wasn’t aware of the number of casualties.
“If your father wakes up, tell him I’m sorry. I’ve betrayed his love. He’s a good man. He shouldn’t have been put through these hardships.”
Oftentimes, people would only begin to appreciate the beauty of life after being placed in a hopeless situation.
Madison had waited for this moment for over a decade. However, at this moment, as she looked at Chloe on the hospital bed, she had truly let go of her grievances.
Chloe had indeed been irresponsible, but she wasn’t her birth mother. The biological bond between a parent and their child was unique. Perhaps Chloe was only cold to her because they weren’t actually related.
Chloe wasn’t in good shape and couldn’t talk much more. The reality was that their situation was very awkward. There wasn’t much to say. Madison left after talking a little bit more.
Madison stood at a crossroad, watching as cars drove by. She felt lost. She had a lot of things she needed to do, but she didn’t know where to start.
Chloe wasn’t her mother, and Jeff probably wasn’t her father as well. She wondered where her real family was.
Did they not know about her after all these years? She was alone in Aldenvine, not knowing what to do.
Her stomach rumbled. She sighed and collected her thoughts, She decided to plan her next step after getting breakfast.
She began to walk to the nearest place with restaurants, The storm had died down significantly, and the clouds looked like they were dissipating.
Madison dialed Colin’s number. She wanted to ask about Leo. Even if Jeff wasn’t her biological father, he treated her very well and gave her all the love he could.
Their relationship had long surpassed that of just blood relations.
Madison couldn’t reach Colin’s phone, which made her feel uneasy. The woman mentioned that Leo was going to seek revenge against Hunter. Why did Colin’s phone also become unreachable?
Madison’s finger hovered over Hunter’s number, but she didn’t make the call. She was only suspecting that his sister was alive. With his obsession with his sister, he would probably get mad before Madison could finish saying what she wanted.
She decided to get evidence before talking to him.
Madison went to a restaurant, had some pancakes, and drank milk. She left for the cemetery after she paid for her meal.
Before she got out of the restaurant, someone ran into her. Madison stepped back in fright. She thought the people who kidnapped her previously had come to get her.
Upon taking a closer look, she saw a well-dressed man who had somehow ended up right before her.
