Chapter 15
No Hug “Jaylen, thank you for coming today,” after Danica thanked him, she turned her head and said. “Dillon, please take good care of Mr Terrell.” “Yes. Mr Terrell, please come with me.” Jaylen knew that Danica and her family still had something to talk about. He glanced at Paige and said a few words before following Dillon, “Come, let’s sit down and talk about it.” Danica took Paige’s hand and asked Patricia to sit down. This scene was like a thorn in Patricia’s eyes as if there was a knife stabbing her heart. “Patricia, let me reintroduce her. She is Paige Lusk. She is my biological daughter ” When Patricia heard this, she was so shocked. Patricia always thought that Paige was a distant relative who came to borrow money. She did not expect that Paige would be the biological daughter of her parents… No wonder Danica and Donald were being so nice to Paige! “It was like this. Donald and I passed by a small town in the past. At that time, I was close to labor There was no other way. We could only find the nearest health center to give birth to my daughter ” Danica followed the memory in her mind and recalled the past, “The health center we found had no single ward. The nurse temporarily arranged a triple room for me. Two other pregnant women were waiting for labor there. “In the latter half of the night, the health center suddenly caught fire. I don’t know what happened. “Because the smoke is too big, I can’t see the direction…. “In the panic, I held a child and thought it was Paige… “In fact, you are the child of another pregnant woman, not mine. “It was me who took the wrong baby.” These words smashed the last line of defense on Patricia’s face. She could not believe that she was a stranger to the Lusk family! “Paige was taken away by the Tate family, and the child of the Tate family was picked up and raised by a cleaner And you came to our family… If I hadn’t happened to see the news on the Internet a while ago, I wouldn’t have known that all three families had the wrong child!” Patricia felt so shocked. Danica didn’t plan to tell everything to them, but in the end, she chose to tell the truth, “As for your biological mother, we had people investigate it. Because of the hemorrhage after birth, her body was too weak. That night, she didn’t escape from the fire…” What? Her biological mother d*ed on the night she gave birth to her? Patricia’s face was completely pale. She could not believe all of this. “Your biological father is missing. We can’t find him,” when Danica said this, she looked at Paige and said generously “We have discussed it with Paige. We intend to let you stay in our family. From now on, you are sisters. “We owe Paige too much these years. Next, we will do everything we can to make up for her Although you are not our biological daughter, we have regarded you as a family member for these years. In the future, you and Paige should get along well. Take care of her and accompany her Could you do that for me?” When she heard that her parents were biased, Patricia could not accept it at all! How could a younger sister take care of her elder sister? All these years, Patricia had been proud of her family. Because her father was the richest man in the country, and her mother was a famous beauty. Her five brothers were doing well in various industries. Since she was a child, everyone flattered and curry favor with her…. When was it her turn to flatter others and curry favor with others? Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, at this time, after weighing the pros and cons, Patricia still said gracefully, “It happens all of a sudden. I need time to digest. But I feel sorry for what happened to Paige “I lived in this house for eighteen years. Now my most beloved parents told me that I’m not their daughter…” Patricia lowered her curly eyelashes, looking sad and pitiful. “I didn’t expect my biological mother would die in the fire the day I was born. My biological father is missing. I have never done one thing for them…..” When Patricia said this, she couldn’t help but shed tears.. She reached out her hand to wipe away her tears as if she wiped away the sadness and the regret. “M*m and dad, you are willing to let me stay in this family I am very grateful and very satisfied. You can rest assured that from now on, I will get along well with my sister!” She was very sincere, and her eyes which had been washed with tears were particularly sincere. But Paige grew up in the Tate family and had seen all kinds of strange things. With just a glance, she could see that what Patricia said was not true. “Paige, welcome back.” Patricia opened her arms, wanting to hug her Due to the expected eyes of her parents, Paige faintly responded, “Well, thank you. But no hug.” Patricia froze in place. “I don’t like to have physical contact with others. I’m sorry.” Paige had always been cold. But this kind of response and attitude to Patricia meant that Paige didn’t like Patricia. Paige deliberately embarrassed her and made her feel humiliated! “Paige is used to being alone You’ll get to know each other later We are a family now. Patricia, you don’t have to be polite.” Patricia heard this and felt embarrassed. She finally answered obediently, “OK.” Danica looked at the time, “Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s have dinner first’ Paige, are you hungry? We are too busy talking and forgot that it’s dinner time!” Donald smiled and said to Paige, “I and Danica cooked dinner today Have a try. If you don’t like it, tell us. We can make a change.” The dining table was full of all kinds of delicious food, and they heard that it was made by Donald and Danica… Patricia felt sour in her heart. There were four chefs at home, so how could Donald and Danica cook for them? But today, Donald and Danica did that for Paige! Donald and Danica kept picking up food for Paige. After a while, Paige’s plate was full of food. Although they took care of Patricia’s feelings and gave her a lot of food, Patricia found that they picked more food for Paige. This made Patricia jealous. “Paige, you have suffered a lot these years! Make yourself at home, OK? “Taste this. Look at how skinny you are…” Standing at the side, when Amily saw that Patricia was neglected, she could not help but feel distressed. Fortunately, Paige went upstairs after dinner and did not stay for long. Only then did Patricia find the opportunity to chat with her parents. After going around for a while, she carefully asked, “Dad and mom, you saw the search on the Internet. Why do you think that Paige is your biological daughter? Is there any evidence?” She wanted to say, could Paige be a fake? After all, everyone wanted to be the daughter of the richest man in the country…. Donald and Danica couldn’t be sure that Paige was their daughter based on their similar appearance, right? When Donald heard this, he was stunned at first and then quickly explained with a smile, “There is no evidence. But the experience of the night when Paige was born is the same as the night in our memory.”
