Chapter 280
Yana was discharged from the hospital.
Originally, Judith planned to take her directly to the embassy.
But Alexander suddenly spoke up.
He said in a gentle voice, “Yana, you are about to leave with us. In the Miller’s residence, you must have many memories and things you want to take with you, right? Why don’t we go to the Miller’s residence together and take what needs to be taken?”
Alexander’s words made sense.
Yana thought to herself, “If I say I have no memories of the Miller’s residence at all, it would seem too heartless.
“So, I must go to the Miller’s residence.
“Not only go but also show reluctance.
“Only then can I display my integrity.”
Thinking of this, Yana said softly, “I’ll listen to Dad,”
Alexander suddenly hesitated. “But you just gave birth. How about we make a phone call and have the servants pack and send everything over?”
Yana, who wanted to show her deep affection, naturally refused decisively. She quickly said, “Dad, I want to take a look at the home I have lived in for so long. It’s possible that this might be my last time going there. Don’t worry, the servants will take care of the packing. I don’t have to do it myself, so it won’t tire me.
Alexander nodded.
The group of people went to the Miller’s residence.
Yana had difficulty walking, so Judith let her sit on the sofa downstairs and told her If there was anything she needed to arrange, she could just speak up and let the servant take care of it.

“I’ll go to your room with the servant.” Alexander stood up. “I also want to see the place where my daughter
grew up.”
Alexander’s words acknowledged her identity, so Yana happily agreed.
Alexander followed the servant and went to Yana’s room.
Before, he and Judith had been to the Miller’s residence once.
But at that time, the living room had clearly been tidied up, and there wasn’t much to see.
Alexander thought that by going to Yana’s room, he might be able to find something.
In Yana’s room, the servant was tidying up the things Yana had arranged in an orderly manner.
Alexander calmly looked around.
On Yana’s dressing table, there was a photo frame with a wedding photo. The two people in the photo were Yana
and her husband.
In the photo, Yana smiled brightly as if to prove that she was living a good life.
But Timothy’s eyes were numb and calm, as if he was not entering a marriage but entering hell.
“Oh, this, Mrs. Leen specified that it should be kept. The servant walked over and put away the photo.
Alexander smiled and looked elsewhere without saying a word.
He also saw the Miller family’s family portrait.
There were Carl, Jane, and Yana who was in the middle.
But Susan, Carl’s so–called biological daughter, was nowhere to be seen.
Alexander also found a photo album.
He casually flipped through it.
The photos in the album were from a long time ago.

He could even find photos of Yana when she was a child.
But strangely enough, no matter what time the photos were from, if it was a group photo, Susan was always
missing.
Alexander quickly flipped through, and he was determined to see what Susan looked like.
But after flipping through the entire album, he only found a back view of Susan.
At that time, the Miller family had already moved to a villa and had servants.
But from the back, Susan was bending over, cleaning.
Yana, dressed in new clothes and wearing new jewelry, was smiling at the camera.
Alexander looked at the cake in front of Yana.
He fell silent for a moment.
That day should have been Yana’s birthday.
But if he remembered correctly, Susan and Yana should have had the same birthday.
Alexander’s heart trembled.
In this world, could there really be parents who would cruelly torment their own daughter and suck her blood to give to an adopted child?
This was not a matter of logic.
This couldn’t even be explained by basic reason.
Alexander stared at the small figure of Susan in the photo, his eyes slightly reddening.
He had to admit it.
Deep down, he had never been able to accept that Yana was his daughter.
He always remembered that slender figure he had caught a glimpse of.

Now, more and more evidence seemed to point to that fact.
Susan, perhaps, was his daughter.
The Miller family not only tortured her for over twenty years, forcing her to give blood to Yana, but they even tried to find a way to let Yana steal her identity.
All of this was still only speculation.
Alexander’s heart was increasingly inclined towards this speculation.
He even vaguely felt that this was the truth.
“Sir, the room has been tidied up.” The servant finished tidying up the room and looked at Alexander’s unpleasant expression with some trepidation.
Alexander composed himself and smiled, saying, “I was just flipping through the photo album. Why can’t I find Susan in the photos?”
The servant hesitated, unsure of how to answer.
“Just tell the truth,” Alexander said kindly.
The servant pressed her lips, about to speak.
“Everything is packed. Why are you still lingering here? Hurry up and go downstairs!” Jane suddenly walked in.
The servant replied and quickly went downstairs with packed things.
Jane looked at Alexander, trying to please him. “Mr. Nicholas, if you have any questions, just ask me. Susan has always had a strange temper since she was young. Whenever we mentioned taking her photo, she would cry and throw a tantrum, so she is not in any of the family photos.”
“Is that so?” Alexander looked at her meaningfully and didn’t expose her, just putting the photo album aside.
Jane thought she had passed the test and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying, “The things are almost packed. Shall we go downstairs?”
