"Derek has always been concerned about Christina. He must have sensed something before and then went to an island in Italy to meet someone. Later, he contracted such a disease."
A severe look passed over Patrick's face. "Did Derek come into contact with the Strozzi family?"
"The ancient coin that Christina picked up a while ago is the badge of the Strozzi family."
"Badge of the Strozzi family? I don't know what you're talking about."
Donald waved at him. "Now that you're so capable, you can find out what you want by yourself. I'm just an ordinary retired man now. I don't care about many things anymore."
Patrick frowned when he saw that Donald looked indifferent. He asked directly, "Who is Christina's biological father?"
Who was Christina's biological father?
This question caused a massive shock to Donald Dickens's calm heart. His expression changed considerably. "I don't know!" He tried to calm down, but he failed.
Every time he thought of such a man, he was outraged and could not calm down.
At that time, Mary had sex with an unknown man and was pregnant. Mary was famous in her social circle, and many men were pursuing her. She didn't even notice that she was pregnant until the fetus was five months old. Still, General Eisenhower didn't allow her to have an abortion but was afraid that the premarital pregnancy would attract gossip. In the end, Donald offered to help hide the matter, and Mary married him.
Donald volunteered because he was not worthy of Mary, but he admired her brilliance and did not care who the child's biological father was. As long as Mary married him, they would live a happy life as his original pursuit.
However, no matter how hard he tried and was obedient to Mary, she still missed the unknown man she had only met once.
Who was Christina's biological father?
Donald wanted to know the answer more than anyone else that he had gone crazy to investigate. Every night, he was mad with jealousy because his wife didn't love him.
During that time, he lived a tragic and depressing life.
In the end, he decided to realize Mary's dream and secretly send her away to find that man. He let go of her, but he could never set himself free for so many years.
He was always a little humble in the privacy of his mind. Why was he no match for that man? Why was he always inferior to that man in Mary's eyes?
"Christina's surname is Dickens. She will be my daughter for the rest of her life."
Donald suddenly became excited and said forcefully, "Even if that man comes back and suddenly appears, Christina is still my daughter. No one can change this fact."
Donald had raised Christina for so many years. Although he felt guilty that he had treated her too harshly, from the moment Donald saw her born, he had concluded that this girl was his child.
"If there's nothing else, go out!"
Donald didn't want to talk about the topic that made him heartbroken.
It was the second time Patrick had been kicked out of the door by Donald in such a cold tone, but Patrick did not leave this time. He stood up and looked straight at him with deep eyes.
"Derek must have investigated the badge of the Strozzi family. He's sick now."
Patrick's tone was quite serious. "I don't care who Christina's father is, but I hope you can provide useful information. I believe you don't want to see some unpredictable danger lurking around Christina."
After hearing what he said, Donald calmed down. Did Derek have a strange illness recently? He didn't inquire about it. However, he didn't want to see Christina in danger.
Gazing at Patrick's serious expression, Donald felt a little uncomfortable again. It was as if he, a father, did not care about his daughter and let Patrick worry about it alone.
Donald deliberately changed the subject and snorted angrily. "The biggest danger around Christina is that Ms. Hopkins, who is always making trouble for her."
Patrick paused. He was about to urge him to get down to business because Donald must know something about Christina's biological father.
However, Donald had been sulking at him before and waved his hand. "Get out, get out."
Patrick looked terrible but did not force him anymore. As a wily old bird, Donald would have his ideas.
Donald stayed alone in the study all afternoon. He suddenly forgot the joy of seeing his grandsons on his birthday.
"Mary, are you coming back?"
Donald looked through the window at the setting sun on the hillside.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a light golden light fell into the room. Donald took a deep breath, then stood up and walked out of the study.
Just then, Betty prepared dinner and came to him. "It's rare for Christina to bring the two children here. Why are you alone in the study? Come out quickly."
Betty had once admired Donald in her heart because Donald was young, charming, and responsible, and he was extremely good to her sister. She felt a little sorry for Donald's original choice.
Now, Donald, his brother-in-law, was her relative.
For Donald, Betty had always been his sister and someone he could trust.
"Betty, do you still have those things that your sister used to have when she was young..." Donald suddenly asked her.
Betty was a little shocked by the question. "What are you looking for all of a sudden?"
