However, Felix didn't seem to be joking at all.
Donald finally realized that he was serious.
His heart sank.
"Then what should we do now?"
After a short pause, Felix said, "Let's wait and see."
Then he went upstairs.
Upstairs, Queeny was sitting on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.
In fact, it was not hot in this season, but perhaps it was because she was in a fret, she inexplicably felt a sense of restlessness.
She didn't feel better until she sat here and felt the cool wind.
When Felix came here, she didn't notice him until she felt his warm hand on her shoulder.
When she turned around and saw him, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"They all left?"
"Yes."
Felix walked to the front and sat down beside her. He put his arm around her shoulder and held her in his arms.
Queeny leaned against his shoulder, looked at the stars in the sky, and said in a low voice, "What did Stephan say to you today?"
Felix was stunned.
Queeny smiled and looked at him.
"In fact, you don't have to hide it from me. I have known it. I know that Stephan came here today. Since he came here, he must have his own purpose. We have completely offended him before. He came here today for revenge."
She stood up and turned to look at Felix.
"Guess what I found when I sorted out the gifts today?"
Felix frowned and didn't answer.
Queeny took a box and opened it.
There were several golden pills in the box.
She smiled and said, "I saw this. This is a gift from Stephan. There is a note on it, asking me to take it every ten days. He is not a doctor. How does he know what kind of illness I am suffering and what medicine I should take?"
By this time, Felix had realized that he couldn't hide it from her anymore.
Queeny had already known the truth.
He looked at her and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to know?"
Queeny nodded.
"Okay, let me tell you."
So Felix told her what Stephan had said today.
Although Queeny had guessed that there was something behind her illness, she was still shocked when she heard what he said.
Felix said in a low voice, "According to him, you are a member of the Zaccardi family. And this kind of hereditary disease is very likely to be only within their family."
"As you said before, your mother has nothing to do with the Zaccardi family, so the only possibility should be your father. Do you still have any memory of your father?"
Queeny frowned and shook her head after thinking for a long time.
"No, I don't remember him at all. I even... I don't remember if he has ever appeared in my life."
Felix was not surprised to hear that.
Over the years, he grew up with Queeny and then lived in Lanceham with her. He had never heard about her biological father from her.
He touched her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Don't think of it if you can't remember."
