Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Chapter 138 The Ring Disappeared

Perhaps because of the anesthesia, Gabriel’s thoughts were still scattered.

After revealing that secret, he immediately drifted to another topic, his words becoming slurred and incoherent.

Rose, however, sat frozen.

Unable to react.

She wasn’t a Bennett?

She wasn’t even her mother’s biological daughter?

The revelation hit her like a thunderbolt.

For twenty-seven years, her entire sense of identity had been built on that foundation.

Now, in a single moment, everything seemed to crumble.

Ryan had clearly heard it as well.

Without meaning to, he had just uncovered a long-buried Bennett family secret.

His gaze lingered on Rose for a long moment.

A dark, thoughtful look flashed through his eyes.

When he noticed her shoulders stiffening and her posture becoming rigid, he walked over, gently pulled her upright, and guided her back into her chair.

"Let’s wait until Grandpa is more lucid before discussing this."

Rose’s mind was in complete chaos.

Part of her desperately wanted answers.

Another part resisted them with everything she had.

The person who loved her most in the world—

Could he really not be related to her by blood?

Yet the more she thought about it, the more things started to make sense.

No wonder.

No wonder Logan could abandon her without hesitation.

No wonder he never seemed to care whether she lived or died.

How could a father be so cruel to his own daughter?

Unless...

He wasn’t her father at all.

Across the room, Ryan noticed Rose unconsciously picking at his watch again.

The diamond on the bezel looked as though it might be pried loose at any moment.

He glanced at it once, then looked away, completely unconcerned.

Rose eventually forced herself to calm down.

Looking up, she said quietly, "I can handle things here. You should go take care of your own business."

Ryan had arranged a private jet and rushed her back to New York.

He had already done more than enough.

But halfway through speaking, Rose stopped.

At some point, Ryan had leaned back against the sofa and fallen asleep.

She glanced at the time.

It was nearly two in the morning.

After a moment’s hesitation, she decided not to wake him.

That night, she curled up on the sofa but barely slept.

Her dreams were filled with Gabriel’s words.

You’re not your mother’s biological daughter.

Again and again.

The revelation left her feeling as though the ground beneath her feet had vanished.

As if everything familiar had suddenly disappeared.

She clung tightly to a pillow, desperately seeking some sense of security.

The next morning, doctors and nurses arrived for their routine rounds.

Ryan was already gone.

But Rose realized she was still holding his watch.

Looking down, she froze.

Two tiny diamonds had actually been loosened.

"Ms. Bennett."

The attending physician stepped forward with a reassuring smile.

"The patient is doing very well. There’s nothing to worry about."

Rose rubbed her temples. "All right. I’ll stay and take care of him."

The doctor shook his head. "That won’t be necessary. The hospital has already arranged a twenty-four-hour caregiver."

Rose blinked. "The hospital arranged one?"

"For free?"

The doctor smiled. "Your husband has already taken care of all the expenses."

As he spoke, he handed her several forms.

Most required a family member’s signature.

Ryan had already signed every one of them.

Under the relationship field, he had listed himself as: Grandson-in-law.

"..."

Rose stared at the paperwork.

Ryan had never been stingy.

In fact, he was remarkably considerate.

The problem was that his thoughtfulness had never belonged exclusively to her.
