Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3318

Audrey called Patrick “Uncle True”, so her sister Lisa followed suit. They were the only ones who called him that, and every time, he would respond with a smile. In Audrey’s blurry memories, her parents and Uncle True were always very busy and her mother was not in good health, so she often delegated to Belinda.

Now that Audrey thought about it, it was likely Belinda’s desire to seize power arose from Tiara’s bad health and constant need for Belinda’s help in managing the company and family matters. Belinda must have felt indignant that despite doing so much for them, everyone was still in favor of Tiara, so Belinda wanted to take Tiara’s place, thinking that only by becoming the matriarch would everyone favor her completely.

When Audrey called Patrick “Uncle True”, he responded with a tearful exclamation. Neither had a strong impression of the other anymore, but Audrey had taken very good care of herself and looked like both her parents. When Patrick looked at her, he felt like he could see Tiara and her husband.

With Silver’s repeated confirmations as well as Dr. Carden and Suzy’s affirmations, Patrick learned long ago that Mrs. Stone was indeed Tiara’s eldest daughter, Audrey, while Lisa had passed away in a car accident more than ten years ago. Luckily, she left behind two daughters, and Audrey herself now had children and grandchildren too. Tiara’s line would continue.

Patrick was so excited that he took Audrey’s hand and opened his mouth to speak several times but could not get any words out. It was like his throat had been blocked, while tears kept streaming down his face. Perhaps due to overexcitement, old age, and also ill health, Patrick’s world went black and he fainted.

“Uncle True!” Audrey supported Patrick’s limp body, pale with shock as she yelled, “Clive, quick! Call 911!”

“There’s no need to send him to the hospital. Old Pat’s just too excited and had too many fluctuations in his emotions. He’s the oldest of us all and can’t take that kind of stress.”
