Natalia nodded.
She could tell that Mr. Kawn meant well.
No matter how he treated her before, at least he treated her much better after he found out she was actually the lost child of Yvonne.
But...
She looked grimmer when she thought about K's death.
"Archie, I don't care how complicated the Lafayette family is, I want to give it a try."
Archie knew what she was thinking.
Natalia had already told him everything about her past. So he could easily see what she was up to.
He held her closer.
"Fine, do it if you want to. Don't worry, I got you."
Natalia smiled.
"Good."
Mr. Kawn's condition was getting worse.
After announcing his will that night, he had fallen into a coma then.
The doctor said several of his vital organs had failed completely and he would have been dead had it not been for the high-tech treatment.
Natalia visited him once. He was lying there unconsciously, looking skinny and pale, as if he had withered overnight.
When she came out of his room, she bumped into Wilson.
He had not expected to see her here and he looked quite surprised.
Then he couldn't hold back his happiness."
"Lia, there you are."
Natalia nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Wilson, are you free now? I want to talk to you."
Wilson looked at the time and nodded.
"Okay, there's a cafe downstairs. Let's talk over there."
Natalia agreed.
So they left the hospital, went downstairs to the cafe and sat down by the window.
Wilson didn't know what Natalia wanted to talk to him about, but instead of pushing her, he waited for her to speak.
Natalia hesitated before asking, "I'd like to know more about Yvonne... About my mother."
Wilson was delighted to hear that she referred Yvonne as her mother.
They had been worried that Natalia wouldn't accept who she really was, but now it looked like they were being paranoid.
"Well, what do you want to know? I'll tell you."
Natalia thought for a while and asked, "What kind of person is she?"
Wilson's face lit up with a gentle smile.
"You two actually looked quite alike. All so gentle and beautiful. Cold on the outside and kind on the inside. She respected the elders and treated everyone nicely. She's a very talented woman. By the way, you might not know that she used to be a painter and had done a lot of paintings. She stopped when she fell ill."
Natalia nodded.
"We reserved many of her works in her room. You can come by when you're available and I'll show you."
Natalia was stunned and forced a smile.
