Chapter 413
The moment Leo rushed into the blood collection room, Lydia was on the verge of collapse, her face pale. If Leo hadn’t been fast enough and taken her in his arm in time, she would have fallen on the floor.
"Lydia!" Leo was devastated to see Lydia glassy-eyed.
"Leo… Leo… Hold me…" Lydia came to her senses upon hearing Leo’s voice. She clutched Leo’s shirt, as if her life depended on it, her breath shallow, as if she was suffocating.
Leo watched this scene, distraught. He realized that the director must have told her what he hadn’t dared to tell her all the time.
The truth would eventually come out in the end. Instead of setting Lydia free, it broke her down, and it had altered her perception of reality.
"What’s going on?" Dumbfounded, Caroline stared blankly at Lydia, who was breaking down.
The director turned to Caroline and said slowly, "You father actually has another daughter, and it’s Miss Henderson."
"What?" Caroline was astonished to learn the news.
Meanwhile, Rebecca, who rushed in a moment later, was also stunned to watch this scene. She realized that the secret kept by the Ford family for over 20 years, was finally disclosed.
"Shut up, everyone!" Leo suddenly roared and glared at everyone. "Just let it alone and don’t talk about it again!"
Everyone on the scene was startled. The next moment, the director took all the others away.
After a long pause, Caroline finally came to her senses and looked around at Rebecca. "Is that true, mom?"
Rebecca hemmed and hawed, not daring to speak. However, under Caroline’s piercing gaze, she gave a slight nod at last.
"Mom, why wouldn’t you tell me the truth until now?" Caroline was filled with both anger and confusion. She wondered why things would turn out like this.
"What on earth happened?" Caroline growled. It was hard, even for her, to accept the truth. She had always considered herself the only daughter in the family, but now it turned out she had an elder sister.
And that person was Lydia.
Rebecca, however, actually felt relieved since the secret was revealed, but she got annoyed with Caroline about the question.
"Ask your dad!" Hardly had Rebecca finished her words than she stormed off the hospital.
In the meantime, something was reflecting light faintly at the top of the opposite building.
On the rooftop, someone was watching closely what was happening in the hospital through the telescope. He burst into
laughter at the sight of the devastated Lydia collapsing in Leo’s arms, as if he was watching some hilarious comedy.
“That's what I thought. What a priceless secret!" He muttered to himself as he guffawed.
"TI don't think the Henderson family knows this secret. If word gets out, will they give up on Lydia, or play dumb?"
The man took out his phone and made a call to report to his boss.
“Miss Lawson, you’re a real prophet. As you expected, Lydia’s freaked out after she learned the truth!"
“OK," Kate said flatly on the phone. "Now take the next step!"
The man sneered as he hung up the phone.
“He’s nothing but a loser living off his wife. How dare he call himself ‘King of Emerdale’! He’s overestimated..."
Soon, the man disappeared into the darkness.
Leo held Lydia tight, trying to calm her down with his warm body. However, not only didn’t she calm down, but she became
more and more agitated.
