The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison) novel Chapter 159

“Mom, speak it up.” 

Chapter 159 

Don’t fight with Penelope, okay? She’s spoiled rotten by Leah, but she’s got a good heart. Remember when she shared her favorite dessert with you when you were kids?” 

Allison was a bit stumped. She didn’t understand why Grace was telling her all this. She just chalked it up to Grace’s good nature. Grace was always like 

this

“I got it, Mom. You should rest now.” 

Grace closed her eyes. Allison sat by her bedside, watching the lines on the monitor, hoping to stay by her side forever

Her mom had just undergone a kidney transplant. She was doing fine just a week ago, but now her condition had worsened

This had to be Leah’s doing

She tried her best to avoid conflict and to put up with Leah’s bullying. Even when she was pushed to the edge, Leah still didn’t let her or her mom off the 

hook

Even though her mom’s breathing was getting weaker, she was still stable with the help of the ventilator. Allison stayed in the hospital room for a while longer before leaving

When she got home, she found a tin box in the closet, just like Grace had said. Inside was an agate necklace with a plain design

This? This could get Mr. Flanagan to help her

Allison carefully put it away and got ready to head out. She was going to find a guy named Adrian based on the address Grace had given her. Just as she stepped out of the house, her phone rang. It was a strange number. Hello?” 

Is this Ms. Zimmer?” 

Yes.” 

We’ve done a DNA test at our center. It shows that you two aren’t related.” 

What are you talking about?Allison could barely hold the phone steady. You must have made a mistake; that’s my mom’s hair and mine!” 

Ms. Zimmer, we didn’t make a mistake. You two aren’t related.” 

Allison’s ears were ringing

Sheshe wasn’t related to her mom? How could that be

Hearing the words over the phone, Allison felt weak

At the cemetery

Allison placed a bunch of lilies in front of the tombstone. She bent down to clear the weeds around the tombstone. Dad, do you think they made

mistake?” 

How could I not be your and Mom’s daughter?” 

It must beit must be a mistake by the testing center!!” 

But her genetic markers didn’t match Grace’s

Why?? Then who was her mother? Was Joshua Zimmer still her father

Suddenly, Allison felt lost

For several days in a row, Allison visited the cemetery daily, chatting with her father and brother. One morning, when Allison arrived, she saw a bunch of carnations on the tombstone
