When Frederic found out, he was uninterested.
"I'm not going," he declared. "If you want, you can meet with her."
He suddenly remembered and said to his wife, "You wanted to bring Jean and Kyra together before; you should take this opportunity to make it clear to her. Don't leave her in the dark with pointless thoughts."
Wrenn nodded and said, "I know."
They met at a cafe in the afternoon.
As soon as Kyra laid eyes on Wrenn, she became overly concerned and greeted her warmly.
"Aunt Wrenn, have you and uncle got used to staying here? I haven't seen you in a while, but from what I can tell, you've shed quite a few pounds. Are you worried about Jean? Have you seen him? Is he...better now?"
Wrenn took a sip of coffee and replied, "I'm fine. Everything is in order. Jean is doing well, and Neera is taking care of him. His condition is much better than it was when he was in Kingsview."
Kyra's expression stiffened.
"Didn't they already get a divorce?" She couldn't help but ask. "Are they reconciled now?"
Wrenn sighed. Her expression was helpless.
"The two had divorced, but their feelings for each other persisted. They get along well. I doubt they can be separated now that they have three children together."
Wrenn said this to quietly hint at Kyra to give up her son.
Kyra's heart sank violently.
She accepted this job in Essley because she was afraid Wrenn would turn against her.
Wrenn's answer suggested she would recognize the triplets.
She had to put on a good show even though she was squirming with resentment.
Kyra pretended to be ignorant and looked confused. She asked, "What do you mean? What do the children have to do with Jean? Why can't they be separated because of the children?"
Wrenn took advantage of the situation to tell the truth. She explained, "We just found out, the triplets are Jean's flesh and blood."
Kyra pretended to be surprised and fell silent for a long time.
Time passed indefinitely before she mumbled, "How can this be? This is...a coincidence, right?"
"Tell me about it!" sighed Wrenn. "When we found out, it took us a long time to accept it."
Kyra paused for a moment before asking, "Have they gotten a paternity test?"
"Jean had tested it," Wrenn revealed.
She brought the report with her on purpose to make Kyra give it up.
Kyra looked over the report.
A glint flashed through her eyes as she started to sow discord.
"It's Grace Hospital. I believe the director is Isabella Lopez, Neera's close friend."
As she spoke, she observed Wrenn's expression and carefully added fuel to the fire.
"I'm sorry to say it, but this test result could be fabricated. Isabella can do something to help Neera. Just to be on the safe side, we can change to another hospital and test again for you to be completely relieved. If it's true, then everyone is happy; if not, well, you wouldn't want to mistake someone else's kid for your own, would you?
She anticipated that Wrenn, being suspicious, would quickly agree with her.
Unexpectedly, she shook her head.
"Forget it. I proposed this before, but Jean refused. He's hell-bent on winning Neera back. He'd be upset if I did that."
Kyra kept at it and kept stirring things up.
"Then it's best to not tell Jean anything! The paternity test is simply meant to put your mind at ease; it's not a big deal. You need to find an opportunity to get in touch with the children."
Wrenn's expression changed when she heard her proposal. She looked at Kyra for a moment, but she didn't play along.
She refused, saying, "Let's talk about it later."
She changed the subject and inquired, "How long are you staying in Essley?"
Kyra, perplexed, replied, "A week."
"In this case, you should focus on your work and not worry about our affairs here," Wrenn said lightly. It would tire you out. I can't stay long; your uncle is waiting for me at the hotel, and I have to leave right away."
Kyra was disappointed that she was leaving so soon. Her heart sank further. Wrenn's attitude toward her had changed from before. This realization upset her.
On the surface, she remained obedient and adorable. She offered, "Let me send you back."
Wrenn felt bad toward Kyra and accepted her kindness.
