"Dad, there is no need to hide anything now. I have the right to know, and I also have the ability to judge right from wrong. I want to know the truth, and I want to know even more who I am," Gale said.
Peter's eyes gradually became moist.
"Gale, it's not that I'm hiding it from you on purpose. It's that all along... your mother and I hope to give you a good living environment so that you can be carefree and happy. It's a pity, the world is impermanent, and the death of Alex has directly brought our entire family into near-destruction."
"We are sorry for you. We failed to protect you and let you suffer so much with us. Whenever I think about it, I blame myself very much and feel ashamed of you."
"I thought your mother and I adopted you to change your fate and allow you to live a normal childhood life. Unexpectedly, it dragged you into hell."
The phrase 'adopted you' clearly stated the truth.
Gale was really adopted, not Peter and Wendy's biological daughter!
She stared blankly at Peter, watching the mouth open and close.
"Why me? Didn't you and Mom plan to have a child of your own for so many years?" Gale asked.
"When your mother was young, she underwent an operation to remove her uterus, making her infertile, but she wanted a child very much. In order to satisfy her, we went through the adoption process and selected you in the orphanage."
Only then did Gale understand the truth hidden for more than twenty years.
She was not her.
She was someone else.
For so many years, she had lived so confusedly!
She did not even know who she was!
