Chapter 144
Brielle feared that if Mark kept letting his emotions get the better of him, he might just
work himself into a frenzy. “Mark, I’m fine, really. Spencer and I might be engaged, but it’ll
probably be called off soon. I don’t like him, so it’s not like I’m heartbroken.”
“Sweetheart, do you think I don’t know you? When you insisted on taking Lillian with you,
it was because you cared too deeply. What Lillian did was like stabbing you in the heart.
How could you not be hurt? Now, I almost wish you weren’t a Haywood, so you wouldn’t
have to put up with their nonsense.”
Brielle fell silent, knowing that a person’s heart can only hold so much disappointment.
She was like a sponge that had soaked up all the water it could; even if an ocean swept
over it, not another drop could be absorbed. The process of soaking it all up had been
painful, but now she was numb.
Outside the orphanage, another person arrived. It was Cameron. The atmosphere turned
even more awkward. With the Haywood family scandal, he couldn’t keep playing possum
and had to come, albeit reluctantly.
Cameron’s face was grim, and he deliberately avoided looking at Lillian. Heaven knows
how devastated he felt seeing that video. He’d always seen Lillian as someone to walk
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthrough life with, and she had never outright rejected him, but then she had a fling with
Spencer.
Cameron felt queasy, yet he couldn’t suppress the flicker of affection he still felt for her, so
he’d been deliberately avoiding the issue. When he got the news, he still couldn’t help
coming here. He was still worried about her. Years of affection weren’t shattered by just
one video.
Lillian’s heart was a mess. She deliberately avoided Spencer and gave Cameron a pitiful
look. Though Cameron was angry, he couldn’t help but feel a tug at his heartstrings.
With just a look, Lillian managed to soothe him slightly, but deep down, she was scornful.
Once the results came out, these people would be groveling at her feet. She looked up at
the closed doors, sneering inside.
Miranda, unable to stand the tension, asked Robert, “If they’re redoing the DNA test for
you and Lillian, why didn’t they take anything from you just now?” Shouldn’t they have
taken a strand of Robert’s hair as well?
It occurred to Robert that perhaps the doctor hadn’t needed his samples, maybe because
the hospital already had his records from years ago. Reassured, he looked at Lillian with
pride.
However, this was something Cameron couldn’t accept. “Mom, do you really think Lillian is
one of the Haywoods?”

Just the thought of Lillian possibly being his sister made Cameron recoil. He remembered
the sight of them kissing on the couch, and how awkward future meetings would be if their
roles were changed.
Cameron’s scalp tingled as he avoided Lillian’s gaze.

Chapter 144
Not only Cameron, but even Lillian felt uncomfortable. Then she thought, she wasn’t really
a Haywood daughter, she was just deceiving these people for now. Otherwise, they would
be pointing and shouting at her.
Cameron was still visibly struggling to accept this, “When will the results be out?”
Miranda quickly tried to calm him, “Cameron, don’t worry. If Lillian turns out to be one of
us, it’s the same as if she married you. We’d all be family.”
Miranda thought that since Lillian had been with Spencer, she was clear of any ties with
her own son. Little did she know that Lillian was adept at playing both sides.
Cameron’s cheeks burned with humiliation, and he clenched his teeth in anger, “That’s
not the same at all! I’d rather Brielle be my sister!”
As his words hung in the air, the sound of a car engine approached. Everyone tensed up,
their gazes instinctively turning towards the sound. It was the doctor’s car returning.
Lillian felt her heart in a vice, her breathing quickened.
Her cheeks flushed with excitement, her palms sweaty. It seemed that she might indeed
be a rich girl.
