Madelyn walked into the changing room. She then did a blood test, neural CT scan, and more. The check-up this time was much more comprehensive. Madelyn lay down on a bed while Kai sat by a machine.
She told him, "I've read the whole diary, except for the few pages that were torn off. So am | truly not Hayson's biological daughter?" "Yes!" Kai answered.

Madelyn turned to face him, her expression cold as the blood drawn from her left arm was taken to the lab for testing. They were the only people left in the room. Madelyn felt her emotions surge, and her head throbbed. She closed her eyes, not knowing how to process the truth that had just been revealed to her. She could not forgive Kai even though he had done it all for her mother.
Kai struggled immensely before saying, "Stay at the hospital for treatment. I'l do everything | can to cure you." However, her illness was incurable, and that was her inescapable fate.
"Could you tell me what kind of relationship you and my mother had? What happened between Fath— | mean Hayson and my mother?" Madelyn asked.
Kai took a deep breath before saying, "Hayson's the one who destroyed the Blinken and Wood families. My mother was close to the Wood family. When Erick Blinken was deployed to the border guard, he was murdered, and his body was never even recovered. After he died, Willowbrookshire was in chaos." He continued, "Hayson took the opportunity to bribe a group of people and used a portion of the Blinken family's forces to suppress every prominent family in Willowbrookshire. On the same night, an explosion occurred at the Blinken family residence, and none of the family members survived. He kidnapped Ms. Wood, and my mother along with the rest of the Hawk family were unable to escape their terrible fate in the end. If it wasn't for Ms. Wood who protected me, he would've killed me off too. All this time, | assumed that you were the bastard that Hayson and Ms. Wood made." ‘Bastard!?' Madelyn thought.
If she had not been born, Alicia would not have been tormented by Hayson, or be forced to survive through the pain. Death had been freedom for Alicia, and she had died at only 30 years old. The cause of death had been suicide, so Kai had blamed Alicia's death on Madelyn. In his eyes, it was all because of her, this "stain" that should not have survived.
All this while, Kai had always thought that Alicia had died during childbirth, committing suicide due to the humiliation. Only now did Kai understand that Madelyn and Hayson were not blood-related, and in fact Madelyn was actually the child of Alicia Wood and Erick Blinken.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the day Erick Blinken had been deployed, Alicia had been pregnant for over two months, and the child had miraculously survived in the end.
"After Ms. Wood gave birth to you, it was rumored that she had died during childbirth. Only | knew that it was because of a suicide. After Ms. Wood died, Hayson started tying up loose ends and sent people after me. He was the one who tossed me into the sea. | wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for Erick Blinken's officer," Kai said.
'So this is the truth behind everything? The man | called my father for over twenty years was the murderer who killed my entire family! No wonder Mom's diary never mentioned him. He's the one who caused all this tragedy. It was him all along!" Madelyn screamed internally.
Madelyn was so disoriented. Everything had happened because of a misunderstanding, turning her into a victim of this convoluted revenge plot.
"Why would | trust you?" Madelyn asked.
