Margot felt somewhat glad and hurried to get down from the bed.She was planning to leave, but she was thirsty and hungry. As such, she instinctively looked for food once she got out of the room. Margot saw a bottle of water on the chair in the living room. She walked over to pick it up and drank it. She managed to finish the entire bottle in a go.She placed the bottle down and was about to start looking for food. However, her attention was immediately caught by a pile of photos on the chair. She bent down to pick a photo up and looked at it in surprise.At that moment, Calvin's icy voice sounded from nearby."What are you doing? Put it down!"Margot was surprised, but she did not place the photo down.That was because the person in it looked exactly like her when she was aged three to five. They looked so similar that even she couldn't tell if it was her or someone else."Who gave you permission to touch it?"Calvin walked over and snatched the photo away from Margot.He g
Margot suddenly had a bad feeling when she saw Calvin's reaction.She insisted on asking, "You tell me first, who are you to her, and why are you looking for her?"Calvin realized that he was acting out of line. He let Margot go and tried his best to calm himself down.After keeping his emotions in check, he slowly replied, "She's my biological younger sister."Margot was speechless. Her eyes widened as she looked at Calvin in shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe that the girl in the photo was the biological daughter of the Morris family.She tried her best to calm down as she vehemently denied the fact.After a while, she asked again, "Don't you already have a sister? How could the person in that photo be your biological sister?"Wasn't Zyla his sister? She was around Margot's age, too. That was why the person in the photo couldn't be his sister. He was mistaken."Where exactly have you seen her before?" Calvin couldn't be bothered to explain everything to her.He asked
As long as Margot could prove she was related to the Morris family, they would return Lilac to her, right?After a long while, she returned from the washroom and sat behind Calvin. She then plucked some of Calvin's hair while he was asleep and hid them away.Calvin felt something on his head, but he only opened his eyes to look at Margot before he continued to rest.…The duo walked out of the plane once they landed in Amberville. Calvin then handed Margot a wad of cash and a face mask.Margot looked at him, confused.Calvin explained indifferently, "You have neither money nor a phone on you. How would you survive here alone?"Take them and remember what I've said. Don't ever come back to Emeria, and don't contact Anthony anymore. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"Margot recalled that she would need money for the paternity test and to call for a cab. As such, she did not reject his offer and took the money."You can leave on your own," Calvin said before turning away t
Margot didn't want to worry Natalie.She lied, "It's nothing. I'll deal with it soon.""Does it have anything to do with Curtis?"Natalie was afraid that Curtis was the one behind it. She had told him many things back when she had returned to Amberville. She hoped he wasn't doing anything to hurt Margot again.Margot denied. "It's got nothing to do with him. It's my personal matter.""Did Curtis contact you in the past few days, then?" Natalie asked again.She recalled Curtis had told her he wanted to explain everything to Margot, but he couldn't reach her for days.Margot replied, "He didn't. Why would he contact me when he's injured?"Natalie spoke seriously, "Perhaps he couldn't reach you as well. Don't worry, his injury isn't life-threatening."But I've gone to find him previously, Margot. He told me about what happened between the two of you back then. It seemed like you misunderstood him."Margot felt really tired now. She leaned against the bedside and quietly listened
Curtis was speechless.Margot wanted him to help her get her daughter back? From who? Himself?Why did he feel like they weren't on the same page?Curtis wasn't bothered about it anyway. He started putting on airs again as he said, "Come find me at the hospital if you want to see your daughter."Margot rejected him without thinking and replied, "Never mind, I'll just do it on my own. I'll hang up now."She ended the call without hesitation. Upon thinking that she was most likely a part of the Morris family, she could get Lilac back after getting the paternity test result. She wouldn't need Curtis' help by then.If Curtis were to know that Lilac was his, wouldn't he fight to have her?Even though he did not cheat on Margot back then and did not make Wendy pregnant, they could no longer return to how they were before.She couldn't pretend nothing had happened and go back to him as if everything was normal.…In the hospital ward, Curtis was beyond angry when his call was cut.
Despite Margot's disbelief that Lilac was with Curtis, she still rushed to the hospital.It was 10:00 pm when she arrived at the hospital. After locating Curtis' hospital ward, she froze in front of the door with her face mask still on. She couldn't find the courage to take a step further.Curtis kept staring at his phone on the hospital bed.Margot was still nowhere to be seen as time passed. He couldn't help but send another video of Lilac to her.When Margot received the video from Curtis, she gathered her courage to open the door and walked in.She stood by the hospital bed and looked at Curtis.She anxiously asked, "Where's Lilac?"Curtis was still staring at his phone. He looked up slowly upon hearing her voice. His gaze was locked on the newcomer as he watched her carefully.It was indeed Margot whom he knew. However, he couldn't understand something. Why did she have a face mask on?Curtis' expression darkened as he spoke in an indifferent tone, "Why aren't you showing
Margot's voice was low as she wiped away her tears. She didn't expect Lilac to be with Curtis.She no longer had to compromise and go to the Morris residence.Even if she got the DNA report and confirmed that she was their daughter, she no longer needed to associate herself with the Morris family anymore."Take off your face mask," Curtis ordered with a darkened expression.She had been talking to him while having her face mask on. Was she hiding something? It made him displeased that she didn't want him to see her face.Margot refused to do so and said, "Why are you insisting on that? I'm not an imposter. Tell me what I should do so you'll let me meet my daughter!""I asked you to take off your face mask," Curtis said impatiently.Margot asked him, "Would you let me meet my daughter if I take it off?"Curtis remained quiet as he looked at her coldly.Margot lowered her head and averted her gaze before she slowly removed her face mask.Curtis frowned when he saw the layer of
Margot knew that Curtis wouldn't hurt Lilac. Lilac was an obedient and loveable girl, after all.However, it would take years for her to wait for his leg to heal.She stood by the side, for once at a loss for words.Curtis no longer looked at her. He pressed the call button to summon his doctor.The doctor rushed over while trembling in fear. He noticed there was someone else in the hospital ward, but he dared not look at them a second longer.He asked Curtis, "Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Crosby?""No. Check the injury on her face," Curtis coldly instructed.Margot's expression fell. She wanted to reject the offer when she saw Curtis' cold gaze. She could only remain quiet.The doctor quickly looked at Margot and said, "Come sit here and let me have a look."Margot walked over to sit on the couch obediently before taking off her face mask.The doctor asked the nurse to prepare some medicines for him. He then carefully peeled off the gauze from Margot's cheek.Curtis' chest t
