Chapter 412
Caroline’s mind went blank as Medical saint finished his words. The next moment, she started to tremble slightly.
Meanwhile, Rebecca also got nervous and threw a glance at Lydia from time to time. She knew she was getting closer to the truth.
Caroline recovered herself and grabbed Medical saint’s hands, asking emotionally, "You must be mistaken. I’m his daughter! How come I’m not the close relative he misses the most?"
Medical saint replied calmly, "Caroline, I’m afraid you took me wrong. I told you, he must be woken up by the close relative he misses the most. You’re only his close relative. You’ve been living with him for years and he’s used to your company, so naturally, you aren’t the one he misses the most."
Caroline collapsed on the sofa, devastated. For a moment, she was unable to speak a word.
"It is absolutely imperative that we find out the one he misses the most and find that person!" Medical saint said in a low voice.
However, he got no response at all.
Some weren’t aware of the one William missed the most, while others were, but they wouldn’t speak it up.
At the same time, Leo’s mind was also in a turmoil, because what was happening was enough to challenge his view of life.
Rat-a-tat…
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. After that, the director of the hospital came in with a stern face followed by a group of specialists.
"Who’s William’s daughter?"
"I am." Caroline rose to her feet at once.
"Please come with us."
Caroline hesitated for a moment before she followed them out.
Leo, Rebecca and the others also looked out of the door, eager to know what was going on, only to see them taking Caroline to the blood collection room. The director pointed at her and asked the nurse who had been on duty the day William was admitted to the hospital, "Was it her?"
The nurse looked closely at Caroline and shook her head. "No, it was another woman."
The director said apologetically to Caroline, "I’m sorry. You’re not the one we want."
Confused, Caroline didn’t know what they were doing at all.
Then, the director and the specialists took the nurse to William’s ward and asked her to identify the blood donor personally.
"It was her!" The nurse spotted Lydia at a glance, pointed at her and said with absolute certainty.
“Me?" Lydia was puzzled, while Leo tightened his grip on her hand.
As the old saying goes, what will be will be. In fact, Leo would long have guessed that. The first time he had learned that
William had another daughter was when William was once drunk. He couldn’t forget his deceased ex-wife, as well as his
missing daughter.
The second time was when they visited Summer Hudson, who had survived the bomb explosion, after the wedding. At that
time, William was surprised to see the jade pendant Lydia was wearing, while Leo was even more certain that Lydia was
William’s eldest daughter.
Later, Leo and Lydia were officially together, but apparently, William didn’t treat her as his daughter-in-law, but his biological
daughter.
The director said solemnly and slowly, "Blood type test!"
All the color drained from Lydia's face when she heard what the director said. She looked up at him with a forced smile after a
long pause. "And?"
The director said nothing but waved at someone. One of the specialists came up to them with a thin glass plate. The director
dripped a drop of blood on it and suddenly, the drop of blood diffused rapidly.
“This is Mr. Ford’s blood sample." Then, the director picked up another dropper and said to Lydia, "This is yours." After that, the
director dripped a drop of Lydia’s blood on the glass plate.
The next moment, time seemed to stop, and the room went quiet. Lydia felt as if she was sitting alone in the vast universe,
surrounded by darkness, her eyes fixed on the glass plate in front of her.
The two drips of blood pulled each other and finally melted into one, their red blood cells sticking together visibly.
Lydia paled at the sight of this scene. She jerked the chair out from under her and rose to her feet in a panic.
“No, this can’t be happening... That’s not my blood!" Lydia shouted hysterically, about to collapse.
“That’s exactly your blood!" the director growled, his voice booming out above hers. "I don’t know anything about your origin, but the result doesn’t lie! You’re Mr. Ford’s biological daughter!"
“No! I don’t believe it!" Lydia pulled her hair, having an emotional breakdown.
The blood collection room was soundproof, so no matter how loudly Lydia was shouting, Leo, Caroline and the others out of the room were unable to hear what she was screaming exactly. All they knew was that Lydia was suffering a meltdown.
“Lydia!" Leo was worried to see Lydia behaving like this, so he rushed into the biood collection room and took her in his arms.
