Capítulo 141
“It's just like you suspected. Well, he is indeed sick. But it’s just a common disease in the elderly. He doesn’t need to be hospitalized from what | heard, but his attending doctor said that he insisted on it and there was nothing he could do.”
Chelsea nodded. “Okay, | see. Thank you so much.” Chris smiled and replied, “No need for that.”
Chelsea kept silent for a while and hesitated a bit as she said, “Umm, there’s actually one more thing | want to ask for your help with.”
“What is it?” asked Chris curiously.

“Since he’s already in hospital, | was hoping you could arrange a paternity test forand him.”
“Paternity test? Do you suspect that he is not your biological father?” Chris’ eyebrows shot up in surprise at the plot twist. Chelsea shook her head and replied, “No, not suspecting. I’m sure. | just need solid proof.”
She had never understood why Hilton and Garry didn’t treat her as part of the family, and hadn’t been close to her at all while she was growing up.
Their eyes had been full of disgust everytthey looked at her. Never once had there been a single ounce of love in them. Then she finally found out that she was not Hilton’s biological daughter and it all made sense. Even her deceased mother was not her real mother.
Her mother had told her everything before she died. That day, she said to Chelsea with difficulty, “I’m so sorry my darling. | can’t protect you anymore, but | have something important to tell you. A secret.”
“Mom, what do you mean? What secret?” Chelsea cried bitterly at that time, fully aware of what was happening.
“after my death, they will definitely plan to extort money from you they might even sell you. You don’t have to be polite to them, and you don’t have to listen to them because of family affection you hold. Don’t be afraid of them. Because you are not related to them in any way. Not by blood and certainly not by family bonds.”
That was when Chelsea got to know that she was actually the child of her mother’s friend back when she was young. The girl fell in love with aman, but she couldn't get married to him.
After she gave birth to Chelsea, she got severely depressed and passed away after entrusting the baby to someone else

But fortunately, her mother was gentle and kind. Even though she was not her real daughter, Chelsea had never felt it. Her mother raised her as her own.
As he heard that, Chris was stunned. He had never known what Chelsea’s background was like, and presumably Edmund didn’t know either.
Staring at her in confusion, Chris asked, “Since you already know what the result would be, why do you still want to do the paternity test?”
“Well, | just want to have proof for future purposes. If he ever pestersto give him money under the guise that I’m his biological daughter, I'll get him off my back by showing him the result,” Chelsea replied, smiling bitterly.
Chris nodded and commented, “That’s a good idea Lowering her eyes, Chelsea said dejectedly, “I’m fed up with their excesses. The money | gave them in the past is enough to repay them for raisingsince | was little. Besides, Edmund gave them a Lot of money while | was married to him. That's enough.”
For their sake, Chelsea had spent three of her youthful years in a toxic environment.
They failed to sit up while she was slaving away in the Nelson family household for them. They squandered all the money on useless things. She was done Living her life for them.
