Half an hour later, Bella had been sent to the private hospital of the Grant Group with her scald bandaged. Then
she was taken into an VIP ward.
Meanwhile, Rupert had reached the hospital.
Outside the ward there stood both Sebastian and Joanna, who were staring at each other.
The air seemed to be frozen.
Joanna raised up her head with her eyes filled with tear. She didn’t seem to give in though writhing in grievance.
Apparently, she appeared the same as her father when it came to stubbornness.
“Joanna,” Rupert walked over to hold her up. Then he gently wiped off her tear, “There is a nice café nearby. Let’s
go to get some dessert, alright?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough she still remained silent, she actually leaned closer to Rupert.
She looked aggrieved and horrified.
After solacing her for a few more seconds, Rupert called a nurse over to take Joanna for some dessert.
Soon, there were only Sebastian and Rupert standing in the corridor.
“Take a look at these.” Sebastian passed him some files.
Rupert didn’t even take them. Then he replied, “I know what you are asking me for. Joanna is relapsing, right?”
Actually, he had noticed that when he held her up in his arms just now.
He could see her face turning red while her lips blue, which clearly indicated the symptom of a heart disease.
Sebastian nodded, “Yes, the same as before.”
When Sebastian heard Bella screaming outside the study at that time, he rushed out and happened to see her
being stained with corn soup all over.
He took both Bella and Joanna to the hospital. Then he had Joanna thoroughly checked to see if she scalded herself.
Though there was no scald noticed on her body, the doctor told him that there seemed to be something wrong with
her heart.
Then the CT scanning reported that the same symptom appeared once again.
“But you said she had recovered.” Sebastian frowned to ask.
Contemplating, Rupert said, “I know. And you have seen the report, right? It told that she did recover. But I have
never expected her to relapse so soon.”
With his lips pressed, Sebastian felt a pang of heartache.
After he had lost his son, his only remaining daughter failed being set free from the suffering of disease once again.

“The prescription always remains the same. I don’t think it has anything to do with the prescription.” Rupert
shrugged.
“So what could be the reason?” Sebastian asked after a short pause.
Suddenly, a shocking idea popped out in Rupert’s mind, “I wonder if it was another girl instead of Joanna herself.”
There might be another girl who looked exactly the same as Joanna with a healthy body, Rupert supposed.
And it was that girl who was thoroughly checked at that time.
But this time, Joanna returned for the check.
That might make sense.
After all, that energetic little girl who looked alike Joanna appeared totally different from Joanna herself in the
aspect of personality.
At the thought of that, Rupert asked wryly, “So, you have actually kept another daughter that none of us knew.”
“Impossible.” Sebastian denied, “I have never slept with any other women except for that one.”
“Fine. But we can still find out the truth within ten minutes.” Rupert answered with a finger snap.
