Chapter 206

Autor: Chronos
When Alfred and Cassandra returned home, Joan had been waiting in the living room for some time. She sat squarely in the center of the sofa, arms crossed, and at the sound of the door opening, she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. A cold snort escaped her nose.

"Recognizing a goddaughter… and it's Adriana. You really outdid yourselves."

Her gaze swept over her parents' awkward expressions, fueling her fury.

"If you despise your own daughter so much, why didn't you have a second child ba

    Dean stared at the report for a long time. Only then did he close the medical report and place it back into the bag, then return the bag to the cabinet as if nothing had happened.In the past, his heart had belonged entirely to Joan, and he had not been willing to have a child with Daisy.But now, Joan had become increasingly demanding, pushing him to divorce every time they met, and he was growing more and more irritated.Moreover, Edward had already been recognized by Chris as his son, making it unlikely that he could recognize Edward as his own.He was not as foolish as Chris—he would not risk his reputation for an illegitimate child.Now that Daisy was pregnant, Edward had become even more insignificant.Dean was overjoyed, though he showed nothing of it.Daisy had chosen to hide this from him—he did not know what she was planning. Either way, he needed to stabilize her first.That night, Daisy slept poorly, drifting in and out of restlessness. It was already past six, and

    "By the way, Daisy, when are you planning to tell Dean?" Adriana asked."After I finish the full prenatal checkup and confirm the baby is healthy," Daisy replied.She was worried that the medication she had taken might have affected the child, and she could not fully put her mind at ease."I'll help you book it. I'll ask Alex to arrange the best doctor for you," Adriana said, already sending a message to Alex to make the request.He replied quickly, saying he would take care of everything."Daisy, let's go to the hospital again tomorrow. The company just gave me half a month off anyway.""You're troubling yourself for me," Daisy said softly. "Even using your rest time like this."She saw clearly how much care Adriana gave her—running around for her every day, trying to lift her spirits. If Adriana treated her this way, then surely, she had once done the same for Chris as well.And yet, even with all that effort, Chris had still let her down."We're family. Why say things like

    Back at the lab, Adriana shared her discovery with Oliver."Do you think Dean might be keeping a mistress?" she asked.Oliver's brows tightened. "It's possible. Aunt Daisy said Dean hasn't been coming home much lately."Adriana fell into thought. If that was true, then Daisy's recent emotional decline made sense.But even if they knew the truth, if Daisy refused to leave Dean, there was nothing they could do."Let her decide for herself," she said.She was not Daisy. She could never truly understand her.Just as when Joan appeared, Adriana had still chosen to stay by Chris's side—no one had been able to understand that decision either.Everyone had their own path to walk; outsiders could only do so much.The only thing Adriana could do was try to spend time with Daisy whenever she could.Unfortunately, as the 001 project progressed, the workload at the lab became increasingly complex and demanding. She was still considered a semi-beginner and had to spend additional time stud

    Daisy felt the warmth of the sunlight on her body and said to the servants, "I want to sit out in the sun. Bring the tea and fruit snacks to the garden."She and Adriana sat down at the stone table in the garden. The servants soon brought out tea, pastries, and fruit. After exchanging a few casual remarks about the weather and the chrysanthemums, Adriana asked, "Daisy, you don't seem to have much energy. Are you feeling any better today?""I'm always like this. I'm fine," Daisy replied, resting her head on her hand as she took a small sip of tea.Adriana bit her lower lip, then gathered her courage. "What about the baby? Do you want it?"At her question, Daisy did not look surprised at all."I knew you'd find a way to ask. I knew I couldn't hide it from you," she said.Adriana reached out and held her hand. It was ice-cold."Don't be upset, Daisy. I'm just worried about you.""I'm not upset. It's fine that you know. I just didn't know how to bring something like this up myself,

    Adriana walked to the bedside and said softly, "Daisy, get up and have something to eat.""Adriana, when did you get here?"Daisy looked at her blankly, as if she had just drifted back from another world. The servants had said she had been out of it lately—no matter what anyone said, it often took several repetitions before she would respond."I just got here. I wanted to have breakfast with you. Can I open the curtains?" Adriana asked.Daisy nodded and pushed herself up with both hands.Adriana drew the curtains open. Morning light poured into the bedroom, dispersing the heavy gloom. On the bedside table sat a bottle of medication. She recognized it—it was for insomnia.When she first married Chris, she had gone through nights of sleeplessness herself. The doctor had prescribed her the very same medication. But it was habit-forming if taken too long. Only later, when she gradually accepted reality, did her insomnia truly improve from the root.Daisy slowly got dressed. She look

    Bella's wedding was the first true moment of happiness Adriana had ever witnessed in her life—and it was something worth remembering."I want to try the blue one."Bella chose a blue wedding gown. Half an hour later, she stepped out of the fitting room and ran straight in front of Adriana's camera, spinning once in place.They stayed in the boutique until deep into the night. Only when Bella was completely exhausted did she finally leave, reluctant to part.After careful selection, she ultimately returned to the very first gown she had fallen in love with—the pink one.She liked pink. And she liked diamonds. That was enough.The bridal shop belonged to her mother's company. For her sake, the store had refused all other customers that day.Before leaving, Bella gave each staff member an envelope worth a thousand dollars."Thanks for your hard work today. Take this as a bit of good luck from me. I'll have my mom add more to your performance bonus.""Thank you, Miss Moss!"The m

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of

    Chris looked at Joan. "Joanie, go home and take care of Edward. I'm fine now."Joan pursed her lips, scowled, and left without another word."You okay?" Adriana asked.Chris didn't answer, just reached out his hand.Adriana hesitated for a moment, then offered hers. He shook his head.After a b

    Adriana stepped forward with calm composure. "Dean, gentlemen, this really isn't such a big deal. I'm sorry you had to make the trip."Dean got straight to the point. "Where's Chris?""He's in his ward. The doctor has instructed that no one disturb him for now, and he doesn't wish to see anyone."

    Alex skimmed through the two articles in the newspaper, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash.If Chris saw the second article, he would only get angry all over again."And this Francesco… his remarks are completely inappropriate.""Achoo!"Francesco, lounging against the edg
