My Sweetheart

Chapter 236 He Would Rather She Didn’t Know It for the Rest of Her Life

Kathy was struck dumb, and her face immediately turned pale.

She was trying to understand what Maurice had said.

Thoughts that had never occurred to her before flashed through her mind, causing her to tremble all over.

That was impossible...

“It’s up to Kathy. I don’t know how to tell her about this.”

“If you don’t have the heart to tell her the truth, I’ll tell her.” Maurice held Angela’s hand.

Kathy had already frozen with shock. Joseph, who also heard the conversation, hugged her from behind and said softly, “How about I accompany you out for a while?”

Kathy shook her head and pushed open the ward’s door.

Angela and Maurice looked at her at the same time.

Kathy walked in step by step. When looking at Angela, she wore a cold expression.

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Her voice trembled slightly.

Angela revealed a sorrowful look, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks.

Maurice gently patted her shoulder and stood up. “Kathy, did you hear our conversation?”

“Yes.”

“Maurice, please go out first.”

Not long after, there were only Kathy and Angela in the ward.

“Mom ... No ... Who is my biological mom?” Actually, Kathy heard the truth just now.

However, she thought it was unbelievable.

Jennifer?

She was Billy’s mother.

She remembered that when Jennifer was in critical condition, she had saved her because they had the same blood type.

Later, Jennifer was nice to her, and she also seemed to have a strange affinity for Jennifer.

“It’s Mrs. Hilton. Kathy, I’m sorry,” Angela said with a sigh.

She had thought of telling Kathy the truth countless times, but she didn’t have the heart to say it.

She didn’t want to lose Kathy, nor did she want to deceive her.

“Mom … My mom is you, right?” Kathy held Angela’s hand and kept shaking her head.

She did not believe that the woman who had raised her since childhood was not even her relative.

Her voice was choking with despair, and she looked distressed.

“Since you know the truth, I will ask Jennifer to pick you up. Since I am leaving City N, I can rest assured if you go back to her.”

“No! You’re my mom!” Kathy said angrily. She could not accept the fact.

Her family had never been a rich one, but she was satisfied with such a simple and happy life. Her happiest thing was to enjoy Angela’s company.

Could it be that all of this was fake?

“Did she abandon me?” After calming down, Kathy asked with a trembling voice.

“Jennifer will tell you the exact reason. Kathy, you will always be my daughter…” Angela couldn’t help but cry. After all, she raised her up from childhood. Kathy should have returned to Jennifer long ago. However, because of her selfishness, she cheated Kathy for so long.

“You are my mother. This is a fact that will never change,” Kathy said in a low voice.

After leaving the ward, she leaned against the wall. She felt cold all over, which made her uncomfortable.

She was so dizzy that she couldn’t hold on anymore. Then she fainted.

Joseph supported her and picked her up.

In the evening, Kathy woke up in Joseph’s embrace and saw the familiar bedroom. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

His handsome face was so close that she could see his worried expression.

“I...”

Why was she back home?

Wasn’t she in the hospital?

Angela’s words seemed to still ring in her ears. She gradually curled up and her body was trembling slightly.

“Where’s my mother?” she asked.

“She hasn’t been discharged yet. She will leave City N tomorrow,” Joseph said calmly.

This was what Angela asked him to tell Kathy.

Kathy became panicked and she immediately got out of bed.

Joseph held her in his arms and said, “You haven’t eaten all day. Go eat first.”

“I want to go to the hospital,” Kathy said angrily.

“After dinner, I’ll take you to the hospital,” Joseph said with a stern face.

Kathy could hardly refuse him, so she went downstairs to the dining room.

However, she didn’t have any appetite at all.

“Joseph, can you help me find out about this whole thing?” After a while, Kathy looked up at him.

He frowned and his face darkened.

Something flashed through Kathy’s mind. She asked nervously, “Did you already know it?”

Joseph did not say anything. In Kathy’s view, he had admitted it.

She put down her chopsticks and suddenly smiled. It turned out that only she did not know the truth.

“When did you know it?”

“Half a month ago.”

Joseph handed her a document.

Kathy saw the investigation results of her background. After Jennifer gave birth to her, she handed her over to Angela.

Although the people who had worked in that hospital were no longer in City N, Joseph still found out some details.

However, the exact reason was unknown.

He couldn’t find out anything about Jennifer.

After she married into the Hilton family, her husband passed away at a young age. Later, when Billy was in charge of family affairs, Jennifer kept a lower profile.

Why did Jennifer entrust her to Angela?

“What time is mom’s plane tomorrow?”

“Nine o’clock.”

“Then I’ll send her off. I won’t come to her house tonight,” Kathy said wearily.

Mother should have her own reason to be in such a hurry to leave, and she also needed time to digest the truth.

“I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow.”

“No need. Your work at Joseph’s Group is so busy. I can go there myself.” Kathy pushed him away.

However, Joseph held her more tightly. He did not allow her to break free from his embrace.

“Kathy, I will be worried about if you go there alone.” Frowning, he said in a cold voice.

“I’m fine. Don’t delay your work because of me anymore.” Kathy leaned against his embrace.

During this period of time, she had troubled him too much.

“Work is not as important as you.” Joseph’s face turned cold.

Her resistance made him very unhappy.

“I’m going to review.”

Kathy pushed him away and turned around to go upstairs.

Joseph could feel her displeasure.

He knew she was annoyed, because he didn’t tell her the truth after knowing her background.

However, he would rather she didn’t know it for the rest of her life.

Anxiety nagged at him. Sitting on the sofa agitatedly, he wanted to smoke, but he knew Kathy did not like the smell of smoke. So he put the cigarette out.

That night, Joseph did not go back to his bedroom, and Kathy could not fall asleep without his company. She had no choice but to go to the study.

Joseph was looking at the document. Under her intense gaze, he looked up.

Their eyes met.

She walked in and said in a sweet voice, “I can’t fall asleep.”

“I’ll go to the bedroom and stay with you.” Joseph closed the document.

Kathy stopped him. “Why did you suddenly investigate my background?”

“Your blood type is very special. There are no more than ten people with the exact same blood type as you in City N. And Jennifer is one of them. At that time, I began to suspect your relationship with her.”

Kathy frowned. She had never thought about it.

How could she have suspected that Angela was not her biological mother?

However, Joseph could easily notice these details.

“I still don’t know if I should look for her.”

He knew that she was referring to Jennifer.

Joseph hugged her and said in a low voice, “Just take you time and think it over. If you don’t want to, no one can force you.”
