Chapter 238 Who Is My Mother

Jason looked at Shirley and then looked at Elsa again. "Elsa, you may leave first. I'll make it clear to you later."

Elsa nodded and said, "Okay, but I want to know who my mother is first."

"Jenna Zeng. Your mother's name is Jenna Zeng," Jason said in a low voice.

Shirley clenched her fists because of these two words. However, Elsa was even more shocked and surprised. The two words were like two hammers, pounding her heart hard, making her almost out of breath. Her mind was blurred, and she asked instinctively, "Jenna?"

"If it weren't for that bitch, who else could it be?" Shirley's voice was full of disdain and pain.

Like a drowning person, Elsa was surrounded by the overwhelming blurry, as if she had been thrown into a vacuum bottle, unable to breathe at all. Jenna Zeng, Jenna Zeng, Jenna... Her head ached, and the tip of her nose was full of burning and unpleasant smell.

Jenna, Jenna... The name hovered in Elsa's mind, and the painful shackles were slowly tightening on her. She felt that her mind was blank, as if there were too many things that she could not bear. The feeling of drowning became stronger and stronger, and the air around became thinner and thinner. She couldn't hear clearly what Jason and Shirley were talking about. She only felt dizzy and then knew nothing.

When Jason was about to ask Elsa to leave, he saw that she fainted. He hurriedly reached out and held her in his arms. Shirley gave him a disdainful look and said, "Jason, don't forget that Candice is still in the hospital!"

"Elsa? Elsa?" Regardless of anything else, Jason held Elsa and patted her on the cheek. Her face was deathly pale, and there was no trace of blood on her face. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she

breathed lightly.

Jason picked up the phone in a hurry and dialed Soren's number.

Soren was supposed to pick up Elsa, so when he heard that something had happened, he rushed over as soon as possible. He was surprised to see Elsa like this. When he sent her to the hospital, the doctor said that she was too emotional and would recover after she calmed down.

However, after taking the medicine and infusion, Elsa did not wake up after a long time. This matter was not trivial. After thinking it over, Soren called Johnson and Blanche.

Hearing this, the two old men turned pale and had no time to care about anything. They immediately booked the air tickets and said they would come. Soren had to let them come.

Standing at the door, Jason looked at the thin Elsa on the bed, unwilling to leave for a long time. All of a sudden, Elsa woke up from her dream. She was crying in a vague voice, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. Her hair was wet with sweat. Soren held her in his arms and said softly, "Elsa, it's okay, honey. It's okay. I'm here."

"Water... Give me some water. I'm so thirsty..." Elsa continued in a daze.

"There is water here. Come here. Drink it slowly. Take your time." Soren brought the prepared warm water to her mouth and put it aside after she drank several mouthfuls.

It was winter now. Even if the air conditioner was on, the room was not very hot. But Elsa seemed to be very hot and thirsty. She didn't feel better until she drank a lot of water. But she was in a bad mood. She was so thirsty that she kept drinking water, but she seemed to be so cold that she trembled and even her lips turned pale. There was no trace of blood.

Soren felt sorry for her. After coaxing her in a soft voice for a long time, Elsa closed her eyes again and fell asleep with a pale face. She didn't sleep well and was awakened by nightmares from time to time. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely, but she was not very conscious. Soren was so anxious that he couldn't do anything about it. After calling the doctor again, Jason suggested to use some medicine that could slightly relieve the nerves.

It was not until the medicine was infused this time that Elsa felt better and fell asleep a little more. She was no longer awakened by the constant nightmares.

Soren walked to Jason and said, "Uncle Jason, you can go back first."

"I want to wait until Elsa wakes up." As soon as Jason finished his words, his phone rang again. He took a look at it and answered it. "Yes, I will come back to see Candice soon."

It could be seen that the Qiao family was very dissatisfied with this matter. During this period of time, Candice and Yassin had a very bad relationship. Candice had just been found to be pregnant and lost her baby, which was not a good thing for the Qiao family. In addition, the news of Elsa's matter had been exposed, and the whole Qiao family was in a very turbulent time.

All the elders of the Qiao family didn't like the marriage between Candice and Yassin. They reluctantly agreed after seeing that she had been with Yassin for so many years. Yassin was a magician and didn't fit in with the whole family. Since he became famous, he had been impetuous. He had been thinking about how to become more famous or maintain his reputation all day long. After forced marriage, Candice didn't live happily with him, and she had quarreled with him for seven days in ten days.

Now that such a thing had happened, how could Jason not be angry? In fact, he also felt sorry for Candice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked someone to specially teach Yassin a lesson yesterday. But he hoped more that his daughter could learn from this matter, and also restrain her temper in the

future. Live a good life, so that he did not appear to pamper and spoil her. Shirley was used to spoil the two children. He wanted to be a strict father.

However, he was misunderstood by Shirley, which caused her to remind of the old story many years ago. He felt a little sad. Shirley loved her two children so much because she was too disappointed in her husband. After all, both of Elsa and Candice were born at the same time, which meant that Shirley, his real wife, was pregnant and he had an affair with another woman.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and opened them. His face looked much older than before. "I'll wait for Elsa to wake up."

Soren had no choice but to nod. After a long silence, he said, "Uncle Jason, can I know what happened?"

Jason kept silent for a long time and said, "I think everyone will know that I'm Elsa's father sooner or later. Even if Caper's mother doesn't come to make trouble today, everyone will soon find out that. Elsa is a very pitiful girl. I really want to take care of her."

Surprised, Soren asked, "You are Elsa's father? Uncle Jason, are you sure?"

Jason shook his head and said, "I didn't know about it at first. It was Dr. Xu who told me. At that time, I was very angry when the Mo family came to me because Caper made their daughter pregnant. Dr. Xu came to tell me that he had seen Caspar molest Elsa in the hospital. As a reporter, Elsa had also interviewed Caper. He was worried that Caper might have some bad ideas about Elsa, so he asked me to be cautious. I beat Caper so hard that day just to remind him not to mess around outside and to be careful. In fact, it seems that I'm not a good father. How can I discipline my son well?"

"Are you really Elsa's father? But I don't understand why Dr. Xu was the first one to know about it and how Elsa was sent away? Where is her mother?" Soren asked a series of questions and looked at

Jason seriously. He had a lot of questions and couldn't figure them out at the moment.

Jason smiled with self-mockery, saying, "Of course, doctor Xu knows it best. When I made that terrible mistake, Elsa's mother begged me to give up my family and choose her. I didn't agree. How could I completely ignore my family and future for a temporary mistake? I not only didn't agree, but also came up with a vicious idea. I asked doctor Xu to deceive her to have an abortion on the excuse of taking care of her baby. It was Dr. Xu who was softhearted and didn't help me with this matter. But I didn't know it at that time, thinking that I had done it secretly, and this mistake was finally over. I thought that since Elsa's mother was not pregnant, she would not come to me again, which would not threaten my original peaceful life. I look dignified on the surface, but I'm so bad in nature... So I don't have any face to recognize Elsa now."

Soren just looked at him and didn't expect such a story.

According to Jason's description, only Dr. Xu knew that Elsa was not removed from her mother's belly. But after Dr. Xu let go of Elsa's mother, he didn't know where she went. Dr. Xu couldn't find her everywhere, thinking that she had gone to other places. He didn't care about her for so many years, nor did he mention it to Jason.

Jason felt very regretful and remorseful for his extramarital affair. He thought that Elsa's mother had been aborted and left Linchuan City, so he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the first time that Elsa appeared in Dr. Xu's sight was when she followed her mother's instructions to go to the hospital to have a physical examination. Coincidentally, she met Caspar in the hospital, making fun of her. They also talked about something about that they saw each other naked. Elsa's appearance was somewhat similar to her mother's, and from some angles, she looked like Candice, which made Dr. Xu very shocked and uneasy.

Dr. Xu learned a lot about Elsa from one side and found out a lot of things about her. He found that she was an adopted child and didn't know her origin. Her existence had nothing to do with the Qiao family

and Jason's reputation. So in the beginning, he didn't intend to tell anyone about it, but when he found that Caspar was always close to Elsa, he was still afraid. He went to Jason and told him that he had let go of Elsa's mother when she was pregnant. He hoped that Jason could take more care of Caspar to avoid any accident between Caspar and Elsa.
