Elliot bit his lip, lowering his head in a manner that suggested guilt, nestling into her embrace and speaking softly as if he had erred.
“Nana, I have nothing now, not even a dime to my name. Would you still want me?”
Sheena sighed, feeling touched and pitiful as she gently stroked his face.
She said with a slightly trembling voice, “I accepted your proposal last night. How could I possibly not want you? But… are you sure doing all that is worth it?”
Satisfied, Elliot embraced her waist tightly. “It’s worth it. You’re now the wealthiest female billionaire in Froania. Even if you were truly a prisoner’s illegitimate daughter, no one would dare to question you.
“Besides, my woman deserves the best this world has to offer.”
Sheena’s eyes turned red, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
No amount of gratitude could express her current state of mind. She once thought falling for him, back when he went by the alias Elijah, was the greatest misfortune of her life.
Little did she know he was the only stroke of luck in her entire existence.
When they met with a dead end, they were willing to sacrifice everything for each other.
This was perhaps the most beautiful declaration of love in the world.
Sheena held him tightly, feeling his steady heartbeat and the security he provided.
The loving atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
It was Lionel.
“The paternity test results are out.”
Lionel’s tone was heavy, and his mood seemed less than favorable.
Elliot immediately composed himself, got out of bed, opened the door, and took the paternity test results from Lionel. He glanced through them, and as he read, his expression darkened.
He asked, “Did you really deliver Nana and Austin’s hair samples personally to the hospital?”
Lionel nodded, replying, “Yes, I personally delivered them to Svelton General Hospital, with a mandate from the National Investigation Bureau, requesting Dr. Frazer to conduct the test.”
Elliot fell into silence, contemplating for a while.
“You can go downstairs for now,” he said, and Lionel nodded before leaving.
Sheena, still in her nightgown, had not gotten out of bed.

She looked at Elliot by the door and uttered, “Eli, let me see it. Whatever the result is, I’ll accept it.”
Elliot hesitated for a moment but ultimately handed her the paternity test results.
She took it, flipping directly to the last page.
The words ‘father–daughter relationship‘ deeply pierced her eyes, accompanied by Dr. Frazer’s thumbprint.
“Nana, I feel there are still some doubts about this matter. Don’t trust these test results for now.”
Elliot calmly analyzed the situation for her, adding, “You’ve been with the Lawson family for so many years, and Uncle Albert never doubted your identity. He treated you with unique favoritism. Why, at this critical moment, did he suddenly decide to verify DNA? Someone must have reminded him to do it. Also, even Uncle Albert is unaware of this matter. Some individuals, clearly younger than you, are well– versed in these old stories. Could there be someone behind the scenes manipulating things?”
Elliot gave her some time to process his words, then explained, “First, Uncle Albert encounters trouble, then you’re discovered not to be the Lawson family heiress, and finally, your imprisoned biological father. All of this happened just a day before signing the inheritance rights. You’re repeatedly struck with setbacks. All these twists and turns seem logical at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it appears too coincidental, too deliberate! All these events piled together give me a sense that the other party was pressed for time and had no choice but to resort to such tactics.”
Sheena listened quietly, her brows slightly furrowed, her gaze fixed on the paternity test results and the stamp from General Hospital.
Elliot noticed her scrutinizing the document and continued, “Although Dr. Frazer personally issued this report, I don’t think we can fully trust it. How about calling Noah over and having him conduct another test?”
