Chapter 71
Eliza was afraid that if she really fought, she would hurt the child in her stomach. She could only show off and said, "I've already officially reunited with my biological parents! From today onwards, I'm the real daughter of the Rhodes family!" "Without your identity as the daughter of the Rhodes family, let's see what you can do in the future."
She looked forward to seeing panic on Audrey's face.
However, Audrey only sneered. She then gently raised her hand.
Afraid that she would hit her again, Eliza took half a step back in fear. "I won't argue with you now!"
With that, she ran away as if she was running for her life.
After Eliza left, the ward fell into a strange silence.
The Harper family looked at Audrey in a daze and forgot to react for a moment.
Audrey did not regret hitting Eliza.
However, the Harper family had taken care of her for more than 20 years.
Audrey was afraid that the Harper family would have something to say about her hitting Eliza.noveldrama
After some time, Peter looked at Audrey and asked hesitantly, "You... You are..."
Audrey knew what he wanted to ask.
Seeing that he could not ask, she simply said in a calm manner, "That's right. I'm your actual daughter!" Before coming, Audrey had never thought of reuniting with the Harper family on such an occasion.
However, since things had already come to this, there was nothing to hide.
Seeing that the Harper family was silent, she lowered her eyes in disappointment.
After seeing the Harper family's attitude towards Eliza with her own eyes, she was sure that Eliza had been lying.
The Harper family did not favor boys over girls, and they had never abused her.
On the contrary, they treated Eliza very well. They did their best to love her.
To be honest, Audrey was a little envious.
Although she had never lacked food and clothing in the Rhodes family, she had never received this much love. However, the past few years had made her understand a principle. Not everyone could be loved unconditionally.
It was normal for the Harper family to not be able to accept this change after raising Eliza for over twenty years.
With that thought in mind, Audrey slowly smiled and placed the gifts on the bedside table.
She said, "If you don't want to have me, it's fine. I won't disturb you again in the future."
She thought, 'However, from now on, I will have no family... But it doesn't matter. I am already married! In the future, I might have a child with Alistair...'
Audrey put down the things and curled her hands slightly. She turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait..." Peter stopped her.
Anticipation appeared in Audrey's eyes, but she did not turn around and only stopped.
Looking at her back, Peter explained carefully, "I'm sorry. It's not that we don't want to have you back. It's just that this happened too suddenly and we didn't know what to do." Audrey thought, 'Is that so?"
She slowly turned around and looked at the sincere Peter.
He was looking at her carefully and guiltily. There seemed to be thousands of words in his gentle eyes.
Audrey's heart softened.
At this moment, Miles took a step forward and asked her doubtfully, "Are you... really my sister?"
The word 'sister' was like a nightmare to Miles.
Due to Eliza's poor health, his parents had always doted on Eliza.
This caused Eliza to be very arrogant and despotic in private.
She would deliberately break his toys and secretly throw his favorite pets into the snow.
Every time he told his parents about it, she would use her illness to cover up her crimes.
To be honest, he had thought countless times about how good it would be if he didn't have a sister.
However, he now knew that Eliza was not his real sister. Instead, Audrey was his sister.
He wondered if it was a dream.
Meeting Miles's expectant gaze, Audrey nodded slowly. "Eliza secretly did a paternity test with the Rhodes family before coming to Riverdale. She is the daughter of the Rhodes family. I was born in the same hospital as her and we were swapped by accident!" Hearing this, Jessica no longer had any doubts.
Now that she had regained some strength, she looked at Audrey guiltily and waved at her. "Can you... can you come over and let me take a good look?"
Audrey could not bear to reject a patient. She obeyed and sat down next to Jessica.
The next second, Jessica grabbed her hand.
Jessica had been sick for too long. Her hands were as thin as sticks. When she was held, Audrey could even feel the calluses on them.
Jessica held Audrey's hand and reached out with another trembling hand to touch her face.
Audrey inclined her head slightly.
However, Jessica's hand did not land on her face. Instead, she cried. "You look so much like me when I was young. Why didn't I recognize you..."
Looking at the tears on Jessica's face, Audrey panicked and comforted her clumsily, "Don't... don't cry."
She raised her hand and gently wiped away her tears.
However, Jessica cried even harder. Her eyes were filled with guilt as she said, "I'm sorry, child. I've let you down. If I had known that you were taken away by others, I definitely would looked for you. I'm sorry." "Don't say that... We're family. There's nothing to be sorry about." Audrey did not know how to comfort her, so she could only lean over and hug her.
This was just an accident. Jessica didn't do it on purpose. Audrey had never thought of blaming her.
Jessica asked in a low voice, "From what Eliza said before, the family that took you seems to be doing well?"
"Yes." Audrey nodded gloomily.
At the mention of the Rhodes family, she couldn't help but think of the ignorant Fiona and the self-righteous Albert.
She no longer had any attachment to them.
Sensing the change in her mood, Jessica's heart ached even more.
She held Audrey's hand tightly and said, "Although our family is not rich, we welcome you home anytime!"
Jessica could tell that although Audrey was dressed glamorously, there was obvious hurt in her eyes when she mentioned that family.
Clearly, the Rhodes family had hurt her/
The only thing Jessica wanted to do was to try her best to make up for the love Audrey missed out on in the past.
