Chapter 1193 The Truth Of Her Background
It turns out that Arnold isn’t my real grandfather either. Mom was just an adopted daughter! Natalie bawled her
eyes out. In her memories, her mother’s surgical skills were excellent.
Although Natalie was born in Chanaea, her mother often sang songs from Loang and kept telling her that Loang
was a wonderful country.
Jennie would also often suggest that Natalie visit Loang and experience their different culture if she had the chance
when she grew up.
Hence, after the fire, Natalie chose to go to Loang, where she had the opportunity to meet Yandel. Even when she
was preparing to expand Dream, the first place she could think of was Loang, and not Irethiel, where Diane resided.
She always thought that her mother simply liked Loang, but she had never expected that Jennie was not born and
raised in Chanaea. As it turned out, Loang was actually the latter’s hometown.
When she thought of that, Natalie subconsciously clenched her fists as she stared blankly at Mikhail, who was not

Now… I finally understand why Mother left me those last words. She wanted me to continue living remotely and
give up on past grudges.
She had always thought her mother wanted her to forgive Thomas, that b*stard. However, she did not know that
the thing her mother wanted her to give up on was not even the grudge between her and Thomas.
Thomas was greedy and cunning, but he and Yvonne were nothing compared to the royal family and the king of
Loang.
If her investigation had not gone well, she might not have been able to meet Mikhail before she was killed and
dumped in a ditch somewhere. Hence, her mother wished she did not get hung up on her background. The more
she knew, the more danger she would be in.
Now, she realized that the many things she thought she had previously understood and interpreted were all
information on a surface level.
Natalie recalled the last moments before Jennie passed. Her mother kept muttering that she wanted to meet “that
man.”
She had always assumed that the person her mother wanted to meet was Thomas.
Hence, on that rainy night, with thunder booming and lightning flashing, she was on her knees at the Nichols
residence, begging and hoping that Thomas would remember his past relationship with Jennie and visit her for the
last time…
Yet, Thomas refused to visit her. His determination made it seem like he did not love her.
She could not get Thomas to budge, no matter how hard she begged. When she went home, she cried and told her
mother that Thomas was unwilling to come. However, Jennie gently caressed her face and made her stop looking
for Thomas. The dying woman understood clearly that she would never be able to meet “that man” again before
she passed away.
As it turns out, the person Mom wanted to meet wasn’t even Thomas. The person she wanted to see was the king
of Loang, the most respected man in all of Loang.
Jennie knew better than anyone that the reason she tried to hide her identity was to escape from him, so there was

When Natalie watched her mother leave the world with regret, she placed all her blame on Thomas, not knowing
that even if he did come to see Jennie, he would not be able to ease her regret.
All misunderstandings were finally resolved.
“Mom…” Natalie could not stop crying. She never knew that her mother carried so many burdens nor how much
Jennie had sacrificed to protect her. Why am I only realizing all her efforts now? If I had known, I wouldn’t have
complained about why she liked an irresponsible b*stard like Thomas whenever I saw other kids having fatherly
love!
“I’m sorry…”
Natalie did not feel happy after knowing her background.
On the contrary, she could only feel guilt and heartbreak toward her mother after knowing the truth.
Samuel had also investigated for some time and could guess the truth through the clues left behind. He initially
wanted to wait for everything to be over before telling Natalie, but he did not expect that something would happen
and that she would learn the truth without any mental preparations.
“These are all grievances from the past…” Samuel gently patted Natalie’s back and said in a low voice, “No matter
who you are, you’re still mine. I’ll always be by your side and protect you.”
