Leah was sick again.
Probably she caught a fever from the shock when she was splashed with wine at the
banquet hall during the day, and later Han brought her to an abandoned suburb.
Luckily it was just a common cold. So, Leah slept after taking some cold medicine.
Leah slept through the night until ten o’clock the following day.
Her head was in splitting pain, and her body was still weak.
Then, a maid with a tray knocked on Leah’s door. “Miss White, Mrs. White had asked me to
bring you some soup and medicine. Are you awake?”
“Yes, please come in,” said Leah.
The maid entered. She placed the medicine by Leah’s bed and helped her to the soup.
“Is Mrs. White out?” asked Leah casually.
“Yes,” said the maid. Then, she thought for a bit. “But, Mr. White returned, and he’s now in
his room. I think he was looking for you.”
Leah blinked when she heard that.
She recalled the phone call from Gordon the day before, saying he found out the truth and
would tell her when he was back.
So, the truth is finally coming to light?
For some reason, Leah felt her heart sink deeper instead.
She gave the tray to the maid. “I know. I’ll get changed and see him.”
The maid nodded and left.
When the maid reached the living room, Sasha just came in with a man who was heavily
covered behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Miss Sasha.” The maid was shocked. She looked at the man carefully. He was wearing a
baseball cap that was pulled low, and he had a wavy scar on his chin.
Sensing the look from the maid, the man gave her a mean look.
眼神十分 人, 得女 赶 垂
It made the maid lower her head immediately.
“Hmm.” Sasha did not expect to see the maid there. “Go and get something for me,” she
said after gaining her poise.
“Yes, Miss Sasha.” The maid took the money and left immediately.
Once the maid was away, Sasha quickly turned to the man. “You better hurry. Leave right
after you find it. I don’t want to raise any suspicion.”
The man nodded. Then, he looked around the room. “Well, it seems like you have a good
life here,” said the man in a hoarse voice.
Sasha was nervous that anyone from the White family would see her with the man.
“Stop looking! The library is upstairs. Go and find it!” She urged.
At that moment, Gordon’s voice came behind a door upstairs. ” Sarah? Is that you?”
The color drained out from Sasha’s face when she heard Gordon’s voice.
She did not expect Gordon to be back so soon!
“What should we do? Gordon is back!” Sasha looked at the man helplessly.
The man did not want to be discovered too. “Stall him,” said the man as he hid under the
couch.
The door of Gordon’s room opened right after the man hid. “That’s strange. I thought I
heard something from the living room…” Gordon mumbled in confusion.
He saw Sasha, who was trying to stay calm, before he could finish his sentence. Gordon
was stunned for a moment. He looked uncomfortable.
Gordon had not figured out how to face Sasha after he found out the truth, even though
he knew she might have nothing to do with it.
Anyway, Gordon was tricked.
“Oh, it’s you, Sasha.” Gordon walked towards Sasha, not noticing anything out of the
ordinary.
“Daddy, you are back. I missed you when you were away,” said Sasha adoringly with her
hands around Gordon’s arm, like she always did.
However, Gordon pulled his arm out uncomfortably.
He sat down on the couch. “Sasha, take a seat. I have something to ask you.”
Sasha had an uneasy feeling.
She sat down on the couch nervously. “What happened, Daddy? You looked serious.”
Gordon sighed. “Do you know about your real identity?” he asked.
Sasha’s face twitched.
She forced a smile on her pale face and clenched her fists. “What about it? I have been
with you since I can remember. Did you find something?”
Gordon nodded. “Sarah had an adoptive father called Charlie Parridge. I found out that he
might be your father. He was the one who sent you to the orphanage.”
Sasha felt like thunder had struck her.
He knew!
Does this mean I can’t stay with the White family anymore?
After all, I was placed deceptively in the White family by Charlie. Gordon is a proud man,
and he would never forgive that!
“Daddy, I have no idea about this.” Sasha shook her head.
Gordon started to hesitate when he saw Sasha’s expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Charlie forged your DNA report and even burnt down the orphanage you grew up in. With
the director of the orphanage dead, there is no way to verify it. But, he did so much for
you, and I don’t think he has no ulterior motive,” Gordon explained.
“But, isn’t he dead?” Sasha blurted.
Gordon frowned and looked at her. “How did you know this?”
“Sarah told me before,” said Sasha in panic.
Gordon looked at her suspiciously.
After a while, he continued. “I think Charlie is still alive. His death was just a ruse. He
faked it because he might be plotting something against the White family.”
Sasha looked at Gordon. “How are you going to solve this?”
Gordon looked at Sasha with a firm look. “I plan to send you overseas. Don’t worry, and I’ll
take care of you. Once I find him and take care of the problem, I’ll bring you back.”
Sasha shook her head, and tears flew down her cheeks.
She knew the White family would never let her back if they caught Charlie and learned
everything.
They would definitely find out that she was behind the scheme with Charlie.
I can’t let him investigate this!
“Daddy! Is there no other way? I really don’t want to leave you all!” begged Sasha in
tears.
Gordon looked at her and sighed. “This is the best solution.”
Sasha knew Gordon would hardly change his mind once he had decided.
Is everything over now?
Through her teary eyes, Sasha’s pupils contracted.
Because she saw, behind Gordon, Charlie climbed out from the couch with a dagger in his
hand.
