Chapter 1145
To Natalie, the secret was like Pandora's box.
The box was so attractive that she could not help but be tempted to open it so that she could see what was inside.
Yet, at the same time, a voice in her mind told her that many things would become far more complicated once that
box was opened.
As Natalie's heart raced, she looked at Samuel and smile bitterly. “Samuel, I seem... particularly indecisive, aren't
I?”
Before Samuel could say anything to that, Natalie continued, “To be honest, I should just stay away from it if I'm
truly scared. But at the same time, I want to know the truth. I'm stuck in the middle of two choices, and it feels
horrible. I'm afraid of knowing, and I'm afraid of not knowing. I feel like a headless chicken running around and
around in circles...”
The frustration Natalie felt was audible in her voice.

her birth circumstances.
When she heard nothing from Samuel and realized that the man was only staring at her, she blurted out, “Am I
pointlessly wishy-washy? Then, you—”
“I'm just feeling happy to learn that you've changed,” Samuel told her as he cupped her face and lifted her chin.
“You used to take on everything by yourself regardless of whether the matter is good or bad. Now, you're telling me
the thoughts you have in your mind, and you're letting me share your sorrows and joys.”
The moment those words left Samuel's lips, Natalie's heart skipped a beat.
Indeed, ever since she had been set up by Yara and nearly died, she had become used to enduring everything in
silence alone.
That did not mean she did not trust the people around her, however, simply that she could not fully trust them.
Fragility like this moment was something she would have never revealed in the past.
“I...”
“It's normal for you to be hesitant,” Samuel said to Natalie in a low voice as he caressed her cheek. “Although
you've found new clues about your birth circumstances, the future is still unknown to you. Nevertheless, regardless
of what your history is and who your father is, you'll always be my wife, and you'll always be the mother of our five
kids. That is something that will never change.”
Every word that came out of Samuel's mouth was exactly what Natalie needed to hear.
She parted her lips, only to realize that her words seemed to have grown spines and were stuck in her throat.
All she could do was stare at those determined eyes of his and see the love and gentleness in them.
Samuel's words had melted her heart.
“Okay.”
Natalie nodded vigorously as happiness re-entered her bright eyes.
Samuel pulled her into his arms.
He had been watching her change into someone more emotional, and now, she knew how to fully love a person.
It was wonderful.

Ever since the hair sample was secretly sent to the organization, Cynthia had been waiting for the result.
Soon, per her order, Demi took the result of the test from the lab.
When Cynthia saw Demi returning, she anxiously urged, “Where's the report? Give it to me!”
Upon hearing Cynthia's anxious yell, Demi sped up and passed her the report.
“You're dismissed.”
Once Demi was gone, Cynthia became the only one left in the room.
Her hands holding the report began to tremble uncontrollably.
It took her a deep breath before she could stop the tremble in her hands. After steeling herself, she opened the
folder.
The report stated—Probability of Paternity: 99.99%.
It was a result Cynthia expected, but she still could not stop herself from inhaling sharply upon seeing the words.
I knew it. I knew it! Natalie Nichols is really his biological daughter!
“This is fate!” Cynthia gripped the report so hard she crumpled the paper. “Everything is part of God's plan...”
