Chapter 1216
Daniel shook his head. “Don't mention it, Natalie. Justice has prevailed. Dream Corporation's and your good names
are finally restored now.”
“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “Although Arnold is not my biological granddad, I'll always remember his undying spirit of
treating patients and saving lives. In the future, I still plan to continue developing Dream Pharmaceutical and
Dexmed Pharmaceutical to invent more special medicines. I'm also preparing to establish a medical research
institution and take in some promising young talents from both traditional and modern medicine fields. I'll use the
profit I gain from my fashion, jewelry, and entertainment businesses to fund the research institution's equipment
and facilities, as well as to cultivate talents. Traditional medicine is a macroscopic discipline, while modern medicine
is a microscopic discipline. I hope to combine these two spheres and see if we can come up with more prospective
studies and innovative inventions to help treat those patients with rare diseases.”
Natalie thought of those ideas when she was recuperating.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that the truth about her parentage had been revealed, she didn't want to dwell further on the past as she
figured the future was more important.
Daniel's blood boiled with excitement after he listened to Natalie's speech. “You're a brilliant girl, Natalie! You're in
no way inferior to a man for being so far-sighted and ambitious at such a young age. You have my full support! Feel
free to let me know if you need my assistance. I'll definitely do my best to help you!”
Patricia was a woman, so she was more sensitive and thoughtful. “Natalie, although you're close to achieving
complete recovery, you should still prioritize getting sufficient rest. Career is important, but health should always
take precedence.”
“I know. I'll take good care of myself.”
While they talked, Daniel got up to take a call.
Patricia and Natalie proceeded to discuss more delicate topics. “Natalie, His Majesty did a paternity test and verified
your identity as his daughter.” Patricia gently held Natalie's petite hand. “I don't care about his status as the king. I
just want to know if you plan to accept him as your father.”
Gritting her teeth and biting her lip, Natalie remained silent and didn't respond to Patricia's question for a long
while.
Seeing that, Patricia couldn't help but frown and asked again, “Natalie, you—”
“Aunt Patricia, I-I don't know yet.” Natalie lowered her head and flashed a bitter smile. “It hadn't been an easy
journey getting to know my parentage. I used to yearn for the truth, but now that the truth has been presented to
me, I don't know what I should do next. I can tell how much he loves my mother, but aside from him currently
having a wife, he has also neglected my mother and me all these years. These are all undisputed facts.”
Patricia patted Natalie's hand.
“There's no right or wrong, whether you choose to accept him or not.” She spoke softly. “However, there is
something I wish to tell you. You never lose by loving, but you always lose by holding back. No one knows which is
the correct path to take in life. We cannot predetermine if our choices will yield desirable results or
disappointments, so the only thing we can do is to live every moment to the fullest, seize every opportunity, and
cherish the time we spend with those around us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie, who was initially caught in a conflicted state of mind, was suddenly enlightened after listening to Patricia's
counsel.
She beamed at Patricia and said, “Thank you, Aunt Patricia. I'll keep your words in mind.”
“Natalie, although you are not fated to be with Jerome, our household will always welcome your presence.
Remember to bring Xavian, Clayton, Franklin, and Sophia to visit us whenever you're free.”
Patricia was very fond of kids. She didn't know whether Jerome had let go of his feelings for Natalie, but even
without that concern, she wondered how long she had to wait before Jerome would provide her with grandchildren.
“Okay. I got it.”
After Daniel hung up the phone, he walked over and saw Natalie and Patricia engaging in a lively conversation. He
asked curiously, “What are you two chatting so animatedly about? Care to share the joy with me?”
Patricia chirped, “We're discussing feminine topics. Why is a grown man like you butting in our conversation?”
In his younger days, Daniel was a fierce soldier on the battlefield. However, he treated Patricia with unusual
tenderness. “Fine. I won't ask. Discuss whatever topic you like. I'll just sit here and keep you company.”
His gentle manner of speech starkly contrasted with his tough exterior, causing Patricia and Natalie to giggle out
loud.
In the end, even Daniel laughed in embarrassment.
