Chapter 310 Skyking City, The Wrights Mansion
"Jacob..." Susan nervously grabbed the hem of her dress.
"What is the thing that you want to talk to me about?" she asked, her eyes darting around the room as she refused to meet Jacob's eyes.
She did not want to see the disappointment on Jacob's face after he knew that she was not his biological sister.
“Susie," Jacob called out to her. His gaze softened when he saw the panic that lined Susan's face.
It was only now that he realized that he was not the only one who was shrouded in fear.
They depended on each other for so many years, and they were inseparable. He was afraid that Susan would not want him to be her brother anymore, and the feeling was mutual. Both of their worries were totally unfounded.
The thought put a smile on Jacob's face. He ran his fingers over Susan's hair as he said, "Susie, the reason I gave them your hair to do the DNA test is that I found the witness that year and I already knew that you're not my biological sister. Secondly, the Wrights are tenacious. They have been looking for you for such a long time, so there is no way they would let go of even the slightest hope. Rather than holding out on them, I figured it’s better to do the test. As for the result, it doesn't really matter for me."
Holding her head low, Susan just nodded.
"Previously, I was afraid to let you do the DNA test because I thought you would not want me to be your brother anymore once you found out that we are not related by blood.”
"I won't, Jacob. I will not." Susan suddenly raised her head and gazed anxiously at Jacob.
Jacob was tickled pink by her reaction and he chuckled, "Yeah, I know you won't. I know you would never abandon me, and I am the same as well. Even if we are not related by blood, I'll still be your brother. That is something that will never change."
Jacob's eyes were warm and soft as always.
Tears began to well in Susan's eyes. She threw herself into Jacob's arms and bawled her eyes out. "Brother."
"Alright, alright. Everything will be alright," Jacob comforted her as he patted her back lightly.
Susan had a good cry. After a long while, she raised herself up from Jacob's arms. As she wiped her eyes, she was somewhat embarrassed to feel the tears on her cheeks.
She pushed Jacob away a little from her and said in a n undertone, "I didn’t want to cry actually. Please... don't laugh at me."
It took Jacob a lot not to laugh at Susan. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were red with tears. It reminded him of the little girl who used to follow him around when both of them were still kids.
However, even if she was married, even if she was going to become the mother of another child, he was willing to let her rely on him for the rest of her life.
It did not matter much to him if they were related by blood. The things that fettered them together was not something so shallow but their feelings for each other and the time that they had spent together.
Jacob went forward and helped Susan wipe the tears off her face. Then, he said, "Okay, don't think too much. No matter what happens, you will always be m y sister."
Embarrassed, Susan nodded.
'Ahhhh! This is so embarrassing... How could I act like a baby just now?'
On the other side, Jacob fell into a pensive mood.
After a long while, he said, "The best news from this test is that since we are not biological siblings, you won't inherit the cardiac disorder. Both you and your baby will be safe. As for your new family... Well, it depends on you whether or not you want to reunite with them. I guess it is better for you to think about it yourself."
Susan balled her hands into fists as the second wave o f anxiety shot up from her stomach pit.
After she resolved the issue between her and Jacob, only then was she in the mood to think about the Wrights.
'So, I am that Rosie in Oliver’s story?'
Susan bit her lower lips. According to Oliver, the Wrights had never wanted to abandon her. Instead, she was kidnapped by their opponents.
They had been looking for her for 20 years, and her biological mother had fallen sick with grievance and toil.
She did not have any excuse to hate them. However, it still did not change the fact that she had been separated from them for more than 20 years.
Twenty-five years had passed, and she already had her own life. She was kind of nervous to accept a family that she had never met before.
She did not know how she should face or what she should do with the family that suddenly popped out of nowhere. As such, she decided to play it by ear.
When Susan emerged from the room, Anna was still waiting for her outside the door. She quickly walked u p to Susan and greeted, "S-Susie..."
The way Anna looked at her reminded Susan of a puppy, and her heart softened.
She sighed, "Just call me whatever.”
Anna's eyes lit up. "Can I call you sister then?" NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Susan just replied with a smile.
"Oh yeah! Sister!” Anna exclaimed.
Susan nodded her head helplessly.
"Sister." Anna pushed Jacob away and coiled her arm carefully around Susan’s arms. "Oliver has already gone back to Skyking City. He said he must inform Mom and Dad in person that we have finally found you. I guess they will rush over here right away after they hear about it."
"Okay..." Susan replied. She felt a little anxious.
'Mom and Dad?'
She used to have a father and a mother when she was a child. Unfortunately, they seldom came back home, s o her memory of them was faint and blurry. Now that Anna was telling her that her biological parents, the legendary Marshal Wright and his spouse were coming to meet her right now?
Never in Susan's wildest dreams would she have a chance to come across such a family, let alone tell her that they were actually her biological parents. As such, she was a little hesitant and she felt a little afraid of meeting them.
She was never a person who liked change. She was very content with the life she had right now, so she had no idea what kind of changes the Wrights would bring to her life.
Were the changes good or bad? She could not tell.
Be that as it may, she was still looking forward to
meeting her parents.
I wonder what they look like? Would they feel disappointed or happy after seeing me?'
However, she could only wait right now.
Ningcheng City and Skyking City were two totally different cities. The former was the heart of the economy of Canada while the latter was the political center of Canada.
Oliver utilized a special routeway. He departed very early in the morning, and it was not even afternoon yet by the time he arrived at Skyking City.
Just when he reached his house, he saw Marilyn standing in front of the door. Her face was dismal.
