Chapter 702 Here Comes Veronica (65)
Veronica's mother told her another piece of exploding news.
Veronica begged, "Mom, don't joke with me."
"I am not joking with you." There was a hint of ridicule in her tone. "Since you mentioned it, I will no longer keep it from you. You are an orphan. I adopted you from the orphanage."
Veronica was adopted from the orphanage, not the biological child of the Luke family.
Veronica originally thought that at most, her mother would tell her that she was not her father's child. Her father was someone else.
However, she did not expect to hear such a truth from her mother.
"Mom, are you afraid that I will bother you or my biological father? So you made such an excuse to fool me? Mom, don't worry, I won't, I..."
Veronica's mother's voice was then filled with impatience. "Veronica, I didn't lie to you. What I said is true. Back then, when my daughter was five years old, she suddenly died. I was afraid that your father would be angry, so I went to the orphanage. You looked like my daughter. At that time, you happened to have a car accident, which erased all your memory of the past. So, I took you home.
"However, just two years ago, your father suddenly found out that your blood type was O-type. Your father and I are both A-type, so we can't have an O-typed child. He suspected that you were not his daughter, so he secretly took your hair to do a paternity test. It was then confirmed that you were not his biological daughter. That was why we had a divorce. You kept calling me. I planned to tell you the truth in two days. However, since you asked me now, I have to tell you."
Veronica frantically shook her head.
"No, Mom, I don't believe it. I must be your biological daughter. I must be. Mom, you must be lying to me."
Her mother said coldly, "It's fine if you don't believe me. I happen to have a paternity test report. It's about you and me. Tell me your address and I'll ask my assistant to send it to you."
Her mother's words made Veronica feel chilly.
Veronica had called her "mom" for more than ten years. But in the end, it turned out that she was not her biological mother. No one could accept this.
"Mom, don't joke with me. I won't believe it. Your DNA test report must be fake."
Her mother took a deep breath.
"If you are afraid that this report is fake, we can make a new test together. When will you be available? I will go with you to the authority and take the test on the spot. Then you can see it yourself and know I'm not lying to you."
Veronica didn't know what to say.
She didn't know how she hung up the phone. All the strength in her body seemed to have been emptied at this moment. She slid to the ground.
At this time, she was completely confused.
Her mother told her that she was adopted. She was an orphan. Her biological parents might no longer be alive. How could she accept this cruel truth?
It turned out that she did not have a home.
Veronica left the hospital and returned to the Cordova Mansion.
In the Cordova Mansion, Marie was there. She had already been discharged from the hospital.
As soon as she saw Marie, Veronica could not control her emotions and threw herself into Marie's arms.
"Marie."
Marie hugged Veronica and patted her shoulder. "Veronica, what happened? Tell me."
Veronica just cried in Marie's arms and did not say anything.
After Veronica cried heartily in Marie's arms, she returned to her room. For the entire afternoon, she did not come out of her room.
When Raymond returned to the villa, he did not see Veronica. He heard from Marie what happened to Veronica after she came back. He worriedly went to Veronica's room.
He directly knocked on the door of Veronica's room.
"Veronica, open the door."
After a knock, no one answered. Raymond continued to knock.
"Veronica, hurry up and open the door. If you don't open the door, I'll break in."
Because Veronica had not come to open the door, Raymond really wanted to break in. Before he could do that, the door opened from the inside. There was no light inside. It was dark. Only the light from the corridor outside vaguely shone on Veronica's face.
Her face was slightly swollen. Her eyes were red. She looked like she had just cried.
Seeing Veronica like that, Raymond's look became grim.
"What happened? Did anyone hurt you?"
"What do you want?" Veronica said with a muffled voice, "If there is anything you want to say, say it now."
Raymond repeated his question. "Did anyone hurt you? Why are you crying?"
Veronica frowned. Instead of answering Raymond's question, she said, "If you think I'm slacking off, I will come out now."
Raymond was speechless.
Veronica turned around and closed the door. After a while, she changed into a maid outfit and walked out of the room. She walked past Raymond and Raymond just watched her.
After Veronica came out, she began to wipe the dirt off the stairs in the villa with a rag.
Raymond followed beside Veronica.
"What happened? Did someone from your translation office make things difficult for you?" On second thought, Raymond realized that Veronica didn't go to the translation office this afternoon. He heard it from Willie. Veronica did not even call Willie to ask for leave. Nor did she answer her phone. Later, her phone was turned off.
"No!" Veronica said coldly.
"Then who hurt you?"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Raymond had been following her, Veronica looked at him angrily. "Mr. Cordova, can you stop following me?"
Raymond looked at Veronica smilingly with his arms crossed.
"Veronica, you can't be so forgetful. Have you forgotten what happened today?" Raymond reminded her, "At noon, I told you I liked you. So, your business is my business." Veronica was speechless.
Although Raymond told her he liked her, she didn't say yes. Since she didn't agree, then they were not boyfriend and girlfriend. How could her business be his?
However, looking at Raymond's expression, Veronica knew that it would be troublesome to argue with him right now.
At this moment, she really didn't have the energy to argue with him.
"Raymond, I want to be alone for a while. Can you leave me alone?" Veronica looked at Raymond, looking a little tired.
