Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“This secret may be difficult for you to accept, and it will take some time to digest, but I want to tell you that it is the truth, and no one can deceive you,” Beatrice emphasized once again the authenticity of the matter.

Perhaps no one had expected it to develop into such an outcome.

“Even if I’m not your biological child, you didn’t have to treat Mike this way,” Patrick still couldn’t understand why there was so much hatred between Beatrice and Mike.

Beatrice didn’t answer, she simply asked about Mike’s condition in a casual tone, “How is Mike now? Is he doing well health-wise?”

“Everything is fine, thanks for your concern.”

Hearing this, Beatrice felt slightly relieved.

“In that case, I would like to meet Mike. Is that possible?” Some things are better discussed face-to-face. The longer it takes, the more likely mistakes will occur.

Jane glanced at Patrick and saw his hesitance, so she directly agreed with Beatrice, “I’ll take you there now.”

“What are you saying? How can you take her there?” Patrick had originally intended to refuse, but Jane beat him to it.

Jane shook her head, took his hand, and quietly whispered in his ear, “Some things will become clearer when said face-to-face. Don’t you want to know the truth as well?”

Seeing the two of them discussing, Beatrice asked again, “Is it possible?”

Jane stood up and made a gesture of invitation, saying, “Let’s go together.”

And so, the three of them arrived at Pansy’s Old Mansion together. Mike’s recent health condition was relatively stable, but he seemed noticeably weaker than usual.

The car stopped at the entrance, and as they got out, they saw Mike being pushed by someone, basking in the sun in the yard. It was a heartwarming scene.

Jane pointed in Mike’s direction and said to Beatrice, “No matter how much hatred you have in your heart or how many grievances you hold against this old man, I must warn you, he is just an old man, and his health has greatly deteriorated. The doctors said he cannot be subjected to any stimulation, as there is a high chance he may fall into a coma and not wake up.”

After this warning, Beatrice restrained herself and silently nodded, following them into the yard.

Patrick was the first to shout, “Grandpa!”

Mike turned around and saw them, his gaze falling on Beatrice behind them. His expression changed slightly, “You’ve come. Let’s go inside.”

Mike appeared unchanged, just as he was before, without any noticeable differences.

The group sat on the sofa, and Jane specifically asked the servants to leave.

“If you have something to say, go ahead. After all, we are all family sitting here now. If you’re still not at ease, I can leave,” Jane said, trying to provoke Beatrice and see her reaction.

Beatrice waved her hand, “No need, it’s better that you’re here.”

Mike sat next to Patrick, while Jane sat across from Beatrice. They all sat like this. Mike glanced at Beatrice.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you want to say?”

Patrick took out the test report from his bag and placed it on the table.

Mike’s face immediately changed dramatically, and he shouted at Beatrice, “It’s been over 20 years now, and you still bring this up. What kind of heart do you have? I’ve given you everything you wanted, why aren’t you satisfied?”

Upon hearing this, Jane was even more surprised. It seemed that there were many conflicts between them that they were unaware of.

Beatrice snorted, “After you heartlessly abandoned my child back then and brought this child back, from that moment on, do you think I would forgive you?”

The events of that year were vividly displayed before their eyes, like scenes from a movie.

Mike didn’t want to bring up those things anymore, but circumstances forced him to mention them again.

Patrick listened quietly beside them.

Mike glanced at Patrick, then looked in Jane’s direction, and said to both of them, “These are all old matters. Originally, there was no need to tell you, but things have developed to this point. If we continue to conceal it, it won’t be good for any of us.”

“Now that she has already revealed most of the matter, I will tell you the truth of what happened back then.”

Mike knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so it was better to tell them the truth sooner rather than let them guess and affect the harmony between them.

Beatrice was satisfied with hearing this and sat quietly on the side, hoping that Mike would say the answer she wanted to hear the most.

“After Beatrice gave birth to the child, the child was weak and sickly. Originally, he wasn’t expected to live past the age of three, and he had a severe heart condition. He stayed in the emergency room for three days. Many doctors came and said that the child wouldn’t survive, advising us to give up on treatment.”

“It was because of this that I decided to give up on that child, my own grandson.”

A touch of sorrow appeared on Mike’s face as he mentioned this.

Beatrice added, “Back then, you insisted on giving up on the child’s treatment. No matter how much I pleaded with you, you weren’t willing to do anything for this child. I was lying in the hospital bed with nobody to take care of me, while all your attention was focused on this child. I didn’t even know what I did wrong.”

Beatrice’s mention of the events from that year filled her with grievances, and her resentment towards Mike grew even stronger.

Finally, Jane understood why Beatrice was so heartbroken about her own two children. It turned out she had once lost a child as well.

“In order to save this child, I begged everyone I could think of. I never expected it to be so serious. Our family’s fortunes were already in a dire state, and we were on the brink of collapse. Under such exorbitant costs, I made the decision to give up on that child. But on that same day, I came across Patrick, and I saw him as a gift from heaven. That’s why I treated Patrick’s child as if he were yours!”
