A profound silence hung in the air.

The presence of several policeman couldn’t quell the tumult within their hearts. “The renowned musician, Lyndon, had another child. But where did this child come from?”

Rena interrupted him with by detachment, “Mr. Coleman, you cannot speak recklessly.”

She looked Her gage onto Lyndon’s eyes and enunciated each word deliberately, “My lame ta Rena Gordon and my father is Darren Gordon,

I am the offspring of Darren and Rena, “I have no connection to you.”

Lyndon’s lips quivered,

He had never fathomed that Rena harbored such profound animosity towards him, to the extent that she refused to acknowledge him as her father,

With lands abaking uncontrollably, he extracted a document from his pocket It bore the weight of a DNA identification report, with a line of text at the bottom, proclaiming, “Lyndon Goleman and Rena Gordon are confirmed as biological father and daughter,”

Lyndon choked back gobs as he muttered, “In light of this evidence, can you still assert that we have nothing to do with each other?”

Gently, Rena accepted the DNA identification report into her grasp.

A slight: chuckle escaped Rena’s lips. “Il finally comprehend why my mother chose to leave you. Mr, Goleman, while we may share a biological connection, that is where our association ends. In fact, I despise you as Elvira’s father. You intervened on Elvira’s behalf but have you ever considered the immense loss I have endured in my relationship With Waylen? Mr. Goleman, please refrain from troubling my mother at her resting place any further, She has my father, who loves her dearly, and that is enough,”

Rena fixed her gaze upon Lyndon,

With deliberate slowness, she began tearing the DNA identification report into fragments, methodically ripping it apart until nothing remained.

She had always been under the care of Darren, with no presence of Lyndon in her life. And now she still didn’t need him!

Lyndon’s complexion turned pallid and he kept retreating.

He stared at his own flesh and blood, finding it difficult to fathom her callousness. He had hoped that upon revealing the truth of her parentage, she and Elvira could reconcile, becoming loving sisters.

Alas, it had proven to be an extravagant wish.

Rena closed her eyes and spoke up softly. “Mr. Coleman, please take Miss Coleman away. I reserve my right to pursue legal action. Please prevent your daughter from causing harm to others again.

One more thing. My surname shall forever remain Gordon.”

Rena’s heart raced within her chest. She was not an unfeeling entity. she, too, experienced emotions.

In just a span of two weeks, she had endured countless tribulations, burdening her soul immensely. Overwhelmed, she succumbed to unconsciousness…

In the hospital ward, Rena lay motionless, surrounded by an air of uncertainty.

The doctors were at a loss, unable to awaken her from her unconscious state.

Eloise, trembling with worry, held onto Vera’s arm, seeking solace and answers.

Desperation filled Eloise’s voice as she asked, “Is there no medical intervention that can bring her back, Doctor?”

The doctor sighed, his expression filled with empathy.

“Mrs. Gordon, your daughter is physically fine, but her subconscious mind resists waking up. We must wait for her to regain her own will.”

Eloise’s eyes welled up with tears, her heart heavy with concern for Rena.

Vera, though equally worried, attempted to soothe Eloise’s anxiety. “It shouldn’t be a grave concern. Let’s give Rena some more time to rest and recover.”

Eloise nodded, her tears falling silently.

She took a basin of warm water and gently wiped Rena’s delicate hands.

Vera’s eyes glistened with tears as she looked at Rena’s slender fingers.

Eloise remained unaware that Rena’s dreams of becoming a pianist were forever shattered..

Vera wiped away her tears, and just as Roscoe approached with a prescription, he noticed her distress.

Concerned, he whispered, “Why are you crying? Rena is right here and she’s just sleeping. She’ll be fine! Don’t let sorrow cloud your face. Be strong.”

Vera glanced at him and her voice laced with endless “I can’t help but feel sorrowful.”

Roscoe embraced her, offering silent comfort.

He chose not to share that he had encountered Joseph at the pharmacy earlier. Joseph was accompanying Aline for prenatal examinations, their lovey-dovey behavior making Roscoe feel nauseous.

Nevertheless, this worked in Roscoe’s favor, as he wouldn’t have had a chance with Vera if Joseph hadn’t been such an asshole.

Roscoe comforted Eloise as well. Knowing that Roscoe was Robert’s cousin, Eloise felt a little uncomfortable.

Eloise, still uneasy, noticed the approaching footsteps from the door.

It was Lyndon and Dahlia, both wearing expressions of deep concern, especially Dahlia.

She was particularly troubled due to Elvira’s arrest.

As Lyndon and Eloise met each other’s gaze, the atmosphere turned tense. Eloise placed Rena’s hand gently under the quilt and said coldly, “Mr. Coleman, what brings you here? Don’t you think your daughter has caused Rena enough harm?”

Lyndon’s eyes fixated on Rena.

She lay motionless as if in a deep slumber.

Eloise’s bitter smile crept onto her face as she continued, “The doctor said she doesn’t want to wake up. Are you satisfied now, Mr. Coleman?”

Lyndon’s voice resonated with determination. “I will arrange for the best doctors to treat her.”

Vera couldn’t help but mock him, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Lyndon, the best thing you can do for Rena is to keep your distance and refrain from provoking her. It’s time you face the reality. No matter how renowned you are, inside this room, you’re just the father of a criminal.”

Dahlia’s irritation grew apparent, and she retorted with a stern expression, “Elvira was simply in a bad mood. She didn’t intentionally cause any harm.”

Vera sneered, her tone turning harsh.

“Elvira vented her emotions by inflicting harm on others? Mrs. Coleman, let me enlighten you—Elvira will face legal consequences.”

Dahlia, maintaining her composure, relied on her status as she stated, “Rena holds a grudge against my daughter because of Waylen, doesn’t she? But really, she hasn’t lost anything significant. I fail to understand her sentimental attachment.”

Lyndon’s voice boomed, “Dahlia!”

Dahlia fell silent. In a gentler tone, Lyndon addressed Eloise, “Rena is my biological daughter, and everyone in the family knows that now. My mother is eager to meet her granddaughter. Mrs. Gordon, I implore you to persuade Rena to accept her heritage. I will take her abroad to receive the most comprehensive music training and make her a world-renowned musician.”

Lyndon believed Rena had inherited his musical talent: She surpassed Elvira in that regard.

Eloise hesitated, torn between not wanting to hinder Rena’s future and the pain caused by Lyndon’s selfish actions.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Vera erupted, her words seething with anger, “Lyndon! Damn you!”

The man’s brows furrowed instantly.

At this moment, Waylen happened to come over. He got the news that Rena was in the hospital, so he came to see her immediately.
