Chapter 3

Half a month passed, and Richard and Victoria came together to pick me up and take me back to the Miller family home.

During those two weeks, they had been incredibly diligent in their visits. Victoria, especially, acted as if she wanted to move into the hospital with me.

Victoria constantly introduced me to the Miller family members, telling me I had two older brothers and an older sister.

An older sister?

Before they even found me, I already had the Millers all figured out.

After all, I was the one who had that paternity test delivered to their doorstep.

The Millers only had one daughter. The so-called sister was Isabella, the girl they had raised for seventeen years.

Isabella, huh. What a precious name.

A smile involuntarily curved on my lips.

Victoria thought I was happy to hear about them and went on to talk about the three siblings.

It was always her talking, and me staying silent.

She asked about my life for the past seventeen years, and I remained silent.

But when she mentioned how excited my two brothers were to meet me and how well they would treat me, I finally spoke. My eyes lit up as I looked at her, asking with a mix of anticipation and caution, “R-really?”

Liam Hayes had never been stingy with his praise for my acting skills.

Watching Victoria’s delighted expression, I wholeheartedly agreed.

She smiled, and I mirrored her, my fingertips unconsciously tracing the blanket covering me.

If they truly welcomed me, why hadn’t they bothered to show their faces even once in two weeks?
