"No. I need to go see Camelia now,"
Belinda said, not caring about what Martin had just said to her.
The only thing that mattered to her right now was to go and see Camelia.
"That's enough!" Martin barked strictly. "Why can't you just stay in bed? Do you want to get hospitalized
for an entire month? You know that you can't go anywhere given your current condition!"
Naturally, he was more worried about Belinda's well-being above anything else, so her stubbornness
was making him a bit angry.
Just a few days earlier, her health had suffered because of all the trouble that Angelina had caused in
their lives.
Even though Belinda had been resting since then, she had not yet fully recovered.
Who could've possibly told her what had happened?
Martin shifted his gaze to Jeremy, his eyes filled with helplessness and annoyance.
"Please listen to me, mother," Jeremy said as he gently pulled Belinda back. "We already found
Camelia, but she's in hospital now. We can go there and visit her as soon as you get better."
"What? What happened? Why is she in the hospital? What happened to her?"
Belinda asked as she tightly held Jeremy's hand. Her face was filled with so much anxiety and concern.
"Don't worry. She's fine. It's just that... well... she's expecting,"
Jeremy said with a hint of slyness.
Even Martin, who had been wanting to drive Jeremy out ever since he got there, was stunned into
silence.
'Did... did I hear that right?
Belinda was going to be... a grandmother?
That would also make me...' Martin's thoughts trailed off as he slowly digested the news.
The couple stared at Jeremy with disbelief.
"What did you just say?" Belinda asked a few moments later. "Did I hear it wrong? Are you saying that
Camelia is pregnant? I'm really going to be a grandmother?"
Seeing his mother's eyes light up with joy, Jeremy couldn't help but beam widely.
"To some degree, yes," he nodded. "The only thing is that you're not going to be a grandmother. You
already are one!"
The first time Jeremy saw Fabio, he thought the child was like a cute, miniature version of Andrew.
He had already liked Fabio at that time, and it was such a rather pleasing surprise when he found out
that he was actually his nephew.
More importantly, he had already met Ashley countless times before. Not once had it ever occurred to
him that she was his biological sister! All this time, his lost sibling had been in plain sight.
"What do you mean?"
Belinda pressed, looking even more surprised than before.
It was just one big revelation after another!
Both Belinda and Martin were in a daze.
"It is what it is. You're already grandparents! For about four or five years now actually."
Martin's mouth was open in shock as he heard this. He had not been able to utter a single word since
the Jeremy told them that they were already grandparents.
Meanwhile, Belinda still couldn't believe what she had just heard!
'I'm...
We have a grandchild? I'm a grandmother?' she repeated in her head.
"Are... Are you really, really sure?"
Belinda just had to ask Jeremy again. Her hand trembled slightly as she tightly gripped his arm.
"Yes. I've visited Camelia today. This isn't like before. I was extremely thorough." Jeremy paused to get
a piece of paper from his pocket. "These are the DNA test results," he said, handing it to Belinda, "I
made sure that there was someone I trusted to keep a close eye on the whole process. The results
have been verified."
Belinda quickly scanned the piece of paper, her eyes widening. "When you get better," Jeremy added.
"I will take you to see Camelia. Okay?"
"I want to see Camelia now,"
Belinda gasped, feeling a bit out of breath.
Hearing this, Jeremy glanced back at his father. Martin was still recovering from the news, but slowly
shook his head in response. "No," Martin muttered, "You have not fully recovered yet."
"I feel fine! It'll make me feel worse if I can't go see Camelia now. Please, Martin... Just let me see her."
"Mom, I assure you that Camelia is fine and she's not going anywhere. Besides, since she's pregnant,
she's asleep most of the time. Even if you go to the hospital right now, there's a good chance that you
might not be able to see her.
There's no guarantee that you'll even be able to get near her."
Of course, when Jeremy said that last part, he was talking about Andrew.
They had been friends for quite some time now, and Jeremy knew what kind of person Andrew was.
"We'll go see Camelia together as soon as you get better. I promise,"
Jeremy said gently.
He had planned to tell his parents what had happened in hopes of making Belinda feel happier and
more relaxed.
It wasn't his expectation that his mother would react this way and insist on seeing Camelia now.
Although Belinda really wanted to see Camelia, it seemed that there was no way Jeremy and Martin
were going to let that happen.
"Okay, you two have to promise me. When I get better, we will go to see Camelia immediately," said
Belinda.
"We promise, Mom. I will take you to visit Camelia and your grandchildren. Don't worry."
When Jeremy came to the hospital to visit his mother, he had planned on staying only for a short time
to tell them the news about Camelia so that he could still go to the company headquarters afterwards.
However, Belinda held tightly onto his hand, asking him all sorts of questions about Camelia. Jeremy
didn't have any other choice but to stay and tell them everything he knew about Ashley.
There really wasn't much for him to tell them. After all, he had only recently found out about Camelia's
identity.
About an hour or so later, Jeremy was able to leave the hospital.
"Here you go, boss," his assistant said as he handed him a bottle of water. "Thank you." Jeremy took
big gulps, nearly finishing the entire bottle.
He didn't realize how parched and tired he was. Despite this, there was still so much energy running
through him.
It was most likely because of the euphoria of finding his biological sister and sharing the news with the
rest of his family.
"Are you going to the company headquarters now, boss?"
After handing the bottle back to his assistant, Jeremy lightly rubbed his eyes.
"Yes," he sighed.
"I need to deal with some urgent matters. It's best to get those out of the way."
'And then, I'll have more time to go and see Ashley, ' he thought to himself.
The idea of getting to spend time with her made him feel more motivated to get his job done as quickly
as possible.
'He sure seems to be in a good mood now.' the assistant observed. 'I can only guess that it's because
of the young lady of the Gu Family.
The last time I saw him like this was when he found Angelina.'
Meanwhile, "Dany, Dany!" Ashley sat up in the bed suddenly with cold sweat on her forehead.
Hearing Ashley's voice, Andrew turned on the light at once.
"What's wrong? Ash? Are you alright?" Andrew helped Ashley sit up.
He couldn't help frowning when he saw the sweat on Ashley's forehead.
"I'm fine... I'm fine," Ashley gasped as she held Andrew's hand.
Feeling his warm hand in hers made her feel a whole lot better.
"It was just a dream about Dany. I dreamt that Cayn hid her. And no matter how hard we tried, we
couldn't find her anywhere,"
Ashley explained in a low voice as she buried herself in Andrew's arms.
"I just don't understand. Why does Cayn have to forbid us from seeing Dany?"
