Tim was slightly shocked.
"Gabrielle? What is she doing here?"
Nicole suddenly remembered something.
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back."
As she spoke, she hurriedly ran towards Gabrielle.
Tim frowned slightly. He felt that this matter was not simple. He just followed without Nicole's
instruction.
"Gabrielle, how is it? Do you get any results?"
Nicole asked worriedly.
Gabrielle gave the blood test report to Nicole.
"Just like you said, there is indeed an accumulation of chronic toxins in the blood components. It's
really complicated."
Just as Gabrielle finished speaking, Tim ran over.
"What's complicated?"
Seeing Tim coming, Nicole was surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Tim looked at Nicole. His gaze stopped Nicole from concealing it.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just want to say it when we're all here."
Nicole subconsciously hid the test paper.
When Tim saw Nicole like this, although he was nervous, he nodded.
"Alright. Then I'll wait for a while."
He looked at Gabrielle and brought Trevin to the hospital.
Only then did Nicole let out a sigh of relief.
When Gabrielle saw Nicole like this, she whispered, "Haven't you told him yet?"
"I didn't find an opportunity. I'll say that when everyone is here in a while. Ballard will also come. If I
don't say that, I think there are some things that the police will notify them."
Nicole didn't mean that. But it was not good to tell others over and over again.
Gabrielle patted her shoulder and whispered, "It's hard for you. It's not a good thing to say it or not."
"Yes. Tim is keen on face-saving. I don't know if he will collapse after I say it. The incident with Maia
has dealt him quite a blow."
Nicole sighed.
Gabrielle shook her head and said, "You are the only proper one to say that, concerning your
relationship. It'll be worse if it's any other to do it."
"Not necessarily. Because of Maia's death, Tim almost beat me up."
Hearing Nicole's words, Gabrielle was shocked.
"Really? Does Tim love Maia so much?"
"It may not be love. Maia has done so much for him, who is always emotional and loyal, and Maia used
her own life to eliminate the threat to him, which is something that Tim can't exchange for in his lifetime.
Sometimes, he felt stressed because he owed her. Maia may be Tim's calamity."
Hearing Nicole's words, Gabrielle nodded.
"That's right. Everyone has a calamity in the life. Perhaps Maia is really Tim's calamity. When this
calamity is over, perhaps the future will be smooth."
"I hope so."
Nicole took a deep breath and said, "I have to go see how Trevin is doing. This child has been locked
in Maia's apartment and has been hungry for a few days. I promised Maia that I would take good care
of Trevin."
"You can go. Be careful yourself. I have some things to do in the hospital. I'll go back first."
"Alright."
Parting with Gabrielle, Nicole quickly entered the hospital. Then, she followed Tim's instructions and
found Tim and Trevin.
"How's it going?"
Seeing that Trevin was still being examined, Nicole hurriedly asked.
"Nothing serious. He’s a little weak. He just needs take some rest and a nutrition shot."
Tim whispered.
Just as he was speaking, Ballard, Samuel, and the others came, and even followed Jacob behind
them.
"What is he doing here?"
Tim was not very friendly. Without Nicole and Samuel, Tim would have driven Jacob out.
Hearing Tim's words, Ballard couldn't help but say, "He is your brother. Why can't he come?"
"I haven't admitted it. I didn't admit it before, I don't admit it now, and I won't admit it in the future."
Tim's words caused Ballard's expression to cloud over.
"You bastard, you...."
"Uncle Jacob, calm down and talk about it later."
Nicole stopped Ballard in time.
Perhaps it was because of Nicole's identity, or perhaps it was because Samuel was present, Ballard
immediately shut up. Jacob was wearing a long face. After all, it was very sad to be unwelcomed by
others. Moreover, he was an illegitimate child.
"Mr. Green, Mrs. Green, I'll wait outside."
Jacob was about to leave when Nicole stopped him.
"Jacob, this matter has something to do with you. You can stay here. If you still want to leave after
hearing this, we won't stop you. But no matter what happens, we just think that you have the right to
know. We won't change our attitude towards you just because your identity. Do you understand?"
Nicole was really afraid that Jacob would not be able to withstand it. Moreover, she also knew how
Samuel felt about Jacob. After so many years, although the two of them were the employer and
employee, Nicole knew that Samuel treated him as his own brother.
Hearing Nicole's words, Jacob was caught off guard.
"Have something to do with me?"
"Yes, you'll know when you hear it."
Nicole looked at Samuel and saw Samuel nod to her before she took out the phone.
"I accidentally discovered something a while ago. I think it's better to let everyone know about this.
Because my current identity is Martha's biological niece and Tim's cousin, and this matter has
something to do with my aunt Martha, I interfered in your affairs."
When Nicole said this, she glanced at Ballard.
Obviously, Ballard was very surprised.
"You are Martha's niece? How is that possible? Martha was only a child raised by a single parent
family. She was alone. Her mother was our family's maid at that time. I know the best. Her mother said
that she was the only daughter."
Hearing Ballard's words, Nicole was somewhat puzzled, but she felt that Martha wouldn't lie to her, so
she repeated Martha's words.
Ballard was shocked.
"Martha is a child of the Shaw family? How is this possible? I never knew it. I thought...."
"What did you think? When did you really care about my mother? I even suspect the purpose of you
marrying my mother! Without any power and money, she is the daughter of your family's maid and you
married her? Is that true love? You cheated on her less than a year after you got married. Is that true
love?"
Tim's sarcastic words somewhat embarrassed Ballard.
"How dare you judge the matter between your mother and me?"
"Can't I? How many years has my mother been crazy? Did you care about her? My mother has been
living in the beautiful dreams you gave her all these years. What about you? You live a carefree life
with your lover. Do you dare to say that you loved my mother? I really hope that time will flow
backwards. At that time, my mother might even have other choices."
Tim said hatefully.
Ballard had nothing to say.
What should he say?
For so many years, he never went to see Martha. If it weren't for worrying about Tim, perhaps he
wouldn't go back to see her recently.
It wasn't that he didn't want to see him, but he didn't dare. But how would he tell Tim that?
Jacob stood there all the time. He didn't know how he should react to these words. So he didn't react at
all, like a wooden man. As for his thoughts, no one knew.
Seeing Ballard like this, Tim wanted to say more, but was stopped by Nicole.
"Let's not talk about the past anymore. It's better for them to decide on their own feelings. Everyone,
please be prepared for what I'm going to say today. I was really shocked when I heard it."
As Nicole spoke, she turned on the recording of her phone and found the file from it. Then, Cornell and
Bella's voices sounded.
Ballard and Bella had lived together for so many years. How could he not recognize Bella's voice?
Almost as soon as Bella spoke, he held his breath and listened, but the more he listened, the gloomier
his expression became.
Jacob's expression also changed.
From the initial shock, to anger, and to shame.
Everyone remained silent all the time.
Tim's hands were tightly clenched together. If Bella was in front of him, he really wished he could break
Bella into pieces.
After listening to the recording with great difficulty, everyone remained silent. The silence was like an
invisible mountain pressing down on everyone's heart, especially for Ballard.
His expression was unpredictable, turning red and pale, revealing his anger.
She was the woman he had lived with for so many years. Because of her, he even abandoned his ex-
wife. But in the end, this woman colluded with others to scheme against him for his property, and even
wished for his early death.
And the illegitimate son Jacob, who he wholeheartedly felt sorry for, was actually not his son!
How stupid he was!
He had been a fool for so many years, and he had been enjoying it. It was really outrageous.
Ballard immediately looked at Tim.
At this time, he felt that only Tim was his son and the continuation of his blood. He wanted to know
Tim's opinion about it, but unfortunately, Tim did not look at him at all.
Tim looked at Nicole and whispered, "What did Gabrielle give you not long ago?"
"Auntie's blood test report. After I got this recording, I asked Gabrielle to draw some blood for Martha's
test."
"What's the result?"
To Tim, it didn't matter who Bella had an affair with, whether his father was cheated or not, or whether
Jacob was his own brother. The most important thing was his mother.
He just hoped that his mother would be safe and sound.
Looking at Tim's expectant gaze, Nicole suddenly felt that she was so cruel. Although this matter had
nothing to do with her, it was still cruel for her to uncover all of this.
Nicole took out the blood test report from her pocket and hesitantly handed it to Tim.
"You should read it yourself."
Tim took the test paper and his expression immediately changed.
