Chapter 1802: Tristan Arrives Too
Watching the girl walk out of the bookstore, Bertie's smile faded from his face, leaving him somewhat absent-minded. How could this girl make him feel a sense of familiarity? She was all the way in Arkpool City, and he was quite certain he hadn't met her before, yet she felt like an old friend, someone he had known for years.
In the advanced facilities of the hospital, outside Belinda's ward, Tristan walked in as Algerone had just hung up the phone, and he noticed Rowan was also present. As Tristan stepped in, he sensed a distinctly unusual atmosphere, something was off.
"Uncle, Aunt, Dr. Watson," he greeted everyone softly, his gaze gently sweeping over each person, breaking the silence.
Belinda, sitting by the head of the bed, lowered her eyes, her expression heavy. She couldn't fathom whether Monica, upon learning her true identity as Princess Lu Layeka, would still hold the same thoughts and not want to acknowledge it. The Lu Layeka royal family was the wealthiest and most prestigious in the world. Many people dreamt of being associated with them. As a mother, she definitely didn't want to lose her daughter, even though there was no blood relation, she had raised and cared for her.
However, the current situation made it impossible to keep this a secret for long, and Monica would soon find out. Thus, Belinda was in a state of turmoil.
Tristan looked at Rowan with confusion and then shifted his gaze to Algerone. "Uncle, is there... something wrong?" he asked.
Algerone, with a troubled expression, contemplated before speaking, "Monica is very likely to be Dr. Watson's long-lost sister," feeling it necessary to inform him in advance.
Upon hearing this, Tristan's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at Rowan! His inner being was filled with shock! The two men's gazes met, once rivals, now...
He saw a firm resolve in Rowan's eyes, although there hadn't been a paternity test, he was already certain. The feeling of finding his sister grew stronger within him. Silence filled the ward, everyone lost in their own thoughts, their feelings quite complex.
When Monica returned to the hospital, she urged the driver to hurry, feeling more and more uneasy. It was just a check-up, and her father was there, so why did he insist she return? Besides, Belinda's condition was stable, and the test results should be good.
The taxi rushed towards the hospital as she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong.
Inside the spacious and bright ward, Rowan took out the red string bracelet that belonged to him, identical to the one on Belinda's wrist. He handed it to Belinda.
Belinda reached out slowly to take it, feeling its weight. Her eyes still filled with disbelief. Two identical bracelets.
Rowan shared the story of his sister's disappearance with everyone, and they were all deeply shocked. Algerone recounted the circumstances of meeting Monica that day, which left Rowan deeply pained... human traffickers were truly despicable.
With a heavy heart, Rowan said, "Even though so many years have passed, we never stopped looking for our sister."
As he finished speaking, Monica burst into the room, startling everyone with the sound of the door opening. Belinda instinctively grasped Dr. Watson's red string bracelet, her chest tightening as she gazed at him intently.
"Mom..." Monica glanced at everyone, then approached the bed. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Belinda forced a slight smile on her face, she looked fine, recovering quite well. She felt that this was not something she should say, she couldn't even bring herself to say it.
