Chapter 1804: Monica's Concerns
The question of whether Monica is truly Rowan's biological sister, and whether she is indeed the princess of Lu Layeka, lingers in everyone's mind. Rowan glanced at everyone and then, turning, strode out alongside Monica. The door closed gently behind them, leaving only three people in the ward.
Tristan appeared calm, but turmoil brewed within him. He approached Algerone, lightly patting his shoulder in consolation. "Uncle, Monica won't leave you," he assured.
Regarding the uncertain matter of Monica's departure, Belinda was at a loss. "Sometimes things are beyond Monica's control. The old king knowing that his long-lost daughter is still alive, how could he not acknowledge her? Even if they forcibly take her back, they are capable of such things."
Silence fell over the room. The power of the royal family was not to be underestimated, as evidenced by Rowan's own forced return.
The thought of possibly losing Monica left both Belinda and Algerone despondent, as if a dark cloud had descended upon them, casting a pall over their faces and dimming their eyes.
Although the results of the paternity test had not yet been revealed, the outcome seemed all but certain. Belinda removed a red bracelet from her wrist, clutching it dearly in her palm.
In the corridor outside, Monica halted her steps, with Rowan stopping beside her. "Where can we get the blood drawn?" she asked calmly. "Can it be done here in the hospital, or do we need to go to a paternity testing center?"
"It can be done here in the hospital, on the 17th floor," Rowan replied. "Come with me." He then led the way forward.
Following him, Monica and Rowan soon entered a private elevator for medical staff. As the doors closed, Monica watched the numbers climb, her anxiety growing. Her emotions were incredibly complex. Rowan cast a sideways glance at her, his eyes still fixed on her face. He had many things he wanted to say, but suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
Before long, the doors opened, and they stepped out.
Meanwhile, the café was being arranged according to wedding planning standards. Pink chiffon bows and strings of lights adorned the walls. Newson was present, overseeing every detail with precision. "We need to reserve space for flowers over there!"
"Yes, and the courtyard needs to be set up as well. It hasn't rained recently, so we can start preparing."
Back at the hospital, Monica was having her blood drawn, her thoughts wandering. She wondered, "Has the wedding venue started being decorated? Does Belinda still have the heart to hold a wedding? Can this still be considered a surprise for her?"
She pondered, "Belinda must be feeling absolutely despondent, right?"
Rowan was also having his blood drawn, his gaze fixed on the girl. He could almost guess her emotions. For someone who valued loyalty and sincerity, her Lu Layeka princess identity didn't matter. The person who would be truly crestfallen was his father.
After they both gave blood, a professional approached them. "Director, the results will be ready in ten minutes. Will you be waiting here?"
"Yes," Rowan replied. "We'll wait."
"Please wait a moment," the professional said, then took the blood samples inside.
Monica returned to reality and noticed Rowan still gazing at her intently. "How is my mother's health? Have you had her examined? Can she be discharged?"
It was surprising to Rowan that she seemed to have no interest in her own origins. Meeting her gaze, she added, "My mother mentioned she has occasional headaches. She asked if Dr. Watson could conduct a detailed examination when he's available."
The mention of the title made Rowan feel somewhat uneasy.
