Chapter 1826
Tina came to Bill's ward.
Before she came out of the elevator, she kept a very indifferent and meaningless attitude. But when she reached the ward, she felt nervous and subconsciously clenched her fists. The door was not closed. She knocked and walked in.
Bill was sitting by the head of the bed, while Lin was sitting on the chair next to him, cutting fruit for him.
Seeing her, the couple was stunned at first and then excited.
Lin quickly stood up and said, "Miss Hall, you're here!"
Tina nodded.
Lin walked up to her and happily said, "Come in and sit down! I'm right. Miss Hall will definitely come!"
Tina came to the front of the bed.
Bill's eyes were fixed on her from the moment she came in. He was both happy and excited.
Lin wanted to give them some space, so she found a very thoughtful excuse. "I'll go to get some cotton lots. You can talk!"
When she left the ward, she closed the door gently.
For a moment, both Bill and Tina were a little embarrassed.
Bill had too much to tell her.
But at this time, all his words were piled up on the tip of his tongue. He did not know where to start.
Tina broke the silence. "Chairman Amery, are you feeling better?"
Hearing that she called him Chairman Amery just like before, Bill felt a sense of loss in his heart.
But he was already mentally prepared.
Such a thing happened so suddenly that even he still felt like he was in a dream, let alone Tina.
"Im okay. It's just a slight concussion!" Bill shook his head at her with a smile. After a pause, he said in a tone of uncontrollable excitement, "Actually, I had been very nervous since Lin went to find you last night. I was afraid that you wouldn't come. I'm really happy to see you now!"
Tina lowered her eyes slightly.
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Chairman Amery, I came here to know something from you in person."
Bill nodded with understanding.
He looked at the window beside him. His eyes drifted far away, as if he was recalling what had happened many years ago.
Bill told Tina everything.
At that time, he was young and vigorous. He ran away from home, and then worked in a small company, where he met Ovia, who was independent and beautiful. He told Tina all the process of their story. They fell in love at first sight, loved eath other passionately, but broke up sadly.
With different identities and backgrounds, as time went on, they always had disagreements in life and eventually lost to reality.
The sadness in Bill's eyes surged out. He said to Tina in a hoarse voice, "I didn't know until yesterday that Ovia was not married after we broke up. She gave birth to you and chose to raise you up alone!" Tina was silent.
Thinking of what the man said yesterday, Bill looked more painful. "I think she didn't want me to know your existence at that time, so she lied to me on purpose, so that I wouldn't disturb her anymore. She drew a clear line between us!"
After hearing this, Tina nodded thoughtfully. "I understand!"
She sat upright on Lin's chair, but in fact, she was a little stiff.
She was trying hard to digest it.
For so many years, in Tina's mind, her father had passed away. After all, she was no longer a child. She was already an adult and didn't need her father's love that much. Now she just wanted to figure out the truth.
Bill turned to look at her.
Tina looked very similar to Ovia. When he looked at her face, it was as if he saw young Ovia. He felt more and more depressed.
Bill looked at her and whispered, "When I saw you for the first time, I thought you were the child of Ovia and another man. Your surname is Hall. I confessed my love to Ovia at the Hall Lake. Later, we had dated many times there. Hall... I should have guessed it long ago!"
Tina was stunned.
She didn't know until now where the surname came from.
She had always thought that it was her father's surname.
In this way, or to some extent, her mother still cared about Bill.
Bill's eyes were full of sincerity, and there was even sparkle tears in them. "I know. This is too sudden. You can't accept it now. I'm sorry. I know it too late. I failed to fulfill my duty as a father. I feel very guilty and self-blame. Can you give me a chance and let us recognize each other?"
Tina's hands curled up hard.
Her lips twitched.
Just as she was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open. "No, I can't agree!"
The door was slammed against the wall, making quite a loud noise.
Tina turned around and saw an old lady in her 70s, supported by Abby. Her hair was slightly grey and there were two deep lines on her cheeks. At this time, her face was full of anger.
Her facial features seemed to be somewhat similar to Bill's.
However, her temperament was completely different. Bill was handsome, refined, and very kind. However, this old lady was not kind at all.
When Bill saw Old Madam Amery barging in, he sneered and said, "Mom, what are you doing! Besides, we are in a conversation. How can you break in like this? At least knock on the door first, right?" Hearing how Bill call her, Tina was even more certain of her identity.
After all, she was an elder. Tina stood up from the chair.
However, Old Madam Amery deliberately ignored Tina and even snorted in disdain as she passed by.
She strode to Bill, threw a stack of newspapers onto the bed, and said, "Don't be so busy blaming me. Look at what's written here! Your illegitimate daughter has created a sensation!"
Although Bill was shocked, he said calmly, "There's no smoke without fire. What's more, it is telling the truth!"
The newspaper fell to the ground.
Tina lowered her head and picked up one page.
Seeing the news, she was also shocked and her eyes were full of dismay.
Seeing this, Old Madam Amery was very angry, with her lips curved downwards. "You're so stupid!
You can't even see through such an obvious conspiracy! Lin met her last night, and the news came out early in the morning. It is very clear. We are all framed!"
Tina immediately understood what she meant.
She realized that the old lady misunderstood that she concocted the news.
Tina felt ridiculous.
She had just seen the news.
Tina stood straight, frowned, and clarified for herself, "Old Madam Amery, you seem to have made a mistake. These things have nothing to do with me!"
