"Connie, what are you doing?!"

Betty hurried over, glared at Connie, and said, "The Dickens family is in such a situation because ofyou. How dare you ask Christina to..."

If it weren't for Connie's crazy nonsense this afternoon, Donald wouldn't have been so angry that hesuffered an attack. Thinking that Donald was in danger, Betty was more anxious.

"What I said is all true."

Connie raised her chin as if to hide her guilt. She deliberately raised her voice, "Betty, you know I'mnot lying. Check Donald's medical record. His blood type is O. Your sister Mary has type B blood. ButChristina, her blood type is Rh-Negative."

"And you, Betty, you're not married at such an old age because you like your brother-in-law...""Enough!"

Betty was ashamed and cried in a rage.

Connie was a little agitated. She turned her head, tried to slow her breathing, and stopped.Christina looked at Connie, and she always thought Connie was hypocritical. Connie clopped in highheels. The echo of footsteps on the clean floor running down the quiet corridor.

"Christina, actually I..."

Betty saw Connie leave and reached out to grab Christina. Betty was a little flustered and wanted toexplain, "It's not like what Connie said..."

Christina lowered her head and said with sarcasm, "I just checked my father's medical record. Hisblood type is indeed O. It turns out that he has been lying to me. I thought we had the same bloodtype.”

"Christina, listen to me. Donald..."

Betty didn't know how she could comfort Christina, "Donald is a good person.” Betty finally said hewas good.

"My sister and I do not look alike. I am not ugly but no one said I'm beautiful. But my sister isdifferent. She has beautiful appearance. A flawless complexion, slender figure... She's like a perfectdoll. Coupled with her piano skills and amazing temperament, there were many men pursuing her.But in the end, she chose to marry Donald, a poor boy with an ordinary family background...”"Before my sister met Donald, she had already met a lot of very outstanding men. One of them wasthe eldest young master of the Hopkins family, Victor.” Betty deliberately paused.

Christina looked at Betty in astonishment.

Victor was Patrick's father.

Betty noticed Christina's panic and shook her head. "Don't think too much. In fact, it's not acomplicated story. Victor was in bad condition. I heard that Senior Mr. Hopkins spent a lot of moneyto keep him alive. But after all, Victor was the only heir in the Hopkins family, so many women stillwanted to marry him."

"Victor and my sister had been together. But at that time, Victor was married and had a child. Mysister said that Victor was her true love so she would wait for him to divorce and then marry him. Iwas very opposed to her being a lover, but I didn't dare to mention it to my father... A year later, mysister said that they broke up. I was relieved since our Eisenhower family allowed no one to keepsuch an affair."

"I don't know if my sister and Victor really loved each other, but it was always been my sister whodumped other men. After that breakup, my sister was depressed for a long time. She spent half ayear in the bar..."

"Until one day, my sister told me that she was pregnant.”

Betty's face was a little gloomy. "I asked her who was the father, but she said she didn't know. Shehad sex with several unknown men when she idled the days away and got drunk in the bar..."Christina froze for a moment. She lowered her head slightly and clenched her hands into fists."Your grandfather and I knew about this, so we immediately sent someone to investigate. But mysister had been fooling around in different bars for the past six months, and we really couldn't replaceout who the man was... We only confirmed that Victor was not the father. After the breakup, mysister didn't contact him. Besides, Victor was not in good condition, and even his son was born inthe United States after he got the IVF fertility treatment.”

Christina did not speak. She looked down at her reflection. It turned out that Patrick was a test tubebaby.

Betty looked at Christina“s beautiful side face. She looked like her sister Mary as she grew up.

"The reason why I object to your relationship with Patrick is because of these old grudges.”

When Betty first heard about Christina's relationship with Patrick, she was furious. Why did they getinvolved in the Hopkins family's affairs again?

Betty admitted that she was selfish and prejudiced against the Hopkins family.

At that time, Victor got married and had a child, but he was still with her sister. Betty didn't know ifthey broke up because Victor knew that he was not in good condition and let go of her sister, orbecause Victor chose his wife and child. Anyway, the Eisenhower family hated the Hopkins family.

If it weren't for that embarrassing affair, her sister wouldn't have gotten pregnant by accident, andshe wouldn't have had such a ridiculous ending.

"Donald was born poor, but he never felt inferior. Working for your grandfather, Donald was highlyvalued by him. Donald's character and ability to work were praised by your grandfather. Donald hadmet my sister a few times, and he probably didn't dare to say that he loved her. However, my sisterwas five months pregnant when she realised it. The doctor didn't recommend aborting the child.Your grandfather wouldn't allow her to do so. Donald said that he wanted to marry my sister. Hewould take care of the child as his own, and would love her for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, Christina sat down.

She was expressionless. From time to time, she glanced at the ICU. Donald was there, and was indanger.

Betty sat next to her. "Christina, you may think that Donald is not a good father. But I think he hastried his best. On the day you were born, he was very happy. He never retorted and always doted onmy sister. Although your surname is Dickens rather than Eisenhower, but others always thought hegot ahead because of the support of the Eisenhower family. He was under great pressure.”

"In the years when my sister had just married Donald, she had maintained a warm relationship outof her feelings for everything Donald had done. But it was not love. The warmth between them hadfaded over time. My sister had filed for divorce several times in private, but Donald had refused ittime and time again.”

"Their conflicts had been worsening. However, one day, Donald took Connie back to the Eisenhowerfamily and said he wanted a divorce. My sister might feel embarrassed and unwilling to get thedivorce..."

Christina suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Betty's complicated expression with herclear eyes. "Since my mother initiated a divorce before, if they were not suitable, why didn't they getdivorced..."

"Because your grandfather didn't allow his granddaughter to grow up in a broken family.”

Betty told the truth that Mary didn't get divorced because of Christina.

Christina compressed her lips. Mixed feelings welled up.

She knew that her grandfather loved her very much and certainly did not want to make her sadbecause of her parents’ divorce. So her grandfather even made up many lies to cover the truth.

"So it's all because of me..." Christina looked at the cold floor of the hospital and was in a daze. Hervoice was hoarse and she muttered, "Why did you give birth to me?"
