Chapter 359
Upon hearing this, Frankâs lips curved into a faint smile. His brown eyes fixed on me, and he said softly. yet each word was clear, with a slight rise at the end, âYes, you are Lily, my fiancee.â
It was a confirmation, a declaration
âFrankâ¦â
My thoughts were complex, but a sense of relief arose. Thank you for never, ever giving up on me.â
He was always there when I needed him, finding ways to help even when someone else took my place. Everyone else had abandoned me, but he hadnât.
He took me to a private restaurant near the Shaw familyâs residence.
The waiter led us to a private room.
I realized that the people dining were not just Frank and me.
There was also Flint.
When he saw us enter, Flint suddenly stood up, looking straight at me. The man, nearly 60, was crying.
I saw that he was holding the paternity test report from the foreign hospital.
Flint must have read it.
âMiss Lily!â
Hearing this address, I was startled. It wasnât due to unfamiliarity but familiarity.
I
It felt as if I had been called this way countless times before.
The emotions I had been holding back all morning suddenly broke apart, and tears fell from my eyes. Flintâ¦â
âItâs me!â Flint choked up and wiped his tears roughly. âItâs good that you grew up safely, youâre all grown up now, Iâm so happy!â
*Flint, please sit down. Sheâs still hungry,â said Frank, pulling me to a seat.
Soon, we ordered food.
After the waiter left, Flint composed himself and got to the point. He handed two sealed bags of powder to Frank. âWe did find something, but it wasnât found in Bethanyâs room, It was found in Mrs. Shawâsâ¦â
Upon hearing this, I asked, âIs this⦠polson?â
âIt should be.â Flint nodded, anger in his voice. âItâs a good thing you went to the hospital when you did. Frank stopped me and urged me to search the house thoroughly. If I had gone to the hospital, this stuff would have been destroyed.â
Frank took the items. âDid you catch the person responsible?â
âYes, I caught them and they are now held at the address you gave me.â

âGood.â
âShould I continue to guard them?â
âNo need, you should return to the Shaw familyâs residence.â
Frank served me some cold dishes. âEat while you listen.â
Then he continued, âGrandma is still unconscious. I canât interfere with the Shaw familyâs affairs with my current identity. As for Lily⦠youâve probably guessed. She canât return to the Shaw family for now and will have to wait until Grandma wakes up.â
âBut the surveillance must have caught what I was doing at the Shaw family todayâ¦â
âDonât worry, Iâve already had the surveillance footage deleted.â
âIs there anything else you need me to do?â
âIf thereâs nothing else, keep in touch with the fake Lily still staying at the Shaw family. It would be best if you could find out whether anyone besides Bethany and Mrs. Shaw is involved.â Frank gave his instructions methodically.
was a bit surprised.
From the time Grandma collapsed until now, not much time had passed.
Yet Frank had arranged everything before Bethany and the others could react.
As we ate, I looked at Flint and couldnât help but ask, âFlint, am I really Mrs. Shawâs biological child?â
When I was at the Frost familyâs, I learned how chaotic the wealthy families could be,
The Smith and Shaw families were likely no better.
I wanted to deny such a fact. When I first thought of this question, I hoped most for the answer to be no. Unfortunately, the result didnât grant me my wish.
Flint sighed. âWhen you were born, Madam Shaw stayed outside the delivery room. There shouldnât have been a mistake. Mrs. Shaw might have invested too much emotion in Bethany over the years, which is why things have turned out this wayâ¦â
