Chapter 1513
If what Julien said the previous night was true... That the man who slept with Vanessa was him, then Julien was indeed, Lawrie's biological father. He and Lawrie were father and son, so there was a high probability that their bone marrow would be a match.
Moreover, Julien had been staying in the hospital these days. The doctors would measure his body temperature every day and give him a regular physical examination, but Vanessa didn't really pay much attention to it. She thought that he was just doing a regular check-up.
Her third reasoning was also the most important one. Julien had said that he would support Vanessa in treating Lawrie's illness. This surgery day was the most important! If Julien were not lying in the operating room as Lawrie was, why else would Julien be absent?
The above reasons were enough to prove that Julien was the donor that had refused to meet with her.
Once she managed to sort her thoughts, Vanessa took a deep breath and looked up at Karen Joy. She said lightly, "Julien is not on a business trip. He is lying in the operating room. If my reasoning is correct, he should be Lawrie's donor."
Vanessa was a smart person to have figured all this out in such a short time. Karen Joy was not surprised at all. She rubbed Larry's little head and gave in, "Vanessa, you two have been dating for so many years. You should know what kind of person he is better than I do."
"Yes, we have been dating for so many years. I should be very clear about what kind of person he is, but I still misunderstood him time and time again. I thought he was not going to come today," Thinking of how she always thought negatively about Julien, Vanessa wanted to give herself a hard slap on the face.
If it wasn't for that fact that she always saw Julien in such a negative light, she would have figured out that Julien was the donor a long time ago. She should have realized the truth when the doctor had told her he had found a match and Julien suddenly appeared by her side. Yet, because of her own bias, the possibility never even crossed her mind.
These days, Julien had been emphasizing that she should not be afraid. He would accompany them and would never leave them. He even said that he would be where Lawrie was while during Lawrie's operation... Despite all the hints he dropped, she still misunderstood him and thought that he prioritized other things over Lawrie's operation.
If she really knew Julien well as Karen Joy had said, she would not have so many doubts about him. She would have fully trusted him when he said he would be here and would never miss such an important event like Lawrie's operation.
Since Vanessa had already realised everything, Karen Joy no longer needed to hide her purpose of coming to the hospital. She revealed, "Julien told me that his bone marrow was compatible with Lawrie's. Today, since he was going to have the surgery with Lawrie, he was worried that you would be afraid and alone. So, he asked Larry to come with me to accompany you."
Julien had probably guessed that Vanessa would start overthinking if she had to wait outside the operating room alone, so he asked his most trusted person to accompany her. Even now, he was still thinking about her. Vanessa bit her lip upon being reminded of his concern and all the suspicions she had towards him. She took a deep breath again to calm down and said, "Mrs. Collins, thank you to both you and Larry for coming to accompany me."
"You don't have to thank us, I brought Larry here because of Julien. I just wanted to let you know that I will support whoever my brother likes. My family will also welcome you, no matter what background you come from."
Karen Joy was indirectly telling Vanessa that regardless of Vanessa's child, as long as Julien liked her, the Kyle family would accept her nonetheless. Of course, this was not just Karen Joy's personal wish. Her mother had also asked Karen Joy to take good care of the Kyle family's future daughter- in-law.
Vanessa was dumbfounded.
She never expected the wealthy Kyle family to be so down to earth. They seemed very warm and she really wanted to befriend them. Levi and Larry were both like that. Even though this was their first time meeting officially, Karen Joy seemed similar as well.
Perhaps, all the members of the Kyle family were this nice too... Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Karen Joy continued, "Julien grew up to be a cold child. He doesn't speak much, but he knows his family well and takes relationships very seriously. Although he doesn't really know how to sweet talk, he is always sincere."
"I know... The problem is me..." Vanessa had always thought that the problem was just her. It was not until Julien had confessed everything to her last night that she knew that it was not just her, both of them had their own problems. They had failed to communicate with each other properly despite the love and concern they held for each other. This caused a misunderstanding on both sides.
Karen Joy smiled and said, "Vanessa, in life, you will come across many people. However, the chance to meet someone you truly love who loves you back is very small. So when you do come across that special someone, make sure you grab hold of the opportunity and don't let it slip away."
"Thank you for your advice, Mrs. Collins. I will remember what you said today, and I will never make the same mistake again in the future," The opportunity had come, and no one wanted an opportunity to slip away from their fingers. At the same time, there were many other factors to consider besides herself.
For example, if Fiona had not purposely set her up all those years ago, there would not be such a big misunderstanding between her and Julien. If that didn't happen, they would not have been separated for so many years.
"You still address me as Mrs. Collins...
Honestly, I prefer to hear you call me by my name," Karen Joy grinned wittily and patted Vanessa's shoulder as she said, "But I won't rush you now, I will wait until you're ready. Also, Julien doesn't want you to know he's in surgery right now. You're smart, so I'm sure you know why even if I don't explain."
"Yes, I know," Vanessa knew that the reason why Julien hid it from her was because he didn't want her to feel bad or pressured. But now that she knew...
Karen Joy said happily, "Vanessa, I know that no matter what I say, you may think that I am speaking for him, but I still have to tell you that Julien really loves you. He loves you so much that he doesn't hesitate to give up everything for you. I honestly think that he loves you more than us, his own family members."
Vanessa always knew Julien's feelings for her, but she didn't think it ran as deep as Karen Joy had said. She was afraid that Karen Joy would misunderstand, so she scrambled to explain their relationship to her, "Miss Kyle, don't misunderstand, it's not like that..."
"Vanessa, listen to me first. I am telling you all this with no intention to embarrass you, not to express my discontent. I just want to tell you, our whole family will like whichever girl my brother loves. My mother even asked me to pass you a message. If Julien is lucky enough to marry you, she will love you as dearly as she loves me. She will never allow you to be mistreated in the Kyle family," For Julien's happiness, Karen Joy quickly told Vanessa so. She was worried that once the surgery was over, Julien would not allow his family to get close to Vanessa. If that happened, Karen Joy and her mother's message would not get to Vanessa's ears.
They really liked Vanessa. She was a lovely girl, and they really hoped that she could be part of their family...
