Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The issue regarding the DNA test could not be mentioned in front of Old Madam Barker, so Samantha looked up at her and said in a very natural tone, “I’ll take this call outside, Grandma.”

Old Madam Barker nodded. “Sure, go ahead.”

Samantha got up and walked out of the ward before gently closing the door.

She walked toward the end of the corridor where no one was around and answered the call. “Have you gotten the results, Chelle?”

Samantha could not help but feel a little nervous after asking that.

She had no idea what the result was, but she hoped that Timothy was an impostor, because then he could no longer pretend to take on that persona if his true identity was exposed!

“Yeah. I told them to expedite it and I just received the results,” Rochelle replied.

“What’s the result then?” Samantha subconsciously held her breath.

After waiting for a few seconds, Rochelle’s solemn voice said, “They’re a ninety-nine percent match with each other.”

Rochelle’s tone was somewhat heavy and she was unwilling when she said that. “Although there might be some errors in the results because it was done in a rush, it’s almost certainly a match.”

Samantha was so dumbfounded for a moment that she did not know what to say at all.

In other words, Timothy was genuine and there was no one pretending to be him.

The result disappointed Samantha tremendously.

Rochelle could not help but sigh deeply after seeing Samantha’s silence.

“I don’t understand it at all. I get that people change, but can a person’s character really change that drastically?”

Samantha could only feel a slight chill down her spine as she spoke in a stiff voice, “Maybe…he was just pretending before.”

‘Maybe…he never once showed his true nature in front of me.’

If that man was the real Timothy, then the problem would be much trickier.

She had yet to find a breakthrough that would enable her to deal with him for the time being, but Timothy was strangling her and left her almost on the verge of death. Regardless of how she looked at the situation, it was a game that she was bound to lose.

Rochelle seemed to sense Samantha’s powerlessness across the phone and could only comfort her. “Take it easy, Sammy. We can think of a way. There will always be a way!”

Samantha smiled reluctantly. “Okay. We’ll think of a way.”

After hanging up, she stood by the window and looked at the sky outside.

The weather was quite pleasant that day and the sun was shining brightly. A few rays of sunlight fell on her body but she felt no trace of warmth. Her entire person seemed to be in a cold place.

It was not easy for Matthew to regain his spiritedness and be willing to speak again. With him being kidnapped, she did not know if it would cause his illness to relapse and whether he would become autistic again.

Just thinking about it, even for a little bit, made her so anxious that she wanted to bear his suffering in his stead.

She clenched her hands, which hung on both sides of her body, and raised her head slightly to take a few deep breaths. She did her best to restrain the sourness in her eyes and suppressed all her uncomfortable emotions before turning around and returning to the ward.

She sat back in her seat and smiled at Old Madam Barker as she said, “Let me continue reading the newspaper to you, Grandma.”

Old Madam Barker glanced at her face, and although her expression was as natural as before, the old lady could still keenly sense that something was not quite right with her emotions.

‘What’s going on here?’

Old Madam Barker asked, “Forget about the newspaper. Why don’t you tell me what happened to you?”

“It’s nothing,” Samantha replied quickly.

The old lady sighed and stretched out her hand to take the newspaper away from Samantha’s hand. She said bluntly, “Young people like you only talk about the good stuff instead of the bad. There’s no point in hiding it now that I’ve noticed. Look at me, I kept it all to myself and ended up hurting myself. It’d be better to say it out loud.”

Samantha lowered her eyes and pursed her lips silently.

Old Madam Barker did not force her. She just looked at her and asked tentatively, “Who was it that called you earlier? Is it that disloyal Timothy?”

Samantha shook her head. “No.”

Old Madam Barker did not believe that. “Even if it wasn’t him, it must have something to do with him! Why else would you be looking so lost earlier!”

Samantha was speechless and could not refute the old lady’s words.

Old Madam Barker’s brain worked like a charm whenever she was not sick or in pain.

Samantha kept quiet and Old Madam Barker continued without taking any offense. “Timothy asked someone to pick you up yesterday because he wanted to talk to you about the divorce, right?”

Samantha could not help but look up at her.

In hindsight, the old lady’s brain did not just work like a charm—it had an IQ that was practically above that of average people.

Old Madam Barker knew that her guess was correct and was silent for a while. She then said, “Sammy, you haven’t answered the question that I asked you yesterday.”

‘Yesterday?’

She quickly tried to figure out what it was and remembered that Old Madam Barker asked her whether she was unable to get over Timothy.

Samantha did not answer at the time because she did not know how to explain Matthew’s existence.

Like the previous day, she could not offer any answer as well when she was posed that question.

She could only remain silent.

Old Madam Barker was under the impression that Samantha acquiesced. “You don’t want to divorce Timothy, do you?”

Samantha was silent even until the very end.

It would be better for Old Madam Barker to misunderstand than to be told about Matthew. If Matthew’s kidnapping and uncertain fate at Timothy’s hands were made known to Old Madam Barker, Samantha was afraid that the old lady’s heart would not be able to bear it and she would collapse from the provocation.

She could not afford to take that chance.

Old Madam Barker looked at her pitifully and stretched out her hand to gently touch Samantha’s head. “Silly child.”

She wondered how that brat received such good fortune to receive such undying love from a good girl.

Then again, it was probably for the same reason that she had been so fond of Samantha for ages.

Samantha’s feelings were genuine and pure.

It was much unlike Harmony who always seemed to have something to hide.

Old Madam Barker then held Samantha’s hand, patted the back of her palm, and said, “Sammy, I’ll help you achieve your wishes.”

Samantha was surprised and looked abruptly at the old lady. “Grandma, you... What do you mean?”

Old Madam Barker opened her lips and said firmly, “If you don’t want a divorce, then don’t do it.”

“What?” Samantha was really confused.

Old Madam Barker’s remarks might still carry some weight if Timothy was very filial as he was in the past and did not go against the old lady’s wishes.

Unfortunately, how was she going to stop Timothy from divorcing Samantha when Timothy had since turned a deaf ear to her words?

Samantha could not help but hold Old Madam Barker’s hand and say worriedly, “Grandma, what are you going to do? Don’t fight Timothy for me.”

She did not want the old lady’s life to be threatened for her sake.

Old Madam Barker smiled mysteriously. “Don’t worry. I have my way.”

Then, she picked up her cell phone and made a call.

The other person answered quickly and Ronald’s surprised voice came. “Old Madam? Is there something wrong?”
