CHAPTER 216: IT'S FATE 

By noon, Precious had completed a series of tests.

Wendy was about to take her to the ward to rest when she saw Reese in the distance rushing in.

"Reese..."

Wendy was hugged tightly by Reese.

"Reese, why are you here?"

"How dare you ask me that? Why didn't you tell me? I have been worried sick for the past two days.I tried to call you, but I couldn't get through.I called the landline of Ensfield, but no one answered.I didn't know you and Ray are here until my boss called Mr.Oliver."

'Ryan?' Wendy glanced at Ryan.

"I told her you and Ray are here."

"Wendy, don't blame Mr.Oliver.I was worried about you and Ray."

Reese let go of Wendy and looked at her from top to bottom with a critical eye.

"You've lost weight.Why are you here? Did you fall ill because of those horrible scandals?"

Reese gritted her teeth and hissed angrily.

"That scumbag, Ruben! He only wants to destroy you.Don't worry.I won't let him succeed.Wendy, I will show the world his true colors.And in that way, I will prove your innocence."

At that moment, Wendy realized that another person was standing next to Reese.

It was a man.He looked to be in his thirties.He wore a black robe with embroidered eagles.He had black boots on his feet.His hair was messy.

However, he had a handsome face with a calm and gentle temperament.He was fair but didn't look feminine at all.His eyebrows were dark as a raven's wings, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

This man had a strong aura, just like Ryan.

But there were noticeable differences between them.

At a glance, anyone could tell that Ryan was a daunting and serious person.

This man, on the other hand, looked gentle and amicable.

However, deep down, he was shrewd and astute.

One could see the cleverness in his eyes.

Wendy's eyes flashed with surprise as she asked, "Reese, who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, sorry.I forgot to introduce him.Wendy, this is my boss, Brandon Edwin!"

Then she turned to look at Brandon and said, "Sir, this is my sister, Wendy."

"Nice to meet you, Wendy!"

"Nice to meet you!"

'So he is the famous Brandon” Wendy thought in surprise.

Brandon was well-known.

But since he kept a low profile, very few people knew what he looked like.

Wendy and Brandon greeted each other by shaking hands.

When Wendy had been assessing Brandon, he was doing the same to her.

'She is so fair and beautiful.Her features are exquisite.She has a charming aura, but yet her eyes are clear and innocent.No wonder there was worry in Ryan's voice when I spoke to him over the phone''

"Mr.Edwin, I've heard so much about you."

Brandon nodded gently and said with a polite smile, "Likewise.Reese mentions you quite often."

"Thank you for taking care of my sister."

"The pleasure is all mine."

'What?' Wendy was confused.

She looked at Reese and found that her ears were red.

The relationship between Reese and Brandon seemed strange.

'Hmm, this is interesting.I think I know what's going on'' Wendy smiled as she figured out something.

"Wow! Mommy, this gentleman is so handsome," Precious said in awe.

She then moved closer to Brandon and whispered, "Your clothes look good as well."

Brandon smiled and offered her the jade pendant that was hanging from a belt around his waist.

The jade was a translucent white it was obviously very expensive.

"Since this is the first time we've met, I'll give you a small gift."

Precious turned to look at Wendy.

Wendy hesitated and said, "Well, it's too expensive."

"It's just a stone.Please don't refuse, since the child obviously likes it."

Wendy looked at Ryan.

He looked at Precious, nodded, and said, "Take it."

"Thank you, sir."

Precious happily took the jade pendant.She had always liked to collect shiny things.She collected mostly diamonds and gold pieces.

This was the first time she had been presented with a jade pendant.

She looked at it and thought, 'It is so pretty'' Reese noticed that Precious addressed Wendy as her mommy.She mischievously looked at Wendy and then looked at Ryan.

From the way Reese looked at her, Wendy knew that she must have misunderstood something.

"Since the two of you haven't seen each other in a long time, why don't you catch up? In the meantime, Mr.Oliver and I will talk shop," Brandon suggested.

"Okay!"

Reese immediately grabbed Wendy's hand and pulled her away.

It was as if she was running away from something.

After turning a corner, she heaved a sigh of relief as she stopped feeling that affectionate gaze on her back.

Wendy looked at her with a faint smile.

Reese blushed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Brandon is just my boss!" Reese spoke in a hurry.

But Wendy thought it was more like a confession since Reese was too eager to explain.

Wendy smiled mischievously.

"I didn't say anything."

Reese was speechless.

Wendy chuckled and took Reese back to the ward.

"So, tell me!"

"What do you want me to tell you?"Reese sat on the sofa with a red face.

"I really have nothing to do with him.He is the boss, and I am his assistant.Anyway, that's enough about me.What's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"

"It's Ray, not me!"

Reese was stunned.

Only then did she realize that she hadn't seen Raymond.

"What happened to Ray?"

Wendy poured Reese a glass of warm water and sat down beside her.

She didn't want Reese to know or worry about Ray, but now that Reese was here, she would find out sooner or later, Wendy hid the part that Raymond had been kidnapped by Josie. She only said that he was diagnosed with leukemia.

He had somehow hurt himself, which was bad for his condition, so he had to come to the hospital.

And she also told Reese about Raymond's father.

Reese's expression changed drastically, as she took it all in.

After Wendy finished telling Reese everything, the room filled with silence.

Reese was stunned for a while.

"Reese..."

"Wait! Wait! Let me get this straight.Wendy, are you saying that Ryan is Ray's biological father and Precious is your daughter, and that Precious and Ray are twins? You were drugged by Eris four years ago.And the person who had sex with you that night was Ryan and not the male stripper?" Wendy nodded.

Reese was overwhelmed by the truth.

'Oh my God! This plot is so fascinating.This is wild, even for a soap opera''

After being confused for some time, all Reese had left was happiness.

She pushed the glass away, turned around, and grabbed Wendy's hand.

"Wendy! This is good news!" content rights.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh my God! God favors you.In the past, I thought that Ryan likes Ray because he loves you.Now, I realize it is just the nature of father and son.And you, you don't like children much, except Ray.But you like Precious a lot.This, too, is the connection between mother and daughter.I think it's safe to say that I'm glad that the man who had sex with you four years ago was Ryan.And since you and Ryan like each other, the situation has really turned in your favor."

"Reese, I..."

Wendy wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel a little awkward!"

"Silly girl!"

Reese hugged her happily.

"Why are you feeling awkward? The man you like is the father of your children.It's fate."

Outside, Ryan and Brandon were about to enter the room when they heard Reese's words.

Ryan's eyes softened.

'Yes! I was right to treat Reese nicely.From now onwards, I will have to treat her even better!”
