Chapter 542 Will Never Know Who the Biological Parents Are? (4)
Was it really like Louisa said? Had she caused her father's death and brought trouble to the Evans family?
But she wasn't even her father's biological daughter.
Why had John treated her so well for over twenty years?
Better than he treated Pearl?
Countless questions and confusions tangled in her mind like a web, almost driving her to the brink of collapse.
After a long while, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and James slowly walked in.
Seeing Jessica sitting dazed on the bed, his heart ached. He walked over and pulled her into his arms.
Jessica leaned quietly against him, greedily soaking up his warmth.
James looked at her with concern and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened today? Your colleague said you left work early this morning. Where did you go?"
Jessica, feeling like she had found a safe harbor, didn't want to hide anything from him. She sobbed, "I'm not my parent's biological daughter. I'm not part of the Evans family."
James was stunned, unable to process what she had just said.
He asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? Explain it to me."
Jessica said in despair, "I went back to the Evans family today. My grandmother told me. She had said it before, but I always thought she was just angry. But after thinking about it for a long time, remembering how she treated me and Pearl differently, I realized she was telling the truth. She wasn't lying to me!"
James finally understood.
No wonder so much had happened today. No wonder Jessica had suddenly broken their plans and returned looking so distraught.
He held her tighter and asked softly, "What are you thinking now? After all, your parents are gone."
Jessica, choking on her tears, said, "Dad was so good to me. I always took pride in being his daughter. I never thought I wasn't his child. But now, they suddenly tell me I'm not their biological daughter. Who am I? I want to know, who am I?"
James thought for a moment and said, "Calm down, Jessica. Whether your grandmother is telling the truth or not, even if she isn't lying, I have to ask you: is finding your biological parents really that important to you? Do you want to know your origins to find family, or just to satisfy your curiosity?"
Jessica was taken aback and shook her head. "I don't know. This is all so sudden. My first instinct is to figure out my origins."
James nodded and said, "Then let me ask you this: how did your parents treat you growing up? Was there any difference compared to biological parents?"
Jessica said firmly, "They treated me very well. My parents loved me just like any parents would, selflessly and fearlessly."
James smiled patiently and said, "So, if that's the case, why are you so hung up on your biological parents? In your heart, your dad is already your real father. If his spirit knew you were troubled and anxious over this, I think he would be heartbroken too."
His few words made Jessica see things.
Yes, John had always treated her as his daughter. Obsessing over biological ties was the greatest unfairness to John.
