Chapter 1031
Charles said, "I said! Elizabeth!"
"Yes, you said Elizabeth, and then? What about Elizabeth?" Natalia asked, puzzled.
She picked up her phone to check the time; it was already three in the morning.
This was driving her crazy. She hadn't done anything tonight except take care of Charles.
"Dad, why don't you just go to sleep!" Natalia didn't want to listen anymore.
Anyway, she would be good to Elizabeth and wouldn't target her.
Although she used to dislike Elizabeth, it was simply because Elizabeth was too focused on romance.
Charles suddenly started to whimper. He threw off the blanket, "Why can't you understand!"
He was getting anxious.
Natalia was getting anxious too.
What exactly was she supposed to understand?
He wasn't speaking loudly enough.
"I said, Elizabeth!" he said loudly.
Natalia nodded, "And then?"
"She was adopted too!" Charles said irritably, his voice even clearer.
Natalia's eyes widened instantly. She stared at Charles, what?
Natalia couldn't believe it. She placed her hands helplessly on her legs, not knowing what to do.
Her eyes were dazed, and she was completely stunned.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Are you drunk? You can't just say things like that!"
Natalia quickly pushed Charles, signaling him to go to sleep.
He must be drunk and confused.
How could he talk nonsense like that?
Luckily, he was only babbling in front of her. If he said this in front of Declan or Grant, wouldn't they be furious and kick him out?
"Dad, you can only say this to me when you're drunk. You can't say it any other time." Natalia felt her heart pounding fiercely.
Charles frowned, "I'm telling the truth."
Natalia didn't know how to respond.
Charles said, "Elizabeth was brought back by Declan."
Natalia shouted, "I told you not to talk nonsense!"
Up to this point, Natalia still thought Charles was talking nonsense because he was drunk.
Until Charles said, "They had a child back then, who died young!"
Natalia's hand trembled.
"Really?"
Charles nodded, his head resting on the headboard, drowsy. As he spoke, he started to cry, "It was too painful."
Natalia stood frozen in place.
So, Elizabeth wasn't Declan's biological daughter.
Elizabeth was adopted.
She and Elizabeth were both adopted?
She couldn't believe it. This was actually true. The Percy Family was hiding such a big secret.
Oh my God.
"Dad, who else knows about this?" Natalia asked blankly.
"Only me, your grandparents." He answered hesitantly.
Natalia swallowed.
The family all knew.
"Natalia, Elizabeth doesn't know." Charles grabbed Natalia's arm, as if entrusting her with something.
Natalia looked at him and immediately understood.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't say anything. If you can keep this secret, so can I. But." Natalia looked at Charles worriedly.
He had said it at home while drinking. What if he said it outside while drinking?
"Dad, you can't drink recklessly outside. Even if you drink too much, don't talk nonsense. If Elizabeth finds out, how sad would she be?" Natalia's eyes were filled with worry.
