Chapter 337 Half-Brother
The three of them were completely shocked, not expecting Abigail to suddenly wake up.
Gregory was the first to recover, walked up to Abigail, and put his arm around her shoulder as if nothing had happened. "Abigail, why are you awake? You should go back and rest."
Abigail brushed his hand away and looked at him suspiciously. "Are you hiding something from me? Be honest."
Gregory's thin lips parted, just about to say no, when Abigail continued, "I noticed something was off earlier. If you don't tell me, then don't come into this room again."
Hearing this, Gregory panicked a bit.
He grabbed Abigail's slender hand, holding it tightly in his palm. His usually calm and composed face now showed signs of anxiety and worry.
"Abigail, don't ask now. I'll tell you when you're better, okay?" Gregory asked.
Abigail shook her head firmly. "I'm almost better now. Keeping things from me will only make me worry more."
The veins on Gregory's forehead throbbed violently, and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
He didn't want Abigail to suffer any harm, which was why he chose to hide it.
But he respected Abigail's wishes. This matter concerned her mother, and no one could make the decision for her.
Not even him, her husband.
Henry and Quinn opened their mouths, wanting to stop him, but Gregory's glance silenced them immediately.
"Honey, let me help you back to the room. This isn't the place to talk." Gregory helped Abigail back to bed, raised the bed frame to the most comfortable angle for her, and placed a pillow behind her.
After doing all this, he sat back down by the bed and spoke up. "Honey, what I'm about to tell you might be hard for you to accept, so you need to be mentally prepared."
This was the first time Abigail had seen such a serious and solemn expression on Gregory's face, and she guessed the gravity of the situation.
She nodded lightly and agreed. "Don't worry."
After getting Abigail's response, Gregory signaled to Quinn, who understood and immediately stepped forward, taking a document from his suit pocket.
The paper was folded neatly, with almost every edge and corner symmetrical, reflecting Quinn's meticulous personality.
Abigail's slender fingers held the two sheets of paper, and her heart suddenly ached, as if something was reminding her of something.
But before she could think more, she opened the two sheets directly.
Two paternity test reports: one for Abigail and Quinn, and the other for Abigail and Caius.
When her eyes fell on the last line, a string in her mind snapped.
[Abigail Martin and Caius Worthington's paternity test shows a 99.99% probability of a direct blood relationship.]
Abigail was stunned, unable to react for a long time, her hand holding the paternity test report trembling slightly.
Her face, already pale, became even more so, looking quite frightening.
Gregory was terrified by her appearance and quickly leaned over, holding her in his arms, his large hand gently stroking her hair. "Abigail, are you okay? Don't scare me, please? I know it's hard for you to accept, which is why I chose to hide it from you temporarily. Honey, just say something, please? If you're sad, just cry. I'm here."
Abigail, as if she had lost her soul, leaned against Gregory, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly, but she still didn't speak.
Henry and Quinn were also scared.
They exchanged glances, their eyes full of worry and tension. But more than that, they felt regret.
They wished they could slap themselves. If they had known it would come to this, they wouldn't have spoken carelessly!
After a long time, Abigail finally came to her senses.
She lifted her head from Gregory's arms and looked at Quinn. "When did you find out?"
Quinn answered truthfully, "Two or three months ago."
At that time, he wasn't very sure, so he secretly took Abigail's drinking glass when she wasn't paying attention.
To be absolutely certain, he also found an opportunity to pick up Abigail's hair.
He then had the most professional medical team conduct two DNA tests.
The results confirmed his suspicion: Abigail indeed had a blood relationship with him.
However, they were not biological siblings; they were half-siblings.
Besides, Quinn's mother had died many years ago, and Caius was practically non-existent.
The reason he cared about Abigail was that he had always wished for a kind and gentle sister during his childhood.
Unfortunately, that wish had never come true.
He even thought that if someone as kind, gentle, and lovely as Abigail had been by his side during his painful experiences, everything might have been different.
Abigail bit her lip, her gaze falling back on the paternity test report. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, puzzled, "How did you find out we were related?"
Two or three months ago, the photo incident hadn't been leaked yet, and she had never thought she wasn't David's biological daughter.
How did Quinn know?
Quinn glanced at Gregory and said, "It starts with the previous generation."
Abigail looked at him, leaning against Gregory, listening quietly.
More than 20 years ago, Caius had not yet become the heir to the Worthington Family. He had stayed in Aramore for a while to discuss business.
After returning from Aramore, he became distracted and even canceled his engagement to Calliope Rainier, the heir to the Rainier Family, claiming he had found true love.
Darwin was so furious that he fainted on the spot and ordered Caius to be locked up.
At that time, Caius was young and rebellious, full of defiance, and naturally refused.
However, the Worthington Family had a group of soldiers who were loyal to the heir.
Caius fought ten men alone, was severely injured, and was eventually locked up by Darwin.
