Chapter 454 Don't Even Think About Taking My Father
"Vivienne is Cecily's mom, but her dad's a mystery. Her last name's Watson."
"Freya, haven't you heard about the Bennett family's real and fake daughter drama?"
"Cecily and her supposed dad did DNA tests; they're not related at all. Seriously, you can check."
Freya had heard about this before; it was true.
So, back then, no one knew who Cecily's dad was.
Vivienne and Bryan were married, so Cecily could be Bryan's real daughter.
Fear flashed in Freya's eyes, and she collapsed onto her bed.
Since she had been with Bryan for so long, she knew how much he wanted his own kid. Even the love he showed her was meant for his biological child.
If Cecily was Bryan's real daughter and he found out, Freya, who wasn't even adopted, would be tossed aside.
Plus, Bryan knew she had hurt Cecily; she almost killed his real daughter. If he found out, he wouldn't just abandon her.
Freya trembled.
Jennifer was dead, and Bryan was all she had left.
She couldn't lose Bryan.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she got.
How could Cecily be Bryan's real daughter?
"Freya, do you believe me now? I was really worried about you, so I rushed over to tell you. I wouldn't say this if I hadn't heard it myself."
Aurelia kept talking, trying to convince Freya.
When Aurelia saw Freya's face, she looked at Olivia, unsure if Freya believed her.
Olivia smirked.
Seeing Freya's panic, she knew Freya believed it.
"Freya, you need to get it together. Otherwise, Cecily will take everything from you. Bryan's been your dad for years; why should he be Cecily's dad? Right?"
Freya gritted her teeth.
Hadn't she lost enough already?
Why should Cecily take what belonged to her?
Olivia added, "Seeing you like this breaks my heart. Cecily killed your mom, and now she's taking your dad too."
Olivia shook her head helplessly.
"No way, I won't let this happen. Bryan is my dad. She can't take him!" Freya shouted hysterically.
Olivia and Aurelia exchanged a smile.
As they expected, Freya couldn't stay calm after hearing this.
Olivia held Freya's hand and patted it gently.
"So you need to recover quickly. Before they tell Bryan, you need to think of a way to fix this."
Freya bit her lip, looking at Olivia's sincere expression, and the look in her eyes gradually became determined.
She couldn't just fall apart now. Bryan was her dad and only hers. Cecily wasn't taking him away.
"What are you all doing here?" Bryan asked, walking in and seeing Olivia and Aurelia by Freya's hospital bed.
Freya's face still showed traces of anger and fear.
Olivia and Aurelia felt a bit guilty when they saw Bryan. Olivia stepped forward.
"Mr. Whitaker, you're back. We saw the news last night and got worried about Freya, so we came to check on her."
Bryan looked at Freya, who nodded. "Dad, Aunt Olivia and Aurelia came to comfort me."
Bryan frowned. Every time Olivia and Aurelia visited, Freya would lose control, so he didn't want them around her anymore.
But Bryan didn't say anything when he saw that Freya was in a slightly better mood . "You need to rest and not move around."
Freya nodded obediently. "I know, Dad."
"Since Mr. Whitaker is back, we'll leave now. Freya, rest well and don't overthink things. Some things will pass if you let them go," Olivia said, patting Freya's shoulder.
"Okay." Freya forced a smile. "Got it, thank you."
As Olivia and Aurelia left, Aurelia looked worried. "Mom, do you think Freya will tell Bryan what we just said?"
"No, she's not that stupid. She'd rather Bryan never find out."
"I'm relieved."
The room went quiet. Freya looked at Bryan, and tears started to fall again.
Bryan stepped forward, concerned. "Why are you crying again? Did they say something to you?"
Freya bit her lip and shook her head, looking at Bryan with teary eyes. "Dad, my mom is gone, and you're my only family left. Will you ever abandon me?"
"Silly child, don't overthink things." Bryan handed Freya a tissue.
Freya looked at Bryan, her eyes full of anxiety. "Will you?"
"No, you'll always be my daughter. I promised your mom I'd take good care of you, so don't worry."
Freya relaxed a bit when she heard Bryan's reassuring words and managed a small smile. "Thank you, Dad."
In the Fitzgerald Manor living room, the atmosphere was tense.
Josep returned, his gaze shifting from Owen to Darian and Cecily, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
Walking over, he asked, "Dad, what's so urgent? Darian, you're out of the hospital already?"
Owen glanced at Josep. "Come and sit."
Josep had a bad feeling when he saw Owen's expression.
"Where are Olivia and Aurelia?"
Josep replied, "Aurelia is close to Freya. Since Freya just lost her mother, Olivia took Aurelia to the hospital to see her."
"Call them back, immediately."
Seeing Owen so serious, Josep glanced at Cecily and Darian sitting nearby.
Unfortunately, Darian and Cecily never showed their emotions, so he couldn't read anything from their faces.
