Chapter 160 No Kinship
"Mom, what do you want me to do?" Natalie asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Don't conflict with Ms. Cullen. Avery has spoiled Ms. Cullen, but her nature is good. When she was young, she even shared her favorite snacks with you."
Natalie didn't understand why Rosalie gave her such instructions. She helplessly thought that Rosalie's was too kind.
Rosalie had been like this since she was a child.
"I got it, Mom. Please rest well," Natalie said.
Rosalie closed her eyes, and Natalie watched the fluctuating lines on the monitor as she leaned by the bed with her eyes closed. She wished she could stay with Rosalie all the time.
Rosalie had clearly undergone a kidney transplant.
Just a week ago, Rosalie was improving, so why did her condition suddenly deteriorate?
It must be Avery causing trouble!
Natalie had been constantly yielding and enduring. She had already been very humble in front of Avery, but Avery still didn't spare her and Rosalie!
Rosalie's breathing was weak, but with the help of the machine, her breathing was relatively stable. Natalie stayed in the ward for a while before leaving.
Back home, she found the iron box in her wardrobe as Rosalie had instructed, and inside was a diamond pendant.
The pendant was of a very ordinary style.
Could this pendant help her to ask for help from Mr. Cullen?
Natalie carefully put away the diamond pendant and prepared to go out. Following Rosalie's instructions, she went to find a man named Jerry Allen at the address she was given.
Just as Natalie was about to leave the house, her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. "Hello."
"Is this Ms. Teeger?"
"Yes."
"You previously submitted hair samples for DNA testing at the identification center with another person. The results show that you have no blood relationship."
"What did you say?" Natalie felt like she couldn't even hold the phone steady. "Are you sure? That's my and my mother's hair!"
"Ms. Teeger, we don't make mistakes in this. You indeed have no kinship."
A buzz sounded in Natalie's ears.
She and Rosalie had no blood relationship?
How could that be?
As Natalie listened to the words on the phone, she gradually felt weak all over.

The cemetery.
Natalie placed a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone, bending down to tidy up the weeds around the tombstone. "Dad, could they have made a mistake?
"How could I not be your and mother's daughter?
"It must be a mistake by that identification agency!"
But even when she tried to match with Rosalie, it didn't match.
Why?
Who was her mother?
Was her father Stanley?
Natalie was confused.
For several days in a row, Natalie came to the cemetery every day, spending time there in front of her father and brother's tombstone.
This morning, when Natalie arrived, she saw a bouquet of carnations placed in front of the tombstone.
Who had come?
In Natalie's memory, besides her, no one would come to see Ryan and Stanley.
"You must be Natalie, and you are all grown up now."
A slightly weathered voice suddenly came from behind.
Natalie turned around and saw a middle-aged man, slim in stature, wearing a plain black tracksuit. He looked young, but his hair was already gray. She politely said, "Hello."
"Are you a friend of my father?" Natalie had come here almost every few days for many years, and this was the first time she had met someone who came to visit Stanley.
"Well, it's embarrassing to say, for so many years, I haven't been able to come and visit Stanley. I'm really ashamed." The middle-aged man said, "My name is Jerry Allen, you can just call me Jerry."
Jerry Allen? Could he be the Uncle Allen that Rosalie mentioned? "Do you know my mother?" she asked.
"I've known your parents for a long time," Jerry replied.
"My mother said that my father and brother's deaths were not accidents, and only you know the truth."
