Chapter 312 He is the person Serene brought
Sarah felt a bit helpless. What was happening recently? Everyone seemed to want her as their daughter.
The doctor nodded. "That seems to be the case for now. However, this condition fluctuates, so it would be best to explain it to him when he wakes up."
"Daughter, would you like me to wash an apple for you?" Kevin held Sarah's hand and looked at her affectionately, appearing as a caring father.
Sarah sighed. At this point, it seemed like this was all she could do...
"I'll wash it for you and even peel the apple skin." Sarah smiled, trying to act the part since she was pretending to be his daughter. "Wait for me, Dad."
Sarah's naturally spoken "Dad" surprised even herself. She hadn't anticipated being able to get into the role so quickly.
But Serene, who was standing nearby, looked furious.
She never expected things to develop like this!
If only she hadn't allowed Sarah to come to the hospital with Antonio in the first place!
But now that the situation had already unfolded, there was no way around it. If she refused or forcefully separated the two, wouldn't that potentially worsen Kevin's condition?
Serene forced a smile, her eyes turning red as if she were genuinely worried about her father's condition. "Sarah, I'm counting on you then."
"No need to thank me. I'm not doing this for you," Sarah replied coolly.
Holding the apple, Sarah walked out without even glancing at Antonio.
Once Sarah returned, a smile immediately appeared on Kevin's face.
"Come sit here, daughter. Let me see if my precious girl has gained weight recently." Holding Sarah's hand joyfully, Kevin said, "Oh, you haven't been resting well lately, have you? Your face looks thinner."
"Of course. You need to recover quickly so you can cook delicious dishes for me. Otherwise, I'll continue to lose weight," Sarah joked with Kevin while sitting on a chair, and peeled the apple.
"That won't do. How can my daughter work so hard? My darling cannot continue to lose weight like this."
"Look, did your daughter peel the apple skin well? They're all in a string."
"Excellent! You truly are a child of the Jerrett family." Kevin affectionately rubbed Sarah's head and said, "The more you grow, the more you resemble your mother."
A warm feeling filled Sarah's heart. She thought that her father's touch must have this warmth, too.
Antonio, who was watching from the side, unconsciously smiled. He had never seen Sarah like this before. He would have believed that Kevin was his father-in-law if he didn't know the truth.
He couldn't help but wonder if Sarah would be just as amiable if she found her biological father. That would be enough as long as it wasn't the unreliable drunkard.
On the other side, Serene tightly clenched her fists, glaring at the two loving father and daughter, consumed with hatred.
'Sarah, you just never give up!
'I've tried my best to be on guard, but I still couldn't prevent it...
'I can't let things continue like this. Otherwise, my secret will be exposed!
'Your father, and everything you possess, will be taken away from you!'
The doctor nearby nodded approvingly, "I never expected Lady Gu and Mr. Jerrett to have such harmony. They seem just like a real father and daughter. This is very beneficial for Mr. Jerrett's recovery. When the mood is better, everything else improves."
A disease like senile dementia truly required attentive companionship.
Serene couldn't hold her anger any longer. She narrowed her cold gaze and quietly left the ward. She then took out her phone and dialed an unsaved number.
"Victor Edwards, why haven't you achieved what I asked you to do yet?"
The voice on the other end was filled with clamor and the noise of dice and people cursing.
And the one answering the phone was… the drunkard who claimed to be Sarah's biological father that day.
"Oh, Ms. Jerrett, this matter can't be rushed. It needs time, doesn't it?"
Victor leisurely looked at the dice in his hand. He wasn't just a drunkard but also a gambler.
Serene gritted her teeth. "Tell me what you need. Money is not an issue. Sarah has plenty of it. If you can fool her, you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. As long as it's done, I won't mistreat you either."
"With Ms. Jerrett's assurance, I can rest assured that this matter will be quickly taken care of."
After Serene hung up, she adjusted her facial expression before reentering the ward.
Her plan was to find someone to confirm Sarah's biological father's identity. Sarah would no longer have any delusions!
…
The doctor had already left the ward, and Kevin was starting to feel drowsy.
After all, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and engaging with Sarah had exhausted him.
Sarah patiently soothed Kevin to sleep, finally relieved.
She thought she couldn't hold on for much longer, but unexpectedly, she managed to chat with Kevin for so long, as if there were endless topics to talk about.
At this moment, Serene approached, gently rubbing Kevin's head and letting out a deep sigh. "Sarah, you've worked so hard. I truly don't know how to thank you. My father's illness has no end in sight, and I've been causing trouble for you. I really feel guilty."
"No need to be so polite."
Sarah couldn't stand Serene's weak demeanor any longer and decided to take her leave.
Upon witnessing this, Antonio naturally followed suit. After all, the two of them had spent a whole day and night without speaking. Serene, being polite, also accompanied them out. However, none of them anticipated that someone would seize Sarah as soon as she reached the ground floor...
