Love And

Chapter 2

Paul couldn’t wait. He called his older brother, Patrick Carter, during office hours and immediately shared the latest news he had. His voice trembled as he spoke.

“Patrick, you won’t believe what I just found out. Get to the hospital, now! You and your wife! It’s urgent, dude!! found my niece! She’s here, at our hospital! Hurry, hurry!”

After saying this, Paul couldn’t sit in his office any longer. He had to go to the ward to see Rebecca.

With this in mind, he hung up the phone and rushed toward the hospital room.

Paul hunt up abruptly, and it only made Patrick more anxious. He wondered if the “niece” Paul was talking about the child they had lost.

Patrick’s mind was full of questions, but before he could ask, he realized Paul had hung up the phone!

Patrick wanted to swear, but it was his own brother on the other end. He knew Paul wouldn’t lie, especially not about something as huge as this.

Thinking about this, Patrick started to feel excited. He couldn’t wait to rush out of his office, calling his wife on the way downstairs.

Debra Phillips‘ mind went blank when she got the call from her husband. Then, a wave of excitement crashed over her. She bolted out of the beauty salon, face mask still on, and jumped into her car, ordering the driver to head to the airport. She was going to Macloria!

Oh my goodness, could it really be their daughter?

Their precious daughter, the sweet girl who had been lost for over twenty years. Had they finally found her?

Sitting in the car on the way to the airport, Debra was overwhelmed with emotions, tears streaming down her face.

That was her precious daughter, her sweet girl!

Debra then suddenly remembered she hadn’t cleaned off her mask. She quickly grabbed some wet wipes and a bottle of water, frantically wiping her face. She had to look decent when meeting her daughter for the first time. She couldn’t afford to scare her!

Not only that, Debra quickly thought of her three sons and immediately called each of them, urging them to go to Maeloria right away. They found their sister!

The three Carter brothers, well–known as three of the four young elites of Hivalis, were thrilled to hear their sister had been found. They immediately dropped everything and rushed out as fast as they could, heading to Maeloria.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the first to burst into the room was Paul.

Paul, wearing gold–rimmed glasses and a white coat, suddenly charged in, startling everyone in the room.

Instinctively, they all turned to look at Paul.

But Paul didn’t stop for a moment or glance at anyone else. He hurried into the room, quickly scanning the area

before rushing over to Rebecca.

Rebecca was startled and instantly got nervous, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn’t help but worry if she

had paid her fees. The last thing she wanted was to owe money for giving birth.

Other patients and their families in the ward couldn’t help but look over, wondering what Paul was up to.

Only after bursting into the room did Paul realize he might have overstepped. The paternity test had been done in secret, and his niece was still in the dark about that and about their connection.

He took a deep breath and looked at the girl in the hospital bed. The longer he looked, the more he saw his brother and Debra, especially Debra. She was practically her spitting image, just younger.

“Becky… No, Rebecca…” Paul almost used her nickname from the Carter family but quickly corrected himself since

Rebecca didn’t know it.

He looked at Rebecca, his tone cautious as if afraid to scare her. “You are Rebecca, right? Do you feel this ward is a

bit crowded? It might not be very comfortable to stay here

“There are better rooms upstairs. If you want, we can move you to a more comfortable room right away.”

Rebecca’s mind went blank as she stared at the obstetrics director in bewilderment. ‘Crowded…?‘

She instinctively glanced around. The room was indeed crowded, packed with several mothers and their families.

Earlier, she’d woken up to them gossiping about her.

VIP rooms were hard to book and usually reserved for people with special status. Could Rebecca really have one?

Paul noticed Rebecca’s hesitation and immediately brightened up. “If you don’t mind, we can get you settled in a new room right away.”

As Paul spoke, he quickly went out and called two nurses over to help. The nurses carefully took the twins while Paul gently helped Rebecca off the bed.

They left the noisy, crowded ward on the second floor and moved to a luxurious VIP room on the fourth floor.

The fourth–floor hospital room was a world apart from the standard ones. It was a private suite, tastefully decorated and ridiculously comfortable.

Best of all, it had a huge double bed. Rebecca could stretch out with both babies right beside her.

“Thank you, Mr. Carter,” Rebecca said as soon as they were settled.

Paul couldn’t take his eyes off his beloved niece, as if he couldn’t get enough of her.

Rebecca felt uneasy under his intense gaze, making her restless.

“Mr. Carter, is there something you need to say?” Rebecca asked cautiously.

Paul quickly shook his head before hesitantly nodding. He looked up at her with a gentle, almost flattering smile.

Soon, he finally realized that Rebecca seemed uneasy. He adjusted his posture, cleared his throat, composed himself, and then carefully took out a paternity test certificate from behind his back, handing it to Rebecca.

Rebecca was confused as she carefully took the document. But as she read through it, her eyes widened in shock!

She quickly looked up at Paul.

Paul couldn’t hold back any longer. He hastily introduced himself, stumbling over his words. “Um… I’m Paul Carter, your dad’s younger brother, your uncle. I’m your family!”

Rebecca’s eyes widened even more in disbelief.

Paul was nervous. He excitedly continued, “Uh… Becky, don’t freak out. Your mom, dad, and brothers are already on their way. They’re in Hivalis, but it’ll take them about three hours to get here. Just wait patiently. They’ll be here soon, I swear.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
