In fact, Raeleigh did not fully believe the results of the blood test. There were too many doubts about it, but her attitude towards Xanthus changed that instant.
Raeleigh sat in the car. Xanthus said, "I'll send you back, buy some fruits, and visit your grandmother along the way. You're pregnant, and you should pay more attention to it. You shouldn't work too hard. You've been exhausted these past few days."
Raeleigh slightly raised her head and looked at Xanthus, who was in the driver's seat in front of her, and remained silent. Recalling memories of her being abandoned in an orphanage since she was a child, Raeleigh felt an indescribable sorrow in her heart. If no one had died, if the fire had never happened and everything had been normal, then it was alright for people to find a little girl they had lost years ago. However, she could not calm down. Although she was eager to prove that she was neither Jepherson's sister nor the child of the Richards family, and the result proved that she and Xanthus were siblings, she could not see things the way they used to be.
Raeleigh slowly turned around and looked out of the window. She began to feel impetuous. Thinking that Xanthus had travelled a long distance to find her and at the thought of his mother, Raeleigh developed complex emotions and felt uncomfortable.
However, she wasn't completely sure of that matter and how she should face all those sudden changes.
According to the information, she had been sent to an orphanage. How could she have been from around here? It did not make sense at all.
Raeleigh kept quiet because she was uncertain about what was going on.
Xanthus smiled. "I'll explain the situation to Jepherson. We met outside by accident, so I'm just sending you back and visiting your grandmother."
Xanthus' considerateness made it difficult for Raeleigh to reject his offer. Moreover, she then had an indescribable feeling for Xanthus.
"No one knows that I'm out, but I left a message for Serra, hoping that they won't be worried," Raeleigh answered from the back seat as her emotions were muddled up.
Xanthus chuckled. "It's fine."
Raeleigh took some time before answering, "How do you know that I'm really busy these days?"
Was he keeping an eye on her?
"When one cares about a person, one will know whatever happens to her." Xanthus was amused and laughed cheerfully, with Raeleigh staring at him in a daze.
Xanthus gradually withdrew his smile. "Although I look like Dad, your facial features are similar to Mom's, along with other aspects as well. You can observe me carefully to see if there's anything similar between the two of us to confirm our relationship."
"I know that you're introverted. This is a result of our family's inherited genes."
Hmm...
"My studies are pretty good. Since I started school, I've always obtained full marks in all subjects. I've been on academic scholarships since I was a child."
I'm similar to Dad in this aspect. Mom's studies are so-so, and they're not as good as Dad's. Dad excels in everything."
Raeleigh pursed her lips. She did not know what to say, so she did not say anything. Xanthus was really conniving, avoiding her question like that, albeit he had given her the answers she wanted...
Raeleigh thought for a moment. "How did you manage to find me?"
"That's easy. After I discovered that you were sent to this orphanage, I immediately came here from abroad and searched for every information about the orphanage."
"After all, it happened a few years ago. You're now nineteen, and that incident happened when you were ten. It was not too long ago, so it was not difficult for me to obtain the information. What's more, there were many previous files in the orphanage. I checked the household registration and paid a visit to the person responsible for it."
"Although those from the orphanage are all gone, some are still alive. Some prominent individuals were the same children who grew up in the orphanage. The information I found is authentic and accurate."
