At that moment, Selena had no idea what to say, while Pierre only remained silent. After all, he couldn’t shake the thought of being rude to Jocelyn in the hospital. More importantly, he was ashamed of himself for publicly calling Jerry an old man. Therefore, he didn’t know how he could face Selena’s family members.
“Are you really my grandfather?”
Jerry shook his head and answered, “I don’t deserve to be your grandfather. I was too old and dumb to see through that wicked imposter and even nearly got you killed. Because of that, I’m ashamed of myself, and I don’t know how I would face your mother if she’s still…”
At that moment, Selena finally understood why Linda kept trying to kill her. No wonder she’s been trying to dispose of me. That was all because she knew my identity and wanted to silence me so that she could replace me.
Jerry then calmed himself down and told Selena the whole story.
In fact, Linda had been devising her ruse when she was in Yucaria back then. She bought the bracelet there but was discovered by Jason in the process. Nevertheless, Linda turned the situation to her advantage by going with the flow as she made full use of her knowledge regarding Selena, leading to the subsequent chaotic events.
“It’s alright, Grandpa. What’s done is done.” Selena took a piece of tissue paper and wiped off Jerry’s tears.
In that instant, Jerry looked at Selena as if he was looking at his daughter. “No wonder you look so much like Ceci. Ceci was a good girl but was somewhat headstrong. Despite being raised in a decent family, she always acted like a boy. I should have known you’re Ceci’s daughter.”
Selena pursed her lips and smiled. “My mom used to tell me that I didn’t have her looks, but I still think she was prettier and more gorgeous.” No wonder many have said that my mother looked so glamorous and graceful in the way she acted. I didn’t know she was from the Murray Family.
“Alright, I need to go now. Your cousin is just done with his operation, so I’m going to check on him.”
“Cousin…” Selena paused for a while before she finally realized Jerry was referring to Jason. “You mean Jason is just done with his operation?”
Pierre then faked a cough, leaving Jerry in confusion about what they were trying to imply to each other. Soon, the old man answered, “Yeah, he was caught in a traffic accident that injured his leg and is now just done with his operation. But don’t worry, his operation was a success. After all, we hired the most famous surgeon in town—Wyatt Spencer.”
