"Do you still remember Laura from the cemetery two months ago?” Henry gently stroked her hair.
Yvonne trembled a little and got up from his arms." Laura? 8-she's my biological mother?"
"Yes, I asked the Frey couple and they told me about i t." Henry nodded.
Yvonne grabbed his collar and her body couldn't help trembling. "No wonder... No wonder I was so emotional when I saw Laura’s tombstone. It turns out that she's my mother..."
"Would you like to hear her story?" Henry lowered his head and asked.
Yvonne sniffed and sobbed, "Yes."
"Okay, I'll tell you, but I don't know much."
"It doesn’t matter. Just tell me everything you know," Yvonne said.
Henry hummed and began to tell Laura's story. "Your mother fell in love and got married when she was young. Then, the two of them started a business together. After the business improved, your mother became pregnant with you."
"Then?" Yvonne looked at him, waiting for him to continue talking.
Somehow, she felt what he said was very familiar.
She seemed to have heard the story somewhere.
Where was it?
"Then..." Henry’s face turned cold. "Then your biological father cheated with a college student who was sponsored by your mother. When your mother found out about it, she ran away angrily, but she was hit by a car that ran into her on purpose. After knowing that your mother died on the spot, the driver left her there and ran away. It's the Frey couple who passed by and saved your mother and you."
"So I wasn't abandoned by my biological mother?” Yvonne's eyes widened and she was surprised.
Henry nodded. "Yes, you're not abandoned, but she just couldn't raise you because she passed away a few days after you were born. The Frey family took the money that your mother left and they thought you were from a wealthy family. So they've been raising you, thinking that your family would bring you back someday."
"I see..." Yvonne buried her head in his arms and wept with joy.
Henry patted her back. "The reason why I haven't told you about this is that I haven’t figured out how.
Mainly because I don't want to make you sad."
"So you lied to me saying that Laura's an important relative to me?" Yvonne hammered his chest.

"So you lied to me saying that Laura's an important relative to me?” Yvonne hammered his chest.
Henry held her moving hand and squeezed them. "I didn't lie to you. She's really important to you!"
"Y-You’re full of nonsense!" Yvonne glared at him.
Then, she thought of something and her face became gloomy. "Now that I know about my biological mother, what about my biological father? Who is he?"
She didn't expect her biological father to be a scumbag!
He cheated when her biological mother was pregnant with her.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Unexpectedly, Henry didn’t answer frankly this time. Instead, he asked a question.
Yvonne felt uneasy. There was a moment where she wanted to shake her head and say that she didn't want to know.
But in the end, her rationale kept her. She took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, a man who cheated when his wife’s pregnant isn't someone kind, but he's my father anyway. Even though I hate him, I still want to know who he is!"
