I rushed to the door and opened it. He immediately got up, just as he had done earlier.
Standing at the door, I hesitated for three seconds. "Is there a cafe in the hospital? I'd like to drink something."
Ronny led me out of the hospital, and we came to the cafe next door.
It was only then did I notice how scattered and brightly lit the surrounding buildings were, though there were not many people
He seemed to notice my doubt and explained, "These are all Mr. Hodds' properties. The private hospital is only one of the projects. There are also business parks, pioneer parks, residential parks, and so on. But they're a bit far away from here.' I did not entertain him. I was not interested in Alex, and his background was irrelevant to me. Therefore, I did not say a word all the way to the cafe.
Ronny made introductions the whole way, and from what he was saying, this was a convenient place to live in although we were far from the city.
Only I was not concerned about these things.
Ronny then habitually ordered two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Hodds told me that you must have a lot of doubts right now and don’t know where to start asking. If you’re unsure, then why don't I explain to you from the beginning?" he tentatively asked.
After waiting for two seconds and seeing that I did not refuse, he began to recount.
"First of all, you need to understand that all the documents you saw earlier are genuine, including the paternity test. But you're right about Mr. Flodds not being Munchkin's biological father."
I frowned slightly. I did not wish he was either, but he would be contradicting everything he just said, no?
"Mr. Hodds and Mr. Mason Lynch are brothers of the same mother."
I never knew that Mason had this kind of family background.
