The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 328

In Freysland.

Marcia took Arnold to a hospital, and in the ICU lay a woman.

Arnold furrowed his brows, and asked, "This is your accomplice?"

Was she kidding him?

Marcia whispered, "Arnold, look closely. Who is she?"

Arnold couldn't tell. This was a strange, deathly pale face with a terrifying burn scar on her neck.

The woman saw him, reached out, and grasped his hand, "My little Arnold has grown up. You are so handsome, just like your father."

A jolt of shock swept through Arnold's heart. He abruptly pulled his hand away. "Who are you?"

"Arnold, she's Magnolia, your mother," Marcia said.

Arnold's eyes widened in disbelief, "That's not possible. My mother died years ago."

Marcia sighed heavily, "The woman who died in the explosion was actually your mother's twin sister. Your mother survived but was disfigured by the fire. If your father saw her like this, he'd be horrified and wouldn't love her anymore. So, she's had to pretend to be dead for all these years. That way, your father could always remember her and continue to love and protect you."

Arnold was dumbstruck, unable to believe what he was seeing or hearing. He saw the birthmark on the woman's arm, identical to his mother's.

"Dad's been gone four years. Why did you only show up now?"

"Magnolia is very sick and needs a bone marrow transplant. But she has a rare blood type and it's hard to find a donor," Marcia began to choke up.

Magnolia coughed weakly, "I'm sorry, Arnold. I know you've suffered a lot. I was always watching over you. I wanted to be with you every day, but the only way to keep you safe was for me to pretend to be dead. I couldn't let you get hurt."
