"Everly has gone from an ugly duckling to a swan. She probably won't ever come back."
"I saw on her TikTok that the Chime family plans to open a clinic for her that will be affiliated with Reinland Hospital. She's going to be a boss now. Why would she come back to work here?"
"No wonder she was so excited about Jessica's visit..."
Isla and Sarah's discussion reached Wayne's ears, and his face fell.
"Are you shocked too, Mr. Chime?" Nicholas teased.
Wayne shook off Nicholas' hand. "Don't call me that! I have nothing to do with the Chime family!"
Seeing him angry, Nicholas sheepishly turned to Hera. "Oh, so you knew they weren't siblings? Is it a trend to have biological and adopted daughters?"
Hera was speechless. She had merely been trying to mess with the Chime family in front of Marcus. She never expected them to play along, turning her words into reality. Everly's actions were particularly beyond Hera's expectations. She didn't just switch jobs, she changed her entire identity.
Hera didn't know whether Everly and Wayne were biological siblings. But judging by Wayne's sour expression, it seemed the news had caught him off guard.
"Wayne, have you and Everly ever done a DNA test?" Hera asked.
"No." Wayne shook his head.
Back in his hometown, such things had never crossed their minds. However, he firmly believed Everly was his sister because he had seen their father bring the midwife to their home to help their mother deliver Everly.
There was no way Everly could be part of the Chime family!
Wayne stood up and grabbed his car keys before storming out.
