Chapter 1700: Chapter 1710

After hearing this, Ariana said, “I actually woke up once and saw the woman in the ice coffin.

Was that Emilia?”

“Yes.

” Holden nodded.

“She’s been dead for over twenty years.

”

After a moment’s silence, Ariana remarked, “It’s incredible how Moss managed to preserve her body so perfectly for so long.

”

In fact, there was another thing that had happened in the metal house.

Moss had revealed that Ariana was his biological daughter.

After some contemplation, Holden chose to conceal this from Ariana temporarily.

The Fredrick Group was still investigating this, and it would be more appropriate to tell Ariana about this once everything was clarified.

Ariana, feeling weak, failed to notice the fact that Holden was thinking about this.

In a soft voice, she inquired, “Where are the children? How were they during my coma?”

“They are well,” Holden replied, tucking her in and then unexpectedly smiling.

‘s

Ariana, curious about Holden’s smile, mirrored it and asked, “What has made you smile?”

“The findings of Adele’s background and the results of the DNA test are out.

” Holden looked at Ariana and said, “The hospital fire five years ago was intentional.

Adele is your daughter, our child.

”

Hearing this, Ariana became emotional.

Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but her hoarse voice prevented her from saying anything more.

She could only cry with a smile to express her happiness.

It turned out her daughter was alive and by her side all along…

Holden gently wiped away her tears, leaned down to ki*s her, and, sensing her thoughts, said, “The children missed you greatly during your coma and often visited you.

Just yesterday, Adele and Melon were at your bedside, calling for you.

”

“I…” Ariana struggled to breathe, managing to say to Holden, “I want to see the kids…”

As soon as she finished speaking, her breathing became erratic, as if she were being suffocated.

She inhaled but couldn’t exhale, her eyes reddening.

“You just woke up.

Stay calm,” Holden urged, gently patting her back to soothe her.

Noticing she still wanted to speak, he anxiously interjected, “Alright, I’ll ask Devin to bring the children over now.

”

After receiving the message, Devin quickly arrived at the ward with the two children and then waited outside, respecting the family’s privacy.

“Mommy! Melon cried as he entered the room and saw Ariana awake.

He ran to her, sobbing, “Mommy, I thought you didn’t want me anymore… I missed you so much.

”

“Don’t cry…” Ariana tried to lift her hand to wipe Melon’s tears, but she was too weak.

She could only whisper, “I’m sorry, Melon.

Mommy made you worried… From now on, I won’t.

.

At that moment, Holden took a tissue to wipe Melon’s tears, squatted down, and tried to comfort him, saying, “Don’t cry.

Your Mommy just woke up and doesn’t have the strength to wipe your tears.

She’ll be uncomfortable if you cry.

”

Hearing this, Melon stopped crying.

Determined not to make Ariana worried, he forced a smile and said, “Okay, I won’t cry.

”

However, it was difficult for children to conceal their emotions, and Melon’s forced smile looked more sorrowful than his tears.

Ariana slowly blinked and noticed Adele standing behind Melon, looking at her with anticipation.

“Come here…” Ariana beckoned to Adele in a trembling voice.
