Chapter 2105

Byron and Kyra stood in utter shock, unable to speak.

They had not foreseen the sweeping changes that followed the car accident.

Bennett was aware that Bella and Stella had been apart for ages, braving countless trials to reunite.

With so much time gone by, the truth was hard to lay out all at once.

Suddenly, a memory sparked in Stella’s mind.

She faced the trio before her and inquired, “How did you come to know about my ties to the Lowell family?”

Bennett offered an apologetic look.

“I’m sorry.

I took some strands of your hair and had my team run a paternity test.

”

Stella remembered snagging her hair on Bennett’s brooch just outside the restaurant the previous day.

She understood Bennett’s urgency in locating his kin, having taken similar steps herself to identify her mother.

She bore no ill will toward Bennett.

Yet, she harbored some reservations.

Breaking the silence, Stella declared, “I would like to take the paternity test again.

”

She was Matthew’s wife, and prudence was necessary in certain matters.

Stella went on, “Mr.

Lowell has always believed I’m the person he has been searching for.

I worry he might be too hasty and slip up.

”

She spoke in vague terms, using soft language, yet it was clear to everyone that she feared Bennett was fabricating stories to validate his doubts.

Byron understood her wariness.

Given that they were dealing with a “family” they hadn’t seen in nearly two decades, anyone would naturally hold some doubts.

Byron nodded in agreement.

“Being cautious is wise.

If you have concerns, we should double-check.

”

Kyra chimed in, “We’ll honor your concerns and have Matthew redo the paternity test.

You seem to trust him more.

”

A brief silence enveloped the room, leaving Bennett feeling slightly uncomfortable.

He then addressed the older couple.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’ll drive you home first.

We did drop by quite unexpectedly.

Let’s give them some space to think things over.

”

The elderly couple glanced at Bella, who appeared unwell.

Then, noticing that Stella had just awakened and seemed to need rest, they nodded in understanding.

Kyra turned to Stella, her tone warm and caring.

“I’ll head back and prepare some soup for you.

I’ll bring it over later.

”

Stella could feel Kyra’s worry, but these people were practically strangers to her.

She knew Bennett slightly better, yet their bond was far from close.

At that moment, accepting their sudden concern felt awkward.

After a moment’s hesitation, Stella declined politely.

“Please don’t go out of your way.

My husband will handle these matters.

You should take it easy, given your age.
