My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1942
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1942
Ellen looked up at him, asking, âYou said⦠you only learned yesterday that my brother was the donor,
right?â
Jared apologized, âYeah, I only learned that yesterday. I didnât know the donor back then was named
Kevin Reiss until your uncle suddenly came asking me for money. Sorry, it was my fault for not
noticing.â Had he learned about this sooner, he would have shown her his gratitude already.
Ellen asked, âMy uncle asked you for money again?â She was both surprised and kind of angry. How
could Uncle Connor take advantage of my brotherâs heart donation to keep asking for money?
âThatâs right. He demanded about 15 million from me, saying he needs the fortune to pay off his many
debts. Ellen, I know they didnât give you a red cent out of the 15 million that my family gave him
previously.â Jaredâs heart ached terribly as he looked at her. He continued, âYou should get at least half
the amount.â
Tears welled up in Ellenâs eyes. Some memories were so unbearable to recall, she had to bury them
deep down. She remembered how Jessica had once run out of cash and had to turn to Connor and his
family when she got hospitalized for cold-induced pneumonia.
Even though Connor had only given Jessica a mere 150 in the end, Jessica had told her at her bedside
that she had to be grateful to him and repay his kindness in the future.
Unbeknownst to them at the time, however, Connor and Olivia were splurging everywhere and flaunting
their wealth in front of their friends and relatives with the money they had received for Kevinâs heart
donation.
Now that she thought about it, she thought Connor and his family were not human. They were so
heartless and cold-blooded that they didnât deserve to be her relatives and elders at all. She recalled
again how Connor and Olivia. had responded coldly when she borrowed money from them prior to
Jessicaâs death. They were already so loaded, but they wouldnât lend her a single cent more.
Feeling bitterly disappointed, she looked up at Jared, saying, âYouâre right that I should get at least half
of my brotherâs money. I want to get it back.â
Jared nodded. âIâll help you with that. I asked the hospital director who signed the agreement with your
uncle and his family back then, and he said there was no element of coercion or threat involved. Your
uncle and aunt were your brotherâs legal guardians at the time, and the agreement was signed with
their consent, nor did my parents ever pressure them with their power and influence.
Please trust me, Ellen, my parents are not this kind of people,â he said under his breath in hopes that
Ellen wouldnât get the wrong idea about his family again. âOf course, Iâm very sorry for using your
brotherâs heart. If you have a problem with it, I can have it taken out and leave it at your disposal,â he
added in a choked voice.
Ellen felt a catch in her throat; her eyes reddened. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? When did I
ever ask you to take it out?â
Jared looked at her quietly. âI just hope that you wonât hate me.â âI donât hate you.â Ellen let out a sigh.
âMy brother was a kind person. I think he wouldâve saved you, too.â
Jared strode over, held her hand, and placed it gently on his heart. âNo wonder I felt kind of close to
you and wanted to protect you when I first saw you. Turns out this was because my heart came from
the person who loved you most.â
Ellen couldnât help shedding tears in silence as the person who loved her most tugged at her
heartstrings.
As she felt the beating of the manâs heart, a large hand gently wiped her tears away. âIâm your brother
from now on. Iâll protect you and love you for the rest of my life.â
Ellen bit her lip and turned her face away with a slight blush. Just then, someone hemmed loudly from
behind. âAhem!â Ellen immediately withdrew her hand, whereas Jared darted a glance at the
thoughtless person.
Lambert walked leisurely in their direction with his arms folded across his chest. âEllen, Iâve made
breakfast. Letâs have breakfast together, shall we?â he said to Ellen.
Jared raised an eyebrow and reached out to grab Ellenâs wrist. âIâve got breakfast here, too. Sheâs
joining me for breakfast.â âI made breakfast myself,â Lambert retorted, implying that his breakfast was
more precious.
âIâll make breakfast for her every single day in the future, so why donât you save your breakfast for
yourself, Mr. Orey? Sheâs leaving with me now.â
