via was still lost in thought. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She lifted her head when Brianna spoke. “I think all of this is enough evidence for you. But maybe your associate has different news.” Her gaze shifted more towards dwin. via nced at her husband, who now looked pale.


    “I never even imagined this.” dwin murmured softly. His gaze now shifted to Brianna and Arthur. Meanwhile, the two men Brianna had hired had left without dwin realizing.


    “Sad, isn’t it? Considering who she is and her upbringing?” Arthurmented.


    “Darling…” via held her husband’s arm. Her small hands appeared to tremble. dwin reached for her hand and squeezed it gently, trying to convey warmth.


    “Everything is beyond my expectations.” dwin tried to exin. “I already knew the truth about her biological father. I also knew about her selling herself. But this… I truly never thought she’d go this far. As fellow doctors, I’ve always known her as a great Doctor.”


    “What should we do after this?” via whispered, confused. Unfortunately for dwin, via was the type of person who easily forgave. Actually, dwin himself had intended to forgive Phoebe once all of this was over. He thought if Phoebe was willing to leave them peacefully, he wouldn’t expose her disgrace to others. But this time? Well, dwin himself wasn’t sure.


    “We’ll think about itter, Darling. What’s certain is that all this evidence will make her stay away from us. And for now, that’s enough.” dwin replied, stroking via’s belly and kissing the top of his wife’s head with an unexinable fear. “We’ll stick to our original n. Return to Kansas and keep you both hidden for a while until I find the right time to reveal all these facts.” via simply nodded in response.


    dwin looked at the two parents in front of him with a questioning gaze, which they both responded to with nods. They clearly left all final decisions to dwin and via. For them, as long as their grandchild was safe, they wouldn’t take any action. And that day ended not so well. via’s and dwin’s minds were filled with all the information in the three envelopes handed to them. ire and Antony, curious about the results given by Brianna’s team, demanded them to speak up because if they waited for them to speak first, ire believed they wouldn’t get any information.


    “Isn’t there anything you want to tell me?” ire demanded, looking at dwin and via alternately during dinner. Upon hearing ire’s question, instead of answering, via went to the nearest bathroom in the dining area. “Brother?” ire looked at her twin brother in astonishment. dwin just shook his head. “Later,” he replied before following via to the bathroom.


    via spent almost five minutes emptying her stomach, barely touched the food she had eaten before finally returning to the dining room. Her nausea still lingered. Although she didn’t actually experience morning sickness, she felt quite uneasy just because of the fleeting glimpse of the contents of the envelopes earlier.


    “Shall I make you some hot tea?” dwin offered, which via nodded to.


    ire struggled to keep her mouth shut, refraining from asking her stepdaughter, and decided to wait until her twin brother answered all the questions weighing on her mind.


    The dinner was so quiet, considering Ignazio and Francisca spent the night at the Altezza and Adaline’s house. They would only gather again tomorrow afternoon when everyone would return to Kansas.


    After dinner, dwin asked via to rest, and his petite wifeplied. “Darling?” via tried to start a conversation. They were already lying on the bed, lying on their sides with via’s back leaning tightly against dwin’s chest, allowing dwin tofortably stroke her belly.


    “Yeah?” dwin responded softly.


    “What are we going to tell Momter?” via asked softly.


    “We’ll tell her everything without skipping a single detail. If Mom ends up hating her, it’s not because of our fault.”


    “But I really didn’t expect Phoebe’s actions,” she said still with her soft voice. “How could a woman who has a child do something so cruel?”


    dwin could only soothe her by stroking his wife’s head and kissing the side of her head affectionately. “Don’t think about it, don’t dwell on it. Sleep now, for the baby’s sake. Tomorrow we still have to go back to Kansas, right?” dwin tried to calm his wife’s distress. via nodded slowly, and slowly her body turned to face her husband.


    dwin smiled at his wife, hoping she would feel calm. He then kissed her forehead again, gently stroking her cheek before pulling her petite body into his embrace.


    “My wife and my baby, sleep soundly. It’ste, don’t stay upte or you’ll catch a cold. If it’s not a cold you catch, then it’ll be me catching you.” dwin teased, making viaugh and yfully hitting her husband’s chest. “Why, Darling? Is our baby asking me to check on them?” He teased again. “Not now, okay, my baby, your mom is still tired. Still jegged. Dad is afraid Mom might get sickter. Let’s wait until tomorrow when we get home, Dad will check on you.” His persuasion shifted his body downward until his head was right in front of via. via, annoyed, hit her husband’s shoulder again.


    “You, what are you doing? I’m embarrassed,” she whispered, although she felt a tingling sensation in her femininity from being amused by her husband’s teasing.


    dwin’s body moved back up and he looked at his wife. “Why should you be embarrassed? I’m just doing what I should do, checking on my baby and making my wife happy,” he said again, still teasing.


    Reluctant to answer her husband, via chose to tighten her hug and hide her face in dwin’s chest. dwin justughed and lovingly stroked his wife’s hair.


    One hourter, after making sure via had drifted off to sleep, dwin stepped out of the room carrying threerge brown envelopes in his hand. He knew his sister would still be waiting for him as he knew his twin sister had a very high level of curiosity. And sure enough, as he reached thest step of the stairs, he saw his twin sister still sitting in the family room with her eyes fixed on the TV screen in front of her, although it was certain she wasn’t watching the program broadcasted by the cable TV station.


    dwin chose to sit on a different sofa from the one currently upied by his sister. At the same time, Antony came and sat next to his wife. dwin handed the envelopes in his hand to the couple.


    “These are the results of the investigation by your mother-inw’s henchmen,” dwin said with a tongue stiff because he was still not used to referring to Mrs. Brianna Quirino as grandmother.


    ire frowned, but she opened one of the envelopes while Antony opened the others. Frowning, shaking his head, gaping, even shrieking. dwin caught each expression from ire. “Is this real?” She asked, looking at dwin with an incredulous look. “You’re not staging a scene from a drama or a crime news, are you?” She continued, still disbelieving. “How could all this happen?” ire’s forehead creased deeper, her heart pounding very fast while her brain spun trying to digest all the facts she had just read.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    dwin shook his head. “These are all facts. I’ve heard part of the story from Freddie, and part from my henchmen. But this is far more detailed than what I’ve heard so far,” he replied truthfully.


    “Are you sure you want to give this to Mom?” ire asked again. dwin looked at her, silently asking for her opinion in return. “I think it’s better not to expose everything to Mom. I’m afraid after this, Mom will be stressed out feeling guilty towards via and might even choose to distance herself from via.”
