"You..." Rowan gave it a thought and asked softly, "Did you remember something?"

Kelly jolted.

"There's nothing you can't tell me." Rowan's smile was as if he knew everything. "Actually, from the first day I treated you, I knew that you were hiding something from everyone.

"You didn't remember something. You've never forgotten anything."

Kelly sat on the bed with her legs curled up as she bit her fist.

After a moment of silence when Rowan was going to inject her, she grabbed his hand abruptly and looked with a pleading expression on her pale face.

"Uncle Irwin, you're a good person..." Even Kelly's voice sounded pale. "Please don't tell others!"

Rowan automatically scanned the surrounding area of the hospital ward with a serious gaze. Confirming that there was no one else, he turned around swiftly and shut the door.

"Some of the doctors and nurses around me are actually Nelly's people," Kelly said softly. "But I don't know who they are, so I can only pretend to have lost my memory."

Rowan frowned. "So, you purposely ran into Cordelia's car on the day of the accident?"

"I didn't know that it was Ms. Cordelia's car!" Kelly hurried to explain, "I was abducted, and the driver said that Nelly asked him to do it. I was scared... so I just wanted to run into a car and create an accident. At least I wouldn't be harmed by them!"

Rowan nodded. "You think pretty fast.

"So, you pretended to have amnesia after that also to avoid Nelly from doing anything to you?"

Kelly bit her lips and nodded.

"Nelly will keep thinking of ways to kill me since she failed this time. I can only stay alive if I'm not a threat to her..."

Rowan had newfound knowledge of this weak and ill girl. She was calm and knew how to protect herself, seeking survival despite the despairing situation.

This girl was the one who had actually inherited Mandy's true blood.

Rowan sighed. "I understand your situation. You can't help it. But you should at least let your mother know. Do you know how worried she is about you?"

Tears brimmed Kelly's eyes, and she looked down without a word.

"Your mother's in a crisis now," Rowan told her. "The career she has worked hard for will soon be gifted to Nelly by your father!"

"Actually, I knew that..." Kelly said after a long time, "I knew that Nelly was my father's actual daughter a long time ago."

"How did you know?" Rowan was surprised.

"I've suspected it for a long time. Every time Nelly is upset, she vents on me, but dad turns a blind eye and forbids my mom from intervening. Mom's busy with the company and doesn't have the additional attention to spend at all. Nelly also keeps threatening me, saying that she'll kill mom if I dare tell others...

"It's from my dad's attitude that I suspected his relationship with Nelly."

Rowan listened to her quietly with a grim expression.

"I come to the hospital for a detailed checkup each month, and I have injuries on me each time. I get them checked secretly."

Kelly pulled a stack of medical records from under her pillow. They were her injury assessment reports throughout the years.

Rowan was alarmed, just flipping through them casually. He could not imagine how a weak girl like her withstood it and pulled through. How strong must she be mentally to persevere and collect the evidence at the same time?

"Once, I plucked Nelly's hair while she hit me." Kelly met Rowan's gaze. "I did a DNA test in secret..."

It was just in time that Rowan flipped to the page of the DNA test. It was between Kelly and Nelly, and their percentage of being family was 99% and above.

He sighed heavily and placed the stack of documents back under her pillow.

Kelly's voice was airy. "Uncle Irwin, can these... help my mother?"
