After Eleanor Sterling returned, she went directly to the hospital without going anywhere else.
The medical staff reported Aunt Jade’s recent condition to her, and Eleanor Sterling indicated that she understood.
Aunt Jade had been in a dazed state before. Although Eleanor Sterling was curious, she didn’t dare to stimulate her further and waited for her condition to improve.
Now that the doctor said her mental state was good, Eleanor Sterling finally dared to ask her about her mother’s affairs.
"Aunt Jade." Eleanor Sterling sat down by the bed.
Upon hearing her name called, Aunt Jade came back to her senses and looked at Eleanor Sterling with a gentle smile, "Miss Eleanor."
Eleanor Sterling hesitated before speaking, "Aunt Jade, did my mother leave something for me? It’s with Rosalie Ray, right?"
Rosalie Ray had been denying the existence of any belongings, but Eleanor Sterling was so certain, all because of a letter.
A letter from over ten years ago.
Sent before her mother’s death, back then Eleanor Sterling was young and didn’t know where Jeanette Jennings had entrusted it to, only receiving it after coming of age.
The letter stated she had left something behind for Eleanor Sterling and that she must obtain it.
But by then, Eleanor Sterling had been sent abroad by George Sterling to avoid trouble and could find it nowhere upon returning.
Thus, she was adamant that it was in Rosalie Ray’s possession.
Aunt Jade trembled, murmuring, "You... Miss Eleanor, do you really want to know?"
Eleanor Sterling nodded, "Yes, Aunt Jade, I must know."
Upon hearing Eleanor Sterling say this, Aunt Jade sighed heavily.
It seems there are some things that cannot be concealed any longer.
She lowered her head, as if pondering, then slowly spoke, "Miss Eleanor, you are not George Sterling’s biological daughter."
With those words, Aunt Jade waited for Eleanor Sterling to digest the fact.
But contrary to expectation, there was no shock; Eleanor Sterling’s expression was very calm, as if she had already known this.
Aunt Jade asked with some doubt, "Miss Eleanor, did you already know?"
If it weren’t true, how could one explain George Sterling’s different attitude towards her compared to Faye Sterling?
Since childhood, she had always longed for her father’s love, but every time George Sterling disappointed her.
Later, upon learning about this aspect from medical knowledge, Eleanor Sterling made some guesses, and upon discovering the truth, she came to terms with it.
Now that it’s revealed Faye Sterling isn’t his daughter either, whether George Sterling can still be wholeheartedly good to Faye Sterling in the future remains unknown.
"What your mother left behind is likely related to your biological father."
Mentioning her biological father, Eleanor Sterling was visibly taken aback.
"Where is he?" Eleanor Sterling asked with a trembling voice.
Aunt Jade looked at Eleanor Sterling and said, "Aethelgard."
After pausing for a moment, Aunt Jade continued, "Miss Eleanor, your mother and I originally came from Aethelgard, but for certain reasons, we ended up in Veridia City."
While mentioning their origin in Aethelgard, Aunt Jade’s expression was filled with pride and self-esteem.
Veridia City is just a small city, incomparable to the deeply-rooted Aethelgard. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noveⅼfire.net
In Aethelgard, the major families are deeply intertwined, with the Faulkner Family at the forefront, while other families are also unfathomable.
Eleanor Sterling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aunt Jade, was my mother part of the Jennings Family from Aethelgard?"
Aunt Jade smiled bitterly, "Yes, the Jennings Family of Aethelgard, but your mother was exiled from it."
Eleanor Sterling was secretly shocked, wondering why her mother was expelled from her home back then. Was it due to her father’s matters?
