795 Chapter 794
Keira had actually secretly done a DNA test on Howard and Amy after realizing Howard’s shady behavior. Back then, though, the results came back showing they were indeed father and daughter.
It wasn’t until later, after Ellis’s diagnosis with infertility, that Keira understood that people could tamper with medical reports. She eventually found out it was Erin who was behind it. With Erin’s influence in the medical world, it wasn’t so surprising.
So when she heard today that Amy’s biological father was knocking at their door, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it might be true and had someone immediately conduct a new DNA test. To her surprise, the results showed that not only was Sean Church not Amy’s father, but Howard wasn’t either. Amy had always resembled both Keira and her sister, Keera; it was obvious to anyone that Amy was Keera’s child. Yet now, it seemed like her biological father’s identity had become a mystery.
In that moment, Keira couldn’t help but wonder if her sister might not be as innocent or naive as she’d always appeared.
Noticing Keira’s conflicted look, Lewis asked, “Are you worried Amy’s real father might actually show up p>
Keira nodded, her voice soft. “I’m just concerned that if something comes up in the future, it might endanger my mother if my identity gets exposed p>
Lewis gave her a steady look. “There’s no use in worrying too far ahead. Let’s focus on what’s in front of us—one step at a time, right p>
His words lifted a weight from Keira’s chest. She’d been so burdened with concerns over her mother’s safety that she’d convinced herself she had to maintain this role for her sister. But maybe, as long as she was trying her best, there was no point in stressing about things that hadn’t even happened yet.
She nodded, feeling a bit of calm settle over her.
When they headed upstairs to their room, they found Erin sitting with Amy, the two of them surrounded by snacks. Erin had emptied her bag of treats and was dividing everything up with the utmost seriousness. “These two pieces of candy are yours, these two are mine, this bag of pistachios is mine, and…well, this one’s a bit big for you, so I’ll eat it instead, okay?” Erin said with a grin.
Watching them, Keira couldn’t help but smile.
Amy turned at the sound of the door opening, then immediately ran over and hugged Keira’s leg. “Mom p>
She paused, looking over at Lewis, hesitated for a moment, then blurted, “Dad p>
Lewis raised an eyebrow, glancing at Keira.
Keira looked just as surprised. “What did you call him p>
“Dad.” Amy’s little voice was filled with such innocence it made Keira’s heart melt a little. It softened Lewis, too. He bent down, lifting her up in his arms.
Seeing Lewis, this tall, strong man, holding Amy so gently, Keira felt like she was seeing happiness in a tangible form for the first time.
In the end, Amy stayed with the Olsen family.
Uncle Olsen personally ensured her safety, and since the poisoning incident, the entire staff had been re-screened thoroughly to confirm there were no issues among the servants and security. The Olsen house had turned into something of a fortress, with tight controls on who came and went, ensuring no one could sneak in to try to take Amy away.
Keira and Lewis decided to stay at the Olsen house instead of returning to their place. Normally, a newlywed couple would relish having a place to themselves, but Amy’s bright calls of “Mom” and “Dad” stirred something protective in both of them. They wanted to be there for her.
Since they weren’t returning home, Erin, naturally, made herself at home at the Olsen house too.
And so, that night…
“Ah!” Charles shouted as he opened the door to his room, fresh out of a shower and ready to collapse into bed. He hadn’t expected to find Erin sleeping peacefully under his covers.
She blinked her sleepy eyes, gazing at him in confusion. “What’s the shouting for, Charlie p>
“You—you—you…” he stammered, lost for words.
Erin patted the spot beside her. “I’m staying at the Olsen house, so obviously, I’m sleeping in your room. The other rooms are just too small, you know p>
The Olsens’ large family still lived in this building together, with each floor containing a couple of suites. Although there were several guest rooms, they were on the smaller side. Upon hearing this, Erin had swiftly claimed Charles’s room as her own, saying her stash of snacks needed space.
For Charles, though, a shy college student who could barely hold hands without blushing, seeing Erin in his bed was more than he could handle.
Swallowing hard, he ran off to find a guest room to sleep in instead.
But his thoughts were far from peaceful. All night, his mind swirled with images of Erin’s mischievous smile, her soft fragrance lingering in the room…
But even in the guest room, Charles couldn’t calm down. His mind kept drifting back to Erin’s playful expression and the lingering hint of her perfume. Her presence was like a spell he couldn’t shake, keeping him wide awake.
Hours passed, and just as he was finally beginning to drift off, he heard a door open down the hall.
Charles frowned, unsure of what was going on, and stepped out to investigate—only to be completely stunned by what he saw p>
