Chapter 443

Chapter 443:

Amelia, Wyatt, and the others remained within the village for a week before finally making preparations to journey back to Kretol.

At first, their departure had been scheduled two days earlier, but Joselyn’s distinctive position demanded authorization from the proper officials, forcing a delay of two days.

Following a week of rest and recuperation, Wyatt’s internal wounds had completely healed, leaving behind only superficial injuries.

Amelia’s condition had also improved remarkably under Gabby’s care, her health far stronger than before, which lifted some of Wyatt’s lingering unease.

Hours afterward, they arrived in Kretol.

After getting off the plane, Amelia immediately noticed Shepard waiting. Catching sight of him revived the memory of the agreement they had made before she set out for Ekuoledo.

Walking over to him, she lifted her hand, pulled out a single strand of hair, and handed it to him.

Once Shepard accepted the strand, he spoke in a gentle voice. “Will you accompany us to the hospital p>

Amelia wondered if she imagined it, but his words carried a subtle trace of pleading.

After pausing briefly, Amelia gave a nod.

Shepard had made prior arrangements, reserving a discreet hospital in Kretol renowned for its unwavering privacy.

Amelia, Wyatt, and the others were guided straight into the exclusive lounge, where they waited. After half an hour, a knock echoed from the door.

“I’ll answer it!” Weldon leapt upright, failing to conceal his eagerness.

When he opened the door, his eyes immediately locked onto the sealed folder in the doctor’s hand.

The doctor then delivered the file to Shepard.

The envelope was shut tight — Shepard needed to tug at the seal twice before it finally gave way.

When he withdrew the DNA analysis, an unfamiliar stir of tension rose in Amelia’s chest.

She had long convinced herself she felt indifferent to the result, that she wished no connection with the Chadwick family. Yet now, with the report in Shepard’s grip, she realized she did care.

Weldon impatiently leaned closer to Shepard to see the report.

The document contained only one page, its result undeniable. The instant Weldon saw the 99.9% correspondence proving their kinship, his eyes shone with emotion. “Amelia… You truly are my sister p>

“Don’t call me that. I p>

“Amelia, you cannot punish us for our father’s faults. We’re every bit as blameless as you are p>
