Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 224

Natalia had been standing there in a daze until Scarlett called out to her.

"Daydreaming again?"

Natalia snapped back to reality and shook her head.

"No, nothing."

With that, she tried to gather her scattered thoughts and headed towards the ward.

The news she had just heard had indeed thrown her into a bit of a panic.

For a moment, she even considered going straight to Patrick to ask about it.

But reason told her that it wasn't wise to confront him in such a bustling hospital environment. It could cause a scene, and regardless of whether she was Patrick's biological daughter or not, Tatiana's reputation could be completely tarnished! Her mother had just started to recover.

She wanted her to live a clean and peaceful life from now on.

Natalia glanced at Scarlett.

"Scarlett, do you know any place that does DNA paternity tests?"

Scarlett was taken aback. "A paternity test? Who's it for?"

Natalia glanced at the sleeping Tatiana and quietly shared what she had overheard with Scarlett.

Scarlett was stunned for a moment.

"You're not Patrick's daughter?"

Natalia nodded.

Probably.

Otherwise, who else could those people be talking about when they mentioned a 'bastard child'?

"No, why didn't Patrick tell your mom that the child she was carrying wasn't his? Is he out of his mind? Carrying the label of a deadbeat dad for all these years."

A flash of coldness passed through Natalia's eyes.

"If my mom knew she wasn't carrying Patrick's child, would she have given him all those valuable jewels she had?"

"Damn!" Scarlett cursed, teeth clenched. "Patrick, that despicable lowlife!"

Then, her tone suddenly changed, "But maybe it's for the best, you can finally cut ties with those people. I always said, someone as wonderful as you couldn't possibly have a scumbag for a dad!" Natalia couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, now I can really cut ties!"

"What are you planning to do?" Scarlett inquired.

Natalia's lips tightened.

After a moment, she spoke, "Nothing. I never really had a relationship with Patrick, to begin with."
