Leah immediately closed the door to the hospital room and slowly walked over to Kingston’s bedside.

Kingston struggled to remove the oxygen mask, his lips pale. The injuries made him appear unusually weak, but the coldness in his eyes remained sharper than ever.

“Mrs. Grant… the paternity test… I didn’t tell you… how did you know?” Kingston gasped, his voice barely audible, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Leah.

“Kingston, you just woke up. Get some rest first,” Leah said, feigning concern, avoiding a direct answer.

“Answer me!” Kingston snapped coldly, his voice low and harsh despite his weakness.

Leah felt like a jolt of electricity ran through her, her heart racing in shock.

“I overheard it… by accident,” she replied, her voice laced with a hint of unease, as though she were revealing some hidden

truth.

Kingston’s expression shifted from anger to disappointment. “So, the Lester family has nothing to do with Mrs. Grant. It’s all about you, isn’t it? You’re the child of the Lester family.”

Kingston wasn’t foolish. He’d still been conscious when they moved him out of the ambulance, and he’d heard the conversation clearly.

Add to that the fact that he had run into Leah outside the lab where he was examined, and her resemblance to the Lester family… It all added up.

The Mason family had raised the daughter of another family for twenty–three years, and Joycelyn, the one struggling to hold on to life, was likely the Mason family’s real child.

Kingston ripped the medical equipment from his body, trying to get up and leave the bed.

“Kingston, you’re still injured,” Leah said, rushing to help, but he shoved her away.

Tears filled Leah’s eyes, and her lips trembled as she sobbed. “Kingston…”

Leah understood Kingston’s nature–cool and indifferent, yet gentle at heart. Even if he found his own sister, he wouldn’t drive her away.

But she couldn’t bear the thought of losing the pride of her family’s status and origins to Joycelyn.

In that moment, Leah’s resolve hardened. She pulled a silver needle from her wrist and, without hesitation, stepped forward and stabbed it into the top of Kingston’s head.

The Mason family had a long history in traditional medicine, with exceptional skills. Leah, who had studied medicine since childhood, had no trouble subduing a weakened patient.

Kingston’s body jolted before going completely still.

His cold, black eyes stared at Leah in disbelief before slowly closing in a relaxed stupor.
