Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 197

“Ever heard of the Fitzgerald family?”

Even if Julie was the last person to catch up with the latest gossip, she had heard of this well-known family. She nodded, but was clueless about the connection between the Fitzgerald family and Sansa’s donation.

“The first heir of the Fitzgerald family is Simon, does he ring a bell?”

“Isn’t he a super mysterious gal? There are no pictures of his in the newspapers. I’ve heard her name, but never met her,” Julie replied.

Kieran gazed at her thoughtfully, “Simon set up a fund to aid special global cases, targeting challenging diseases and specific cancer patients. The donation Sansa received came from the Fitzgerald family.”

“I heard from Dr. Brice that it was a donation from a charity organization, and the donor requested anonymity. How could it possibly be related to the Fitzgerald family?” Julie was puzzled. She tried to retrieve all the information related to the family from her memory, but couldn’t find a reasonable answer.

“After learning about the untraceable funds, I had Karl investigate the charity organization and track it down. The final conclusion was that the donation was related to Simon from the Fitzgerald family. Think hard, do you have any info about this person?”

Despite Julie’s careful recollection, her mind was still a blank slate.

“My understanding of this family mainly comes from newspapers, websites, and mentions by Daphne. The name Simon is also unfamiliar to me, I’ve only heard it once or twice,” Julie stated.

Kieran mused, and Julie thought carefully for a while before speaking, “Sansa’s condition isn’t unique, it’s not a typical challenging disease. Although I believe Karl’s investigation, Simon wouldn’t just donate money to a common patient, right?”

Sansa was in a vegetative state. Doctors said she could potentially wake up, but the odds were slim. The reason Julie was unwilling to pull the plug was because she always thought Sansa was the only person in the world related to her by blood. It was Sansa who orchestrated Julie and Kieran getting together. Though what she did was despicable, Julie, as the victim, could not hate her. Sansa was the only one who knew the Abraham family was going bankrupt yet still cared about Julie wholeheartedly.

After pondering for a long time, Julic finally said to Kieran, “If helping Sansa was Simon’s idea, could it possibly be because Simon and Sansa knew each other? Otherwise, theoretically, an heir busy handling family affairs wouldn’t single out a vegetative patient for support, especially when she isn’t a special case.”

“Maybe!” Kieran had no obligation to tell Julie this, but he did anyway.

Julie was grateful for Kieran’s honesty and sharing, just that the sudden mention of Sansa made the topic heavier.

She leaned on the desk, hesitated for a while, and finally looked at Kieran, “I actually have something to confess to you as well.”

As Julie stuttered, Kieran knew she had something to say that made her feel guilty. So he comforted her by patting her shoulder, silently giving her the courage to speak.

Kieran said the answer, Julie was shocked. Years ago, she thought about telling Kieran the truth, but it was all Sansa’s careful design, and the result of the design was just to give herself a good ending. She couldn’t imagine what would happen after Kieran knew the truth, so she started hiding it, gradually turned into self-deception and didn’t dare to speak up.
