It was obvious that Ye Lu An thought it was Bradley's possessiveness at play. He chuckled twice and said, "Don't forget, Freya is your wife, but she's also my niece. She should even call me uncle."

After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Bradley with a mischievous glint in his eye. He continued, "And you, since you've married my niece, shouldn't you also change your address and call me uncle?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw a sharp look from Bradley. Ye Lu An immediately cowered.

To be honest, although he was older than Bradley, in terms of dignity and confidence, he couldn't compare with Bradley. Moreover, this man was in charge of the Dark Web and had multiple identities, exuding a strong aura of hostility.

A single look from him was as sharp as a blade, enough to cut him into pieces.

Although they had a cooperative relationship, over the years, Ye Lu An had always been respectful and cautious, afraid of making this living Hades unhappy and having him withdraw his investment, leaving him bankrupt.

Although his status had changed now, the years of respect made it difficult for him to be anything but deferential to Bradley.

Deep down, he still revered this man.

"Alright, if you don't want to call me that, it's okay to keep it the way it was before," Ye Lu An said this with a bit of lack of confidence.

Bradley repeated, "Are you going to leave on your own, or should I ask Blue Book to help you out?"

This was his hospital room, and the woman in his arms was his woman. Even if she was a daughter of the Ye Lu royal family, he wouldn't allow anyone to pry into their affairs.

"No need to trouble Blue Book. I'll leave on my own, on my own," Ye Lu An took the hint and quickly drank the last sip of tea before scurrying away.

Not long after he left, Freya slowly woke up.

Although she could fall asleep easily, her sleep time was short, and any little disturbance could affect the quality of her sleep.

When Bradley and Ye Lu An were chatting earlier, Freya was conscious, but because she was too sleepy, she couldn't hear clearly in a daze.

When she opened her eyes and got used to the light in the hospital room, she asked, "Was someone here just now?"

Bradley hummed in agreement. "Ye Lu An."

"What did he come for?" Freya's expression changed slightly. She quickly got up from the man's arms and asked nervously, "Did something happen to Ye Lu Qi again?"

Bradley saw that she was so concerned about Ye Lu Qi and didn't know whether to feel happy or worried.

After all, the man lying in the hospital bed, with only half his life left, was her real biological father.

"Freya," Bradley was silent for a long time, then suddenly looked at her seriously. "I have some news for you, about the mystery of your origin. Do you want to hear it?"

Freya blinked and said in confusion, "Don't we already know it?"

"No!" Bradley reached out and stroked her hair, his voice slightly hoarse. "The previous judgment was wrong. Your biological father is someone else."

After saying that, Bradley took out the test report and handed it to Freya.

After a moment of stunned silence, Freya took it and took a look.

The more she read, the uglier her expression became. In the end, her voice was trembling. "I should have thought of it earlier. Ye Lu An has type O blood, while my blood type is the same as Ye Lu Qi's. If we weren't father and daughter by blood, there's no way this could be such a coincidence."

During the time when she was donating blood to Ye Lu Qi in the hospital bed, Freya had been thinking about this matter.

She had suspected her own origin, but she had always used various reasons to convince herself that she couldn't be Ye Lu Qi's daughter.

But she was also torn. If the result was that they were father and daughter, what should she do next?

Should she continue to maintain a stranger-like relationship with him, or choose to acknowledge their kinship?

Freya was very confused and even a bit lost.

After all, in the past, she had only harbored hatred for the term "biological father." But since the conversation with her master that day, her heart had started to waver.

Her master had said that as the king of a country, Ye Lu Qi had many things beyond his control.

So when she had seen Ye Lu Qi bleeding profusely with a pale face as if he were about to die, she had actually felt a bit of sympathy for this man.

After all, the reason he had ended up in this situation was all due to the queen.

In a way, Ye Lu Qi was just a pawn of the queen and also a victim.

"I've said that no matter what decision you make, I'll support you," Bradley put his arm around her shoulders and let her rest her head on his shoulder.

This mystery of her origin had been too tortuous. To be honest, Bradley truly hoped that Freya could let go of everything and accept the bond of family affection again.

But he didn't want to put too much pressure on Freya, so he let her make the choice.

Now, seeing her so torn, Bradley was extremely sad.

"Although Ye Lu Qi's condition is stable, it's still hard to say what he'll be like when he wakes up." Her blood had only saved his life, but Ye Lu Qi had suffered a brain injury, and the situation was definitely not optimistic.

So Freya was thinking that she needed to think it over carefully before making any plans.

"I don't care about him. I just want you to be alright," Bradley hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to crush her into his bones. Freya leaned against his shoulder, her heart as complex as if a bottle of mixed seasonings had been knocked over.

...

Three days later, Ye Lu An sent someone with the news that Ye Lu Qi had woken up.

As Freya had expected, Ye Lu Qi's brain injury had caused amnesia. He had forgotten everything that had happened before and didn't recognize anyone in the palace either.

When Freya and Bradley arrived, the doctor was examining Ye Lu Qi's body.

Looking at the haggard man, Freya's heart softened a bit more.

Just a few months ago when they had met, Ye Lu Qi was still that imposing king. But after that serious illness, he had aged a lot overnight. Not only were his temples streaked with white, but the wrinkles on his face were also clearly visible.

When Ye Lu An saw Freya's arrival, he ordered everyone to leave.

After the door was closed, he earnestly pleaded, "Freya, all the mistakes back then were mine. If you want to blame someone, blame me. But my eldest brother is truly innocent."

Freya already knew the whole truth and naturally knew that Ye Lu Qi was innocent. But when hatred had been in her heart for so long, it wasn't possible to let it go all at once. She needed time to digest and completely accept all of this.

"No matter what, for the sake of him being your biological father, give him a chance to make up for you."

Ye Lu An knew that he had committed great sins. The reason his eldest brother had ended up in this situation was largely due to the mistakes he had made back then. And the sufferings that Bai Zhilan and Freya had endured were also caused by him.

He didn't expect Freya to forgive him. He just hoped that she could acknowledge their kinship with his eldest brother and give his eldest brother something to look forward to in his bitter life.

Freya stood there without speaking for a long time. Suddenly, she walked closer to Ye Lu Qi. To the surprise of everyone present, she reached out to feel Ye Lu Qi's pulse.

Although he was awake, his body was too weak, and he was still in a drowsy state.
