Chapter 255: Blood Test Results
Amelia sucked in a breath of cold air. She had tried her best to keep her voice down and leave the room, yet Horace had still heard her. With how things were, there was no choice but to fess up. Matteo and Ronan were going to be back any minute anyway.
She smiled and discreetly cut the call, praying that Matteo would understand. Saying a proper goodbye was the least of her worries right now.
"You don’t have to hide anything just because of my health, my dear," Horace said understandingly. "If Emmeline has done something and you need my help against her, I can help you."
Amelia shook her head. "She’s still your granddaughter," she said. "I don’t want you to have to make that choice between us, Grandpa. I know you’re looking out for me, but I can handle her."
"So she has done something," Horace pointed out, and Amelia could only smile sheepishly. "What is it this time?"
"How much of the news have you seen?" Amelia asked, leading her grandfather back to the living room where the couches were. She didn’t want him to stand for too long.
"Well, Annalise made sure I read all the articles about her daughter in hopes I would change my mind," Horace said with a roll of his eyes.
"Did you see the part where some people mentioned the child she’s carrying isn’t actually Matteo’s?" Amelia softly asked.
Horace raised an eyebrow and Amelia immediately continued.
"I know, I know. And after she made such a huge fuss about it too at the wedding!" Amelia said, shaking her head. "But I overheard Aiden and Emmeline’s conversation― there’s a good chance that the baby’s father is actually Aiden."
Amelia then went on to explain how she had overheard the entire conversation, briefly explaining how Emmeline ended up in the hospital in the first place, just in case Annalise tried to twist the facts and push all of the blame on Amelia. All throughout, Horace listened quietly and thoughtfully.
