Chapter 540

“Pursuer?” Fiona glanced at Theo, then turned her curious gaze to Anathea. “Nat, you and Gregory…”

The mention of Gregory stirred something in Anathea’s eyes, but disappeared as quickly as it came. “We divorced.”

A flicker of surprise crossed Fiona’s face.

But seeing that Anathea looked healthy, she finally let out a breath and reached out to gently stroke her cheek. She said softly,” It’s okay. Everything will pass. I will always support whatever choices you make.”

Smiling, Anathea gave a hum.

Just then, a nurse came in to apply Fiona’s medication. Anathea was about to help her sit up.

“I got it,” Theo offered quickly, stepping in without hesitation. He took care of everything without needing Anathea to lift a finger.

Fiona noticed the lively spark in Theo’s eyes and how his gaze kept drifting to Anathea. They were full of open admiration and affection.

“Just friends?” Fiona’s smile deepened. “Doesn’t look that way to me-”

Before she could finish, Anathea promptly popped a piece of apple into her mouth and changed the subject. “Mom, do you remember anything from before I turned six?”

Fiona froze for a second. “Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

She hid it well, but Anathea still caught the flash of emotion in her eyes.

“Actually…” Anathea exhaled slowly and decided to tell the truth. found my biological parents.”

Fiona said nothing at first. She simply looked at Anathea in silence.

The air in the room grew still.

Anathea had expected Fiona to take it hard. After all, they had been mother and daughter for 20 years, and now she was suddenly saying she had found her birth mother.

But Fiona didn’t react the way Anathea feared. Her voice was gentle when she asked, “Are they good to you?”

“Yeah, they are.

Grace had been ready to empty out the entire Lancaster residence just to give her the best of everything. Even Zach, the famously stoic head of the Lancaster family, had tears in his eyes the moment he saw Anathea.

Raw emotion wouldn’t lie. They had waited 20 years to welcome their daughter home.
