"Dad..."

Julie looked at Mathias nervously.

With a trembling voice she asked, “Dad... Can I have a look at your... At your physical examination report this year?"

With a bitter smile, Mathias slowly shook his head.

“There is no need for that. Just like how a candle will be burnt out sooner or later... Everyone is destined to reach the end of their lives one day."

After saying this sad statement, the old man paused for a moment and suddenly turned to Julie. On the other hand, Julie's brows furrowed upon seeing his father's eyes Lit up.

“How about arranging a DNA test between you and Maria? What do you think?" Mathias asked half-jokingly.

Julie was stunned.

She hadn't expected her father to make such a ridiculous request. Could his suspicion be true?

No. It was impossible.

Julie found her father smiling slyly at her, like a naughty child.

She hesitated for a while, but then gradually understood her father's thoughts.

At his old age, what her father had let go of was not only the conflict with her from twenty years ago, but also the dignity and arrogance of the head of the Smith family.

It was as if he had taken off all the shackles in his life holding him back and finally realized that he should cherish everything in front of him, even his most unrealistic but beautiful daydreams!

Julie finally nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Okay... We can have a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't match. But if Maria is really my daughter, it would be great..."

“Good, good."

The old man coughed and smiled more brightly.

Julie stayed with her father until he fell asleep. Then she walked out of the room with mixed feelings.

Standing in the mansion of the Smith family, which was still fresh in her memory even though she hadn't set foot in it for twenty years, Julie was overwhelmed by a mixture of distress and embarrassment.

What if Maria was really her daughter?
