Even if lan didn't believe that Yvette was such a person, the DNA test report was right in front of him.
Everything that had happened back then was also fresh in his memory.
One said that she had fallen in love with someone else and wanted to leave, while the other said that
he wanted to look for her.
With all these put together, he had no choice but to believe it.
Nora: The previous generation's story sure was cheesy! However, she still didn't believe it.
She mused for a moment and asked, "Did Uncle Ryan leave anything behind? Doesn't he have any
children?"
Joel shook his head.
"No, he doesn't."
Nora glanced at him.
Joel explained, "I'm the eldest brother's son.Quentin and Warren are my fourth uncle's sons.The rest of
my siblings are my fifth uncle's children.’’
The previous generation of the Smiths had six sons and no daughters.
The current generation had seven sons and still no daughters, except for Yvonne, who was adopted.
Nora suggested,’...In that case, let's do a retest for me and...Uncle lan?"
Joel knew that she was no simple woman, and had already interacted with her before.
She probably wouldn't believe it unless she did the test herself.
Therefore, he nodded.
As soon as he did, a dissatisfied voice reached them.
"Are you also doubting me, Joel?"
Joel: Quentin let out a cold snort.
"When have I ever made a mistake all these years I worked for you?"
Joel: Quentin turned and walked away.
Joel ignored him and went into the ward instead.
A short while later, he took some of lan's hair with the follicles attached and handed them to Nora.
Before Nora could say anything, Joel added, "I took the samples myself"
Nora: ".."
Nora coughed and nodded.
Then, with the DNA samples, she got ready to leave with Justin.
She had only taken a couple of steps when she suddenly looked at Joel and said, "I can cure him.
Joel kept quiet for a long while.
It had also been the Andersons’ Carefree Pills that were able to prolong his life back then.
Although the Myerses had claimed that the medicine was theirs, he had already found out the truth a
long time ago.
But he knew that lan would definitely refuse to take them if he knew the medicine was from the
Andersons, so he had kept it from him all this time.
Nora was saying that she could cure him...
Joel shook his head.
"Uncle lan won't let you."
Nora's very existence was proof of Yvette's betrayal and was a thorn in lan’s heart.
How would he possibly allow Nora to treat his illness? Nora didn't insist.
She turned and started to walk out.
She had only taken a couple of steps when she suddenly sensed something.
Her head whipped to the side to see that Quentin had started following beside her at some point.
Nora raised her eyebrows, but before she could say anything, Quentin had already spoken.
He said, "Don't be narcissistic.I'm not protecting you because I like you but because I have to complete
the task I was given.Besides, I'm duty-bound to protect all the Smiths"
Nora kept quiet for a moment before she said,’...I don't need you to protect me."
Quentin was surprised.
"What's wrong with me?"
Nora looked him up and down.
He was so skinny, how strong could he possibly be? Quentin understood the look in her eyes.
He became even more arrogant.
He lifted his chin and said, "Do you know? There are fewer than five people in all of New York who can
beat me! Apart from the two martial arts masters of the Quinn School of Martial Arts and the Irvin
School of Martial Arts, the former's Big Sister and the latter's Big Brother are the only ones I can't beat
in a fight! I was the one who protected you when you were almost killed the other time.You'd better be
nice to me, otherwise, I won't protect you anymore!"
Nora fell silent for a moment upon hearing his words.
Justin, who was watching from the side, couldn't hold himself back, and he chuckled softly.
His little Nora simply had too many secret identities.
She didn't want to reveal even a single one.
Once she told Quentin that she was the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ Big Sister, would he become
her… fan? The three left the hospital.Nora got in the car and went back to the Andersons’.
Quentin didn't follow her, but Nora knew that he was definitely somewhere nearby.
Should she meet with danger, he would definitely rush over immediately.
This inexplicable feeling of being protected by someone else sure was...
By the time she returned to the Andersons’, Lily had already sent someone over to personally bring the
samples abroad for a DNA test.
After all, her little laboratory was located overseas.
After seeing the person off, she went upstairs.
When she found that Cherry was already asleep, she got onto the bed gently, hugged Cherry, and fell
asleep happily.
When she went downstairs after waking up the next day, she saw Melissa, Simon, Mrs.Anderson, and
even Sheena.
The few of them were sitting on the sofa with solemn looks on their faces.
A puzzled Nora went downstairs.
When Mrs.Anderson saw her, she sighed and asked, "Nora, are you going to move to the Smiths’
residence?"
Nora:"?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs.Anderson in confusion.
Mrs.Anderson sighed.
"It's okay even if you move there.That's the way it should be.After all, your father is there...I'm just
worried that you'll have a hard time after you move there."
Nora knew that Mrs.Anderson was reluctant to part with her.
After all, she looked almost just like Yvette.
Mrs.Anderson thought of the daughter she was the proudest of every time she saw her, right? With that
in mind, she replied, "I probably won't move to the Smiths’ for the time being.’’ Mrs.Anderson's eyes lit
up at once.
"Really?" Nora nodded.
Her words, however, took Melissa by surprise.
"Why not? Didn't lan already acknowledge you right there and then?"
Nora had returned too late the night before, so she hadn't told them what had happened yet.
She touched her nose and said, "You may be mistaken, Aunt Melissa.My father is not lan"
Melissa:"???"
She was dumbfounded.
"Your father isn't lan? Then why did he acknowledge you as a Smith yesterday? Is he planning to take
you as his god-daughter? That...shouldn’ t be, right? He has been treating Yvette like a taboo all these
years.Not only has he never visited us, but he also never appears at any events the Andersons go to..."
Nora said,’...They said that my father is lan's elder brother, Ryan Smith”
"Him?"
"That's impossible!"
Melissa and Sheena’'s voices rang out at the same time, and both of them looked at her in shock.
Melissa's reaction was considered normal—she was just surprised.
However, Sheena’s sudden sensitivity was such that Nora couldn't help but cast a few more glances at
her.
