Adeena lay on the hospital bed and allowed the doctor to perform the gynecological examination.
“Your body is quite healthy, and there doesn‘t seem to be any major problems.” Adeena lifted the flap
herself and pointed at the surgical scar on her abdomen, she then asked, “Was this caused by an
appendectomy?”
The gynecologist adjusted her spectacles and reached over to touch the area around the scar. She
frowned and said, “The incision for an appendectomy should not be here. Generally, a C section would
have been performed here to remove a child...”
Adeena‘s heart plummeted.
‘I really did have a child!‘ Jada had never told her this, but it was clear that everyone in the Willis family
knew about it. She took a deep breath and asked, “Can you make a guess as to roughly when I had the
Cesarean from the scarring?”
The doctor gave her a suspicious glance. She never had a patient ask such a strange question
before...
“Please evaluate it for me, doctor.”
Adeena opened her purse, pulled out a wad of cash, and placed it on the doctor‘s table. She barely
lived in the Willis family‘s mansion these past few years. She earned all of her usual spending money.
The doctor did not take the money, but coldly said, “Go to the cashier to pay your fees. Ask to do a
Doppler ultrasound. When that‘s done, bring the results over and let me have a look.”
An hour later, Adeena brought the ultrasound results back to the doctor‘s office.
“Your uterus is recovering quite well. And generally speaking, it takes three to four years after giving
birth for the uterus to return to this state.” Adeena raised her eyebrows. “In other words, I had the
Cesarean around three or four years ago?”
“That‘s about right.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Adeena stuffed the ultrasound results into her purse and left the hospital with a
cold look in her eyes.
She only had four years‘ worth of memories. The first day she awoke, the Willis family had told her that
she was brought onto the coast of Cloud City by the waves, and that they were the ones who found her
and took her to the hospital to save her life. Since they felt a connection to her when they saw her, the
Willis family decided to take her in as an adopted daughter.
‘If I had been pregnant with a child back then, why didn‘t Jada tell me about it? If I had already

‘If I had been pregnant with a child back then, why didn‘t Jada tell me about it? If I had already given
birth before they saved me, how could Ruth tell Jack with such certainty that I had given birth before?‘
It appeared that she had to personally ask Jada and get to the bottom of this.
Adeena drove her car back to the Willis family‘s mansion.
The Willis family was also a well–known family in Cloud City, but this was due to the achievements
accumulated by their ancestors. In the past ten years, the Willis family had remained stagnant and had
been left far behind by many other powerful families. The people of Cloud City only mentioned the
Willis family out of habit when they were listing the powerful families in the city.
The Willis family lived downtown. Despite all the bustling life around it, it remained a silent, ancient, and
majestic mansion that occupied a space of more than one thousand square meters. “You‘ve
underestimated our family too much, Mrs. Willis.” Mrs. Finnian put down her teacup as she wore a
smile on her face.
“Jacky is my only son. How could I let him marry an adopted daughter? It‘s true that the Willis and
Finnian families have a standing engagement, and I won‘t say anything if Adeena is married over. But
an adopted daughter? Mrs. Willis, do forgive me for not agreeing to this.” Jada did not care about
putting on airs as the madam of the Willis family.
Over the past ten or so years, the gap between their families kept growing, and Mrs. Finnian had long
thought of herself as the superior one.
Jada took out a box that was beside her and slowly opened it.
“The first time the Willis family met Adeena was three years ago. She wore this Heart of the Ocean
around her neck. Mrs. Finnian, at an auction more than twenty years ago, we saw this necklace
together. At that time, it was sold at a high price of twenty million... Later, this necklace was auctioned
repeatedly. The price should be more than fifty million now.”
Mrs. Finnian loved collecting jewelry the most. She could tell at a glance that this necklace was the
genuine article.
She had been unable to fork out that much money during the auction at Cloud City.
