Chapter 443: Siblings Reunited [1]
Ariel Morris’s cries echoed throughout the entire ICU room, filled with sorrow and helplessness, she wept freely.Arlo Seys and Jorge Saxton both looked at Ariel Morris with deep compassion, watching her release her inner grief through her sobs.
Jorge Saxton got up and went over to Arlo Seys, taking Ariel Morris from Arlo’s arms and holding her close, his voice low and hoarse, "I’m sorry, brother came too late."
If he had found his sister earlier, perhaps she wouldn’t have to endure such painful torment.
Suddenly in a different embrace, Ariel Morris initially resisted, reaching out to push Jorge Saxton away, but Jorge held her tightly, unwilling to let go, "I’m sorry, I should’ve found you sooner, Ariel, I’m sorry."
Ariel Morris finally heard Jorge Saxton’s words clearly. She lifted her head and lowered her sobs, her body trembling as she looked at Jorge, "You... you say you’re my brother?"
Jorge Saxton gently caressed Ariel Morris’s hair, with tenderness and heartache, "Yes, I am your biological brother."
"Impossible!" Ariel Morris exclaimed, "Your sister died over twenty years ago when she was just born! Brother Langdon told me!"
Jorge Saxton was taken aback, and slowly replied, "It’s a deceit by the Morris Family, making us all believe you were dead. I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Ariel."
Ariel Morris shook her head, rejecting this shocking news, "Impossible, it’s not possible... Clearly, I was an unwanted child, that’s why I was sent to the orphanage, and that’s why the Morris Family adopted me. I’m not your sister, no!"
Jorge Saxton shook his head, "You weren’t unwanted, you were a precious treasure to our mother and me, our little princess, how could we not want you? When you were just born, the doctor said you weren’t breathing, showing us a deceased infant. Our mother couldn’t bear the blow and succumbed to depression. She never knew that you were still alive, only swapped by the Morris Family and sent to an orphanage."
Ariel Morris wiped away the tears on her face and pushed Jorge Saxton away, her gaze cold as she looked intently at him, "If that’s the case, why did the Morris Family adopt me?"
Jorge Saxton paused for a moment, bitterly saying, "Perhaps they wanted to use you as a pawn, to have us siblings turn against each other when we reunited." As he spoke, he looked at Ariel Morris with steady eyes, "Ariel, you are my sister, it’s absolutely true. If you doubt it, we can do a DNA test. Our mother’s name is Cherry Morris, she is the direct cousin of Damien Morris and Kylie Morris."
"Cherry Morris..." Ariel Morris murmured, recalling the conversation she overheard outside the study when she questioned the Morris Family, hearing Damien Morris and Kylie Morris say: "Cherry Morris’s child must not be kept! Whether it’s Jorge Saxton or her! Keeping them is inviting catastrophe!"
Was that "her" referring to her? So, is she and Jorge Saxton really... biological siblings?
Ariel Morris’s gaze became somewhat dazed, and Arlo Seys placed an arm around her shoulder, speaking in a deep voice, "Ariel, Jorge Saxton is not lying to you, he—he is your biological brother, and it was the Morris Family’s schemes that caused you siblings to be separated for over twenty years."
"Arlo—" Ariel Morris turned to look at Arlo Seys, biting her lip, "How do you know?"
Arlo Seys pressed his thin lips together, candidly admitting, "I wanted to help you find your biological parents, so I investigated everything about you at the orphanage, and in another investigation on the Saxton Family, I discovered that the obstetric director who delivered you left her job and went to the orphanage afterward, and the orphanage’s name was exactly the same as the one the Morris Family used to adopt you, so I guessed your identity."
