After doing this, Jenny calmly looked at Richard and his wife who were standing in the corner of the room. She pointed to another chair beside the bed and said, "Richard, Janice, why don't you guys sit down first?"
Richard and Janice exchanged glances for a moment. But they also couldn't find out Jenny's intentions, so they could only sit down according to Jenny's instructions. Their brains were spinning hard, trying to guess what was coming.
The atmosphere in this ward became even stranger.
Jenny's attitude during handling the entire incident with Leila has shown her tough character. That woman doesn't hesitate to treat Leila like an outsider and openly acknowledges Lilia as the daughter of the Irwan Family. Jenny is a person who knows right and wrong and is able to put it into practice.
A sigh escaped Jenny's mouth. He rubbed Mellisa's and Lilia's hands that were in hers. Then he turned to the opposite side of the bed.
Jenny said solemnly, "Richard, Janice, today I came here to discuss the internal matters of the Irwan Family. I need to tell you that there is no doubt that Lilia is the son of the Irwan family. There is absolutely no reason for Lilia to live outside his own house. "
Both Janice and Richard gasped at this. Richard opened his mouth to ask, but Jenny raised her hand. His gaze said that he wasn't done talking yet.
"Father has given me full authority to handle this matter."
That sentence was enough to make Richard shut his mouth again.
"Because of that, I need you to understand one thing. Whatever problems occur within the Irwan Family, I will solve them fairly. Whoever the culprit is, I won't care about his identity. " Jenny said firmly. "Do you understand?"
"... yes." Richard answered reluctantly, while Janice nodded with a pale face.
"Very nice. As for Leila, I heard you guys arranged for someone to do a DNA test last night. After the results came out, what are you going to do? "Jenny asked straightforwardly, leaving Richard and his wife pause.
Everyone was staring at the couple so closely that Richard and Janice felt their pressure. Finally Janice opened her mouth. "Sis Jenny, after the results came out, of course we want to invite Lilia back to the Irwan family house."
"Then what are you going to do with Leila? How do you guys plan to handle it? " Jenny insisted.
The series of difficult questions made Janice stare nervously at Richard beside her.
Then she heard Richard answer in a loud voice, "Of course, we will return him to his original family."
This is Richard's determination as well as the best explanation for everything.
"Richard ..." Janice couldn't help it and protested automatically. But when she met her husband's eyes, Janice hastily stopped talking. Richard's gaze clearly indicated that they would talk about this again later.
However, this scene was clearly visible to Lilia and Mellisa.
Before Jenny could speak, there was a sudden, ice-cold laugh. Everyone automatically turned towards the source of the sound.
"Mother." Mellisa calls with a cold smile. "Just say the truth. You still don't want to let Leila go, do you? "
Janice's heart sank, and she looked at Mellisa anxiously, "Mellisa, you're wrong! I didn't mean that ..."
"Mom!" Mellisa slowly raised her hand and interrupted, "You didn't mean that, but you thought so in your heart! Leila is very good in terms of academic achievement. She is a wonderful child, and has always been the daughter you love the most. On the contrary, I am the daughter who disappointed you, right? "
"Mellisa, listen to Mom ..." Janice tried to persuade her, but Mellisa immediately cut her off in a high voice.
"Mother needs to listen to me! Even if the car accident that almost killed me back then was very likely related to Leila, in your heart, I still can't be compared to her, right! "
As soon as those words escaped Mellisa's mouth, the husband and wife were visibly shaken. Janice could only open and close her mouth, but no sound came out. Richard even got up from the chair in an instant, sending it tumbling to the floor.
"What did you say?" Richard asked with a stiff face.
To them, this news came like a bomb. This shattered the only hope that was hidden deep in their hearts.
However, Jenny maintained her composure in the face of the shocking news. He looked at the two people and shook his head in disappointment.
"Richard, did you purposely avoid that possibility when you investigated the truth of the accident? You only focused on why Mellisa came back alive, but have you never thought about why she died in the first place?"
Richard clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently. He looked at Jenny with a sharp gaze. "Sis Jenny, is Leila really trying to harm her own sister?" Richard asked in a deep voice.
How could Richard believe that? Leila is such a gentle and obedient child, she can't even hurt a fly! But now Mellisa is accusing Leila of trying to harm her ?!
Jenny smiled faintly and shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression. "If you really want to know the answer, why not investigate it yourself? You're not a kid who can't do anything anymore."
Jenny glanced at Richard, whose face turned bright red when he heard that. Even so, he continued his words.
"You and Janice have listened to and trusted Leila for years. If you guys really want to know, the Irwan Family's information network won't fail to find out. I'll give you a week to find out the truth of the case. "
"H-Only a week ?!" Richard immediately raised his face with a surprised expression.
"That's more than enough, right?" Jenny replied mercilessly. "If you can't find out, like Dad said, you better leave the Irwan Family house with Leila. Our educated families cannot tolerate such cunning children, who will only defame our family name. "
"W-Wait ..." Richard tried to negotiate, but Jenny ignored her words.
"Also, until you find out the truth, don't come here again. Lilia and Mellisa already have people who love them and are willing to protect them. As their aunt, I also would never let anyone hurt them at all. So you don't have to worry. "Jenny said, smiling broadly.
However, in the eyes of everyone present, Jenny's smile was not that different from that of a devil.
*****
Richard and his wife left the hospital ward looking tired and depressed. It was clear that they were devastated by Jenny's words just now. Or maybe, it was the disclosure of Leila's intention to kill Mellisa which made them even more shocked.
Regarding Jenny's arrangement earlier, Lilia and Mellisa didn't mind at all. Instead of trying to argue with mere words, it would be better if Richard and Janice find out for themselves the true character of Leila.
After the couple left, Jenny stared at the closed door for a long time. Her gaze was tinged with sorrow, as if she regretted the attitude of parents who neglected their own daughter.
Mellisa was the one who broke the silence. "Auntie, have you investigated what happened then?"
Hearing this, Jenny took her eyes back from the door. He turned to Mellisa and said graciously, "I've done an investigation, but many details are ambiguous and uncertain. I think Young Master Jean and Master Leonard should also investigate the matter. But we need to let your parents share in the despair you have had. feel all this time. "
Mellisa didn't speak anymore, but she just closed her eyes tiredly.
