After hearing Richard's words, Jenny nodded in relief. "You could say that you finally started acting like a father. Lilia, what do you think?"
Lilia smiled faintly. From their conversation just now, it was clear that Jenny wanted to clear Lilia's name, and let her return to her real family. Lilia understood that woman's kindness.
Unfortunately, Lilia still refused, "Auntie, there's no need to rush to take me back home. There are still many things that haven't been investigated. Until all the truth is revealed, just leave our relationship as it is."
However, not everyone can understand Mellisa's past. At this moment, Janice and Richard clearly still had Leila's image in their hearts. If Lilia really did return to the Irwan Family's house, it would be tantamount to reminding them all the time that Leila was driven out of the Irwan Family's house because of her.
Lilia didn't want to ask other people to love her just because of their blood relationship. He also didn't want to put himself in an awkward position. After all, Lilia from the start never expected a warm welcome from the Irwan Family.
At this moment, Jenny looked surprised by what Lilia had said. Even Simon and Richard looked at him with strong emotion in their eyes.
Seeing their reactions, Mellisa smiled lightly from her wheelchair. He raised his face and glanced at his younger brother who was standing beside him. Mellisa said softly, "I agree with Lilia. Besides, I suggest that you keep doing the DNA test between you and Lilia. In my view, this is something that is very necessary."
Then Mellisa looked back at Richard. He continued his words with a calm and confident expression.
"Since Father intends to let Lilia return to this house, don't let a single thing become unclear. With the DNA test results, at least we can prove that she is the real daughter of the Irwan family. "Mellisa finished her argument.
Simon's eyes that were staring at Mellisa now showed surprise and appreciation. During this time they had been so blinded by Leila's achievements and intelligence that they neglected Mellisa. They always believed that the best daughter in the Irwan Family was Leila, and they never explored Mellisa's strengths.
Even though Mellisa also has her own talent. He has a very clear and thorough view on this matter. Mellisa did not hesitate to present her opinion, which had been well thought out. That woman had no intention of letting anyone with malicious intent find out about the Irwan Family's mess regarding the switched daughter. Thus, Lilia's appearance won't be criticized either.
Now Simon begins to understand why his friend Anton repeatedly says that he wants Mellisa as his son-in-law.
After thinking about this, Simon said seriously, "Everyone, just go with what Mellisa says."
When the elder had spoken, no one dared to refute it. Richard and Jenny could only say, "Fine, Dad."
Simon continued, "Lilia, Grandpa won't force you to return to this house. But since you've come all the way here, would you like to try staying in this house for just a few days? Mellisa too, how about you rest and recover at home? "
When Simon finished speaking, he immediately got two answers at the same time.
"No need!"
"No need!"
Lilia and Mellisa gave the same answer almost simultaneously. After speaking, they looked at each other and exchanged meaningful smiles. Even without discussing it beforehand, the siblings could understand each other's hearts.
Richard had a hard time keeping his expression neutral when he heard the answers of his two daughters. He couldn't hide the loss that crossed his face.
Lilia looked around at everyone, with a persistence she rarely showed. "I still have work that needs to be continued in Surabaya. That work has been long overdue, and I must return immediately." Strictly speaking.
Then Lilia glanced at her sister, who was looking at her expectantly. Lilia smiled a little.
"As for Ms. Mel, her condition has not fully recovered. If she is willing, I also plan to bring Ms. Mel to Surabaya to rest for a while. We've been causing a lot of trouble for everyone lately. I'm sure we all need some time to cool off, so I'm not going to trouble you. "
Richard stood there. After Lilia finished speaking, she looked at Mellisa with a mixture of regret and depression.
"Mellisa, if your health condition has not recovered, we can provide the best care for you. Father can take you to the best hospital in Jakarta. What if ..."
"No, I want to be with Lilia!"
Before Richard could complete his offer, Mellisa immediately turned him down. The woman's rejection was quick and thoughtless.
Mellisa could actually see the guilt in Richard's eyes, but this didn't make him forget the wrong he had made. He is not ready to forgive his parents, who prefer snake-hearted daughters to their real daughters.
After Mellisa's quick refusal, the atmosphere in the room got heavier and more awkward. Richard still wanted to persuade Mellisa, but he didn't know how to break the current impasse with his eldest daughter.
At this time, Jenny, who had been listening to their conversation, finally spoke up. Even though her expression showed regret, she still kindly agreed to their decision.
"If that's what they want, don't push them both, Richard. I'm sure they know what they're doing." Jenny said to her sister, who accepted Jenny's words with a reluctant face.
Then Jenny turned to look at the siblings.
"Mellisa, Lilia, you need to keep in mind that you are the children of the Irwan Family. The door to this house will always be open for you whenever you want to go home, "said Jenny.
Lilia and Mellisa say their thanks to Jenny. Then, because it was almost time to catch the plane, they planned to immediately leave the Irwan family home.
After saying goodbye to Simon, Richard and Jenny, the four of them walked out of Leila's room. Just like earlier, Leonard pushed Mellisa's wheelchair. Behind them, Lilia and Jean walked hand in hand. Just then, they ran into Janice, who had just returned from the gate.
"... Mother, see you later." Said Mellisa. He only said it out of courtesy.
Hearing Mellisa's greeting, Janice looked up and her steps stopped immediately. In his eyes, Lilia and Mellisa looked seventy percent alike.
Janice is still in a daze after letting Leila go. It took him a moment to understand the current situation. She wiped the corners of her eyes, then looked at her two daughters. "Mellisa, Lilia, where are you going?"
Mellisa replied calmly, "Back to Surabaya."
In an instant, Janice hurriedly stepped forward and took Mellisa's hand. "Why do you want to go back to Surabaya? Your injury is still not healed, why not take care of it at home?" He asked frantically.
Mellisa looked up and saw Janice's gaze filled with anxiety and concern. If this had happened before the accident, Mellisa would be overjoyed. But now he no longer needs all of that.
She smiled faintly and said, "I haven't been home for the last five years and I'm living well. Don't worry about me. Just take care of you. I'll be back when I have time."
After speaking, Mellisa turned slightly towards Leonard behind her.. The man immediately caught his point and pushed his wheelchair past Janice.
