Chapter 482 Sydney Was Devastated


    Luke''s mother nodded her head, "No."


    "No way!" Sydney jerked to her feet and shook her head emotionally, her face pale." How could it be


    possible that I''m not my parents'' real daughter?"


    "What? Sydney is not her parents’ real daughter?" Luke had just hung up on his father. He heard


    Sydney’s scream as soon as he came in. He was stunned.


    He walked quickly up to his mother. “Mom, do you know what you’re talking about? How can


    Sydney not be her parents'' real daughter?"


    "I know what I''m talking about. And it is the truth." Luke''s mother sighed.


    Sydney''s body began to tremble violently, and her face grew paler, her pupilsx, "No! No way! No


    way!" "Mom, how is that possible?” Luke couldn''t believe it. He stared at his mother. "A couple of


    days ago, I told you that the baby I first saw at the Raines family''s house when I was a child was not


    Sydney and that she became suspicious of her origin, so she went to South Lake to find out if she


    was her parents'' real daughter. Iter asked you about this matter and you told me that the baby I


    first saw was a child of Raines’ rtive and that Sydney was her parents'' real daughter. Why do you


    say she isn''t now?"


    Sydney''s eyes reddened as she looked at Luke''s mother. Her eyes had a desperate look. "Auntie,


    you''re lying to me, right? I am my parents'' daughter!"


    "I''m sorry, Sydney. I did lie to you, but not this time. Thest time I said that the baby Luke saw was


    your parents'' rtive''s child because I didn’t want to upset you. But in fact, that baby was your


    parents'' real daughter. But that baby died five months after birth, so your father went to an


    orphanage and adopted you to rece that baby. He tried to keep your mother from mental


    breakdown because of the child''s death."


    Luke''s mother’s words instantly extinguished the hope in Sydney’s heart.


    Sydney''s body swayed. Finally, she lost her foot stand and copsed onto the couch. Her whole


    body was devoid of all energy as if she had lost her soul.


    ''So was the truth.’ ''No wonder Grandpa hid the pictures of that baby so carefully in his study


    because it wasn''t a rtive''s child at all but his real granddaughter.’


    ''Grandfather lied to me. I am not his real granddaughter, but an orphan adopted from an orphanage


    who doesn''t know who her parents are.''


    ''My parents who raised me since I was a baby were not my real parents, and Grandpa is not mine.


    Even the name Sydney is not mine.’


    ''I''m just an orphan who took the ce of the real Sydney!''


    Thinking of this, Sydney curled her mouth and showed a hint of bitterness on her lips.


    Seeing Sydney so sad, Luke felt pity for her.


    He looked at his mother angrily, "Mom, why are you telling Sydney this? Last time you said that the


    baby was from a rtive of the Raines family. You obviously wanted to keep it a secret from


    Sydney. If you wanted to keep it from her, you should have kept it from her forever! Why are you


    telling her now?"


    Luke’s mother knew it would be hard for Sydney to learn about the truth, but she had to tell the girl.


    Luke’s mother let out a long breath, "I felt so anxious after I lied. I wasn''t sure if I was right to lie


    about it. Then I looked at the pictures of Sydney''s mom and remembered what she had told me


    before she died, so I decided to tell Sydney about it."


    "Why? If you don''t tell her, how will she know?" Luke clenched his fists.


    Luke’s mother looked at him, "Do you really think Sydney will never know about it? I didn’t say a


    word about Sydney''s origin at all before, but she learned about the child and began to suspect her


    origin. Do you really think we can hide the truth from her forever?"


    Luke was choked.


    Luke''s mother went on, "Even if I don''t tell Sydney about it today, she’ll find out about itter."


    Then she turned to Sydney, "Sydney, your parents have ns for your future. They knew that even


    if they founded Skylight Corporation, no one could guarantee thepany would run forever, and


    they couldn''t guarantee no ident would ever ur to them, so they saved arge amount of


    money for you when you were very young." "Arge amount of money?" Sydney raised her eyes.


    Luke''s mother nodded, "Yes. They thought that if Skylight ever failed, or if they ever had an ident


    and left you alone, you could get on with your life, so they kept arge amount of money for you in


    the bank. When you turn thirty, the bank will officially notify you of the deposit. You will need to take


    your mom and dad''s files to the bank to go through the formalities to get money. By then, you will


    find out that your blood type is different from theirs on the files. So I''m sure that even if I don''t tell


    you today, you''ll learn about itter."

    "I can''t believe it!" Luke eximed.


    Sydney clenched her lips and didn''t say anything.


    Luke''s mother patted Sydney''s shoulder. " Sydney, forgive me for telling you this out of the blue. I


    care about you. The secret can''t be kept from you forever. The fact that your parents left you with


    such arge amount of money definitely shows that they didn''t intend to keep it from you, because


    you have the right to know who you really are, so your mother left me this box and asked me to give


    it to you when you knew the truth But I thought it best to give it to you sooner and tell you the truth


    earlier."


    "Why?" Luke was puzzled.


    Luke''s mother nced at him, "Because if Sydney had known about it earlier, she could have been


    prepared. She could have known how she got to the Raines family. And if Sydney had found out on


    her own that she wasn''t her parents'' daughter, she would have been more devastated."


    Now Luke was speechless because his mother was right.


    Now that Luke''s mother told Sydney the truth, Sydney would know that the Raines loved her as


    their own daughter. It was better than Sydney finding out the truthter on her own.


    If Sydney identally learned that she wasn''t her parents'' real daughter, she might think things in a


    complicated way, and she might do something crazy.


    "Sydney," Luke''s mother said, leaning over and holding Sydney gently in her arms. "I know you''re


    shocked and you can''t ept it right now, but I hope you don''t think too much about it. Even though


    you are not your parents'' biological daughter, you are their real daughter in their hearts. They loved


    you. Do you understand?"


    "I understand." Tears burst out of Sydney''s eyes and fell onto the back of her hands. She began to


    sob, "I know they loved me very much and treated me like their own. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have


    nned so much for me. I just... couldn''t take it for the present."


    When Luke''s mother told Sydney the truth, Sydney was truly devastated.


    Growing up, she had always been loved by her parents. Although Sydney''s mom died when Sydney


    was five years old, her dad loved her as much as ever.


    She couldn''t imagine that she wasn''t their real daughter.


    However, the truth was...


    Sydney couldn''t understand why fate had to y such a big joke on her.
