Chapter 597 Edmund''s One And Only Concern
"The news is notpletely inurate through. Indeed, there was a time when Ca was engaged to
Noah. However, as far as I know, the only interaction that she with the son of the Ouyang family was
when shepeted with him in a horse race..."
Before Edmund could finish talking, Eunice turned around and interrupted him.
"I heard that some people saw Ca and Johnny walking around the old town. They had even been
seen sitting very closely in one car. I guess that''s not true either,"
shemented as she closely watched Edmund''s reaction.
At that moment, Edmund was holding a pair of scissors on his hand. With one swift snap, he was able
to easily cut down an extra branch off the nt in front of him. "Eunice, you are a member of the An
family now. You need to have a pair of keen eyes to discern the truth from the lies. Especially to the
things that you see on the Inte. A lot of those are misleading, misinformed and even half-truths.
With a single article online, someone''s reputation could go down the drain. It doesn''t matter whether
the source is reliable or not. Unfortunately, this is verymon in our society right now."
Edmund was right. With the convenience of social media these days, not a lot of people cared about
the truth. Only a few would care to check if what they read and see online were trustworthy.
They werepletely ignorant of the fact that most of what they read were just one-sided opinions.
At that point in time, Eunice was watering the nts. Her hand froze when she heard what Edmund
had said. He didn''t directly say it but it was clear to her. She didn''t expect how much faith and trust he
had in Ca.
She turned to look at Sally who was running around and ying outside the room.
Eunice couldn''t believe how much Edmund''s attitude had changed towards Ca after she gave birth
to Sally.
Eunice had Eric, her son. However, she had never felt that Edmund had treated her differently.
But instead of voicing out the injustice and jealousy that she felt, she said, "You''re right, Father. I will
keep that in mind and I won''t judge Ca any more. But, Father, I don''t know Ca very well. I had only
met her a few times before she got into that ident. And after she hade back, I only saw her
once or twice."
"I guess what happened in the past doesn''t really matter anymore. She hase back with Terence''s
daughter. Even if she hadmitted some mistakes before, I think it could easily be forgiven."
Eunice thoughtfully said while she continued to look at Sally, who was now ying with a toy airne
outside. She then looked at Edmund who was still carefully trimming the nt in front of him.
"It''s kind of interesting though. Ca had been married to Terence in JA City for so long but not once
did I hear anything about her pregnancy. But right after the ident, it was revealed that she had been
pregnant all along. It even seemed like the ident helped her to get pregnant,"
Eunice casually mumbled in a low voice.
With that, Edmund coughed and put down the pair of scissors in his hand.
"Grandpa, look! My ne is huge and nice, don''t you think so?"
Sally ran up cheerfully towards Edmund while holding the ne model on her hands.
"Sally! You''re here! Come over and give Grandpa a big hug..."
But before he could proceed to hug the little girl, Edmund took the wet towel from the servant. After
making sure that his hands were all clean, he picked up Sally and put her on hisp. "Sally, can you tell
Grandpa the name of the ce that you and Mommy had stayed in beforeing here?"
At that moment, Sally was imitating the sound of an airne. She stopped so she could respond to her
Grandpa''s question.
"Grandpa, are you talking about Sister Abby''s home?"
Then, Edmund asked, "Were there other people living in Sister Abbey''s home with you?"
He knew Terence had visited the ce, but he hadn''t asked too much about it.
"Yes! There''s Brother Bob, Aunty Cathy and Uncle Duke!" Sally said and held her airne as high as
she could. With a hard swing, she let the ne go.
"It''s flying! It''s flying! My ne is flying!"
Within a few seconds, the ne crashed on the ground.
Meanwhile, Eunice cried out in pain.
It turned out that the ne had hit her before it finallynded on the ground.
Eunice''s face twisted into annoyance. She was really irritated so she kicked the ne away from her.
"Eunice, what are you doing?" Edmund scolded.
Sally saw with her own eyes when Eunice kicked her ne away. Her little face crumpled up in
annoyance. She quickly got off Edmund''sp, ran to her ne and picked it up.
She looked at it carefully and found out that the left front tire of the ne was broken.
"Waaaaah! Grandpa! It''s broken..."
Sally cried out as tears started to fill her eyes. She held the precious toy closely by her chest with one
hand. She ran to Edmund as her other hand held the broken tire.
The closer she got to Edmund, the harder she cried. "Grandpa, this... this is the ne that you gave to
me thest time I... I was here. I liked it too... too much to y with it at home. Waaaah... I just yed it
today. And now, it''s already broken... Eunice is a bad... bad Aunt!"
Edmund instantly picked Sally up and tried tofort her. "It''s okay! It''s okay! Don''t cry! It''s not a big
deal! Grandpa will just buy you a new and better one!"
Then, Edmund turned to Eunice and stated, "Eunice, she didn''t mean to hit you with the ne. Why do
you look so angry?"
He was even shaking his head while he scolded Eunice.

He didn''t give Eunice a chance to respond. He just wiped the tears off Sally''s face and took her
downstairs.
Eunice could only watch their receding figures while she bit her lower lip in anger. She caressed her left
shoulder where she had been hit by the ne and mumbled, "What an old fool to regard such a little
bastard so preciously."
Edmund had gone so there was no point for Eunice to water the nts. No one was going to
appreciate her anymore.
With that in mind, she grabbed her phone and walked out.
Suddenly, what Sally said shed through her mind. She was surprised to find out that a couple had
saved Ca.
She wondered how Ca found out that she was pregnant when she was in BT Vige.
Eunice found it hard to believe that it was just a mere coincidence.
With these thoughts in mind, she looked at the direction where Edmund had left with her discerning
eyes.
In the living room, Ca had finished up. She was just thinking about finding Sally so they could go
back to the Seaview Vi when Edmund entered the room with the little girl in his arms.
"Sally, are you crying? What did you do this time, my little trouble maker?"
Ca asked as she took Sally from Edmund''s arms and pinched her little nose.
"Ca, don''t me the little kid for anything. She didn''t do anything wrong. It was Eunice''s fault. Sally
identally hit Eunice with her ne while she was ying. Then, Eunice kicked the toy and broke the
ne,"
Edmund exined, standing up for Sally.
"Mommy, Eunice is a bad aunt! She broke my precious ne!"
Sallyined with a huge pout while she continued to sniff through her nose.
Edmund knew Sally was not going to let it go easily. He lightly touched her little head. "Grandpa
promised you that he''s going to get you a better one, didn''t he?"
Then, he turned his head to Ca and said, "Ca, Eunice didn''t do it on purpose. Please don''t think
about it too much."
Edmund knew that he was the father-inw for both Ca and Eunice. He didn''t want to see two of his
family members fight. He wanted this family to be happy and in harmony.
"I understand, Father. Anyways, I''m free now, so I''m going to take Sally back," Ca said to Edmund
with a small smile on her face.
"Okay. Sally, don''t cry. Grandpa will have a lot of different airnes for you when youe next time!"
Edmund softly said with a little coo as he touched her baby face with great care.
Then, Ca and Sally left without any more interruptions.
Edmund let out a heavy sigh. When Ca and Sally had been gone a little while, he took out his phone
and called Terence.
"Terence, did you have a paternity test on Sally?"
"Father, is there something wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about that?"
Terence, who was sitting in his office, asked with a deep frown.
"Nothing''s wrong, I''m just a little concerned. You and Ca had been married for half a year before she
went missing. I like Sally but everything just seems to be too perfect. I''m just a little concerned about
Sally''s identity,"
Edmund said with honesty. He didn''t care about a lot of things. However, when it came to things about
their family and anything that had to do with them, he had to be extra careful.
"Father, you worry too much! We already took the test the week that I met Sally. She is my biological
daughter," Terence said on the other side of the line in a firm tone.
"Oh, is that so? Then, that''s good to know. I just simply thought about it today and wanted to check with
you."
Edmund let out a sigh of relief. "Don''t think too much about it then. I''ll let you go to your duties. If you
have the time,e over and have dinner with me. That''s it. Bye."
Edmund finally felt better after he hung up. He then thought about how impossible it was for Sally not to
be Terence''s daughter. She looked just like him.
He figured that he was just getting too old to think clearly about some things that he even started to
suspect the unnecessary things.
The news about Ca that had been spreading waspletely exaggerated. He was Terence''s father,
so naturally, he had checked Ca''s background before they got married. There were a lot of things
about the news that didn''t add up.
When he heard about it, he didn''t give it a second thought.
He only cared about one thing. As long as Sally was his granddaughter, he had nothing to worry about.
On the other end of the call, Terence didn''t put his phone down. He quickly called Ca afterward.
"Ca, where are you?"
"We just left Father''s house. Sally and I are on our way back home."
Ca had just walked out of the East Yard''s door with Sally.
"Don''t go home. I miss you. Let''s meet up! Tell the driver to take you straight to thepany,"
Terence said as he narrowed his eyes in a smile.
