Chapter 637: Chapter 637: I Am Your Uncle
They didn’t know each other, so why should she trust that he wouldn’t harm her.
As if sensing what Enna was thinking, a strand of Edward’s meticulous hair fell, and his tea-colored eyes blinked at her, full of warmth. “Because, I am your uncle.”
“What did you say?” Enna widened her eyes in shock!
Uncle? Her uncle?
How could the mysterious head of the legendary Habsden Family be her uncle?
What kind of joke was this?
When did her family have such a relative? If they had such a relative, her auntie wouldn’t be pestering Jacob for money all day long.
She had never heard that she had an uncle; her grandpa only had two daughters, no sons!
But, given this man’s identity in front of her, there was no reason to deceive her.
“I said, I am your uncle.” Edward repeated patiently.
Enna’s emotions were in disorder, her mind blank, her mouth open as she looked at him with complicated eyes. “…Mr. Jackson, are you mistaken? I don’t have an uncle, nor have I ever heard of having one.”
“You indeed haven’t heard of him, and even your mother probably doesn’t know she has a brother. She went missing accidentally when she was four years old. We have been looking for her all these years without any news. It wasn’t until I nearly ran into you on the streets of Linton City that I saw you resembled my mother at a younger age by seventy percent and suspected your mother ended up there. Later, I had someone investigate, and the result was as I thought. Your mother was indeed adopted by the Lewis family and then had you. As for why she never mentioned these things, it might be because she was too young back then and, due to the fright, she cannot recall her family…”
So, her mom wasn’t her grandpa’s biological daughter?
So, she and her auntie were never blood relatives from the start?
This news came too abruptly – it was too incredible. Enna couldn’t accept it all at once.
She had just woken up, and her body was still weak. The sudden revelation made her temples throb, and her head spun. She leaned on the table beside her, gripping it tightly, trying to stay awake. “I… ”
Edward already knew his sister had passed away early, and his niece had suffered a lot, so he was especially gentle and spoke before Enna, “I know it’s hard for you to accept all this at the moment, but what I said is true. There’s no doubt about it that Habsden Family blood flows in you. I am your uncle, and I won’t hurt you; that’s also beyond doubt. So, for the time being, recover here. I’ll have someone take care of you.”
“I want to go back to the Hilton Hotel.” Enna’s mind was a mess, but she said firmly.
Although she didn’t know what was going on, she still worried about Baron Lawrence.
“I can’t fulfill that request, but I’ll do my best to satisfy everything else. Now, rest. There will be a private nurse to take care of you soon. You need to finish the glucose drip; otherwise, your body will be too weak.” He paused and added, “Before your body fully recovers, rest here. You can rest assured that I will protect you while you’re with me.”
