NovelEnglishChapter 825 So Cruel
How can there be such cruelty in the world?
Cecilia still couldn't believe it. “You must be lying to me, right?”
Paula’s throat felt bitter.
“Cecilia, | was indeed pregnant once, but then Ralph foundand wanted to reconcile. For him, | aborted the
child.”
She continued, “But after | had the abortion, Ralph was unwilling to marryand ended up marrying Queenie.
To avoid raising suspicion with Regas, | found a baby on the day we had originally scheduled for delivery. That
baby was you.”
Having said this, Paula finally felt a sense of relief.
“I've wronged Regas. It might be because | aborted that nearly full-term child that | ended up with this illness.
It's all karma,” Paula said through tears and laughter.
Cecilia’s mind was in turmoil. She had suddenly gone from being the prominent young lady of the Smith family
to an orphan.
The magnitude of the change was too overwhelming for her to accept.
“No wonder you've never liked me,” she said with a hoarse voice, standing up.
“But Dad never knew the truth before he died. You're so heartless.”
Cecilia fought to keep her tears at bay.
Only now did Paula truly realize her mistakes. Her eyes were red as she looked at Cecilia. “Your father’s death
was indeed not an accident. On the day before your wedding, | drove that car to meet Ralph. But | really didn't
tamper with the vehicle. If there was a problem with the car, it might have been Ralph's doing.”
Paula recalled that after meeting Ralph, they had left the car in the underground garage for a period of time,
What happened during that twas unknown.
At this point, Cecilia no longer knew which of her words were true and which were false.
“I hope you're not lying tothis time.”
After saying this, she prepared to leave.

Paula called out to her again. “Ceci.”
Cecilia paused. “Is there something else?”
Paula’s lips trembled slightly. “No, nothing...”
She wanted to apologize, but she had never said “sorry” to Cecilia before.
Cecilia pushed open the door and walked out of the ward.
Once outside, the caregiver asked, “Is she okay?”
Cecilia simply nodded. She couldn’t say anything.
She didn’t know how she made it to the car, but once she sat in the seat, her gaze becvacant.
Sven noticed her distress.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
Cecilia snapped back to reality. She took a deep breath, and said to Sven, “Please, helpget a DNA test with
Paula.”
Since Paula was being treated at the hospital, getting a DNA test was simple.
After Cecilia handed over her biological samples to Sven, she closed her eyes.
Upon receiving the sample, Sven immediately got out of the car.
Once he left, Cecilia was alone in the car. Paula’s words echoed in her mind.
“You're not the biological daughter of Regas and me. | found you at the orphanage.”
No wonder Paula had been so cruel toall these years. No wonder she preferred Cassandra over me. No
wonder she didn’t even care if | died. Turns out she isn’t my biological mother.
Cecilia really wanted to cry out loud. Living as Paula’s daughter for these years had been exhausting.
“Why did you have to deceive me?”
She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips digging into her palms.
