Chapter 220
Maria finally looked at herself and realized how messy her clothes were, recognizing it wasn't appropriate to stay
in the hospital like this. She also understood that Paisley was being considerate of her. "Alright, I'll go home
tonight and cback tomorrow morning," said Maria. "Don't worry, Rena's fine now, and I'm here with her.
Nothing will happen," said Paisley.
Hearing Paisley's reassurance, Maria's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed. What followed was an overwhelming
sense
of exhaustion. Paisley was right-she really did need srest.
Maria grabbed her bag and headed to the door. As she opened it, she saw a tall figure leaning against the wall,
head down, expression unreadable. It was Dominick. Hearing the door, Dominick immediately looked up. But
when he saw that it was Maria and not Paisley herself, the light in his

seyes dimmed. Maria noticed the change in his expression, then turned to look at Paisley in the room.
"Paisley," she said, motioning toward Dominick with her chin, her eyes hinting at something.
Paisley immediately understood Maria's implication and, with a somber look, nodded. She knew that if she didn't
give Dominick an explanation today, he wouldn't leave. After signaling Maria to go home, and ensuring Serena
wouldn't wake up soon, Paisley walked to the door. The moment she saw Dominick up close, she was startled.
She hadn't paid much attention to him before, but now, up close, she realized he had lost a lot of weight. His
already well-
defined face now looked even sharper, with hollowed eyes and slightly red corners.
Just one glance revealed how broken he was. Seeing
Paisley, his eyes turned even redder. "Paisley, you're finally willing to see
me
"And if I hadn't cout? What would you have done? Forced your way in?" Her gaze drifted to Julian and the
highly trained bodyguards standing behind him. Dominick let out a bitter laugh, his voice low. "You know |
wouldn't do that to you. Those men are here to protect you and
Rena
"Thanks, but | don't need them." Paisley really didn't-
this was a hospital, so it was safe. And even if she needed protection, she could arrange it herself.
She was slightly surprised-
this man hadn't immediately confronted her about lying about Serena's blood type. Instead, he seemed certain
that Serena was his daughter.
It made sense. When she revealed that Serena's blood type was O, Dominick must have already figured
everything out.
Dominick's voice was hoarse, "Paisley, | looked at Rena's hospital registration and saw her birthday. So, when we
got divorced, you were already pregnant, weren't you?" "What are you trying to say?" Paisley didn't want to
revisit the past. Those memories weren't pleasant.
"Why didn't you tell me? If you had, | wouldn't have signed the divorce papers back then."

Paisley found it laughable. Not to mention, at the time, she hadn't even known she was pregnant.
Even if she had known, would she really want to use a child to humbly salvage that failed marriage? Doing so
would only make her even more miserable.
Dominick understood the decisiveness and sarcasm in Paisley's eyes. If he could, he would go back in tand
kill that arrogant, selfish version of himself.
"Paisy, | really know | was wrong. Please forgive me, for the sake of our children, okay? Sonny needs his mother,
Rena needs her father, don't they?"
Paisley shook her head. "Dominick, there's something | hope you understand. Sonny's mother doesn't
have to be me. You can find any woman to be his mother. Similarly, Rena's father doesn't have to be you. | can
find any man to be her father."
At that moment, Max walked over holding two delicate food containers. When he saw Paisley standing at the
hospital door, he smiled warmly, "Are you hungry? | asked Leo and the others to pack sfood for you." As he
reached the door, Max acted as if he had just seen Dominick. "Oh, Mr. Ex is here too? Do you want to join us for a
meal?"
If one didn't know better, they might think he was Paisley's generous current boyfriend.
