NovelEnglishChapter 725 Daniel looked closely at Jean's face, searching for any resemblance to Evelyn. Unfortunately, he couldn't find much. Perhaps it was because Jean hadn't grown up with Evelyn.
Jean lay before him with her eyes tightly closed, her lips pale, cheeks flushed, and body curled up, trembling as if she was either convulsing or freezing.
Usually, a man like him, upon learning that his wife had once borne another man's child, should be livid, ready to tear his wife apart in a fit of rage. But instead of anger, there was only an endless wave of disappointment and a strange sense of relief.

Back then, the Middleton family proposed that Evelyn should marry him to help raise the baby-no wedding ceremony needed, just the marriage certificate.
Daniel knew exactly what the Middletons were after. They just wanted to secure their connection to his family, unwilling to give up their comfortable lifestyle. So, less than a month after their eldest daughter's passing, they hurriedly sent over their younger one.

"Jeanie's sick, Danie. She's burning up! Could you please arrange for a doctor to take a look at her? I know she messed up big time, but you can't just sit back and watch her die in our home, can you? She's been through so much over the years. Surely you can find it in your heart to help her!"
Evelyn was heartbroken seeing her daughter in such a fragile state, and she was willing to drop to her knees to plead with Daniel for his help. And so, she did. "Please, Daniel, I'm begging you. Please help her!"
