Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 251

Julian Parks used to support Annalise Barton’s treatment of Sybil Xander’s brother. After all, the two families had a good relationship. However, now that Annalise was pregnant, he could not bear to let her tire herself out. He did not know if he was hallucinating, but Annalise’s face was no longer as rosy as before. It was a little pale, and she seemed tired. “What are you looking at?” Annalise asked with a smile when she saw Julian staring at her. Julian took Annalise’s hand and held it in his palm. He frowned slightly. “Sybil’s brother’s illness has been going on for a long time. It doesn’t matter if you take a look or not. I don’t want you to be so tired.” “It’s fine. I’m not experiencing any symptoms now. I’ll deal with whatever I can. I might not be able to do anything once I start to feel uncomfortable,” Annalise said with a smile.

Actually, you don’t have to work so hard…” Annalise shook her head. “No, I’m not tired. On the contrary, I feel very fulfilled. Every time I treat a patient, I accumulate new experience.” Julian reached out and patted Annalise’s head. How could there be such a person in this world who was so likable? Her every expression and word moved him. There were so many big shots who doted on her, like her mentors. She was capable and wealthy but had not forgotten her roots or beginnings. She still dedicated herself to treating patients even now.

They arrived at the Xander’s residence. Sybil was already waiting at the door. Sybil ran over with a smile when she saw their car. “You’re here?” Sybil came over and held Annalise’s hand. She said, “My brother has been sick for a long time, so his temper is a little strange. Don’t take it to heart if he sounds nasty sometimes.” “Don’t worry, I’m a doctor. I understand patients,” Annalise said. “Yes, my brother… He is quite pitiful.” Sybil could not hide the pity she felt at the mention of her brother. He had been bedridden for 20 years.

His face was as pale as a ghost. If not for the fact that the servants took good care of him and washed him often, he would probably have been in an even worse condition. Sybil led Annalise through the courtyard of the residence. Then they saw Nancy Zeller walk toward them, along with Yechiel Xander,

Sybil’s eldest brother. Surprised to see Annalise, Nancy greeted her politely, “Annalise, what a coincidence!” “Hello,” Annalise greeted. Nancy smiled again and said, “You guys can continue. I’m returning to the Zeller’s residence.” She had come to ask her father for the shops early in the morning. Initially, her father did not agree to add new shops, but he could not resist her acting pitifully.

She said that while she lived with the Zeller family, her stepfather didn’t dote on her, and her mother didn’t love her. If she hadn’t donated her bone marrow to her second uncle when she was young, her body wouldn’t have been so weak. And she wouldn’t only have had limited success in her twenties, blaming it on her health. She added that her second uncle was highly talented and managed Xander Group well. Later on, when Second Uncle fell sick, it was also because his father found a bone marrow that matched his that he gave up the position of president. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She knew that every time she wanted her father to do something, she just had to pretend to be pitiful and say that her body was weak from donating her bone marrow back then. It didn’t matter if he did not agree at first because he would after. When she saw Annalise at the Xander’s residence, she wanted to stay and see what they would do. However, because the Zeller family had a servant commit for long. Cide, she could not stay She was afraid of Julian, worried that he would notice something. Therefore, she left decisively. Anyway, she still had ample time to play with them. Sybil led Annalise to where her brother was. The Xander’s residence was a traditional-styled manor. There were pavilions, artificial mountains, lakes, and antiques. Sybil’s brother lived alone in a small house in a small courtyard. The courtyard was filled with orchids.

The weather was cold, and the servants were building a hot shed. They carefully moved the orchids into the hot shed. “Brother, are you feeling better today?” Sybil brought Annalise and Julian into the room. “Mm,” her brother replied slowly as he lay on the bed. “Brother, I brought a friend to visit you,” Sybil said. “There’s no need.” Her brother’s tone was very distant and clearly unwelcoming. “Brother, my friend is a doctor. Her mentor is Master Quigley and has great medical skills.” “I said no need!” he

said stubbornly. “Brother, you must get better to uncover the truth of what happened back then, right?” Sybil sighed.

“Get out! Get out, all of you!” He suddenly flew into a rage. Just a moment ago, he looked lifeless but could converse with Sybil properly. Then he blew up all of a sudden. Brother, please don’t be like this.” Sybil was anxious and heartbroken. “Get out!” He got up and threw a pillow at her. Sybil quickly caught the pillow and sighed. Annalise could tell that Sybil’s brother must have had a traumatic experience back then. That was why he flew into a rage when it was mentioned. She didn’t think it was a good time to continue. She said to Sybil, “Sybil, let’s come back another day.” Or they could let Sybil’s brother calm down. and they could come back in the afternoon.

“Wait a minute!” he suddenly said. Everyone froze. The servants immediately rushed in and pulled the curtains wide apart. Previously, the curtains were closed on one side. The lighting in the room was dim, and it felt like dusk. Now that the curtains were drawn, the room became instantly brighter. Annalise could see his face clearly. It was very pale. It was the kind of paleness that meant he had not basked in the sun for a long time. His sickly face looked like it was drained of colors. However, he was really good-looking and looked young for his age.

According to Sybil, he was almost 50 years. old, but he looked less than 40. He had good facial features and was very handsome. He was very delicate, but he did not look feminine at all. Instead, he exuded a heroic aura. While Annalise was sizing him up, his eyes were also staring at Annalise. The more he observed her, the more his frown deepened. Annalise retracted her gaze uncomfortably. Being stared at like this made her feel at a loss. Julian also felt that his gaze was somewhat abnormal. He immediately stood between them.

“You… What’s your name?” Sybil’s brother asked. He tried to calm himself. But his trembling voice betrayed him. “Heather Barton, is she your daughter?” he thought. “If not, why does she look so much like you?” “If she’s your daughter, then where are you?” “And when was she born?” He had too many

unanswered questions that he could only keep to himself. “Brother, what’s wrong? She’s my friend, Annalise Barton.” Sybil was a little frightened by her brother’s behavior. “Annalise Barton?” Her surname was Barton. Was she really Heather Barton’s daughter?

Why did she adopt her mother’s surname? Or could it be that the person Heather Barton loved deeply back then also had the same surname? Feeling terrible, he asked again, “Is Heather Baron your mother?” Annalise was stunned. Julian looked at him in surprise. He actually knew Annalise’s mother? Annalise looked at Sybil’s brother. “You know my mother?” she asked excitedly. So, her mother also lived in Jadeborough back then? Was it possible that her father was also from Jadeborough? Although she guessed that she and her mother had been abandoned, she still wanted to find the man who was her biological father.
