Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 156

Stefan whispered, "My wife isn't the biological daughter of the Moore family; she was adopted by her parents over twenty years ago."

Without waiting for Ethan to say anything, he continued, "Even if you didn't bring it up, I was planning to ask you a favor. Could your mother and my wife take a DNA test? Before meeting you, my wife had two dreams where your mother was holding her, calling her baby."

Ethan was stunned. He had never encountered something this strange.

No wonder Stefan didn't have any doubts and was so upfront about Lucinda not being the Moore family's biological daughter.

It turned out that Lucinda had already seen his mother in her dreams and suspected that she was her biological mother.

He had been searching for his sister for a long time, with no results. Today, his mother suddenly had a dream that his sister was in danger and was crying uncontrollably. Then he received a tip that his sister might be in Pinehurst.

He set out with his mother to find his sister, but she almost had an accident as they were leaving the hotel. Then, in a strange twist of fate, they ran into Lucinda's car.

This must be destiny.

Ethan tried to suppress his excitement and calm himself down. He remembered that when his sister disappeared, she was wearing a necklace with the name "Lucy" engraved on it.

It was a necklace their parents had custom-made before they were born. His necklace had "Ethan" engraved on it.

"Mr. Coleman, does your wife have a necklace? It should have 'Lucy' engraved on it; that's her name."

Stefan's face turned solemn.

The crazy woman his wife had dreamed about was almost certainly her biological mother.

The young man in front of him, Ethan, looked somewhat like Lucinda. He might just be Lucinda's twin brother.

He nodded solemnly and said, "Lucinda recently found out about her background. The clothes she was wearing when she was adopted are still intact. I've seen that necklace; it has 'Lucy' engraved on it. She goes by the name Lucinda now."

Ethan was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to find his long-lost sister so suddenly. What a twist!

"Has she encountered any danger recently?"

"She was kidnapped the day before yesterday; thankfully, we found out in time and she was rescued."

Ethan understood.

Even though his mother's dream about his sister being in danger happened two days after the actual event, it was still accurate.

His sister really was in danger, but thankfully, she was safe.

Stefan must have saved her.

If she were just an ordinary person, even if the police were called after the kidnapping, she might not have been rescued so quickly.

If Lucy had been successfully kidnapped, she probably wouldn't have survived. Ethan could tell that Stefan loved Lucinda deeply, always looking at her with affection in his eyes. Stefan was the heir of the Anderson family and the CEO of Ascend Global, a powerful figure in Pinehurst.

If anyone dared to harm his woman, they were asking for trouble.

That's why Lucinda was saved.

How lucky!

Lucky that Lucinda wasn't hurt!

Recalling how his sister almost got kidnapped, Ethan felt a mix of fear and anger.

He himself had already been the target of numerous assassination attempts, and now they were targeting his sister.

His father only had them as children. If they both died, those people would be able to inherit all of their father's wealth.

Large amounts of wealth truly tested people's character, revealing their coldness and ruthlessness.

"Can you guarantee that the DNA test here won't be tampered with?"

Ethan asked in a low voice.

"Our family is very complicated and full of dangers. I can't explain everything to you in detail right now. But to put it simply, besides me and my parents, no one wants my sister to return." With Stefan protecting Lucinda, she might be safer. But those people wouldn't give up so easily; they would definitely try to interfere.

For example, the results of a DNA test might not be accurate.

"In Pinehurst, I can guarantee the results won't be tampered with."

Ethan trustingly said, "Then let your wife and my mother take a DNA test. No matter the result, let's keep this a secret for now."

This was also for safety.

Stefan understood and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. We'll treat today's events as an accident."

They could pretend to know nothing for now.

Ethan extended his right hand, waiting for Stefan to shake it. Then he gratefully said, "No matter what, I want to thank you for your cooperation and understanding."

Stefan whispered, "I just want to help my wife find her biological parents."

After exchanging phone numbers, the two men returned to the hospital room as if nothing had happened.

Ethan took a few strands of his mother's hair and handed them to Stefan. Stefan was now in charge of the DNA testing.

None of Ethan's bodyguards knew about this.

Lucinda had already accepted in her heart that Janice was her biological mother. She wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of Janice, but the man who might be her biological brother suddenly kicked her and Stefan out of the room.

"You guys caused my mom to get injured and end up in the hospital. I don't need you here pretending to care. Because you apologized sincerely, brought my mom to the hospital, and paid the medical bills, I won't hold you responsible. But I don't want to see you, so get out!"

Ethan said this coldly and then closed the door.

The Blue family's bodyguards gave them sympathetic looks.

It wasn't their fault, but Ethan was most upset about Janice getting hurt. It was only natural that he would be angry. Kicking them out was a restrained reaction.

Lucinda, who hadn't faced many setbacks in life, couldn't accept Ethan's sudden change in attitude.

She wanted to knock on the door, but Stefan stopped her.

"Lucy, she just scraped her hand; she's out like a light now. There's not much we can do by sticking around; let's head back home and check on her tomorrow." Lucinda looked at her husband, seeing the depth in his eyes.

She couldn't decipher his gaze, but she knew he had her best interests at heart.

In the end, she abandoned the idea of knocking, allowing Stefan to lead her away.

On the way back home, Lucinda tried to broach the topic several times, but Stefan would gently hold her hand, signaling her to zip it for the car ride.

Because their driver was in the car, even though he was one of the Anderson family's loyal guys.

Not too many people should get wind of this matter for now.

When Ethan spilled the beans about how complex things were at home, Stefan got the gist that the Blue family was no safe haven.

Stefan wasn't planning to get the paternity test between Lucinda and Janice done at this point either. He was scheming to have someone else take care of it, to steer clear of prying eyes that might tamper with the result.

"Stefan."

Lucinda leaned into him.

"Are they really my family?"

Stefan held her close, whispering softly, "Pretty much a sure thing."
