Lee Jingyuan recalled his memories from the past. His voice was filled with sadness. "That was more than twenty years ago. My third son, Lee Xuan, met a woman. That woman was selfish and insisted upon my son to marry into her family. What did her demand count for? Her family background was not of any value. I was so angry at the time, I locked Lee Xuan up for several days and gave him a good beating. Still, he insisted on being with that woman."
Jennie remained silent as she listened.
"I once sought that woman out and tried to give her some money to leave Lee Xuan, but she refused. I thought that she had taken a liking to Lee Xuan's status as the Lee family's third young master, and desired more than that sum of money." Lee Jingyuan's voice was filled with both anger and sadness. "Afterwards, for the sake of revealing her true colours to Lee Xuan, I gave him two choices. The first was to remain in the Lee family and breakup with her, while the second was to scram out of the Lee family forever if he wished to marry her. This would mean that he would no longer be related to the Lee family and could not tell anyone that he was the Lee family's third son."
He sighed heavily. "I only thought about giving Lee Xuan a scare. I didn't expect him to choose the second option without hesitating in the slightest. I also did not expect that he would completely disappear from my life from that day onwards."
Lee Jingyuan's tears began to flow. "Truthfully, over the past few years, my initial anger, upset and worry... has been replaced by regret. But despite my efforts to look for him, he never returned. I did not expect Somi to approach me with news of his death. If he had struggled to provide a living for himself outside and sought my help, I would have forgiven him."
Jennie reached for some tissues and handed it to him. "Grandfather Lee, may I ask what that woman's name was?"
"Xuan Er called him Xiao Lan." Lee Jingyuan wiped his tears. "She was a common woman of lowly birth. I never looked into her background."
"Even the names are the same..." Jennie murmured softly.
"What?" Lee Jingyuan did not understand.
"My mother's name is Kim Lilan," said Jennie suddenly.
It was public knowledge that Dong Lee had married into his wife's family. Jennie's birth mother was Kim Lilan... Lee Jingyuan began to suspect something. He turned to Jennie in shock and hope. "Could it be that..."
"Grandfather Lee." Jennie suddenly said, "Didn't you say that you conducted a DNA test to confirm your relationship with Somi? Take a guess. What blood type do you think Somi has?"
"My Lee family's bloodline is the rare Rh B Negative Blood." Lee Jingyuan suggested. "She should have the same."
"A few days ago, you fell into a coma due to the serious injury on your forehead and needed a blood transfusion." Jennie explained the matter. "The doctor asked Somi and she said her blood type was O, and that she took after her mother."
"Although that is possible, the likelihood is quite small." Lee Jingyuan was deep in thought. "Who donated the blood to me, then?"
"It was me." Jennie pointed at herself.
"What a coincidence. Your blood type is also Rh Negative B?"
"En." She smiled. "You also find this to be a coincidence. There is something even more coincidental. This hospital doesn't have this blood in their reserve. But Jia Ya Hospital currently has three people with this blood type."
Lee Jingyuan took in her charming little face and genuinely felt the urge to love and protect her as one did to their family. "Besides the two of us, who is the other person?"
