Chapter 675

“Did you get hurt?”

Alicia shook her head.

Alicia always felt an odd sense of security from Regina’s gentle demeanor and appearance, which made her instinctively want to protect her.

“I’m okay.” Alicia looked at her, her voice softening as she said, “You seem off. Is something bothering you?”

Regina met her gaze, then smiled faintly.

“No.”

She was just a little disappointed.

After discovering that Alicia’s birthday was the same as Yolanda’s, she began to suspect a mix-up at birth and decided to have a DNA test done with Yolanda.

The DNA test results confirmed they were indeed mother and daughter.

No error had been made.

So, Regina’s gut feeling was incorrect, and there was no familial tie to Alicia.

What a shame.

Noticing Alicia with a medical form, Regina asked with concern, “Are you feeling okay?”

Alicia responded, “Just dealing with irregular periods, I’m getting them checked out.”

“Alright.” Regina sighed in relief and said, “Make sure you take care of yourself.”

Alicia nodded and continued on her way.

While waiting outside, Alicia’s thoughts drifted to the report and her father. He had secretly conducted a similar test in the past too. It seemed his demeanor had shifted dramatically afterward. Alicia didn’t suspect her mother of betrayal, but there seemed to be some odd misunderstanding involved.

Out of nowhere, her phone began to ring.

It was Blake, sounding worried.

“Alicia, there’s a problem with some of the paintings. You need to come over right away.”

Realizing it was a work-related issue, Alicia rushed back to the gallery.

The issue with the paintings wasn’t critical, and while it appeared someone was stirring trouble, a solution was within reach.

They quickly devised a plan, though it meant Blake would be busy for the next few days and couldn’t leave Warrington.

Noticing Alicia’s pallor, Blake asked, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Alicia dismissed his concern, saying, “It was just a shock. I feared something had happened to the company.”

Blake lightened the mood as he teased, “With your current status, why do you get so easily shocked? Is Caden treating you poorly?”

Alicia gave a weak smile and returned to her office to rest.
