Chapter 143
Chapter 143
Jocelyn looked at Skyler in disbelief and her expression unchanging. “Skyler… …”. She wanted to apologize and thank him but did not know how to say it at that moment. She stayed silent for a while before finally asking a brainless question, “Didn’t Michael say that the letter is a fake?”
As soon as she said it, Jocelyn wanted to hit herself. Why did she not know what was the right thing to say!
Now she finally understood why Skyler was not curious at all when he heard the servant tell him that Lily had threatened her with the letter.
He had already known about it!
Skyler looked at her mockingly. “At this point, don’t tell me that you don’t know that it was me that made him say that!”
Jocelyn bit her lip. “Mr. Moore, I’m sorry. Thank you!” Skyler knew what she meant by that.
She was sorry for misunderstanding him and thanked him for retrieving the letter.
He snorted coldly. “You don’t have to say anything, I don’t need your thanks either!
Initially, I was hesitant about whether or not I should give this letter to you. If I knew that you were so ungrateful, I would’ve given it to you the moment I got it! Take it! Get out of my sight!
Jocelyn took the letter from Skyler but did not look at it.
She looked at him uneasily and her tone carried a hint of guilt. “Mr. Moore, I didn’t know that you helped with Chad and Lily’s wedding because of this letter. I’m sorry!”
Skyler gave her a cold look. “I don’t need your apologies!” Jocelyn bit her lip. “No matter what you say, I still want to thank you, Mr. Moore!”
Skyler turned around and walked towards the window without looking at Jocelyn again.
Jocelyn held onto the letter helplessly and turned to walk out. When she got to the room, she opened the letter that she had been longing for. When she finished reading the letter, she finally understood why Skyler had hidden the fact that he had it when he received it.
By the looks of it, he was afraid that she would be angry.
For the first time, Jocelyn felt Skyler’s kind heart despite his cold expression.
Jocelyn had countless questions about the letter in the past, but after she finished reading it, she finally knew what its contents were and why Skyler was hesitant on giving it to her.
She was extremely touched by Skyler’s actions.
The letter her mother left her told her that she was not her mother and Michael’s biological daughter.
Jocelyn also understood why Michael’s treatment of her got increasingly worse when her mother died. It turns out that it was because he knew her identity.
That year when Grace was about to give birth, she learned about Michael’s affair. He even had a child with the mistress that was only two months younger than her.
When Grace had an obstructed labor, Michael was by his mistress’ side.
In the end, the child died on the operating table which almost drove Grace insane. She had dragged her broken body to the hospital roof and wanted to commit suicide by jumping. On the roof of the hospital, she did not expect to encounter Jocelyn who had just been born.
That fresh life was Grace’s moment of redemption. When she saw the pitiful child, she was moved and felt that it was fate for her to meet that child. She felt that God had sent the child in front of her to make it up to her.
She felt pity for Jocelyn and in a moment of weakness, she carried the child downstairs and begged the doctors and nurses to help hide the child’s identity.
The doctors and nurses who delivered her baby pitied her since her husband was not present when she gave birth and her child had an obstructed labor so they hid the child’s identity. At that time, Michael also did not know Jocelyn’s true identity.
Grace stayed by Michael’s side in marriage for more than ten years because of Jocelyn.
When Jocelyn was in her teens, Grace knew that she did not have much time left so she chose to write the letter to tell Jocelyn her identity. As for whether Jocelyn wanted to find her biological parents when she was older or if she wanted to stay in the White family, the decision would be entirely up to her.
However, Grace did not expect that the letter would be sent to the White family after she died.
In the end, the letter did not fall into Jocelyn’s hands. When Michael saw the letter, he got curious and opened it to look at the contents. When he learned Jocelyn’s identity, it resulted in Jocelyn’s tragic life for ten long years
When Jocelyn finished reading the letter, she sat in the room in a daze and her feelings were incredibly complicated.
She roughly understood why Skyler did not want her to read the letter. He was worried that she would be uncomfortable if she did not know her true parent’s identity if she knew about it.
She was touched as she did not expect that he had such a caring side to him.
However, no matter what, she could not negate Skyler’s initial intention which was to help her retrieve the letter.
She thought about Skyler’s injured wrist and immediately stood up.
She put away the letter and called for the housekeeper to get the family doctor.
Jocelyn scolded Whitie in the living room and rubbed his little head. “You can’t claw people like that in the future, okay? Skyler and I are both your saviors!”
Jocelyn was patting its head happily regardless of whether or not Whitie could understand. When the family doctor arrived, he was shocked. “Was Mr. Moore clawed by a person?”

Jocelyn immediately recalled that she had just taken a rabies vaccine and tetanus shot.
She felt a little awkward. “Mr. Moore was clawed by a cat! Follow me upstairs!”
Jocelyn led the doctor upstairs and knocked on the study’s door.
Skyler was eating a mint-flavored candy which he flicked irritably with the tip of his tongue. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
When he heard the knock on the door, Skyler thought that it was Jocelyn who had finished reading the letter and wanted to reconcile.
After all, neither the housekeeper nor the servants would go upstairs when he was at home.
He walked over with a grim face, opened the door, and said in a cold tone, “Didn’t I tell you to get out of my sight? Do you not understand English?” He spoke in the heat of the moment and he only realized the family doctor was standing beside Jocelyn.
