Natalie looked at Kate Verdan, just wanting an honest answer.
Kate Verdan grew tense at Natalie's words, struggling to control her emotions.
"Of course I wish you were Ms. Ward, so you could have all the wealth and luxury Marie has. But a lie can't become the truth. I was wrong, and I'm so sorry."
Fiona said, "Natalie, I think Mom is really upset. Maybe you really aren't a Ward. But no matter what, you're my sister. You'll always be my sister."
"Yes, I know."
"We're going to head back to the hospital. Even though Martin Doyle is in the ICU and we can't be with him, I just feel more at ease being there. I'm sorry, Mrs. Lockwood, but we have to go."
As Kate Verdan was about to leave with Fiona, Natalie suddenly spoke up.
"Mom, let me go to the hospital with you."
Mrs. Lockwood didn't really want Natalie to go with them. She felt her mother-in-law had a point: Kate Verdan was probably only saying this to protect her biological daughter.
But she couldn't stop Natalie.
It was impossible to prove anything without evidence.
