Chapter 155 – A Sacrificial Lamb’s Unexpected Marriage

Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

Oriana didn’t understand what old Mr. Hendrix was saying. She caressed the old man’s hand and laid. beside him with tears in her eyes.

“Grandpa, don’t you remember me? Oriana asked sadly, and wiped the tears that flowed down her eyes.

Mr. Hendrix stretched out his right hand and caressed Oriana’s hair.

“Oriana, my dear. You’ve grown so big in a blink of an eye.”

“You’ve been in coma for a long time, grandpa.” Oriana cried and sighed in relief as she realized that the old man still remembered her.

“Since you re grown now, there are some things that I have to tell you. In fact, your mother is my master, and you’re my young mistress.” The old man educated Oriana.

Oriana was stunned and was lost of words.

Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

“Oriana, I’m actually your mother’s housekeeper. In order to cover up your mortes identity, I allowed your mother and my son, Patrick, to get married to each other. You’re not Patrick’s daughter.” The old man explained.

Oriana froze as she tried to process Mr. Hendrix’s words.

Grandpa, who is my father then?” Oriana asked curiously.

Old Mr. Hendrix pondered for a while and then said,

“I don’t know about that either. I only know that my master was a free-spirited lady. She was the type that was all out to have fun. My master had only one friend, and that was her bestfriend. I can’t remember the name of the lady. One day, she had decided to have a child, one that would keep her company. So, she got pregnant with you.”

Mr. Hendrix had been in a vegetative state for a long time and couldn’t really remember everything.

Oriana was shocked, it turned out that the reason why her mother gave birth to her was because she needed a fun partner.

“But young mistress, you can be rest assured. The gene that was selected by Master must be the best amongst men. Your father must be a very powerful man.”

Oriana couldn’t help but notice the similarity between the tone of Mr. Hendrix and that of aunt Rebecca. “Grandpa, do you mean that my mum and dad had a one-night stand, and mum stole his semen and got pregnant with me?” Oriana asked inquisitively.

Old Mr. Hendrix let out a cough. He couldn’t allow anyone speak ill of his master.

“How can it be tagged as theft? With a daughter like you, I think the man has enough bragging rights till the day he dies.” Mr. Hendrix replied.

Oriana had nothing else to say regarding the issue.

Grandpa, how did my mum die? Was it because of Monica, Pamela or Gabriella? Did they also push you down the stairs?”

“It’s true that I was pushed down by them, but Oriana, they can’t get close to master. Master is way above their level. The cause of master’s death has nothing to do with them.”

The revelation was completely beyond Oriana’s expectations. She thought that the cause of her mother’s death was related to Monica and her daughters. But with Mr. Hendrix’s revelation, she realized that Monica and her children were nothing before her mother.

“Grandpa, how then did my mum die?” Oriana went on to ask.

Old Mr. Hendrix hesitated for a moment, then he said,

Young mistress, it’s better to regard master Joyce as missing, and not dead.”

Oriana’s eyes widened as she couldn’t believe what she just heard.

“Grandpa, are you saying that my mother is not dead?” Oriana asked swiftly, her heart pounding extremely fast.

Mr. Hendrix nodded lightly.

“Well, that’s what I think. Unless she committed suicide, even so, the kingdom of death can’t accept someone as powerful as master. Miss, what happened back then was too sudden. And before I could gather my thoughts, I was pushed down the stairs by Monica and her daughters,

Although without a clue, Oriana’s heart thumped fast as she realized that her mother was likely to still be alive.

“Grandpa, I want to find my mum. ” Oriana declared energetically.

Mr. Hendrix patted Oriana’s hands.

Then go to Imperial. Your mother’s footprints are there.”

Oriana nodded forcefully.

“I will grandpa. When you’re ready, I’ll take you with me to Imperial city.”

Mr. Hendrix shook his head lovingly. His dull eyes were filled with calmness.

“Oriana, where’s Patrick? Is he here?” He inquired.

“I placed a call to him, he should be here soon.” Immediately Oriana finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open and Patrick hurried in.

“Dad! My father! You’re finally awake! It’s been so hard living without you.” Patrick quickly threw his arms around Mr. Hendrix and cried on his chest.

Oriana was subconsciously pushed aside by Patrick. She felt that compared to Patrick, her reaction to old Mr. Hendrix could be tagged an unfilial.

However, Patrick was indeed filial. When old Mr. Hendrix was running the Hendrix family, Patrick was a heir to a rich man. The Hendrix family was prosperous, and Patrick had to worry about nothing.

Once Mr. Hendrix fell into a vegetative state, Patrick was forced to grow up alone. His wife, Monica had in no time become his manager, and as time wn, his hope and future depended solely on his daughter who returned from the university, Pamela. Patrick could be described as one who had experienced the warmth and coldness of humanity.

Mr. Hendrix was suddenly angry when he saw Patrick. He raised his weak hand and hit him twice.

“You useless child! I’m a worker to master Joyce, how could I give birth to an idiot like you?

Dad, don’t hit me anymore.” Patrick turned to look at Oriana and then he said,

“Oriana, I’m saddled with the bill of grandpa being here. Why did you have to take him away from where he was?”

Oriana let out a chuckle and then replied,

Patrick, grandpa is right, you really are st upid. Did you want me to wait until Monica and Pamela pushes grandpa down the second time?”

What?” Patrick froze and his expression was that of confusion.

“Oriana, wasn’t it you who pushed grandpa down the stairs ten year ago? Why are you falsely accusing Monica and Pamela?”

Oriana didn’t want to argue or banter words with Patrick, she calmly responded,

“You can ask grandpa yourself.”

“Dad, what’s going on?” Patrick asked in desperation for answers.

Mr. Hendrix wanted saying something, but when he opened his mouth, blood gushed rapidly onto his neck.

“Dad!” Patrick called out frightenedly.

Oriana’s gasped and quickly ran forward to check the old man’s pulse. Mr. Hendrix was poisoned. “Grandpa, don’t be afraid. You’ll be fine. I’ll give you an injection now.” Oriana wanted leaving to get some needle.

Mr. Hendrix held onto Oriana’s trembling hand and shook his head weakly.

“Young mistress, don’t worry about me anymore, I’m leaving. It feels so good to see you again, I fell relieved.”

Today was supposed to be a day of renninn, Oriana didn’t expect that her grandfather would he poisoned, and the reunion would become a farewell.

All the joy that Oriana exuded had instantly extinguished. Oriana held the old man’s hand and her eyes. was soaked with tears.

“Grandpa, please don’t leave. Please, you’re my only relative.” Oriana pleaded, and sniffed sadly.

Mr. Hendrix patted Oriana’s hands comfortingly, and then turned to look at Patrick.

Patrick went on his knees with a thud.

“Oriana is the young mistress of our family. The entire of the Hendrix family must obey her, including the Hendrix family which are in Imperial city, your second uncle, and the others. After 1 pass away, someone from the Hendrix family must go to the Imperial. I demand that you do not go, for you’re not very promising.” Mr. Hendrix stated his last wish.

Patrick had never envisioned his father’s last words to be that of condemnation of him.

Mr. Hendrix slowly closed his eyes, and let out a deep breathe.

Grandpa.” Oriana called out as her eyes were blurred with tears.

Patrick bent his head and cried painfully on Mr. Hendrix’s bed.

Oriana sat on the chair in the ward, her eyes were red and swollen. Mr. Hendrix’s departure took away her last hope in Los Angeles.

North handed a cup of warm water to Oriana.

“Oriana, the old man passed away peacefully. You’re allowed to mourn him. But the most important thing now is to find who poisoned and killed the old man.” North advised tenderly.

Oriana raised her hand and wiped the tears off her face. She couldn’t agree less with North. She still had alot of things to do.

Oriana turned to look at Patrick who was beside her. Patrick was also crying bitterly.

“I’m not your biological daughter, right? Why didn’t you tell me?” Oriana questioned calmly.

Patrick let out a breathe, and wiped his tears.

Oriana suddenly felt relieved. She had never understood why Patrick didn’t love her. It turned out that she was not his biological daughter. And unfortunately, she did not know who her real father was.

“Are there some Hendrix descendants in Imperial?” Oriana voice sounded again.

Patrick pondered for a moment, and then replied,

“I don’t know much about this either. Dad never told me about them when he was alive. But I do know that our Hendrix family in Los Angeles is just a branch of the Hendrix family. The real Hendrix family was in Imperial city.”

We haven’t had any contact with the Hendrix family in Imperial over the past few years. This should be as a result of your mother’s orders.” Patrick added.

Oriana nodded. She had always thought that once her grandfather was awake, she would know the entire truth. She just didn’t expect her confusion to be increased.

She really couldn’t fathom what sort of individual her mother was. There seemed to be a lot of mysteries surrounding her.

Who was looking after grandpa when he was taken out of the Hendrix’s home? The last time I an injection, he hadn’t been poisoned. The poison was administered to him of recent.”

gave him

Pamela, it was Pamela who took care of the man.” Patrick replied. After some seconds, he stood to his feet and looked at Oriana in shock.

“You suspect that Pamela poisoned my dad?” Patrick questioned unbelievably.

Oriana clasped her lips together and released them almost immediately.
