"I really love her. After all, I raised her since she was a child. I just feel sorry for her," Mandy said with a sigh. "That child has had a hard life. She lost her mother when she was just little. And a few years ago, my husband passed away. So she lost a father as well. If I didn't raise her, she would've been alone."

For a while, Mandy looked blankly at the floor, as if revisiting a memory. "As a child, she has always been gentle yet mature for her age. Now that I know she is your daughter and you will take care of her in the future, I am happy. But she has gotten used to knowing me as her parent. I'm afraid that she might be unable to accept it if I tell her the truth.

But don't worry, I'll talk to her. It's getting late. I have to go now."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to send you back," Barton replied as

ationship with her yet."

"That's exactly why I'm nervous." Barton smiled bitterly. "I've only know I have a daughter after so many years. How can I not be nervous now that I'm about to meet her for the first time?"

"I understand. But Mr. Xiao, are you sure Jean is your daughter?" Compared to Barton, Zoe Lin was much calmer. "I heard that Ms. Zhao has two daughters. Are you so sure that it's Jean?"

Frowning slightly, Barton mumbled, "When I brought it up yesterday, Ms. Zhao didn't say otherwise. So there should be no mistake."

"But I think we should still keep an eye on it," Zoe Lin suggested firmly. "With your status, there are many people who want to have a connection with you. We have to be careful."

"You're right." Barton nodded with a frown. "I have to find out the truth about this matter."
