My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Kirena was checking the lab check results of her patient's condition. She was also still considering the plausible outcomes of Catherine's present state. Kirena was so focused on her computer that she didn't notice a tall figure standing in front of her.

The person cleared his throat and made her raise her head.

A dark-haired man with a skin color that matched his eyes looked at her expressionlessly. The young man was very handsome. Even she was also fascinated by his good looks. It's just... as soon as she realized who this person was... she held her breath.

Why... why did the S team leader come to her again?

The young man raised his right hand, which was covered in blood, making Kirena gasp in shock.

"Hey, aren't you a doctor? I need your help."

Kirena was still scared, but she also felt confused hearing that statement. What help did the man want? Why was his hand covered in blood like that? Had the man recently killed someone, and was he needed to make sure the victim was dead?

"Hey!" the man's tone rose slightly, making her jumped out of shock.

"Wh... what help?"

The man didn't answer and just shook his bleeding hand.

Finally, Kirena understood what the man wanted. She quickly took medicine and bandages to treat his new patient's hand-wound.

There were several shards of glass that got into the skin of his hands. Kirena carefully removed the fragments with a specific tool. She glanced at the man's face feeling worried, but the man's expression was very flat. There was no sign of feeling pain or killing aura like last night. For the first time, Kirena did not feel afraid of the person before her.

"Does it hurt?" asked Kirena.

"..."

Kirena didn't ask anymore, knowing this man was enduring the pain, and chose to remain silent.

Of course, Kirena didn't know that Kinsey was so used to getting small wounds like this that he no longer could feel hurt.

"You know, it's not good to endure pain in silence. You can scream if..."

"Shut your mouth and do your job!" came the cold order and kill-intent aura to make Kirena's hand trembling in fear.

At last, Kirena decided to zip her lips and focus on bandaging the wound quickly so the man could leave her workroom as soon as possible.

"When will Catherine be out of here?"

"To... tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Tomorrow." was the response in a full authority tone from the man.

"Tomorrow it is," Kirena answered quickly, afraid that she would be faced with a situation like last night.

After finishing the treatment, Kinsey got up and thanked her before walking without further words.

"Why does such a handsome man have such a dangerous character? What a shame."

Kirena immediately put her thoughts aside by slapping her cheeks a few times.

At the Star Risen hotel's penthouse, Benjamin tried to find his old photo album. Since his older sister's death, he wanted to bury his memories and not make his grief drag on. That's why Benjamin kept all of Chloe's photos in a drawer that he rarely opened. But these few days, he felt empty. Since he didn't meet his four nieces, he felt something was missing.

He could tell someone was watching his movements. Whether it was Martin Paxton or other parties, he certainly felt that whoever was watching him was looking for his weakness and attacking him by exploiting his weakness.

It doesn't matter if they find his flaw. If they finally find out that Benjamin did not have Paxton's blood, he was not afraid. But now, his weakness was his nieces.

He didn't want his four nieces to be in danger, not to mention Catherine, who was the actual Paxton heiress. He would give up all of Paxton's legacy, even the Star Risen he built from zero. He would even sacrifice himself as long as his nieces survive.

It's just that lately, he felt something strange about himself whenever he imagined Catherine's face. Benjamin thought that when he saw Catherine, it was like he was looking at Chloe. Is this only his feeling, or is it because he missed his older sister too much?

Well, technically, there might indeed be similarities between Chloe and Catherine. After all, they were related by blood between aunt and niece. But why does he still feel something is off?

After unloading a drawer, he finally found a photo. It showed a woman with reddish-brown hair hugging two small fighting boys. The two little boys were himself and Vincent. They both often bickered and frequently get scolded and punished by Chloe.

But what stunned him was the woman's face in the old photo. She looked like Catherine. No... He was sure the woman in the photo was Chloe, but he felt like he was looking at Catherine.

His eldest niece looked a lot like Chloe... they were like identical twins. Even though Cathy was her niece, her face couldn't be precisely like Chloe's, right? Or is it possible...?

No. Chloe has no children. That woman has never been married before, so how could that be... unless...

Benjamin remembered when Chloe was rumored to have a contagious disease and had to be exiled for nearly two years. Is it possible... Chloe was not sick at that time, but... pregnant??

Benjamin rushed into his study and called Charlie. As soon as Charlie walks into him, Benjamin gave orders for a DNA test on Catherine's blood.

"Didn't you test the DNA of your four nieces?"

"Not with Catherine. She has typical Paxton hair, so I didn't test her. I just did DNA tests on Anna and the twins."

"Fine, I'll be right at the hospital to get Mr. Daniel's DNA."

"No. I want you to compare it to Chloeny Paxton."

Hearing this confused Charlie, yet he still did what he was told.

If it turned out that Catherine was indeed Chloe's biological daughter, then the child's safety was much more severe than when she was Daniel's biological daughter.

Martin and anyone who knew Paxton's secret would target Catherine and force her to give the activation key that Martin was looking for.

He hoped that.... Benjamin genuinely prayed that Catherine would not be the child of his sister.
