Chapter 1044 How Could They?

"Dear, what's wrong?"

Seeing Braden collapse, Mrs. Bush couldn't help but tug at the corner of his clothes.

Braden had given up everything because of Melissa. Mrs. Bush also knew that he didn't even want his
own reputation, let alone Nicole. He only wanted to make it up for his daughter. But just now, the
nurse's words were like a bolt of lightning that directly smashed onto Braden's head.

Not biological?

How could it not be biological?

Braden's mind had been thinking about this question.

"Dear, do you still remember the paternity test when you first found Melissa?"

Braden suddenly grabbed Mrs. Bush's hand on the backhand side. The strength of his hand caused
Mrs. Bush to frown.

"Didn't you do that paternity test?"

"What? Me? Back then, Melissa said you did it."

As soon as Braden said, Mrs. Bush was stunned.

"I haven't done it. I was not capable of managing it."

Only then did Mr. and Mrs. Bush realize that they might have been tricked by Melissa from the very
beginning.

"Liar! Bastard! I'm going to kill her!"



Braden roared as he was about to go into the operating room but was stopped by the police.

"Stop! Don't you know who you are now? What are you doing now?"

These words were like cold water, instantly pouring on Braden's body.

He was a prisoner now!

For Melissa, he did everything he could even to offend Nicole. Even his reputation had been ruined.
Now that he was old, he would still be imprisoned for Melissa. But now, he was told that Melissa was
not her biological child. No matter how hard Braden tried, he could not take the result.

"I need to ask her in person! Or, we can do another paternity test."

Braden no longer cared about his identity as a prisoner and had always wanted the correct answer.

The policeman couldn't help but buckle him into a chair.

"Behave yourself! If you do this again, I'll take you back."

Mrs. Bush hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

"Sir, please be gentle. He's almost sixty. He can't stand this kind of torment."

She cried and pleaded for mercy, and her eyes suddenly saw Nicole and her husband.

Mrs. Bush immediately turned towards Nicole.

Samuel subconsciously protected Nicole behind him.

"What do you want?"

His voice was cold. And his appearance showed no angry but dignity.



Mrs. Bush really regretted it now.

Why did she push her daughter away because of a person who was not her own daughter? She had
raised Nicole for more than twenty years!

Mrs. Bush knelt down to Nicole with a thud.

"Nicole, please! Please fulfill your father's wish. We don't ask for anything else. We just want to have
another paternity test here. I know that this is the Military Hospital, a very authoritative hospital. You
two have a good relationship with the director of this hospital. As long as you speak, they will definitely
confirm it fairly and impartially."

Nicole's eyes lit up slightly.

This scene was hilarious.

Not long ago, the couple had wanted to kill her for Melissa. But now, it ended up like this.

Nicole didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say.

Did blood really matter?

She was a little confused.

Samuel said coldly, "Fair and impartial? Do you think you have the right to say these words? Aren't you
afraid that the director will change the appraisal result because of me? Don't you know if she is your
biological daughter? Don't tell me that you won't save Melissa if she's not your daughter. You guys
raised Nicole for more than 20 years and finally pushed her out of the house because of an appraisal
report. Now you remember having such a daughter? I really look down on you guys. When you need
her, you call her your daughter, but when you don't need her, what did you do to her?"



Mrs. Bush's face turned red from Samuel's sarcasm.

"Don't beg her."

Braden had regained his calm and slowly said.

He looked at Nicole with a cold gaze.

"We have raised her for more than twenty years. What has she done for us? Even if it wasn't for
Melissa, what did she give us after becoming Mrs. Green? Don't blame us for looking for our own
daughter. Wasn't she still very close to the Don family? What kind of foster parents are we? I have not
forgotten who made me into the prison."

"You are really interesting. Could it be that you shouted to kill Nicole and she has to say thank you?
Why did Nicole send you into the prison? I think you know the reason. Well, you say Nicole was not a
good daughter. Besides, she didn't give you anything after she got married. What did you give Nicole
when she got married? You don't even prepare a penny dowry for her, do you? Yes, it's her own
business that she likes me. But Nicole was still your daughter back then. She didn't know that you
weren't your daughter, did she? So what did you give Nicole when she got married? At that time, the
Bush family was highly respected. When Nicole became Mrs. Green, she did not take away a single
needle or thread from the Bush family. How could you ask Nicole for something?"

Samuel was pretty angry. And his words were quite impolite.

Behind Samuel, Nicole listened to what Braden had said. She didn't even have the strength to be
angry.

She felt that once a person's thoughts are lost, he will not listen to any other opinions no matter how
reasonable others are.



Ever since she married Samuel, Mr. and Mrs. Bush had been dissatisfied with her. However, she was
still their child at that time. They did not know that Nicole was not biological and they just endured it.
But, there were many complaints in their hearts.

When Nicole first married into the Green family, she was penniless. Because it was her wish, even if
Samuel ignored her, she had to behave perfectly, even to serve other family members of the Green
family well. At that time, had Mr. and Mrs. Bush ever cared about her?

Samuel was right. At that time, the Bush family was highly respected and wealthy, but they didn't give
her any dowry.

Nicole did not complain or blame Mr. and Mrs. Bush, but they thought in another way.

She couldn't help but sneer.

'When people dislike you, even if you give a smile to them, they will still think you are hypocritical. So
there is no need to have any conversations.'

Nicole suddenly felt that she didn't want to see them anymore.

She said indifferently, "Melissa urgently needs a kidney to be transplanted. Do you want to do an
examination? If it matches ..."

"We even don't know whose daughter she is. Why should we give her a kidney? We won't do it! It's
good that she died after lying to us for so long! This is God's retribution to her!"

Braden roared.

Although Mrs. Bush didn't say anything, it could be seen that she didn't want to check.

Nicole immediately laughed.



Was this human nature?

Or was this the nature of Mr. and Mrs. Bush?

"You open my eyes."

After finishing this sentence, Nicole ignored the couple.

The nurse ran out again.

"What the hell is going on between you two? Is that your daughter lying inside? Check the blood
quickly."

"It's none of our business if she dies or lives."

Braden directly stated his position.

The nurse was furious.

"Are you serious? How could you say that? Even she is the adopted daughter, you still have feelings
for each other for so many years, right? How could you not save her?"

"She lied to us. She wanted us to use all our money to save her? How could she? She has ruined the
reputation of the Bush family. We are already utterly destitute. How could she still want our kidney?
How dare she?"

Braden's voice was not low, and it could be heard directly in the room inside.

Melissa was still in a semi-conscious state. Now that she heard Braden's words, she was so angry that
she almost lost her last breathe.



Her ventilator rang quickly.

"The patient is in bad condition. Hurry up and give first aid."

The doctor's words came out, and the nurse hurriedly went in. However, Braden and his wife did not
have any worried expressions. They even gnashed their teeth in hatred.

If Nicole hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that this couple had been so
warm-hearted for Melissa a few days ago.

Inside, Melissa held the doctor's hand tightly and said intermittently, "Find Major. I have his phone
number."

The doctor asked the nurse to write down the telephone number.

The nurse pushed the door again and walked out.

"Who is Major? The patient asked for him. Here is the phone number."

But neither Braden nor his wife replied.

Nicole pushed Samuel forth.

Samuel took Major's number and dialed the number in front of everyone. He turned on the speaker.

"Who is it?"

Major's voice sounded lazy as if he had just woken up.

"It is the Military Hospital," Samuel said indifferently, "Melissa had an acute kidney failure and needs
nephrogenic surgery. She asked us to contact you."



An enchanting female voice came from Major's side.

"Major, is that bitch still alive? Don't tell me she doesn't know that you caused her kidney failure? This
woman is so stupid. After being your woman for so many years, she still didn't know what had been
added to the food she ate every day."

These words were heard by Melissa immediately.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

She struggled to get up. But, she heard Major snort coldly, "That silly woman is useless now. Why
should I waste money to treat her? Besides, didn't she have biological parents? Ask Mr. and Mrs. Bush
for help. Oh, they may not be able to save her because they're not her real parents. Alright, don't
disturb me. I have nothing to do with that woman in the future. If it weren't for the fact that she was still
of some use, how could I have let her occupy my girlfriend's position for so many years? As she is the
daughter of a thief, how could she be my girlfriend? Bah!"

After saying that, Major hung up the phone.

It was clear.

Mr. and Mrs. Bush were so angry that they wanted to tear Major apart, but they could do nothing.

After hearing these words, Melissa could not bear the words and rolled her eyelids. She has fainted.

"Quick! Hurry up and give first aid!"

A frantic voice came from inside.



Seeing this scene, Nicole suddenly felt that it was like a farce. Now that the farce was over, she didn't
feel any joy or relaxation. Instead, it was sour and she couldn't tell what it is.
