Chapter 321 The Unbelievable Truth

In the study, Edwin looked at the window.

His thin body was sunken in a wheelchair covered with thick blankets, and the sun was casting comfortably on his old face, very warm.

He was afraid of chill, the closer he was going to die, the more he was afraid of coldness in the past few days, and his spirit was not as good as before.

Some things couldn’t be hidden anymore, and he couldn’t hide it neither

Before he thought that the less Bella knew, the safer she would be. So he sent Bella to the person he thought was the least likely to hurt her-Charles. Because Charles needed Bella’s blood. However, he did not expect that he was wrong. Charles, such an idiot actually dared to hurt Bell for a fake “savior”.

Therefore……

No one in this world he could trust.

Steven, although he was deeply into Bella. However, humanity was somehow extreme, and he had seen many people whose love turned into hate finally.

He did not know whether Steven would be willing to replace him after his death and continue to guard Bella as his identity. No matter how, although Steven was capable, he was still not as strong as Charles.

Therefore, Bella in the future... she must rely on herself, the only way was to make herself strong.

When Bella followed Quentin to the study, she saw Edwin sighing deeply.

Her heart was sour, all the grievances disappeared after she saw Edwin’s gaunt face. She thought what Quentin said to her before, "Dad" was going to die soon, her heart immediately became gloomy.

No matter how sad she felt, it was not as important as her father’s life.

"Dad." Bella quickly walked in front of him and kneeled down, lying on his knees. She told herself that she must not let her father die. She must find a way to cure her father.

“Bell, you have come.” Edwin touched her hair. “Stand up and sit.”

"I want to lean on you." Bella was lying lazily in Edwin’s arms, didn’t want to get up.

"Dad!" Steven stood at the door and called Edwin respectfully. Although the door was open, he was still waiting for Edwin's permission before he went in.

Charles followed Steven and walked in.

"Come on, Bell, I have something to tell you." Edwin touched her head.

"Yeah." Bella then stood up and sat down next to Edwin.

She found that Edwin was not surprised when he saw Charles. Obviously, he also knew that Baron was Charles, but in the end... what was hidden indeed?

Bella was quietly sitting, and when she glanced at Charles, she saw him looking at her concentratedly.

She snorted and turned her head away.

Edwin looked at Quentin, "Guarde the door, watch out the surrounding. No one is allowed to approach."

"Yes."

Bella saw Quentin leaving seriously, looked at Edwin again.

Was dad going to tell her something big?

Bella swallowed and she was a little nervous. She stretched her body and faintly looked forward to it.

After Quentin closed the door, Edwin held Bella’s hand and asked slowly. "Bell, have you ever heard of the theory of Sea Creature Gene?"

"Yeah." Bella nodded, her eyes unconsciously looked to Charles.

Charles once told her that he was evolved from the fish under the sea, not from the monkeys.

Edwin’s gaze did not fall on Charles from the beginning to end, he just held Bella’s hand and looked out the window, just like telling a story and said slowly, “There are two phenomenon about human evolution one hundred million years ago, one is Darwin's theory of evolution that everyone knows, and the other is Earl’s Davenport's 'the theory of Sea Creature Gene'.

"The first phenomenon is that humans evolve from fish to terrestrial vertebrates to mammals, and then to people. But the theory of Sea Creature Gene says another phenomenon of evolution, from fish directly to human. There is a special group of people living in the Kingdom of the Sea, their ancestors are merpeople who evolved from fish. They control the fate of the sea and are the true owners of the ocean. They can live in the sea or on the land. They are what we called merpeople."

Bella was surprised to look at Charles, "Well, is he a merperson?"

"Yeah." Edwin's eyes still did not fall Charles’s face, but he looked from outside the window to Bella’s face, and said, "It seems that he has told you something."

Bella compressed her lips, but he didn’t say everything.

Edwin went on to say, "In order to preserve their amphibious properties, they must return to the sea at a certain time to stabilize their identity. If they do not live in the sea for two consecutive years, the King of the Sea will take back their submarine survival rights. And the new generation of merpeople must be born in the sea, once they give birth to children on the land, their children will be deprived of the submarine survival rights."

"Thousands of years ago, a merperson fell in love with a pure human on the land. She gave up her identity as a merperson. Her descendant’ appearances were also like ordinary people, and this has been kept until now. From the appearance, there is nothing different from other human beings."

“With the changes in the earth's crust, the blood that maintains the amphibious nature of the merpeople has changed. Gradually some sea people have lost the ability to evolve into human beings. If such situation continues, they may begin to degenerate, lose their attributes as human being, and become needles in the end, and their current king, the evolutionary factors in his blood are beginning to weaken. For the future of the merpeople and the heir."

"The current King of the Sea must find the descendants of the first generation who gave up the identity of the Kingdom of the Sea. Because while the original generation of the merpeople completely gave up the attributes, the gene of mermaid was also suppressed in her body, because of which she did not evolve, nor degenerate. Looking for the first generation is impossible, therefore the King of the Sea began to look for her descendants, who are terrestrial people with highly purified mermaid blood."

Edwin looked at her, and his face was full of love and sadness. "The ancestors of our Beck family were the first to give up the attributes of merpeople. Our Beck family is also the dominant gene carrier of mermaid." His gaze finally fell on Charles, "So, this is why he finds you."

Bella looked at Charles dumbly, "So... is he the King of the Sea? Therefore, he asked me to give birth to his child, just because... he wants my genes to change his descendants?"

Although she was asking Edwin, her eyes were fixing on Charles. There was a bit of sadness in the eyes.

He never hid his purpose, but when the truth was revealed, her heart still felt bitter.

There was no wonder that he needed her blood, who had such a big responsibility.

The role of her child was much more important than she imagined.

But……

Bella suddenly came up with a question.
