Page 155 of His Sunshine Baby

“Clark, I get things are heating up. But I won’t lie anymore. I lied for too long already, and this baby is my baby and Nathaniel Black’s baby. I grew up without knowing my biological parents. I swear to Moon Goddess, I won’t let my child grow up without knowing who her real father is.”

I see my godfather is just furious, but I am not changing my mind, he has to understand that. I see him take a deep breath. He doesn’t want to yell and put me at risk, but we are not done.

“What about your father, Elena? If I banish you, what about him? You’ll leave him alone?”

“My dad would understand, Clark.”

My godfather closes his eyes, letting out a long sigh. I exchange a glance with Daniel and Levi, both looking worried. I know they’re afraid Clark would really banish me.

Honestly, I’m afraid too. I don’t want to be banished from the White Moon clan for the rest of my life. But I also understand the position he’s in. If a conflict really arises and we are not clear on whose side we are on, we might get crushed by clans bigger than ours.

“Abigail. How long does Elena need to rest?”

“About two weeks, at least. She can leave the hospital in a few days.”

“Fine. Elena, I don’t want you to talk to anyone for now. I’ll get back to you when my decision is made. And that includes Black. You’ll do whatever you want after that, but for now, just focus on your health.”

He leaves the room, and all four of us let out a collective sigh.

“Damn, that’s my babe,” says Daniel. “Always in trouble.”

“Levi, what was that about a war? The Gold Moon and the Blood Moon clan?” I ask.

I didn’t hear anything about an alliance back at the fight. The Gold Moon was far from us, but the Blood Moon stayed in the north to help. Does Nora know anything about this? Or Nate?

Levi exchanges a glance with his mother, but they both shake their heads.

“Elena, you should just rest and not worry for now. You just woke up, sweetie. Levi will ask, but please, stay still and rest for now, all right? Danny and I will stay with you. Don’t worry about Clark, I’m sure we will find a solution.”

I nod, and Levi bids me goodbye, promising to find out more about that conflict Clark mentioned. I comply with Abigail’s new check-up until she leaves, and I’m left with Daniel.

“Babe, there is something else.”

I roll my eyes. What now?

“Don’t worry, it’s good news this time. I mean, a good idea.”

“What then?”

“Bobo called me. Nora had an idea. She wants to test your blood and hers.”

“Test our blood?”

“Yeah. Apparently, the King and her entourage want to check if she is really a Royal or not, and we thought…”

“We could use the tests to check if she and I are really related?”

Daniel nods with a big smile.

“I mean, we had suspicions, but wouldn’t it be nice to confirm if she is your family ?”

I can’t help but smile a bit. Family? That sounds really nice.

“You can do that?” I ask.

“Of course I can! I’m already in touch with Tonia, we’ll compare it. But babe, if you are related to Nora, you know it might complicate things further, right?”

“I know. Let’s just keep my relationship with her a secret for now, right? Nate doesn’t know, and I hope she hasn’t told the King either.”
