Chapter 296 Be My Foster Goddaughter
Yana’s father, Jason Weiss, was a little over fifty years old. His hair was greying, but he still looked dignified.
When he saw Natalie, he held her hand excitedly. “You’re a miracle doctor! Although we weren’t able to meet, I’ve always heard Yana mention you. You’re the benefactor of the entire Weiss family! Yana’s my only daughter. Were it not for you, I would have had to watch her die before me…”
Natalie said humbly, “Mr. Weiss, I’m only applying the knowledge I’ve learned. I’m not as impressive as you make me out to be.”
The more Jason looked at Natalie, who was average-looking yet so composed, the more he grew fond of her.
There were many youngsters out there who were very impetuous. They spent their time frivolously, lusting over fame and power. After achieving something small, they would brag about it excessively to others.
However, even though Natalie had cured an illness that had stumped countless doctors, she was still so humble. It was unimaginable to not like her.
“Who did you learn those skills from?” Jason asked curiously.
“My grandfather and my mother.”
“Where are they?”
Natalie remembered how they had already passed away, leaving her alone.
“They’ve… They’ve passed away,” she responded softly.
Jason realized he had just touched Natalie’s sore spot. At the same time, an idea popped into his head.
“Natalie, my wife and I only have one daughter, and that is Yana. We’re very grateful to you and we really like you. Hence, we’d like to ask you to become our goddaughter. I wonder if you’re interested. Although the Weiss family isn’t a powerful family in Dellmoor or Chanaea, we can promise that we’ll treat you and Yana equally.”
Smiling, Hans chimed in, “Natalie, if anything bad had happened to Yana, my life would have been pointless. To be honest, my father wanted you to become his goddaughter too, but my father-in-law was a step faster. You can consider whether you’d like to be the goddaughter of the Weiss family or the Becker family. Yet, regardless of your choice, I’ll still treat you like my dear sister!”
Clenching her fists, Yana punched Hans’ chest.
“How dare you try to steal her away in front of my dad?”
“Haha!”
Everyone exchanged an amused look with each other and burst out laughing.
A warm and fuzzy feeling rose in Natalie’s heart when she heard that.
Although her real family was no longer around, she could sense that the Weiss family and the Becker family genuinely treasured her a lot.
Smiling gently, Natalie called out to Jason, “Godfather…”
Hearing that, Jason laughed heartily. “You calling me your godfather is the best present I’ve received at this birthday banquet!”
Soon, a few other guests approached them, wanting to express their birthday wishes to Jason.
As Hans and Yana needed to help him, they could not keep Natalie company.
Hence, she strolled around in the Weiss residence’s garden aimlessly.
The Weiss residence was not as luxurious as the other mansions that she had seen. However, the garden was just like the Weiss family—simple and elegant. It was evident from every plant how much care and protection the owner had shown them.
Natalie could not help but whip out her phone and take a picture of the night scenery, failing to notice that someone was staring at her in jealousy from afar.
Jacyntha was gripping a wine glass with a hostile expression on her face.
It’s that ugly woman again!
Recalling how Christopher no longer doted on her because of Natalie, she was filled with agony and hatred.
I’ve liked Chris for so long. My biggest wish is to marry him! Who does that hideous vixen think she is to compete with me for him? Since Chris is here tonight, I must not let her seduce him away. Instead, I want him to hate her guts!
Finishing the wine in one go, Jacyntha got to her feet to make preparations.
