If the genetic tests proved Raegan was Davey’s biological daughter, the shock would be immense for Davey, realizing he had attempted to kill his own flesh and blood multiple times.

Thus, conflicted feelings tormented Davey even before the test results were in.

Part of him hoped Raegan’s claims were false.

Yet, somewhere deep down, he wished they were true.

At his age, the idea of having a child became increasingly appealing.

The deeper the isolation and neglect one experienced in youth, the more intensely one yearned for a connection with their offspring, seeking to mend the echoes of a lonely childhood.

As Davey spent hours observing Raegan, he noticed similarities in their sleeping patterns.

Both of them stayed alert in unfamiliar environments.

Davey stood up and said with a calm, gentle voice, “Get up and have something to eat.

I’ll have the servants bring it in Had Raegan not known Davey’s past, she might have mistaken him for a decent man.

For now, he convincingly hid his malevolent and unstable tendencies.

Remaining silent, Raegan kept her head bowed.

She was careful not to meet his gaze, worried that her resentment might show and provoke suspicion.

Despite her restraint, Davey found himself increasingly charmed by her.

He asked, “Raegan, did your mother name you?”

Raegan simply nodded in response.

The young Raegan owned a gold medal engraved with her name, a keepsake her adoptive father had retained after searching locally and at police stations without replaceing any reports of a missing child named Raegan.

Her obscurity was due to Davey leaving her thousands of miles away at a time when technology and missing persons searches were ineffective.

Raegan’s adoptive father, a compassionate man, felt a deep bond with the young Raegan and chose not to hide her identity.

He kept her original name intact, hoping it would one day lead her birth parents to her.

“It sounds nice,” Davey remarked.

Seeing Raegan remain quiet, Davey wanted to add more but was at a loss for words.

“Rest well,” he finally said before leaving the room.

Servants delivered a meal that was both lavish and luxurious.

Raegan surveyed the feast before her, confident that Davey wouldn’t dare poison her yet.

At least, not until the paternity test results were confirmed.

Raegan’s current location remained a mystery, suggesting Davey was concealing her in a highly secretive spot.

Consequently, she knew the test results wouldn’t be available swiftly.

Even Davey would need to wait approximately three days.

These next three days represented Raegan’s critical window for escape.

Davey’s current gentleness stemmed from his belief that she might be his daughter.

Should the tests prove otherwise, Raegan doubted he would hesitate to eliminate her.

After her meal, Raegan strolled around the room, under the watchful eye of a servant who never left.

Despite Davey’s apparent trust issues, Raegan attempted to uncover her whereabouts.

Seizing a moment when the servant was distracted, she drew back a curtain, hoping for a glimpse outside and a clue to her location, murmuring about the stuffiness as a cover.

Her hope quickly turned to disappointment.

The curtain hid no window but a plain wall, serving purely as decor, which explained the servant’s lack of concern.

Feeling defeated, Raegan returned to the bed to close her eyes and rest, conserving her strength while she contemplated her next move.
