Revenge: Reborn
Chapter 252 He is your Father
Aldo was surprised to hear the words of Richard, he did not think at all if the man had a close relationship with his wife. Aldo then sat down on the sofa and was followed by Richard.
"Richard.., how did you and Ivona get separated? I've been investigating the girl's identity. Ivona is only known to have a mother named Mrs Carminda, they are famous nomadic life since Mrs Carminda pregnant the girl. Even already born, the family has moved residence, not only in the country and even abroad. But never before, heard the news there's a papa from Ivona Carminda." Aldo recounted the results of his investigation of Ivona.
Richard smiled wryly, the man glared and turned his eyes to another place. After breathing out...,
"My hypothesis concludes that Ivona is my sister Al.. Even I can deduce that my guess is above 90% and close to one hundred percent. But Ald.., the likely arrival of the girl to the lab, is to find this connection. Only Mrs Carminda can acknowledge and make evidence of our relationship" Richard said.
"You mean?" aldo asked increasingly.
"Past-time mistakes between Papa and Lady Carminda seemed to give birth to Ivona. But I also cannot say if this is a mistake, because in fact, my late mother once told me before the death to pick him up. Mama said.., there's never been any love in my heart for mom all this time. Their marriage was because there was coercion from the grandfather and the mother's family." Richard tells a sad story in his family.
Aldo was surprised by Richard's story, the man looked at Richard with a look of disbelief. It takes greatness to be able to acknowledge and claim a brother who does not come from one womb with him, but the man in front of him is willing to sacrifice his time and energy to open the bonds of brotherhood.
"So big is your heart Richard." said Aldo Iirih.
"Mrs Carminda who has the greatness of Aldo's heart. The middle-aged woman, willing to sacrifice her good name, did not want to disturb the integrity of our family. He was willing to leave the country and his hopes and dreams" Richard said with a wry smile.
"Was that just an excuse.., until Madame Carminda willingly moved the country and lost her identity. Moreover, seeing the woman can penetrate the main laboratory means he has intelligence that is not owned by most people" said Aldo trying to recognize the background of his wife. Seeing him live in a simple hamlet with standard facilities, made him very interested to peel off the mystery.
"Even if you still don't believe Aldo.., Ivona never had a medical diploma. But the girl had a very extraordinary intelligence.Even my papa surgery which was already unable to be handled by the specialist and expert doctors in the country, everything was easy on the girl's hands." continued Richard.
Aldo was aghast, and he seemed to be in disbelief if he could successfully marry a great young girl.
"My papa's blood and that of Mrs Carminda's, has been carrying talent since birth in Ivona's. Even some teams of experts in the field of medicine and researchers, have predicted if the age of Ivona will not be able to survive to adulthood. His brain was no longer able to accommodate the flow of information that continued to flood. Perhaps that was what caused the girl to be vegetative for a long time." Richard spoke again in a soft voice, almost like a mutter from the man.
"Because of that Richard.., it was a blessing to me, so that I could marry that girl in another world" Aldo said unknowingly. Hearing Aldo's words, Richard's forehead became wrinkled.., the man looked at Aldo's eyes with a fixed look.

"Nana.., you need to get out of this main laboratory as soon as possible. Mama's not gonna let you spend your old days devoting your life to this lab." Mrs Carminda gently rubbed Ivona's hair, which was currently laying her head on her lap.
"No mama.., Ivona feels better here with mama. There's no point in Ivona living life in the outside world alone" Ivona said, declining her mother's request.
Madam Carminda was silent for a while, the middle-aged woman looked at her daughter's eyes sharply. Her finger opened Ivona's eyes that were closed in her lap.
"Listen to what mom said.. You must marry and bear children. Marry Doctor Marcus, the boy has sacrificed a lot of his life for you my daughter." said Mrs Carminda, who surprised the girl. Ivona opened her eyes and looked back at her mother.
"Mom.., don't force Ivona. Has mom been married.., and does Ivona also have a father?? Or maybe Ivona was just a baby adopted or taken from a dump." hearing the words of coercion that Mrs Carminda uttered, Ivona subconsciously replied with many statements that cornered her mother.
Unknowingly, tears of sadness re-established in the eyes of Mrs Carminda. Seeing that, Ivona immediately sat down and using her finger, the girl wiped away the tears.
"I'm sorry Ivona mom. Until when will mama cover this up from Ivona. Did you know Mr. Frans.., an old man who asked Ivona to call him Daddy?" hearing the name of the man called her daughter, Mrs Carminda choked. For a very long time, this middle-aged woman tried to remove the name from the bottom of her heart, even closing the meeting of her daughter. But right now, Ivona again reminded him of his past foolishness.
"How do you know that cowardly man Nana..?" mrs Carminda said with a trembling voice. The two daughters and mother looked at each other. Ivona could see an outpouring of emotion in the eyes of her mother.
"Ivona had been staying at Mr Frans's place, even Ivona who had surgery when Mr Frans was hospitalized. Doctors in Indonesia have given up, finally Doctor Marcus invited Nana to perform the operation. Nana knew well brother Richard.., the son of Mr. Frans." said Ivona softly, his eyes unblinking looking at his mother. Tears flowed from Mrs Carminda's eyes again, and the girl hugged and patted the middle-aged woman on the back.
After a while, Lady Carminda let go of Ivona's embrace..
"Nana.., Mama will tell the truth. Mr. Frans is your father.Let's out of this lab. Go back to your father's place, son. Leave this place as soon as possible!" as if to gain new hope, Mrs Carminda again forced her daughter to leave this laboratory.
Ivona remained silent.., she also felt confused by what she had just heard in her ear.
"Mama's gonna ask Doctor Rafi one more time.. The man had always sacrificed his life for his mother, even until now he was not married. Mother's stupidity and blindness alone, which eventually resulted in giving birth to you into the world of Nana." said Mrs Carminda slowly. His eyes quickly wiped away the tears that did not stop flowing from his eyes.
