"I… am not your daughter?" stuttered Edna, still unable to believe the information she had just heard. It hurt her so deeply.
"I'm sorry, Edna."
Edna now understood. No wonder she could never be accepted in this family. No wonder her father never wanted to put Westfall's name behind her name. That was because they were not real father and daughter. Nothing bound them to become a family.
"Edna… I have lost Lucy, and I don't want to lose you either. Even though we don't share blood, I have considered you like my daughter. I planned to adopt you and explain everything, but you left the house before I could explain everything."
"Don't you want to marry me to Jonathan?" Edna asked in a slightly high tone. "I ran away because I didn't want to marry that pedophile!"
"Alright, alright. I have to admit it was also my fault! I ran out of ideas to make my wife and Jonathan understood. I agreed to their request, so I could think of another way, Edna."
