"Dad, how are you feeling today?" Joanna Lawrence asked, noting that he looked much better than before, his face not as pale.
"Hmm, much better."
Benjamin squinted, carefully examining the adopted daughter sitting by his bedside.
Having raised Joanna for almost twenty years, he knew very well how beautiful she was.
Even as a child, Joanna was exceptionally beautiful, as lovely as a princess.
Everyone who had ever t her had praised her beauty.
Many people said that Benjamin Lawrence was fortunate to have such a beautiful daughter. They believed that when she grew up, she would definitely marry into a wealthy family and he would also benefit from it.
Benjamin did not doubt this.
Because Joanna was indeed exceedingly beautiful.
Even when she was just twelve or thirteen, she was stunningly attractive.
This was also why the Benington family had arranged their marriage with the Lawrence family so early. Apart from David Benington being satisfied with Joanna, his parents also liked her very much.
When Joanna first began dating Ashton Heath, Benjamin was not aware of Ashton’s family background.
After learning about it, he was initially surprised, but later regarded it as normal.
Because he knew, Joanna’s family background was also unique.
She was originally, a daughter of a wealthy family.
And she had such a beautiful face.
Which man could resist?
Even Ashton Heath fell in love with her and took her as his wife.
Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if Frank Parker also had feelings for her.
"Dad, what is it? Why are you staring at ?" Joanna was puzzled by Benjamin’s stare and couldn’t help asking.
Benjamin’s face showed a hesitance to speak.
"Dad, if you have sothing to say, just tell ." Joanna sensed that Benjamin had sothing to tell her.
"Joanna, you and Mr. Parker... what is your relationship?" Benjamin hesitated for a mont, and finally asked.
Joanna was startled.
Upon seeing her expression, Benjamin said: "There’s sothing, I don’t know whether I should tell you or not."
"Dad, what do you want to tell ?"
"A long ti ago, Mr. Parker had co to ." Benjamin finally decided to tell Joanna about the ti when Frank Parker had co looking for him, "He asked about so things from ten years ago."
"Sothing from ten years ago?"
"Yes, he asked if I had ever taken you to the Parker family’s banquet. After I told him that I had taken you there, he asked so other questions. Joanna, do you know why Mr. Parker wanted to talk to about these things? Did you and him... have you known each other since ten years ago?"
Benjamin found it unlikely.
No matter at what point in ti, the Lawrence family could never be linked to the Parker family.
Frank Parker was the heir to the Parker family, not so easily befriended.
But if they were not acquainted, why would he ask these questions?
"He ca to you asking about things from ten years ago?" Joanna was taken aback and asked, "When did this happen?"
Benjamin told her the timing, and then said: "It was after that occurrence, that he started helping the Lawrence family a lot. Joanna, do you know why Mr. Parker wanted to help our family?"
Joanna was silent for a while, then nodded.
Originally, she had thought that she herself had read too much into it.
But now it seed, Frank Parker did help the Lawrence family because of her.
He hadn’t admitted it before, perhaps just because he was reluctant to acknowledge it.
