How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 348
What pissed Darren off the most wasn't the fact that they had a son they paraded
around in the spotlight back in Zosteylor, but that they kept an adopted child
close while they dumped their own flesh and blood, Cassandra, in a hospital like
she was nothing.
The irony of it all was that Darren had actually believed Maximilian's words about
going to find Cassandra right away.
The so-called “right away” they mentioned only came after everyone had waited.
for Thomas's surgery to be a success. By then, the best time had already slipped
away.
They were all the main cause of Cassandra's tragedies over the years.
He had been concerned about them, just like Maximilian had been, all these
years, only to find out that they were living it up in Zosteylor without a care in the
world as if they had completely forgotten that they even had a daughter named
Cassandra.
Darren's expression turned stone—cold. The smile that previously graced his
features was now long gone as he was fully aware of Kayden's antagonism
towards
him.
“Dad, Denzel, Devin, let's go upstairs first. We can talk there.”
This was no place for such discussions—with too many people out there. Although
they went upstairs, someone had already leaked the scene to the internet, and it
didn’t take long before the true identity of Zosteylor’s prince consort was
revealed.
Every piece of evidence pointed to him being named Darren Yates, the long—lost
eldest son of the Yates family in Drieso, who had vanished almost 20 years ago.
It was shocking to everyone that he had ended up as Zosteylor’s prince consort
after so many years out of sight. People left comments about this issue online.
[Can't believe the prince consort comes from the Yates family. That's amazing.]
[If I remember correctly, the prince consort’s surname seems to be Yates. Doesn't
he have the same surname as the Queen?]
[That means the prince consort didn't just marry into the family. They love each
other so much!]
[Is it just me, or is anyone else wondering why he never went back home? Is

Zosteylor a million miles away, or was it too chaotic before? I mean, come on,
even leaders from the rowdiest countries have stopped by Clusia. How could he
forget. about his family?]
[I actually think you have a point. Now I'm getting curious too.]
[And get this
Queen of Zosteylor has two adopted sons. They live with her.
So why couldn't they visit his folks back home?],
[There might be more to it. These are private matters, probably all hashed out
behind closed doors.]
[Check out this—Darren’s been “missing’ for 20 years. That means zero contact,
otherwise, it's not “missing.]
[Any brave souls out there ready to uncover the truth?]
The buzz online grew exponentially, and it wasn’t long before Queen Leanna’s
own affairs were dragged into the light, increasing the online spectacle and the
fiery discourse to near fever pitch.
Eventually, with no other recourse, they decided to pull the trending topics, scrap
the articles, and block the accounts spreading the news. As the frenzy began to
die down, Twitter was suddenly flooded with new celebrity drama: pop idols
dating and pressuring his girlfriend for an abortion, stars caught cheating, etc.
With the fresh deluge of gossip, Darren's now—forgotten story was left in the dust,
no longer the talk of the town.
In a hotel room, Maximilian sat on the sofa, his face ablaze with anger, looking at
his son who once made him proud but now only elicited profound
disappointment. He even had the urge to teach him a harsh lesson.
“Why on earth didn’t you come back? Why didn’t you even send a message?"
Maximilian wondered.
Leanna and Darren exchanged glances and simultaneously knelt before.
Maximilian. Leanna suddenly spoke up. “Dad, I've been unfilial for not being by
your side all these years, leaving my duties to Denzel, Devin, and their wives. I'm
sorry.”
Darren looked at his father, whom he hadn't seen for years. “Dad, your son has
returned.”

It wasn't that they hadn't seen each other for many years. It was just that they
hadn't seen each other face-to—face. He was well aware of the Yates family's
affairs, just never physically present.
Leanna tugged at Harper's hand, urging him to kneel as well, her voice shaking
with emotion. “Dad, this is your grandson, Harper, almost 19 years old now. He
and Cassie are twins.”
The mention of Cassandra darkened Maximilian's face even more. “If they're
twins, why did you only take him and not bring Cassie? Why leave her in the
hospital for us to find, giving evil-doers an opportunity? Cassie has suffered in
the countryside for 18 years.” He turned to Darren, “Was it you who changed
Cassie's genetic sequence and caused Benjamin to think she was his daughter?
Do you have any idea what she’s been through? How do you two plan to make
amends for her?”
Maximilian’s words carried no sentiments of catching up or joy in reunion, just
interrogation. Especially upon seeing Harper, the fury in his heart flared even
more fiercely.
The Yates family finally had a girl, and yet she was lost-lost by her parents once
and then again by Maximilian. What expectations could they have for her return
now?
It was already fortunate she didn’t harbor hate, so what more could they hope
for?
Darren's face was tinged with regret as he whispered an explanation, “Dad, the
situation was critical back then. We could only take one child with us, which is
why we sent you a message to ask you to pick up Cassie. I thought I had
everything under control, but I was wrong... I'm sorry for what Cassie went
through, but she’s my daughter. I couldn't just...”
Yet there was that agreement between them, and Cassandra even had a
recording. He didn’t know what to do. She was his child, and he had already
made one mistake. He didn’t wanna make another.
