Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 836:

Marissa knew that he was still troubled by yesterday’s revelation that he wasn’t really Paul Alvarado. If she told him that he was actually her long-lost father, Brian Nash, Marissa had no way of knowing how he would react.

She had no doubt that he would be overjoyed, but an emotion that extreme was still risky for someone in his condition.

After collecting her thoughts, Marissa spoke. “I have some incredible news to tell you, but you must promise me that you will control your emotions. Otherwise, your body won’t be able to handle it, and you might collapse.”

Paul immediately nodded in earnest. “I promise to keep myself in check.”

“You are the fearsome Paul Alvarado, so you’d better keep your word,” Marissa teased. “If I have to give emergency treatment to you after this, I’m really going to laugh in your face.”

Paul chuckled softly. “You little rascal. Just a moment ago, you were crying so hard that I didn’t know what to do, and now you are making such a joke? Your mood is quite unpredictable.”

He reached for her hand and patted it gently. “Go ahead and tell me what it is. I will remain calm. Have some faith in me, okay? You said it yourself; I am the fearsome Paul Alvarado. There’s no way I’m giving you a chance to laugh at me.”

Marissa slowly breathed a sigh of relief. “I know who you really are—your true identity.”

Paul stiffened at her words, but his breathing remained steady. He said nothing and waited for her to continue. Even Elvis perked up at what he heard.

He had to stop himself from taking a step closer and settled for straining his ears to hear what Marissa was about to say.

“Who am I?” Paul asked.

Marissa looked him in the eye and answered, “You are my father.”

Paul looked stunned for several seconds, then his face broke into a smile. “Does that mean you’ve agreed to be my daughter?”

“It’s not about whether I agree or not.” Marissa took both of Paul’s hands in hers. “You are my biological father, the medical genius from years ago, Brian Nash from Blebert.”

Silence fell over the room. No one dared to speak or move, and the only sound they could hear was each other’s breathing.

Elvis was utterly dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Marissa, unable to make sense of what she had just said. Paul himself looked shocked as he stared at her face. He didn’t seem capable of doing anything else.

Marissa kept quiet and gave her father time to process the truth. She was afraid that his emotions would spike if she pushed too much.

After what felt like an eternity, Paul shifted in his seat. His shoulders shook slightly, and his voice trembled when he said, “I don’t think I heard you right, Marissa. Can you say that again?”

Paul hadn’t missed what Marissa had said; he just couldn’t wrap his mind around it. The news left him overwhelmed, emotions surging like a tidal wave.

Sensing Paul’s reaction, Marissa gently retrieved the DNA test report from her email and handed him her phone
