The Heiress Return

The Girl Nobody Comes Looking For

For twenty years, Elena Grace had believed that being forgotten was simply her fate.

She had no memories of her parents. No family name she could proudly trace back to. No childhood photographs tucked away in an old album. Just a name, a small room at St. Aurelia's Children's Home, and the quiet knowledge that nobody had ever come looking for her.

But Elena had learned not to complain.

She grew up in the countryside and attended Pinewood Community High School with the other children from the orphanage. It was the only school available in their community.

Every student dreamed of becoming a student at Westbridge Academy, the top-tier high school in New York. Elena had the same dream. She had a great passion for studying but no sponsor and no one to help her.

Almost all the children she grew up with at the orphanage had been adopted by rich families a long time ago, but she was still there, hoping that her time would come one day.

She had three part-time jobs that she did every day. After school, she worked as a bookstore assistant at the only bookstore available in their community. After that, she resumed at a coffee shop, where she helped serve coffee to customers in the evening. She also took a night shift at The Willow Garden Restaurant, where she worked as a waitress.

The Whitmore Family

Meet the Whitmore family, one of the most influential families in New York.

Alexander Whitmore was the CEO of Whitmore Group of Companies. Isabelle Whitmore was his wife and the mother of Adrian Whitmore, Julian Whitmore, and Vivienne Rose Whitmore.

Adrian Whitmore was a popular K-pop star in New York, while Julian Whitmore worked hand in hand with the family company.

Vivienne Rose Whitmore was the only daughter of the Whitmore family. She attended Westbridge Academy, the top-tier high school in New York.

Elena's POV

Elena had just finished her evening shift at the coffee shop and was rushing to The Willow Garden Restaurant for her usual night shift when, suddenly, a group of street thugs came out of nowhere and ambushed her.

She took to her heels, running as fast as she could. Without looking where she was going, she ran into an oncoming vehicle and was knocked down.

The driver immediately took her straight to the only hospital in their community, Cedarbrook General Hospital. He took care of her hospital bills and left without waiting for her to wake up or recover.

Alexander Whitmore's POV

There was an ongoing project in the countryside that belonged to Whitmore Group of Companies. As the CEO, Alexander decided to see how far the project had progressed and follow up on the information that had recently been reported to him.

On his way back to the airport from the project site, he was involved in a car accident and was rushed to the hospital in the nearby community.

The doctor on duty carried out different procedures to stabilize him, but there was a need for a quick blood transfusion.

After conducting the necessary tests, the doctor discovered that Alexander had an AB+ blood type, which was uncommon. The hospital contacted his emergency contact to get his family involved in his medical condition.

Elena's POV

Elena woke up in a strange environment and tried to remove the drip connected to her body.

A nurse saw her and explained that she had been knocked down but was now in stable condition.

Elena insisted on getting discharged. All she could think about was begging her manager for forgiveness because he was a strict boss.

Just a few steps outside her hospital ward, she overheard some nurses talking about a rich man who needed an AB+ blood transfusion.

She headed to the doctor's office to sign her discharge form.

Suddenly, she asked the doctor if she could donate blood for the patient in need since she had the same blood group.

The doctor told her that she needed to wait until she was fully recovered, but Elena insisted, saying that she was perfectly fine.

A small amount of blood was withdrawn from her and taken to the laboratory to conduct a matching test for both her and the patient. She then left the hospital.

The Whitmores' POV

They all arrived at the hospital except Vivienne Whitmore. They immediately requested Alexander's discharge so that they could fly him back to their family hospital in New York, but the doctor said that he had to be stabilized first to avoid further complications.

Since they had already found a donor, the procedure would be carried out right away.

They all waited outside the operating room, waiting for feedback from the doctor.

After a while, the operation was successful.

Alexander's POV

Alexander woke up in a strange room, with his wife rushing to his side and asking how he was feeling.

How did I get here?

Your car was involved in an accident, and a blood transfusion was done to stabilize you, Isabelle Whitmore said.

Knowing how rare his blood group was, he asked if any of his family members had donated blood.

"No. A random stranger donated blood for you,they told him.

He requested to see the doctor.

Inside Alexander Ward

Doctor: How are you feeling, sir?

Alexander: Better. Please, can I know who my donor is? I would like to reward the person.

Doctor: About that, there's an issue. During the laboratory testing, an error occurred.

Alexander: What error?

The doctor sighed.

Doctor: A paternity test was done instead of the blood typing and crossmatching test, and the result came out...

Alexander: Came out what?

Doctor: Positive. Here is a copy. You can cross-check it yourself, sir.

The doctor left the room.Alexander looked at the report in disbelief.

The donor was his biological daughter.

His mind raced.

How is this possible? A Whitmore in the countryside? Who is she? Who gave birth to her? How did she end up there?

For the first time in twenty years, Alexander Whitmore had a mystery he desperately needed to solve.
