Chapter 360

I lowered my eyes, still reluctant to accept this reality. It even gave me chills.

To prevent me from returning to the Shaw family, she actually poisoned Grandma.

Compared to her and Mr. Shaw, I preferred the parents from my childhood memories who would hold r in their palms. But fate played a cruel trick on me. I was just a substitute for someone else.

Frank suddenly asked, “Does the hospital still have records from the obstetrics and gynecology department from that time? Were there any familiar faces from the Shaw family who gave birth during those days?”

Flint shook his head. “It’s too long ago. We can’t find that information.”

After finishing the meal, I still wanted to go back to the hospital.

Frank disagreed. “It’s unnecessary. That’s the Shaw family’s hospital, and Grandma will have a professional medical team taking care of her. If you go you won’t be able to help Grandma and will only waste your energy arguing with Bethany.”

“But”

I was feeling very unsettled. It seemed like the only way to feel a bit at ease was to stay by Grandma’s side.

Although he was also somewhat worried about Grandma, he still pinched my cheek and reassured me, “I promise you, Grandma won’t be in danger. If she wakes up, I’ll be the first to tell you.”

“Will they notify you if Grandma wakes up?”

“No.”

“Then…” He smirked slightly. “I have my own plans.”

“Alright.”

“So, you should return to the hotel and get some work done,”

He pushed me into the car and drove towards the hotel.

I had originally planned to return to Jelaston once this matter was settled today. After all, the year was almost over, and the Charlotte Jewelry was about to return to work.

Now, I had gotten myself involved in this situation.

When Grandma would wake up was still uncertain….

Thinking of this, I made a decision. “I want to go back to Jelaston this afternoon.”

Mrs. Shaw’s attitude towards me always felt off.

Even a real biological mother, no matter how much she might dislike me, would have a bit of hesitation. But I didn’t see any of that in her.

Frank saw through me at a glance. “Planning to ask your aunt about your background?”

“Yes.” I nodded.

Frank nodded in agreement. “It’s also a way to approach this matter. Grandma never managed to find out who kidnapped you back then. Maybe you can find some clues.”

I sighed. “I hope so.”

“I need to meet with Flint to interrogate the person he caught this afternoon. I won’t have time to go back with you. I’ll arrange for someone to take you.”

“No need! Jane drove over. Jelaston isn’t far. We can head back by ourselves.”

When I returned to the hotel, Jane rushed over to ask about the outcome of today’s events.

I told her the truth, and she was shocked for a while. Then she seemed to remember something. “By the way, why has your phone been off?”

“It ran out of battery,” I explained. I then asked, “What happened?”

Last night, my mind was consumed with the paternity test matter, and I hadn’t had the time to check if my phoné had battery.

Jane looked helpless. “Your ex–husband has been looking for you! He even came to the hotel.”

I was puzzled. “What for?”

“He didn’t say, but he didn’t look so happy. There must be something wrong. Turn your phone on and call him back.”

“Alright,”

I charged my phone and saw several missed calls from Ryan.

A bad feeling arose in my heart. I immediately called back, and the voice on the other end was cold and commanding. “Finished with the Shaw family’s matters? Back at the hotel now?”

“Yes.”

“Come downstairs in five minutes. We’re going back to Jelaston.”

“Ryan, I don’t-”

“The doctor has issued a critical illness notice for your aunt.”
