âI donât know anything,â Ms. Lawson said as she trembled.
Duke did not care whether she was a woman or a man. He just reached out to break her wrist.
The baby had been handled by this nurseâs hands at that time, so she needed to suffer the consequences.
Ms. Lawson screamed in pain. âDoes law still exist? Iâm going to call the police!â
Adina let go of her with contempt. âOkay, letâs call the police. Let the police investigate your illegal operation from three years ago.â
The surgery had been an underground operation. Those who participated were paid off to shut their mouths.
If there was an investigation, it would be impossible to not find any evidence.
The nurse held her broken wrist and dared not breathe heavily.
She was sure that if she insisted on not telling the truth, the man would also break her legs.
âThe baby was dead when she was handed over to me.â Ms. Lawson closed her eyes. âBut while I was taking care of her, she suddenly started to cry and breathe again.â
Adinaâs eyes shone brightly.
She was so worked up that her hands trembled, but she dared not interrupt Ms. Lawson from making her statement.
âWhen the baby came back alive, I tried to return her to the Willis family, but they were too busy. I waited in front of the hospital for one day, but I couldnât meet them. In the end, I met a couple who needed a baby girl, so they paid me $5,000 and bought the babyâ¦â
âWhat did you say?â Adina growled.
Her emotions had gone through many ups and downs. At this point, her expression was extremely cold and ruthless.
Duke gently patted her on the shoulder before he sternly asked, âDo you still remember how the couple looked?â
Ms. Lawson tried her best to recall. âI remember that the man was tall and big. There was a big birthmark on his chin. They paid me $5,000 in cash before they left with the baby.â
Adina had an extreme headache.
Five thousand dollars!
Her daughter was worth $5,000!
It felt like her heart had exploded! That was how painful 4 it was.
âDan, take Addy out for a breath of fresh air,â Duke said coldly.
When Daniel saw how pale Adina looked, he immediately held her shoulder. âDuke will handle everything. Letâs go out for a walk.â
Adina really could not bear to stay there any longer.
She massaged her forehead while she followed Daniel to the backyard of the hospital.
âAddy, the baby is still alive. This is the best news. Nothingâs better than that,â Daniel comforted her. âI heard from Duke that your blood type is rather rare, so it shouldnât be difficult to find a child with such a rare blood type.â
Something crossed Adinaâs mind, but she did not quite catch it.
âIâll contact the DNA center, so donât worry anymore, Addy.â Daniel changed the subject. âOh, Addy, do you know what Dadâs been doing all these years? Heâs traveled around the world to search for you.
Heâs currently in Ascrialia, so he canât come back to meet you. âeven if he wants to because he canât get a flight ticket. I guess heâll only be back the day after tomorrow.â
Dillonâs face appeared in Adinaâs mind.
After they reunited four years ago, they were separated for another four years before they could get along well enough.
She really wanted to meet her old man.
The siblings talked about their lives over the past four years. A while later, Duke came downstairs.
He pursed his lips and said, âI produced a rendering of the couple according to Ms. Lawsonâs description. After I keyed in the big data, I found that the man was a human trafficker. He was arrested three years ago, and all the kids he kidnapped were sent to an orphanage in Cloud Cityâ¦â
Boom!
Adinaâs mind was instantly blown.
She finally realized what had just crossed her mind.
Adina grabbed Dukeâs hand. âHurry over to Grapie and do a paternity test!â
She slowly uttered those words with hope, anxiety, and fear.
Duke was stunned too.
Grapie was the little girl he had met once. Her eyes were similar to Melodyâs when she was little, and she also looked like Addy.
Was she really their daughter?
