Chapter 588

Maurice was a little stunned by Aleck’s words. But when he came back to his senses, he immediately

denied Aleck’s speculation.

“No,” he said firmly.

“Then who is the father of the twins…”

Aleck still wanted to ask something, but Maurice, who was already in a bad mood, interrupted him, “It’s

none of your business. It has nothing to do with you. Just do your job well.”

Maurice didn’t need others to remind him again and again that the twins were not his children and that

Eliana had once belonged to another man.

When Aleck noticed that Maurice already looked impatient, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

After a while, Maurice broke the silence and added, “And don’t mention the twin’s identity to my

grandpa. Especially now that he is in poor health and can’t bear any stimulation.”

“I understand, sir.”

Aleck understood it clearly.

Earle liked the twins so much. If he found out that their mother was the woman he hated, he would

definitely not be able to accept it.

Besides, the twins’ biological father was still a mystery.

After making sure that Aleck understood what he meant, Maurice turned around and walked into the

ward.

Earle was lying weakly in the bed with a pale face. Silas sat beside him, watching over him.

As soon as Earle saw Maurice, he immediately snapped, “What did you tell Aileen and Adrian outside?

Do you think I didn’t see it? You are an adult, but you still don’t know how to get along with children.

Why do you like making things difficult for them? Are you not embarrassed?”

Earle scolded Maurice fiercely.

But considering Earle’s health condition, Maurice didn’t dare to retort. He could only explain, “I just

asked them if they knew who the kidnappers were.”

“Are you serious? They are just five-year-old kids. What can they know?” Earle tried his best to stand

up for the twins. “The two kids have just been kidnapped. So you must know how much they’ve

suffered. Why do you have to make things difficult for them? I’ll leave the matter to you. Go and find out

who wants to hurt them.”

He couldn’t believe that someone in this city had dared to hurt his people. Didn’t they know him?

They’d better find a good place to hide. Because if he found them, he would definitely make them pay a

hefty price.

Silas also spoke up to defend the twins. “Uncle Maurice, don’t make things difficult for Aileen and

Adrian. It’s not their fault. What if those bad guys only target them because they are too close to me? It

only means that it’s me who implicates them, right?”

Maurice was rendered speechless after hearing their words.

He must admit that Aileen and Adrian were both adorable. But he still couldn’t help wondering what

they had done to make his family defend and protect them.

“Okay, Grandpa. Rest well and recuperate here. You can rest assured that I will find out who the

kidnappers are.”

Maurice agreed to do it not only to make Earle and Silas feel at ease but also for the safety of Eliana

and the twins.

At this moment, Aleck sent Aileen and Adrian home. He was still full of doubts.

Eliana had been waiting downstairs for a long time. The moment she saw the two children get out of

the car, she immediately rushed over and hugged them.

“Kids, how are you? Are you alright?”

“We are fine, Mommy. We are here now,” Aileen immediately answered. It seemed that her mood was

not affected by the kidnapping.

In contrast to Aileen’s mood, Adrian looked preoccupied.

Eliana looked at Aleck and said, “Hello, Mr. Hinks. Can you tell me what happened today?”

Aleck then explained the whole story of today’s kidnapping incident to her.

“Kidnapping? Someone wants to kidnap Aileen and Adrian? But… How can that be?”

Eliana’s restless heart had already calmed down. But upon hearing Aleck’s words, she became

anxious again.

“Yes, that’s right. We are really sorry that we haven’t caught the kidnappers yet. For now, please be

more careful. We don’t know who the enemy is yet. The Moran family is doing their best to hunt down

the kidnappers. And they will also send some people to guard you. So don’t worry so much,” Aleck

assured Eliana to calm her down.

But Eliana was not in the mood to listen to him. She suddenly thought of how she was almost

kidnapped before.

Could it be that the same person was behind both kidnappings? Since those people failed to abduct

her before, they targeted Aileen and Adrian this time.

This terrifying conjecture sent a chill down her spine. She felt so cold all over that she felt like her blood

almost froze.

Who was that person? Who on earth was targeting them?

Eliana felt like she was shrouded by a dark mist. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t clearly see

the person hiding behind the thick dark fog. But she felt like that person was only waiting for a perfect

opportunity to attack her.
