Chapter 1474
Reborn Through Fire
âI might not be able to find it, but Kelvin can definitely get to the bottom of this,â Gilbert said.
Kisaâs heart raced, and she pulled out her phone to call Kelvin.
Kelvin was a big shot in the medical world, and sure enough, the investigation results were in the very next afternoon.
âNo way! Mrs. Webb Sr. didnât have twins at all. She only had one kid. So why on earth did Thomas tell me he and Peter were twins? Or maybe Thomas was bamboozled too? And this con has been going on for thirty years! What the heck was the goal of the person who cooked up this scheme?
As Kisa pored over the info, Gilbert suddenly piped up, âSo, your visit to Oceanville wasnât just to see my uncle, was it? Youâre also on the hunt for your brother, and you think he might be one of the Webb brothers, am I right?â
âYep, they have got the same birthmark as my mom,â Kisa confirmed.
âSpeaking of that birthmark, doesnât it strike you as kind of fishy?â Gilbert chuckled.
âWhat do you mean?â Kisa eyed him suspiciously.
âYou only have one brother, but both Webb bros have the same darn birthmark. That seems like a mighty big coincidence, doesnât it?â
Kisa stayed silent as Gilbert continued. âAnd letâs not forget about the twins. Mrs. Webb Sr. only had one kid, yet the Webb family was going around town claiming that she had twins. Doesnât that seem a little odd to you?â
Kisa scrunched up her face. âAre you trying to tell me thatâ¦â
âYup, you got it. The reason they pulled this stunt was to keep one of the children hidden away. And that child might just be your brother.â
âCould it be Thomas?â
Gilbert shook his head. âI donât think so. Mr. Webb Sr. treats his two sons too differently. It seems intentional.â
Kisaâs hands clenched tightly as she spoke in a low voice. âThen Iâll find a way to get a DNA test with both Thomas and Peter separately.â
Gilbert sneered and looked down. âThis is Oceanville. Everywhere you go, the Webb family has eyes and ears. The results of the DNA test you get may not be reliable.â
Kisa pursed her lips. She found that Gilbert had a point. The DNA test she had taken with Andrew and Ada had been tampered with, or else she would have known that the two children were hers much earlier.
Seeing Kisaâs expression, Gilbert casually said, âDonât worry. Now that you have a target, you will surely find your brother.â
âThank you,â Kisa replied, looking at him sincerely.
Gilbert chuckled lightly and sneered. âWhat good is thanking me with words? Will a person like you really understand gratitude?â
He then looked into her eyes and continued. âI helped you, loved you, and spoiled you. Will you forget all the past grievances and stay with me? No, you wonât! Even though you say thank you, you will still join forces with those people to come after me, wonât you?â
Kisa struggled to find words as she watched his mocking smile. Nowadays, no matter how much she talked, it would be all in vain.
In the dead of night, Thomas rummaged through every nook and cranny of his room until he pulled out a wooden box from the deepest drawer. With a red cloth wrapped around it, the box held a bracelet. He gazed at it for what seemed like an eternity, until a realization washed over him, making him chuckle.
bitterly and shed tears at the same time.
âAh, so thatâs it. Thatâs it,â he murmured as he held the bracelet in his hand and rushed out of his room.
Peter had just come downstairs when he saw his elder brother charge toward the study like a man possessed. He furrowed his brow and followed suit, unsure of what was happening.
