In the hospital’s blood laboratory, someone carefully handed Terrence a blood sample. “This is what you wanted.”
“Good. Don’t let anyone find out about this,” warned Terrence.
“Yes… Yes, got it,” they answered.
Terrence took the blood sample and got back to his car, He dialed Jason’s phone number. “Young master Reed, we have the blood sample.”
“Okay, stick to the plan,” Jason said coldly and ended the call. Those dark peach blossom eyes fell on the stack of papers that were spread out in front of him.
This was information on Mrs. Watts. Mrs. Watts’s name was… Tang Yihui. It was not his mother’s name, but the last name was the same as his mother’s. It was… a name he hated.
Strangely enough, they could only find out information 25 years ago. Much of the information before that had not up been preserved due to the lack of technology back then, so nothing beyond that timeframe could be found.
’25 years ago…
till Moreover, the papers also stated that Tang Yihui had been in and out of plastic surgery hospitals many times 25 years ago. It was said that she underwent facial plastic surgery because a robber disfigured her during a robbery attempt.
However, they could not find photos of her before her plastic surgery. Even the hospital records were gone. It was as if someone had deliberately gotten rid of them.
‘Could Tang Yihui be… the woman I’m looking for?’
Even though there was no real evidence, the investigation. results in front of him only reinforced his suspicions.
Therefore, he sent Terrence to the hospital to get Mrs. Watts’s blood sample. Doing a DNA test on the blood sample would tell him the truth.
They would find out whether this woman was the woman he had been looking for!
Knock! Knock!
There were suddenly a few knocks on the door. Jason instantly came back to his senses after realizing he had fallen into a trance just now. A faint sense of fear rose in his heart.
‘What am I afraid of? Am I afraid that Mrs. Watts is really the mother I’ve been looking for who abandoned me? Am I afraid of facing that woman again?
‘Or maybe I’m just afraid of… Grace’s choice.
‘What would Grace do when the time comes?’
“Come in,” said Jason as he put away the documents spread out on his desk.
Grace walked in when the door opened, and Jason froze. He was just thinking about her, and here she was.
“What are you doing here?” he asked as he got up and stepped forward.
“I dropped off the kids at their interest cla** nearby after leaving the hospital and dropped by to see you. By the way, Mrs. Watts’s operation went well. The doctor said she can leave the hospital in a week,” said Grace.
“Really?” Jason asked indifferently.
Grace said, “If you have time, come with me to the hospital to see Mrs. Watts. Speaking of which, it seems that you haven’t seen them after their first day here!”
“What’s the matter? Do you want me to spend more time with them?” asked Jason.
“They’re like family to me. They took good care of Jasper and me when we were in L City. Of course, I hope you can get along with them. You guys can get closer if you spend more time with each other, “said Grace.
“What will you do if I say I can never get along with them?” Jason asked abruptly.
Grace was stunned. “What’s wrong? Do you not like my mentor and his wife?”
“No, I just want to ask whose side you’ll take if I can never get along with them?” he asked.
Grace smiled. “If you really can’t get along, then we can live our own lives separately. They’ll go back to L City, and I can just go to L City whenever I want to visit them. Jay, I won’t ask you to please the people I like for me.”
After all, her mentor and his wife were kind to her, not Jay. Jay could like them for her, but if he could not, then there was no need to force it.
Jason looked down slightly. His eyes grew darker and darker as he looked at the faint smile on the corners of her lips.
If everything was as he speculated, then her mentor and his wife might not be able to return to L City. She would have to choose sides.
“Promise me that you won’t stand against me no matter what happens,” Jason said as he stared at Grace with a burning gaze.
“There’s no way I’ll stand against you,” Grace said with amusement and stroked his cheek with her still awkward fingers. “Jay, I’ll stand by you no matter what!”
His eyes lit up, then a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips. It was beautiful and charming. “Then you must remember what you told me today, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll remember it. I won’t forget it!” She coaxed gently as if soothing a troubled child.
He raised his hand to gently bring the hand she put on his cheek to his lips and kissed it.
Perhaps it was for the best if it was not as he speculated.
“Grace, I… can leave the hospital in a couple of days. Your mentor and I have also booked our flight home. But before we go back, I want to go to your father-in-law’s tomb to pay my respects. After all, though it’s a little presumptuous of us to say this, we think of you as our daughter. Hence, we think of him as our in-law,” said Mrs. Watts.
Grace was a little surprised. After all, her mentor and his wife had already offered incense to her father-in-law in the mourning hall. This time, they even wanted to go to his tomb to pay their respects.
“His tomb is in the Reed family’s ancestral cemetery. Outsiders aren’t allowed to enter,” Grace said a little awkwardly.
“Really?” Mrs. Watts’s face was visibly upset.
ally?
Old Lawyer Watts said, “We really want to pay our respects. We think it’d be disrespectful not to pay the dead our respects since we’re already here. Why don’t you bend the rules this.
time?”
Grace only found what her mentor said a little far-fetched. After all, they did not need to pay their respects, but since her mentor and his wife wanted to do it so much, she said, “Okay, I’ll talk to Jay. I’ll take you there if Jay agrees.”
“Alright,” said Old Lawyer Watts.
Grace told Jason about the matter in the evening. “My mentor and his wife would like to go to the Reed family’s cemetery to pay their respects to my father-in-law. Can they?”
“Pay their respects?” Jason raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Whose suggestion was this?”
Grace said, “Mrs. Watts suggested it, and my mentor also wants to do it. I know outsiders aren’t allowed to enter, but they mean well.”
Jason pursed his thin lips. His eyes showed that he seemed to be thinking about something. Moments later, he said, “You can take them there if they want.”
“You’re not coming?” she asked.
He muttered, “Me? I’ll be there later.” The results would be out tomorrow, and he would find out whether the woman was really her!
If she was not, he would personally thank them for paying their respects to his father and make sure they left Emerald City safely.
However, if she was her… then he would make that woman confess and repent her sins in front of his father’s grave!
“Grace, you’ll never betray me, right?” She would not betray him like how that woman betrayed his father, right?
“Why are you asking me that again?” she asked with a smile. She knew he was sensitive and skeptical. She just wanted him to feel more secure.
