This matter could only be entrusted to Cedric, which gave him peace of mind.
After listening to the instructions, Cedric was about to hang up the phone when Ulric suddenly added another point.
“Focus on investigating Sirena.”
“Miss Reynolds? Just now Mr. Chow said… at the time of the incident, he was with Miss Reynolds.”
“She didn’t go, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t send someone else.”
Ulric found Johnny’s account of Sirena’s involvement very strange.
First of all, when did she move to such a faraway place?
And in all these years of knowing her, she had no history of heart disease. Yet at such a critical moment, she suddenly fell ill and had to be rushed to the hospital, only to say she was fine.
This was very suspicious.
“Okay, Mr. Walters, I will start investigating her movements now.”
“Don’t alert her. I’m afraid she might do something to the child.”
“Hmm.”
Putting down his phone, Ulric glanced out the car window.
They were almost at the hospital, and he felt an indescribable mix of emotions-anxious and uneasy.
He was scared.
Scared that the result would not be what he hoped for.
He wished that the child was indeed Rosalind’s. That way, even if she had truly fallen for someone else, there would still be a child to support him through his life.
…
Johnny was extremely anxious about the missing child.
He had called in many favors to search and investigate, reaching out to almost everyone he could think of.
It wasn’t so much that he feared Ulric’s blame; rather… the child was genuinely adorable.
Johnny, who never liked children, found himself thinking that if the child were his, he would love and care for him deeply.
He was so engrossed in his search that he missed Sirena’s call.
By the time he noticed it, almost an hour had passed.
“What is it? I’m busy here.”
“Busy with what? Looking for that child?” Sirena feigned surprise. “Still haven’t found him?”
“No.” There wasn’t even a single clue!
“I told you before, it’s probably the child’s family who took him. How are you going to find him in this vast sea of people? Now look at this mess; you’ve unsettled Ulric’s mind, and the child is still missing. How can he focus on work? The entire W Group relies on him!”
“Can you stop talking? I’m already stressed enough!” Johnny’s tone was harsh and stiff. “Ulric just said that the child might really be Rosalind’s. It scared me half to death. We still don’t know if it’s true.”
Sirena was silent for a few seconds before her voice rose sharply.
“What did you say?! Rosalind?”
“Yes!”
“But you said she couldn’t have children! You saw it with your own eyes at the hospital!”
“It’s because I saw it at the hospital that I always believed it without thinking further.” If he had used his brain more, he might have figured it out sooner.
“So where is Ulric now?”
“He went to the hospital to check records to see if Rosalind was really pregnant when they divorced.”
As soon as Johnny finished speaking, Sirena hung up.
He frowned irritably and then took a deep breath before running forward a few steps to stop a passerby. “Have you seen this child? Fair-skinned with big eyes.”
The passerby glanced at the photo and shook their head. “No.”
Johnny immediately moved on to ask the next person.
He regretted taking Sirena to the hospital more than ever! He should have woken up that kid and taken him along instead.
