Chapter 181 Rescued Out

Chapter 181 Rescued Out

This result completely stunned Victor.

He asked, "I did have an older sister, but she died when she was very young. The police issued a death certificate, and we even held a funeral at home. After that, my father's mental state became somewhat unstable. Are you saying my sister isn't actually dead?"

Dr. Bruce looked at him with some sympathy and spread his hands helplessly. "Based on the current situation, perhaps something unexpected really did happen back then. Or maybe Ms. Sandra is Mr. Idris's illegitimate daughter?"

"That's impossible!" Victor rejected the illegitimate daughter theory. "My father only loved my mother. They had a great relationship, and he would never have had the chance to cheat on her."

If she wasn't an illegitimate daughter, then she was very likely his biological sister.

Victor fell silent for a long time, finally turning his gaze to Joanna's face.

He carefully observed Joanna's features. There were indeed some similarities with his father, but that didn't necessarily mean they were family.

Finally, at Victor's strong insistence, the four of them redid the blood tests and DNA comparison.

And this time, the results clearly showed they were blood relatives.

"So does that mean Victor is now my uncle?" Joanna asked in confusion.

Sandra also found this hard to accept. She asked anxiously, "Could there be a mistake? I have my own parents..."

At this point, Sandra suddenly fell silent.

From what she could remember, she indeed hadn't seen her parents many times, and they weren't particularly close. After getting married, they had almost completely lost contact, and Henry never mentioned her family...

All the doubts seemed to find answers in this DNA test report.

After informing them of the results, Dr. Bruce left, leaving the four of them in the hospital room to quietly process this conclusion.

Sandra took the initiative to look at Mr. Idris and asked him, "Do you remember my name?"

Mr. Idris smiled and said, "Sandra, Sandra."

Sandra asked again, "What about your daughter?"

Mr. Idris kept saying Sandra's name, and even playfully clipped a hair clip onto Sandra's head.

Sandra's feelings were complicated. She looked at Victor and said, "I don't know if Joanna ever told Mr. Idris my name, but from what I can see, Mr. Idris does seem to know me. During the days he's been here, he's kept me company trimming flowers and sitting in the sun, and he insists on wanting to brush my hair. He seems to... really see me as his daughter."

Victor was silent for a long time before saying, "I actually hope you really are my sister. My father is getting old. Finding his biological daughter before he passes away would be a good thing for him. Since the test report has confirmed our blood relationship, then no matter what really happened back then, I'll accept you as my sister. I'll help deal with the kidnappers using the special blood type to threaten you. If the Smith family isn't enough, then add me to it."

Sandra didn't know the details of the situation, so she didn't say much. She just looked at Idris with gentle eyes, going along with his childish behavior.

Joanna watched her mother and Mr. Idris interact for a while, then stepped outside the hospital room.

Victor came out too.

He looked at Joanna with a complicated expression. "I never thought I'd turn out to be your uncle."

Joanna didn't continue this topic. Instead, she said, "The fact that Mr. Idris also has the special blood type shows you've kept it well hidden, Mr. Victor. From this perspective, perhaps I should accept your help."

With Victor's help, maybe her mother's safety would be guaranteed.

"Of course." Victor's expression became serious. "My mother died because of her special blood type. I hate these criminal forces too. I just didn't have the ability to deal with them back then. Now that these people have targeted my family again, I won't let them get away with it."

At this point, Victor paused and looked at the nursing home's security setup, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Ms. Jones, you may not have noticed, but since my father moved in here, the security has become very tight. I won't let anyone hurt my father and sister. After all... having been in the pharmaceutical business for so many years, I'm not completely without resources."

He waved his hand, and a person in a security uniform ran over and showed Joanna a military officer's ID.

Joanna was stunned. "Mr. Victor, you..."

Victor winked and smiled. "You're right. My pharmaceutical research has been approved by the government, so naturally I have their protection. Leave this matter to your uncle. No matter how much you've suffered before, from now on, your uncle will protect you both."

Joanna didn't comment on his promise.

In fact, she still didn't feel real about suddenly having an uncle.

If her mother accepted Victor and Idris, then as her mother's child, she would also show Victor respect.

As for whether she truly accepted him in her heart, Joanna couldn't make that guarantee right now.

Victor understood her concerns, so he didn't push it.

After leaving the nursing home, Joanna told Angelo about this.

Although he hadn't witnessed it himself, Angelo was also amazed by this turn of events.

"What a coincidence?"

If he didn't know Victor somewhat, Angelo might have suspected whether Victor's appearance under these circumstances could harm Sandra.

"But this is good too. At least there's one more person concerned about your mother's safety," Angelo comforted Joanna.

Joanna nodded. "That's what I think too. As for whether they're really blood relatives and what actually happened back then, I don't really care anymore."

Nearly a month had passed since Chad and Henry were kidnapped.

Although her mother's safety had been guaranteed during this time, there had been no more information from the kidnappers.

Joanna wasn't naive enough to think the kidnappers had given up on Sandra as a blood source.

As long as these people weren't caught, Joanna wouldn't have peace of mind.

Since confirming the blood relationship, Victor had been frequently visiting the nursing home. With one more person looking after her mother, Joanna could focus her attention on the police side.

A breakthrough came that afternoon.

After leaving the police station, Joanna received another call from them with a photo.

In the photo, Chad had lost a lot of weight. He seemed to have been injected with drugs, his face was pale with a bluish tint, and his eyes were vacant.

Joanna didn't dare show this photo to her mother. She just privately asked them, "Aren't you afraid of being caught by the police? What you're doing is seriously illegal!"

The other side didn't reply.

Three days later, they called again, demanding that Joanna meet quickly for the exchange, or they couldn't guarantee Chad and Henry's safety anymore.
