Wilson sighed deeply and stood up to leave.
Before leaving, he turned back, looked at Robert and said, "Your father once told me that you were the son whom he was most proud of."
Feeling a little touched, Robert rose and asked, "I know you are a trusted confidant of my father and always accompany him. The memories about that year were totally erased from my mind. Did he say anything before he passed away?"
After Robert lost his memory, his grievance and estrangement with his father Aidan dissipated with the passing of time. Nothing was left but curiosity about his father.
Aidan did say something to people around him at his last moments of being conscious.
Wilson, the most trusted person of Aidan, certainly knew his last words.
He was just hesitant about telling them to Robert.
But it was no use of hiding the last words from Robert as he couldn't bear to see Robert in this condition.
"At that time, there was no word from you. Your father asked me to spare no efforts to find you and let me take care of Georgia and her daughter. Besides, he also told me where the last testament was and required me to get it out with Georgia. However, Georgia had slept for a year. Therefore, the last testament was taken out a year later," Wilson said.
Then he stared at Robert with a look of mixed feelings and asked, "How is your mother?"
"Most of the time, she's in a state of mental disorder. Thus, she doesn't know who she is, where she lies and what happened to her. Only for a very short period of time is she sober. Her nerve is badly damaged, which may last for the rest of her life," answered Robert.
Then Wilson said suddenly, "Your mother is constricted in wheelchair due to the injury in her foot, which was caused last year when I shot at her. And the death of your father was caused by your mother who threw the bomb to him. You must have researched the resentment and grudge between them. At your father's last moments, he wanted you to know that he bore no grudge against your mother since there was something he owed her so you were not expected to be bothered by this matter. He didn't care about this and deemed this as paying debts. He wished that you could be happy and live a happy life with Emma forever."
Then Wilson continued to talk about what had happened in the church a year ago.
Robert kept silent for a long time and asked, "Have you ever found any information about Emma? Did she die or not?"
Wilson shook his head.
"She seems to have disappeared from this world. She may have a cosmetic surgery so it is difficult to find her. Do you want to find her?"
Robert nodded.
"Since she was also in that island at that time, she probably knew something. It will incur a lot of attention if I inquire into this matter. So I want you to investigate it secretly. By the way, her mother cannot be ignored. According to my investigation, her mother was sent abroad so her trace is also needed."
"I see." Wilson obeyed his demand. After they talked for a while, Wilson left first, leaving Robert alone.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that he should go home to visit his mother. Therefore, he asked the driver to send him to where his mother lived.
On his way home, Elliot was at home and her assistant came to her and said, "Ma'am, I got the report from the hospital. Would you like to read it now?"
At that moment, Jasper and Bailey were in the company. Only Selena, Elliot, servants and the children were at home.
Selena was playing with Dan. Elliot gave a look at her daughter and grandson and nodded at the assistant.
"Give the report to me and go ahead. I will call you if anything is needed," said Elliot to the assistant.
After the assistant left, she took her document to the bedroom. Instead of opening the document immediately, she looked at the document with complicated feelings.
Once the document was open, all the truth would be revealed.
She could not pluck up enough courage to open it so that she did not know how long she had sit in the chair.
Finally, she sighed deeply and took out the document, which showed a clear result that the paternity was 99. 9% true. She suddenly began to shiver and her face turned pale. She could not believe this result. Thus, she rubbed her eyes and observed the results again carefully. Nothing changed. This certain result brought her mind to what happened a year ago.
Selena's panic after pregnancy, abnormal behaviors after a flat refusal of getting an abortion, and finally, her inexplicable disappearance all came to Elliot's mind. Besides, after returning to China, Selena was afraid to go home and in order not to be discovered, lived outside secretly.
At last, Jasper went to do bone marrow matching but failed. All these things confirmed the result of report.
Looking at the result, Elliot sneered, "What a good daughter I reared."
She confessed that she did not love her adopted daughter wholeheartedly, but at least she brought forth Selena with care. However, her daughter returned her care and efforts with such cruelty. How could Selena treat Jasper and her so ruthlessly? She felt her heart was painfully burnt.
How could there be such an ungrateful person?
She walked out slowly and asked the housekeeper to come over.
"Any orders, Ma'am?"
"You go to take care of the baby and ask Ms. Holland to come up. I want to talk to her alone."
The housekeeper nodded and went down to see Ms. Holland.
"Ms. Holland, Ma'am wants to have a word with you. I'll take care of the baby."
An uneasy feeling suddenly welled up in her heart in an unaccountable way. The baby held in her arms was unwilling to part with her mother. Selena smiled and said, "I will take care of the baby by myself. We'll just talk. The baby won't be a bother."
The housekeeper replied in a tough tone, "Ma'am said you could not carry the baby with you. You just leave the baby to me and go to Ma'am."
Selena's face abruptly went pallid and she felt an increasingly quick eye twitching as if something horrible was looming. With various speculations, she went up to the second floor step by step. Arriving at the door, she could not summon enough courage to get in. But the person inside said, "I heard your footsteps. Why not come in? Remember to close the door and I have something to talk with you."
Walking into the room slowly, Selena saw her mother sitting on the sofa with an expression showing no sign of anger or delight, which set her heart racing.
After Selena came to her, Elliot raised her eyes, staring at her daughter whom she had reared for years, and said, "Do you think father, brother and I are kind to you for the last decade? Is there something wrong we have done to you?"
The moment Selena heard these words, she was frightened to drop to her kneels. "Mom, you are always nice to me. I would not be so happy without you."
Just as she finished speaking, Elliot gave her a hard smack on the face and yelled, "Well, then, why are you being so ungrateful to seduce your brother? What's all that about the baby? Does your brother know the truth?"
