Selena's heart thumped, not knowing how to answer at all.
Her heart was beating like crazy. She felt that she was standing on of a cliff, and she could not escape even if she turned back.
But her adoptive mother stared at her with scorching eyes, not giving her any chance to escape. Her brother, Jasper, also looked at her and trying to persuade her through his gaze to stop hiding this time.
But how could she tell the truth? Those burning pains suffered by people, and the truth that could make a person breakdown, she really did not have to courage to say it out.
"Mom, please stop asking me. I've already begged the child's father to do a bone marrow match, but he failed to match. So, please don't ask me anymore..."
Selena knelt on the ground and cried out loud.
"I'm not trying to escape, it's just that he did the test, but it didn't work. He doesn't have any other family member and brothers or sisters. I've stopped contacting him and we won't meet each other ever again. Mom, can you stop asking him?"
Selena cried and begged. Elliot frowned as she looked at her adopted daughter. She was not sure if her words were true, but Elliot saw that Selena cried so badly. Selena even said with conviction that the child's biological father had did the test, but they did not match. This matter seemed to be a huge blow to Selena as well.
Elliot did not want to ask any further. She felt that if she asked again, Selena would collapse. Elliot frowned and spoke.
"The child is yours. I believe that you will not lie to me about this kind of thing. Since the child's father failed to match, this matter ends here. I will not force you again in the future. Get up, the floor is cold. You still need to take care of Dan, don't get sick."
Selena's eyes were red, and she felt extremely guilty. Jasper, who was standing aside, felt sorry for her. He spoke.
"Mom has said, don't kneel on the ground again. You are part of our family. We tried to persuade you because the doctor said that biological parents have a higher chance of making a match. But we did not expect that the child's father has already gone to the hospital to do the matching test. Since this is the case, then forget it. Get up quickly."
After saying this, Jasper had stepped forward to hold his sister's hand. Selena also stood up hurriedly.
The family remained silent for quite some time. The atmosphere was a little sad. Right at this moment, Bailey walked in from outside.
He looked at the silent and sad faces of his family members, and then looked at his daughter's red eyes and sighed softly.
"Although the chance of finding a suitable match for this disease is very small, but it does not mean there is no hope. Our family has money. We can use the best medicine to treat him. Moreover, friends around us are willing to help too. Out of so many people, there must be a suitable match. The most important thing right now is that we should not immersed ourselves in grief. We should try to get help from the people around us, understand?"
Elliot nodded, then Selena and Jasper also responded quickly.
"After I got off the plane, I went to the hospital for the matching test to see if I can be matched. Now, let's eat first and wait for the results to come out."
The Holland family ate their lunch in a sad and silent atmosphere.
On the other hand, on Georgia's side, Camden had contacted her and even arranged a meet up this afternoon. Camden will come to her mansion after work, and Georgia would spend the whole afternoon playing with Annie at home.
At 6p. m., Camden finally reached Georgia's house and knocked at her door. After Georgia opened the door, Camden walked in.
Wilson and Elsie had been waiting at home for a long time, and after everyone sat on the sofa, Georgia spoke to Camden.
"Did you get the file?"
After all, she saw Camden came empty-handed. She was a little worried that he had failed to do so. Camden gave her a smile.
"I did not take the whole bag out. It would be too risky. However, the contents inside my house were captured, I can send the photos to you now."
Georgia and Camden exchanged their contact number, then Camden sent the file to her. Inside the file was some compressed photos, then Georgia directly sent to Wilson and Elsie.
They downloaded the file and opened it. Then, they continued to look at the information inside the photos. Whereas, Camden sat beside and explained about it.
"I looked at the case inside. It says about a fire. More than thirty children in the orphanage did not manage to survive from the fire. Chase, as the head of the orphanage, could not shirk the blame. It is reasonable to say that he must bear the responsibilities, but he turned out to have gotten a lot of money and started a small company. He lived a prosperity life from that onwards. Obviously, this fire case is not that simple. Before this, you guys also reminded me not to dig too much information about this to avoid being found out by others. Hence, I did not ask too many people. Instead, I read through news from the Internet, and I found some clues."
"Before the fire broke out, there was a child in the orphanage who was retrieved by his biological parents. I found the information of the parents, but I don't know the current situation of the child. He should be in his twenties this year. Hence, he should know what happened in the orphanage at that time and why the fire happened a few days later? At least he should know some clues. Furthermore, Chase ran away and started a new life. There must be a major secret behind this incident. What's more, the child's parents are living in D City."
Within the time Camden explained all this, Georgia had finished reading all the information about the fire that year, but she couldn't see any hidden secrets.
What Camden said later, was the real focus of the conversation.
"What's the child's name? And what are his parents' names? Do we have a chance to meet them once? Will it alert others and let the mastermind behind them find out that we are investigating about this?"
Georgia asked these questions and Camden spoke up.
"That child should now be called Benton Jimenez, his father's name is Freddie Jimenez, and his mother's name is Grace Green. If we want to meet his parents, we have to ask them out carefully. So, we have to find a middleman to ask them out. Freddie is the general manager of a branch of Robert's company. If we ask him out by using our names, something will possibly happen. Miss Lane, I understand that your current relationship with Mr. Simpson is a bit awkward, but I think, you can let him to help us. Using his name to meet the general manager of his own branch will be safer. You can talk to him about this matter when you meet him again. If you go and meet this family all alone, it is not very safe indeed."
Camden had very thoughtful considerations about this matter. If she went to meet Freddie's family abruptly, and she had such high attention now, someone would indeed notice her movements. Furthermore, Elsie and Wilson had been investigating about the past recently. If all of these actions were connected together, it was very likely to be found out about what they were doing right now. However, getting help from Robert was not an easy task, but it also seemed to be the only way at this moment.
Moreover, Travis told her that he had not gotten Robert's hair. Perhaps, she should indeed find an opportunity to ask Robert out.
As she was thinking a way out, she suddenly remembered that Robert promised to return those jewelry to her, so maybe she could make a phone call right away and meet him.
"You are right. To ask Freddie out, we need to make stealth preparation. I will deal with Robert. Mr. Camden, thank you helping me to investigate so many things. I will let my people to investigate about this."
When Georgia finished speaking, Camden subconsciously glanced at Wilson.
"I have heard about your name. You are a legend in the mercenaries. I heard that the army even wanted to recruit you before, but unfortunately you didn't go. If it is you who investigate this matter, I believe that you will succeed."
Wilson showed a faint smile to Camden. At last, Georgia, Wilson and Elsie stood up and sent Camden out.
In the future, she would not involve Camden again because he was now working inside the police station. Dealing with a police officer everyday would attract too much attention.
Although she had decided to meet Robert and seek help from him, she still decided to ask Wilson's opinion about this matter.
No matter what he did, Wilson was very experienced. It was always right to listen to him.
"Do you think it is appropriate to seek help from Robert to ask Freddie out?"
"Camden gave a good idea. According to your relationship with Robert, others will not think much if you ask him out alone. The only person will think much about it is Sierra. However, everyone will only take it as she is jealous about you and think that you want to win Robert back. This is indeed the safest plan."
It seemed that Wilson agreed to this plan too. Georgia picked up her phone and called Robert.
Robert was sitting in the car at this moment. He was heading home and saw his phone ringing. It was a call from Georgia. He felt a little surprised, but he still picked up the phone.
"Hello."
Robert greeted her with some excitement. In his mind, he thought of Georgia's look after she finished dancing last night. She was so lively and pretty. Her figure kept wandering inside his dreams and he chased her figure inside his dream world.
The more he got along with Georgia, the more he believed that he must had been deeply in love with this woman in the past. Otherwise, why would his eyes still linger on this woman after he lost his memory?
It was just that there were too many things happening around him. Robert frowned as he thought about his experiences after he lost his memory for a year. If he thought of it carefully, he could find that there were too many suspicions. He must investigate all these things.
He had an intuition that there was a lot of danger around him.
"Robert, didn't you say that you wanted to return those jewelries to me? I have something that needs me to meet you once. Please arrange a time to meet with me and return those jewels to me by the way. This matter is very important."
"Can't you say it over the phone?"
Robert asked. He could not guess what was the important thing that made Georgia wanted to see him about.
"This matter is too important. It can't be said clearly on the phone. I must tell you in person. You arrange a time and meet me outside. I will choose the location. You tell me your free time."
In fact, Robert also wanted to meet her. Then, they could talk about their past and talk about Riley and Travis. These hidden thoughts had been inside his heart for a long time. Until now, he could not stand all these suspicions and speculations anymore.
"Well then, let's meet tomorrow night."
Robert knew that Georgia would go to work during the day. Tomorrow would be Monday. So, he set the time in the evening. It was estimated that it was just the right time for her.
"That's good. It's settled now. Come to M Garden tomorrow. I'll have the staff bring you up when you reach."
The two hung up the phone after they finished talking. By the next day, after Georgia sent Annie to school in the morning, she went to work at MU Research Institute.
During the previous weekend, she had been looking at the past year's information at home. She looked through the current research progress, research directions and experimental data of other researchers and professors.
She gradually had a thought in her mind. She decided to go to the lab to do one or two simple experiments to verify her thought.
However, she just didn't know why every time when she saw Aston, she felt a little awkward. She could not help but to think of Kayden. She wanted to know what she was planning to do again, but Aston seemed to be particularly defensive of Kayden. Hence, Georgia dared not say out the question in her mind.
Even when she wanted to discuss about the experimental questions with Aston, Georgia couldn't help feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Hence, she sought help from Simon.
Whenever she had doubts or couldn't understand something, she would most probably ask Simon to help her.
Simon was also an extremely talented person in this area. Although he wasn't as talented as Aston, but he was considered a person with a bright future compared to others in this laboratory.
Simon had already graduated from Ph. D. If he continued doing research in the laboratory for a few more years, perhaps he would be promoted to professor before his forties.
In the evening, Georgia was ready to leave immediately. She noticed Aston was calling her.
"Let's have a talk."
