When Love Breaks by jack

Chapter 377

I let my gaze drop, struggling to accept the harsh reality. Even the thought of it sent shivers down my spine. To think Susan would go as far as poisoning Ramona to keep me away from the Myers family.

Compared to her and Richard, I cherished the memories of my childhood, when my parents held me dear in their hearts. Yet, fate had its cruel twists, and I was nothing more than someone else's stand-in.

Out of nowhere, Gregory asked, "Is there any chance the hospital still has maternity records from back then? Is it possible that any friends or acquaintances of the Myers family had a baby around the same time?"

Farley shook his head. "That's way back. It's too hard to track down now."

After dinner, I wanted to return to the hospital.

Gregory objected, "There's no need. That's the Myers family's territory. Ramona has a top-notch medical team looking after her. If you go there, you won't be able to help, and you'll end up clashing with Dorothy again."

"But..." I was in turmoil.

Somehow, staying by Ramona's side seemed the only way to find peace.

Gregory seemed worried about Ramona, too, but he pinched my cheek reassuringly and promised, "Nothing will happen to her. And I'll let you know right away if she wakes up."

I doubted it. "Would the Myers family even inform you if she woke up?"

Gregory replied without hesitation. "No."

I was curious. "Then how..."

He smirked. "I have my ways."

"Okay then."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"So, focus on your job at the hotel." He ushered me into the car and drove toward the hotel.

I thought I'd head back to RiverCity once the ordeal was over. After all, the holiday was finishing, and Janedream was about to start up again. But I got

caught up in the mess. When Ramona would wake up was still uncertain. With that thought, I decided, "I want to return to RiverCity this afternoon."

Susan's attitude toward me always felt off. As a mother, no matter how resentful, she would show some hesitation, right? But I saw none of that in Susan.

Gregory saw right through me. "Planning to ask your aunt about your origins?" I admitted, "Right."

He nodded, "That's a good idea. Ramona never figured out who kidnapped you back then. Maybe you can uncover something."

I sighed, "I hope so."

Gregory said softly, "I've got a meeting with Farley this afternoon to interrogate the suspect he caught. I can't come with you, but I'll arrange for someone to take you."

I turned down his kindness. "No need! Christine drove here. It's close by. We can manage on our own."

Back at the hotel, Christine rushed over as soon as I walked in, eager to hear about the day. I shared everything, leaving her shocked. Then, remembering something, she asked, "Why was your phone turned off when I tried calling?"

"Ran out of battery." After explaining, I inquired, "What's up?"

All I could think about the previous night was the paternity test, so had no energy to worry about my phone's battery. And today, I was too busy to even look at my phone.

Christine sighed, replying, "Your ex-husband Bryant was looking for you! He even came to the hotel."

I was puzzled. "What for?"

Christine added, "He didn't say, but he seemed upset. Probably, it was m something important. Turn on your phone and give him a call."

"Okay." After charging my phone, a barrage of missed calls from Bryant popped up.

A sinking feeling grew in my stomach. I immediately called back, O and Bryant answered quickly in a stern and commanding tone, “Done meddling with the Myers family's mess? Back at the hotel?"

I answered, "Yes."

Bryant's icy voice came through again. "Meet me downstairs in five minutes.

We're heading back to RiverCity."

I was trying to say no. "Bryant, I don't..."

"Your aunt's doctor issued a critical condition notice."
