Chapter 585
"Ellie, what's wrong? You look a little strange."
Ellie shook her head and felt helpless and lost.
In fact, she was already mentally prepared. Perhaps, everything was just a coincidence, but she had
long wanted to know who her parents were.
Back then, she was picked up from the forest by a villager. In that forest, wild animals would appear
from time to time. She was left there, which indicated that her parents did not want her to live.
Usually, if a baby was left at the entrance of a hospital or a welfare home, it would still be likely to be
saved. However, she was abandoned in that kind of deserted forest. If she hadn't been so lucky to be
discovered by someone, she would have starved to death or been eaten by wild animals.
So all these years, Ellie wanted to find her parents and ask them why they abandoned her, or they just
carelessly lost their children.
But for so many years, she had found nothing about them.
Talking with Amelia made Ellie very comfortable. She thought that if this woman were her mother, there
might be some stories about what happened back then.
"You can tell me if you have any difficulties. Although I can't help you, I can at least comfort you. After
all, I'm so old and have experienced more things than you have."
"It's nothing. I just thought of something troubling me at work."
Ellie shook her head and said nothing more.
Amelia did not force her to speak when noticing her unwillingness.
After a while, the hospital called and said that the physical examination report had come out. Ellie stood
up and said, "Mrs. Flores, I still have something to do. I will come to see you again when I'm free."
Amelia nodded and also felt very close to the girl in front of her and naturally welcomed her visit.
Ellie rushed to the hospital and took the physical examination report. Everything was normal. As long
as the time was right, she could have a bone marrow transplant at any time.
However, she did not know when Evelyn would agree.
Just as Ellie was thinking, her cell phone rang. It was from Joseph, Evelyn's uncle.
"Ellie, I heard you are in J City now. Why haven't you come back yet?"
Ellie was surprised that Joseph would call her, since the people of the Smiths never liked her.
"It might take some more time. What's the matter?" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"It's okay. I just want to ask about how things are going with Evelyn and Derek?"
At first, Joseph didn't take the affair between Derek and Evelyn seriously. After all, Old Master had
always opposed it.
But now, Evelyn went straight to J City to pursue Derek, which could only prove that she was very
serious.
If Evelyn married Derek, she would probably have a higher position in the Smiths.
Instead, Joseph wanted them to stay away from each other so as not to influence the heirship of his
son Charles. After all, he had known how tactful Derek was.
If Evelyn, who was usually stupid and arrogant, had such a brilliant helper, there would be endless
trouble for him.
"Not bad now..."
Ellie knew that Meredith would definitely agree to leave Derek for the sake of her mother's illness . If
so, it might work out soon between Derek and Evelyn.
When Joseph heard this, he hung up with mixed feelings.
Stary, Joseph's wife, saw this and quickly asked, "How is it? Is she successful now?"
"No, but it seems that everything is going well. If she really marries into the Xaviers, it will threaten
Charles..."
"So, fortunately, I was careful enough to have prepared for this situation."
Stary patted her chest in fear. That year, Cali passed away shortly after giving birth to a child in J City.
When the Old Master knew, he asked others to bring the baby back.
At that time Stary was worried that the Old Master would leave more property for his beloved daughter
and then had already changed the child.
In that harsh place, a baby couldn't possibly survive and must die.
"But I always feel uneasy."
Joseph sighed and what he had done was for his son.
...
In the afternoon
Derek's subordinates finally found some clues.
The person who spoke to Evelyn shared the same location with Meredith.
In other words, this person went to Capital City a while ago and came back to J City during this time.
Although he didn't use this phone number every day, this strange coincidence was still worth noting.
Derek narrowed his eyes and probably knew who that person was.
It was not surprising that Parker did this.
That man was not kind or honest. He started from scratch and used whatever means he could. To
achieve his goal, he even made friends with the enemy, which was something usual to him.
"There's no need to check. I know who it is. I'll deal with it."
Derek sent them down and sneered at the schedule.
It seems that Parker has been busy these days and had made much trouble for him. No wonder that
Evelyn suddenly became smarter.
After thinking about it, Derek asked someone to check Parker's current location. And then at about the
end of the day, Derek drove over alone.
Parker was working at the company. When he got off work, he saw Derek's car parked downstairs.
He felt it was wired. This person would come to look for him on his own initiative. There was absolutely
nothing good about it.
Parker went around in order to evade Derek, but he hadn't expected him to come here.
"Mr. He, long time no see." Derek greeted him with a fake smile.
"I have seen you a few days ago. A long time?"
Parker was too lazy to pay attention to him and was just about to go around and get into his car. Derek
coldly said behind Parker. "You have been in contact with the young lady of the Smiths lately. Why do
you have nothing to say when meeting me?"
Parker was startled. He had been very careful to contact Evelyn these days. He did not expect that
Derek would find any clues.
It had to be said that Derek was indeed tactful and the strongest opponent he had ever met.
"So you found out."
Parker didn't want to deny it. After all, he had already been found out by Derek and it was meaningless
to deny.
They were all smart people, so there was no need to play tricks.
"But even if you find out, what can you do? You're gonna expose my tricks to Meredith? Will she
believe you?"
