The private room was in complete silence.With a deep look in his eyes, Justin looked straight at Nora and asked, "What kind of difficulties?"
Nora couldn't figure out what the man was thinking, so she felt that she couldn't tell him everything at once.
She had to take it slow.
What if that domineering man took the two children away and refused to let her see them anymore after she told him the truth? Nora had never been one to do things she wasn't confident about, especially when her children were involved.
She lowered her gaze and said, "All mothers love their children.Maybe someone took the child from her when she had only just given birth? Or maybe she has been looking for the child all these years?"
Justin's jaw tightened.
He asked, "Then can you tell me how she became pregnant with my child?"
How she became pregnant? How would Nora possibly know?! She shook her head.
"Even you don't know how the child came about.Maybe she doesn't know, either?"
Nora raised her head.
Her almond-shaped eyes were very dark on her deathly pale countenance.
However, her eyes glinted with a dark light as she said, "Of course, I'm not trying to make excuses for her.Since she has brought the baby into the world, it is her negligence as a mother that she failed to foresee what came next and failed to protect her child."
She had spent every day in pain and regret during the past five years.
Back then, she had immediately contacted her aunt abroad when she discovered that she was pregnant.
Her aunt had wanted to come back to the States to take her right away, but because Nora was in the midst of developing a drug, she had been reluctant to leave.
Thus, the two of them had agreed that her aunt would only come back for her during her ninth month of pregnancy.
Cold-hearted people like the Smiths would never help her to raise her children.
She had envisioned many different scenarios, but she had never expected that she would give birth prematurely.
Neither did she expect Henry to be so vicious! How exactly had he brought himself to bury his own grandchild with his own hands? After that, she had blamed herself and regretted her actions countless times, but it was all useless and to no avail.
Justin looked at her.
Even though she was expressionless, she gave off an air of pain.
He wanted to ask what exactly had happened back then, but he suddenly couldn't bring himself to ask any more.
From the way she doted on Pete so excessively, it was obvious that she wasn't someone who would abandon her son.
Moreover, she was Anti.
Money was pretty much within easy reach for her.
There was no way she would be interested in a mere 1.5 million dollars! Therefore, the woman who had called him anonymously that time wasn't her at all!
Unfortunately, he had really dug up a baby at the location that the woman had given to him and seen that the baby was on the brink of death.
After that, he had also had a DNA paternity test done and verified that the baby was indeed his child.
He then tried to trace Pete's mother's phone number, but by then, she had already disappeared off the face of the earth.
All traces of her had been erased.
At that time, he had thought that the woman must be afraid that he would seek revenge on her.
Even though he had never stopped looking for her all these years, he didn't put much effort into it anymore, either.
After all, she was Pete's mother.
Was he really supposed to kill her after he found her? But now that he thought about it again, how would someone who had the ability to escape his tracking efforts and leave him clueless after calling him possibly lack those 1.5 million dollars? Beep.
In the midst of his thoughts, his cell phone suddenly beeped.
It was Lawrence sending him information on Caleb.
Justin glanced at Nora—she was looking straight ahead blankly as if she was still stuck in her memories.
He didn't bother her and opened the email instead.
The email contained all of Caleb's information.
Name: Caleb Gray Age: 29
Height/Weight: 6'1", 154 Ibs
Health: Frail and sickly
Justin frowned when he saw this.No wonder he wasn't married yet despite being 29 years old.
It was probably his 'frail and sickly' constitution that was holding him back.
He continued to read on.
The further he read, the more grave his expression became.
