454 A New Clue
Tammy quickly raised her hand and shouted, "Come on over here! Gary is here!"
Anna leaned back as she waited for someone to answer the phone. She watched as the nurse filled the bottle with drops, connected the line, removed the needle cap, and held Gary's hand. After a brief pause, the nurse decided to look for a more visible vein on his foot.
The nurse lifted Gary's trousers the moment someone answered Anna's phone.
"Hello, this is the Flower Welfare Home in Birmingham. How can | help you, please?"
Anna's eyes were fixed on Gary's ankle, and she felt a chill run through her body. Her ears suddenly started ringing, and that made her dizzy. Her hand shook, and the phone fell to the floor loudly.
"Hello? Hello?”
After waiting half a minute without hearing anything, the receptionist hung up the phone angrily.
Tammy turned her head as she heard the phone fall to the floor. Anna seemed shocked and pale. There was sweat on her forehead, and her entire body shook slightly.
"Mommy, what's the matter?" Tammy asked, concerned.
“Is it okay that we look after Gary ourselves these days?" Anna asked. She sat down, holding onto a nearby chair, and kept her voice calm.
"Okay." Tammy agreed, although she had no idea what was going on.
And Tammy noticed a strange pattern on Gary's ankle when she looked in 453 A New Clue the direction Anna was looking.
Two leaves were holding against a green seedling. A crescent moon Was supposed to be above, but he didn't have that on his ankle.
Anna forced herself to relax. Tammy had mentioned something to her on the way to the hospital, and something suddenly occurred to her.
"You said Gary was Irish, right?" Anna asked.
“Well, that's what the orphanage president said.”
"Would you mind picking up my phone off the floor for me, honey?"
"Sure." Tammy took up the phone and handed it to Anna. She felt something strange when she touched Anna's hand.
Mommy's reaction is so strange. What happened, mommy? she thought to herself.
Anna then took a picture of Gary's ankle, sent Ryan the photo and asked, "Is this the same pattern?"
Ryan responded, "Yes,"
When Ryan saw the photo, he couldn't help but frown. He deduced from the photo that it had to be a child and from the child's hospital gown that he was in the hospital. He went downstairs immediately and texted, "I'll be right there," a second before starting the engine.
Half an hour later, Ryan arrived at the hospital. He and Anna sat across from each other in the hospital cafeteria, both looking gloomy. Then Ryan combined the photo Anna had sent him with the tattoo image he had previously printed.
"The top half of this pattern is missing, but the rest is identical in detail and proportions to that. I can assure you this is the one. Who is this person, anyway?"Asked Ryan.
Anna pointed to the building behind her, "He's a little boy, and he's getting an infusion upstairs. Tammy said that she had seen this boy at the Flower orphanage and that he was Irish. He was adopted in Ireland and then abandoned after being brought to Birmingham."
As Anna was speaking, an idea struck her. "Is it possible that he was brought here by the man?" she asked.
