At 8:30 in the morning, the car finally reached the Hopkins family.
After making sure that his precious grandson was in good health, Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted, "I didn't ask you to come back so soon. You can return until tomorrow."
When Senior Mr. Hopkins had known that Patrick had taken his grandson away, he had been so furious that he had almost planned to smash the cup.
Aware that it was Donald's birthday, Senior Mr. Hopkins finally understood the reason and reluctantly agreed the little boy to stay at the Dickens family for two days. At first, Senior Mr. Hopkins thought that Christina would bargain with him that they would come back later. To his surprise, they went back so quickly.
"The Dickens family was busy. We'll visit them next time." Patrick explained slowly. As Patrick called his men, he walked back to his study.
It seemed that Patrick had something urgent to deal with.
Looking at his grandson's cold look, Senior Mr. Hopkins turned to Christina. "What's wrong with the Dickens family? Do they need our help?"
If something really happened to his in-laws, Senior Mr. Hopkins would be glad to help, although someone had said that he wasn't always generous.
Watching Patrick who was entering the study hurriedly, Christina was confused as well. "I have no idea, either."
Senior Mr. Hopkins sighed. "You sleep with Patrick every day. Why can't you understand his thoughts? Why are you so stupid?"
Christina refuted, without keeping gentle. "You've raised him for decades. Why don't you know what he's thinking?"
With a smile on his face, Paul served them a plate of fruit and asked Charles to sit down and have tea. "Mr.Hopkins is missing you all day after you left. Haha..."
It is better to have a noisy family than to be estranged from each other with mere polite greetings.
At 11 pm, Patrick received a call from Donald in the study.
"I asked Christina's aunt to find the diary left by Christina's mother in the Eisenhower family's old house..."
"The old house has been deserted for a long time and the handwriting is unclear because of dampness." After all, time flew, and things had changed over time.
It had been a long time since anyone mentioned Mary and Donald had been bearing her in his mind, unwilling to talk about the past.
It was because Patrick unexpectedly mentioned Christina's biological father that Donald agreed to look for the diary, so as to see if anything about Christina's father had been recorded.
"It indeed is recorded that the man used to live on an island." Donald talked about his ex-wife's relationship history calmly.
Mary had still been young back then. At the time she had written the diary, she had been a young girl who had just fallen in love. Even her handwriting could tell how excited she had been and how much she had admired that man.
"According to her description, the island was isolated with good green plants and vegetation. It was not desolate at all. Instead, the buildings at the center of the island were modern, full of cars and private planes, as well as abundant mechanical weapons. It has been said that there had been many servants, most of whom were children who were sold by their poor parents working as fishermen. What's more, the facilities were well-developed..."
Donald could only use' her description' because Mary might be deceived by the man's hearsay. It was unknown whether Mary had really been to the island.
Was there really such a strange person who liked to live on islands?
Deep down, Donald believed that Mary had been deceived by the liar. If so, however, Mary should have changed her mind and gone back. But now, so many years later, Mary did not come back. Had she found the island and the man?
With the phone in his hand, Patrick listened carefully to Donald. The description in Mary's diary was exactly the same as the investigation completed by Patrick's men.
"Has the diary mentioned the location of the island?" Patrick asked with some concern.
"No."
Donald answered bluntly, suddenly became nervous, and asked, "Have you noticed that some strange people have been deliberately approaching Christina recently?"
"Maybe a few years ago, they might investigate Christina..." With mixed feelings, Donald was filled with guilt.
As a father, Donald was really negligent, even unable to notice whether his daughter had been followed up all these years. In the past, Donald hated Mary so much that he had totally ignored Christina.
"If the description is true, the man would not abandon his own child. It seems that he is powerful and low-profile, like a mystery." It was the reason why women, including Mary, had admired the man.
"If someone approaches Christina on purpose to take her blood sample or fingerprints, you have to be careful."
As a father, Donald had told Patrick everything he knew.
He was clear that he was incompetent to compete with others, but he still wanted to try to protect his daughter.
"Patrick, I beg you to take good care of my daughter." Finally, Donald begged Patrick in earnest.
It was like the time when Donald had asked Patrick to take care of his daughter Christina at the wedding ceremony.
"OK," Patrick agreed.
Donald was relieved to hear Patrick's promise.
The father was finally relieved to have an outstanding man like Patrick guarding his daughter.
Then, Patrick asked Donald to send him Mary's diary. He planned to ask his men to do some identification, in order to find more clues.
As long as the island really existed, Patrick had the confidence to figure it out.
