“What?” Abel goggled at him in shock. Sophia actually has a twin brother? It means that Cooper actually has a son! His daughter is already such an incredible person with unusual talent; his son might even be better to the point of amazing the whole world!
Michael explained calmly, “I sent some men over to investigate my mother-in-law’s life before she died, thinking that we’d be able to find some clues about Cooper. I noticed that she was very close with a nurse in the hospital where she stayed while waiting to deliver her baby before she died.
Later on, I found out that my mother-in-law was pregnant with fraternal twins back then. There was another boy who had been taken away by that nurse after he was born. The nurse gave the boy to her distant relatives who were infertile. After that, the couple went overseas and cut all contact with the nurse.”
It wasn’t clear whether the nurse did that because she felt sorry for the boy since she knew he would probably be used as a pawn by the Johnson Family to blackmail Joe after he was born or if she did that for her own personal gain.
Abel stopped what he was doing too.
The Coopers’ genes were simply incredible; it was amazing enough to have one Sophia around. Supposedly, that boy grew up in a rather wealthy environment complete with the basic necessities since he had been adopted by a highly educated family.
He must’ve been well-educated and nurtured in a sophisticated way by his adoptive parents since young. In that case, he would definitely be a lot more incredible than Sophia! If Cooper didn’t appear, the Mitchell Family would probably have another two Coopers!
“Have you told Sophia?”
“No, I haven’t. I want to wait until I find him first before I tell her; I don’t want to repeat the same mistake I did last time.”
After busying himself the entire day and night, Michael went back to his room to take a nap. He still needed to visit Sophia at the hospital in the afternoon.
Abel volunteered himself bravely to accept the mission of finding Cooper’s missing son.
Michael woke up in the afternoon after a refreshing nap. After settling several other matters, he went out again and headed toward the hospital.
Much to his surprise, his wife had disappeared only after a short while. The hospital staff informed him that Sophia had been taken away by a bunch of troops.
Before Michael could ask the staff what kind of troops they were, Old Master Fletcher called him. The old man immediately scolded him furiously as soon as he answered the call.
“I’m confiscating the young girl. From now on, she’ll stay with me! Look at what you’ve done!” Click! Old Master Fletcher hung up the phone directly without considering Michael’s feelings—he didn’t even listen to Michael’s explanation.
Michael shook his head. As he expected, Old Master Fletcher still liked Cooper the best!
However, the nursing home in the military compound was rather a great place to stay. The medical facilities there were well-equipped and safe. Hence, Michael thought it would be good to let her stay in the nursing home for a while.
However, nobody even told him about it when such a big matter like his wife being taken away had happened. It seemed like there were some betrayers around him—Nathan, to be exact.
Michael had been quite busy recently, so he used film masks whenever he could while filming on set; he didn’t even have the time to visit Sophia at the hospital.
He initially thought that it would be very safe for Sophia to stay in Old Master Fletcher’s place, but he never expected that Old Master Fletcher would do something which caused him to blow his top.
Sophia had been taken away by Old Master Fletcher to the nursing home in the military compound; the old man and Woody came to visit her when they passed by daily, and Nathan had also been staying at Old Master Fletcher’s place too. He went to the hospital in the morning and left at night every day.
The nursing home was located within the military compound. Ever since Michael left the Fletcher Family, he never went into the military compound again.
So, it was certain that he would not come to visit her at the hospital. After taking a few days of rest in the nursing home, Sophia video-called Michael.
It seemed like Michael was abroad at the moment; he appeared tan with a visible sunburn. He wore heavily-torn clothes which appeared to be his costume, and his face was covered in traces of blood and some dirt. His entire face looked really miserable with all the blood, dirt and sweat blended together. Evidently, his makeup looked extremely realistic.
“Where are you?” Sophia studied the background in the video curiously.
Michael replied, “I’m filming in Africa.”
Wow, my Lord is really professional. It must not be easy filming at a place like Africa! His costume and makeup look very realistic too!
