Ceres did not fall asleep and stared at Johny's face all night.
Looking at the man, she remembered the first time she had seen him after arriving in Evian Town.
She realized he was awake when she sponged his body, massaged him, and even crawled into his bed on rainy nights!
She thought about all the past with the "bodyguard" as if it happened yesterday.
As her medicine was taken away by the bodyguard, she always felt sorry for him, but she didn't expect that everything was designed by him!
Her heart was violently paining.
She trusts him completely. She regarded him as a belief so that she would believe everything he said, but in the end, she found that everything about him was not real.
Being tricked, she felt so stupid.
She was fooled by a man!
It was said that women in love were stupid, but Ceres always thought she was a smart person, but when did she become so stupid?
She probably became that way when she fell in love with him.
Johny got up and looked at her, while she continued to pretend to sleep.
He brushed her tousled fringe and kissed her forehead, thinking the matter would soon be settled.
Then he got up quietly and even went to another bathroom to wash up for fear of waking her up.
When he left, she just sat up. She wanted to question him, but she was afraid of getting an answer she couldn't accept.
Johny went to the company to find Ceres's real father. According to Sally, that man should be a powerful person or a rich person.
But the clues Sally provided are too broad and vague because there are too many rich people.
Sitting opposite Johny, Bob shook his head and said, "Johny, this is too difficult. We only know that there is a car, but not its model and number plate. And we just know it's a very luxurious hotel but not its name. As there are so many people in the center of City M, where should we look for him? If he was just a passer-by, we'd have to search the whole country, wouldn't we?"
For the first time, Bob found the investigation so difficult.
"Take your time. Let's investigate City M first. I'll ask Sally to recall more details." said Johny.
Bob saw Johny was energetic, so he had to cheer himself up too. He said, "Johny, I don't think it's necessary to find that person. Why bother like this? We just need to know that George is not Ceres's real father. Besides, her real father probably doesn't want to know about her. Maybe he already has a family and doesn't want to have an illegitimate child. You know what I mean."
If the man was very rich, as Sally said, he must come from a wealthy family.
While there was much strife in a wealthy family, and an illegitimate child would upset its balance.
Bob thought Johny did not expect Ceres to compete for her real father's property, so they did not need to find that person.
"No, we must find him! And he must know about Ceres too!"
Johny said with unwavering eyes, determined that he must help Ceres find her real father.
He knew that the closest person to Ceres over the years was George, but if she was told the truth that George was not her real father, she might not be able to accept it. However, if her real father was found out, the situation would be different.
"Well, I'll try again," Bob caved in.
"Ok, hurry up," replied Johny.
Bob nodded and went out.
