Chapter 655 Why She Would Die If She Didn’t Have Children!
Nora stared hard at Old Maddy to look at his reaction after she voiced the question.
She would never trust a person’s words that easily, so she wanted to determine whether he was telling the truth through his reaction.
What she didn’t expect, though, was that because of the burns on Old Maddy’s face, he couldn’t make any facial expressions. Even his eyes were too small for her to see anything. This made him hard to read.
Old Maddy kept quiet for a while. Suddenly, he asked, “Twins? Triplets? What are you talking about? Didn’t you only give birth to a daughter?”
In Old Maddy’s impression, the daughter of the lady he served had returned and gave birth to a daughter.
How could it have been twins or triplets instead?
Seeing how logical his answer was, Nora frowned. “Uncle…”
“I’m not worthy of having you call me that.” Old Maddy interrupted her and said, “My name is Jake Reed. I am your mother’s subordinate, and you are the young lady whom I now serve.”
Seeing that he had brought up her mother again, Nora asked, “What on earth happened back then?”
Old Maddy heaved a sigh. “Your mother was tricked into doing human research by a mysterious organization back then. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly ran away from the organization. However, that organization was simply too powerful. In order to avoid implicating your father, your mother staged an elopement and made everyone think that she had betrayed your father. Then, she left New York and went to a small town in California. At that time, she only took me with her.”
Old Maddy’s explanation was simple, but it matched the story that Nora had previously heard.
“And then?” She asked.
“Then, your mother found someone with the last name Smith-Henry Smith, I think-and pretended to marry him. The two of them then lived in secret in California. Do you know why she went to Henry?”
Nora had a guess, but she didn’t say it.
