After reaching an agreement, Ralph went home and shared the news with Wyatt and Mila.
Wyatt assumed that Mila was simply too anxious to see her son and had made a mistake, so he did not hold out much hope. However, Mila fell into a deep disappointment, and the emotional shock hit her hard.
Initially, she questioned everything intensely, but eventually, she had no choice but to accept reality. She collapsed onto the bed and remained there for three or four days.
It was not until Bella returned home that Mila gathered enough strength to get up and ask again, “Bella... Are you sure it isn’t Hugh? Are you really sure?”
Her eyes were filled with tears. The usually graceful and youthful-looking woman had become dejected in just a few days, appearing several years older.
“Aunt Mila, I understand how you feel. I wish just as much as you do that Hugh was still alive.” Bella’s voice choked with emotion as she held Mila’s cold hand tightly. “But unfortunately, that person isn’t Hugh. He just looks very much like him.”
Mila closed her eyes in utter disappointment and shook her head in pain. “Bella, you might think I’m being ridiculous, but ever since Hugh’s plane crash, I’ve often dreamed of him over the years. I have this constant feeling... I always believe... Hugh is still alive somewhere in this world, quietly living... He just can’t find his way home...”
“Aunt Mila...” Bella almost burst into tears but managed to hold back.
Blood was indeed thicker than water. A mother and child shared an instinctive, unbreakable connection that went deeper than words could describe.
“Nevermind. Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Mila made an effort to pull herself together, gently wiping away her tears with a handkerchief before calmly instructing a maid, “Prepare a set of low-profile clothes for me, and have the driver get the car ready.”
After the maid left, Bella asked with concern, “Aunt Mila, where are you going?”
Mila’s gaze was cold. “I’m going to Hatchbay Prison.”
Bella was stunned. Slowly she asked, “Are you going to visit Uncle Alvin?”
“Yes. I heard that Justin’s condition is due to some inexplicable drug that damaged his brain. Alvin is an expert in biopharmaceuticals. I want to ask him if there’s any solution.”
Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became energetic. “Aunt Mila, if you don’t mind, I’d like to go with you!”
...
Over an hour had passed before Bella and Mila arrived at Hatchbay Prison.
