Chapter 389
Mick started to panic right then–why was Isaac showing up here, and with Layla at that?
Seizing the moment as Mick let his guard down, Irene rushed to Isaac’s side and told him quietly, “That woman is Yvaine Lynd.”
She knew that she just had to say her name, and Isaac would understand.
Isaac lowered his gaze at her, surprised that she would say something like that.
She knew that he was investigating Layla?
However, now was not the time for the questions–he was here because James Cross had tracked Layla to this hospital. After running into her on the walkway, they followed her here.
On the other hand, Mick was paranoid that Isaac had come to take Layla away, and kept her behind his back while glaring at Isaac warily. “What do you want?”
Irene was just about to speak when Isaac raised a hand to stop her, while gesturing for James to pass the DNA test results from before to Mick.
“What’s this?” Mick was clearly reluctant to take it, let alone look.
James shoved it at him again, “You’ll understand when you read it. Even if you stayed abroad, the Gooding family of Sunny City is still more or less a dynasty–it’s not that hard to track you down.”
“What…”
They found him already? How did they do it so quickly?!
What on earth was going on here?!
Mick then turned toward Irene. “You told him?!”
“You were keeping me here,” Irene countered. “And I wouldn’t even have the time.”
She knew that in truth, Isaac had already been investigating Layla.
James appeared to hold contempt for Mick’s behavior. Pointing at the DNA test results, he said, “You’d better read that.”
Mick had a foreboding feeling just then, and read it, stumbling backward when he saw that it was a DNA test.
Layla quickly rushed to his side, holding him up. “What’s wrong, Mick?”
Mick’s face was pale even as he stiffened and kept reading, and he saw that the test confirmed Layla and Isaac were mother and child.
His fingers loosened, and the papers drifted down the floor.
When Layla reached for it, Mick quickly picked them up and tore everything into pieces. “Lies. All lies.”
