Chapter 166
“Is Miss Milton your biological child?” asked Roy.
Mandy’s parents were both stunned, then looked at each other with disbelief. They clearly hadn’t expected Roy to ask such a question.
Mr. Milton was the first to respond, “To be honest, Mandy is not our biological child. My wife and I haven’t had children all these years. It was probably when Mandy was three years old. When we went out, we saw her crying alone in the neighborhood, with no one around.”
This happened many years ago, and after Mandy was brought back at the age of three, she had a serious illness. She didn’t remember anything before she was three.
The couple completed the adoption paperwork and adopted Mandy, always treating her as their own child.
“May I ask how you figured it out?” Mr. Milton asked.
Roy thought of Jessica and Chris’s suspicions. He didn’t expect the two of them to be right about Mandy’s identity.
He said, “According to genetics, both of you have monolids. Miss Milton couldn’t naturally have double eyelids. Of course, girls like to be pretty and might have cosmetic surgery, but hers looks very natural. I don’t think she got them from surgeries.”
This was a very scientific perspective. There was nothing Mr. and Mrs. Milton could argue with.
“All these years, Mandy always thought she was your biological child. Has no one ever come looking for her?”
“My wife and I made some money later and moved out of the old neighborhood to here. The previous neighborhood was in Tenalit, quite far from here. Also… before we completed the adoption, I spent a whole year taking Mandy to look for her family, but there was no trace.”
So many years had passed, and they already treated Mandy as their own child, sometimes even forgetting she was adopted.
The neighbors had all changed, and no one knew about Mandy’s true relationship with them.
Since that was the case, the possibility that Mandy was Collin’s sister increased a little.
Could it be that fate connected these people together somehow?
If Mandy hadn’t been involved in the Aitairy case, they might never have found her. No matter how hard Collin searched, he wouldn’t find a sister with no memories.
Roy sent a message to Chris. “It’s been confirmed. Mandy was adopted. They completed the adoption
1/2
paperwork. They had seen Mandy near Tenalit when she was about three, alone with no one around, fitting the abandonment situation.”
Chris. “Good. Try to get a hair from Mandy. I want to do a paternity test.”
Roy. “Okay.”
Putting away his phone, Roy said to Mandy’s father, “We may need a hair from Miss Milton. I hope you
don’t mind.”
“Sure.”
Getting Collin’s hair was quite easy. In a few days, there would be a joint meeting where Collin and Jaden represented Hurricane Media, and Jessica would attend with Chris.
In the dressing room, Collin was adjusting his collar.
“You don’t look very well. Been staying up late doing surgeries recently?” Collin glanced at Chris through
the mirror.
Chris nodded. “There’s a tricky patient transferred from another state. I just finished the second surgery
today, and there might be more.”
“You’re already the honorary chairman, yet you still schedule so many surgeries. Aren’t you worried
about being overwhelmed?”
“I still prefer being on the operating table. Francesca handles hospital affairs for me.”
