Chapter 370 Exchanging Information
Niamh noted which foods and fruits were mutually beneficial or harmful and which combinations could damage the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Of course, eating a small amount wouldn't have any effect, but eating a lot could cause poisoning.
If consumed over a long period, it silently harms one's health, and even doctors cannot find the cause.
Niamh circled a dish with a red pen. Tomorrow, she planned to make this dish of duck with bayberries to show her filial piety as a good daughter.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap in the sky, a dry thunder that didn't bring rain.
Niamh looked up at the window, her sinister expression reflected in the glass, eerie and terrifying.
Ophelia was sitting on the bed, listening to music. It was prenatal education.
Finnegan came back at eleven at night. Ophelia lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at him. "Did you drink?"
"A little." Finnegan habitually walked over to Ophelia and first greeted the baby in her belly. "Hey, little one."
"Today, I met a little boy who said the baby in my belly is a little sister." Ophelia smiled. "They say children's words are very prophetic. I think it's a girl."
"If it's really a girl, that would be wonderful." Finnegan's eyes were full of joy. "If it's a girl, let's name her Joy."
Ophelia laughed. Seeing Finnegan smile made her feel much better. She couldn't help but cup his face with her hands and rub it. "You look so good when you smile, Finnegan. I love your smile."
She couldn't imagine Finnegan cutting off Niamh's fingers. She had only heard about it from Caspian and also heard that there was a golden python in the North Gate Villa.
At that moment, she realized that Finnegan only acted like a lamb in front of her. In front of others, he was a ruthless wolf.
Finnegan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes full of tenderness. "Then I'll smile for you more often."
Ophelia rubbed his face again, enjoying the feel of it. "I went to the Parks Family today and also visited the orphanage. There's something I haven't told you."
"What is it? Tell me. I'm listening." Finnegan had always known that Ophelia had something on her mind. Last time, when she deliberately sent him away and went out with Dovie alone, he knew.
Ophelia hesitated and said, "I might be Natalie's daughter. Natalie is looking for her daughter. She went to the orphanage where I grew up. Magnus also told me that Natalie is my biological mother. Today, I went to confirm it. But."
"But what?" Finnegan listened patiently.
"Natalie doesn't want to acknowledge me." Ophelia said. "I feel like something's off. Natalie went to find me but didn't acknowledge me. So, what was she verifying at the orphanage? Maybe Natalie is looking for someone, but not necessarily her daughter. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Finnegan chuckled. "I understand. I don't think you're Natalie's daughter."
"Why?" Ophelia was puzzled. "Why weren't you surprised just now?"
"I don't think you look like Natalie. You don't have a mother-daughter resemblance." Finnegan grabbed Ophelia's hand. "I was a bit surprised, but maybe I didn't show it."
Ophelia rolled her eyes. "You didn't look surprised at all."
Finnegan laughed. "Should I show it more clearly?"
With that, Finnegan made an exaggeratedly surprised face, making Ophelia laugh.
Ophelia said, "That's too fake. I went to the Parks Family today and deliberately hinted to Dovie that I'm looking for my biological parents. Let's see how Natalie reacts and what she does. She should come to me in the next few days."
"I have some news for you, too." Finnegan said. "Someone sent a video of Sybil's murder. The driver is blurry, so we can't confirm if it's Niamh. But it's a good sign. Someone is getting restless."
"You mean the person who covered for Niamh is getting anxious?" Ophelia was surprised. "Niamh wouldn't send a video to provoke you. Landon is still investigating this case, but he's stuck without evidence. If there's a video, could it be a breakthrough?"
"Let's wait and see. Now it's a matter of who loses patience first." Finnegan touched Ophelia's belly. "I'm just looking forward to the baby's arrival. Little one, be good. I hope you look more like your mom."
