Chapter 1054
The night grew darker.
The door of the presidential suite was knocked on again.
This time, it was Ivan's door that opened, and Patrick walked in step by step.
It was already late at night, two o'clock in the morning.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, Patrick wouldn't have believed that someone could make a publicly traded company disappear overnight.
He had initially wanted to resist, but every minute, the Jenkins Group was losing ten million dollars.
At this point, the Jenkins Group was almost an empty shell. If this continued until sunrise, it would cease to exist, and every member of the Jenkins family would be in massive debt.
Ivan was typing on his laptop.
He looked up coldly, "Ms. Jenkins, please sit."
His attitude was polite and gentlemanly, but his actions were appalling.
Patrick didn't dare say much and sat down at a distance. He said, "Mr. Winston, do you want to know about Camilla?"
Ivan closed his laptop, "So, you're planning to confess?"
Patrick was silent.
Did he have any other choice now?
From the moment he learned about Camilla's identity until now, it hadn't even been half a day, and the Jenkins family had already faced retribution.
"Camilla was adopted by our family four years ago. We were on a beach vacation and found her lying motionless on the shore, so we brought her home."
Patrick's voice slowly echoed in the living room.
Ivan listened intently.
He had investigated for a long time and could only find information about Haley from the past three years, with one year missing in between.
He had used hacking techniques but still couldn't find anything.
He was planning to hire someone from the dark web to investigate thoroughly.
But if Patrick was willing to confess, there was no need to go through that trouble.
"She had been soaking in the seawater for five days, completely unconscious, so I took her to the hospital. It turned out she was pregnant. The baby was about a month old, but I can't remember the exact details."
"What did you say?" Ivan's pupils contracted sharply.
He grabbed Patrick's shoulder suddenly, "You said she was pregnant?"
Patrick felt as if his heart was being squeezed.
It was like his life was in Ivan's hands, ready to be crushed at any moment.
He nodded with difficulty, "Yes, the baby was about a month old. She was in a coma for a very long time, and the baby grew slowly inside her. But her body was too weak, sustained by IV fluids. The baby was underdeveloped and died shortly after birth."
Ivan's heart sank instantly.
He had just learned of the child's existence and hadn't had time to feel joy before being told that he had lost the child forever.
He closed his eyes in pain and said in a low voice, "Continue."
Patrick didn't dare to look at him, "During childbirth, Camilla had severe bleeding. The doctors performed emergency surgery and almost replaced all her blood to save her life."
Ivan's lips tightened.
With just a few words, he could already imagine how critical Haley's situation was at that time.
Severe bleeding during childbirth was not uncommon; many mothers experienced it. Given that Haley was in a coma, the chances of such complications were even higher.
Fortunately, she survived.
Suddenly, Ivan was stunned.
Total blood transfusion.
