Chapter 1217
When Brooke was sick and totally out of it, Fiona was already by Darwin's side.
Fiona knew Darwin was on high alert back then, whether it was about the people around him or those around the sick Brooke.
If Hubert showed up and revealed who he was, and Brooke didn't remember him at all, it could be really dangerous for Hubert.
"I promised Grandma Mitchell that if that day ever came, I'd do everything I could to stop Aiden's tragedy and my dad's regret from happening again. I'm being straight with you; everything I'm saying is true, Ms. Rhoads. You can verify it based on what I have told you." Hubert paused for a moment.
"If you need my dad's work recordings, I can get them for you," he added.
Fiona looked him over.
"We need to hurry, don't we?" Hubert said.
Fiona's eyes darkened.
"You suddenly brought me here to meet. I guess Mr. Solomon's condition is bad, or maybe it's so bad that even you can't stay calm, right?" Being a psychology researcher, Hubert could tell.
A person's body language and tiny expressions gave away their current mental state.
So, Darwin's situation wasn't that hard to figure out.
After Hubert finished talking, he stayed quiet.
He sat there, waiting for Fiona to speak.
It concerned Darwin's safety.
No matter how honest Hubert sounded, Fiona couldn't just take his word for it.
She sat there and quickly sent a message to Kenny.
Not long after, Kenny replied: [Fiona, I just confirmed that all the investment records of Mr. Graham's research institute over the past fifteen years include six big investments from a company called SilverOak Financial Group. Following the trail of SilverOak Financial Group, it turns out that it's an investment company controlled by Brooke, and so far, it has only invested research funds in Mr. Graham's institute.]
Fiona pressed her lips tightly.
The heavy weight in her heart dropped with a crash, followed by a wave of exhaustion washing over her.
She forced herself to stay strong.
At that moment, Kenny sent another message: [Fiona, Hubert is trustworthy.]
Fiona's eyes stung a bit.
She looked up at Hubert.
"You're right," Fiona said calmly, "Darwin's condition is really bad. The day after I met you, I found out he was having hallucinations he couldn't tell apart from reality."
"What kind of hallucinations?" Hubert immediately sat up straighter and asked seriously.
"A child," Fiona replied, "As far as I know, it was a hallucination that appeared when we were in North Alabama in the summer, accompanying my friend during childbirth. A hallucination of a child named Aiden, who had a similar childhood experience to his."
Hubert's expression changed slightly.
