Chapter 673 Rescuing Patricia And Facing Rejection
Charles held up the rabbit necklace in front of the camera. "Is this what you're talking about?"
At the sight of the rabbit necklace, Kaleb couldn't hold back his tears any longer.
"That's the one; that's the one... It's the love token I gave Margaret because she's crazy about rabbits. I got her this rabbit necklace..."
There was no room for doubt.
Kaleb seen the photo.
Even the rabbit necklace had been found.
Only he and Margaret knew about the rabbit necklace.
Even if someone wanted to impersonate, they couldn't.
A man in his sixties cried like a child regardless of the occasion.
Martin and the others didn't know how to console him. They just stood quietly by his side, waiting for him to let it all out.
At that moment, Charles suddenly said again, "Oh, this seems to be Grandma's diary!"
After flipping through and finding the diary, Charles casually flipped through a couple of pages without carefully reading the contents inside due to privacy concerns.
Upon hearing this, Kaleb forgot to cry, raised his head abruptly, and looked at Charles on the phone screen. "Diary? Check the date. When did she start writing it?"
Charles glanced at the time above and replied, "This diary is very old, all yellowed inside, and many words have started to fade."
As he spoke, he looked at the top date, "It was written twenty-nine years ago! However, it wasn't written every day; there was a long break in between, and it resumed two years later."
"Twenty-nine years ago?"
Kaleb muttered to himself, calculating the time.
Twenty-nine years ago, wasn't that the year he met Margaret?
As Kaleb pondered, Charles rummaged through the drawer again and pulled out two more diaries, "Oh, there's more! I didn't expect Grandma to have the habit of writing diaries."
Kaleb wanted to say something, but Martin suddenly held his shoulder and said, "Keep the diaries safe! Make sure you don't lose them!"
Martin said to Kaleb, "There's a lot of content inside. You can read it slowly after things are resolved."
Just as he finished speaking, Charles said again, "I roughly looked through it. Almost every entry is about a man named Kaleb. Who is this man? Could it be our grandfather?"
At the mention of "grandfather," Kaleb's breath caught in his throat with excitement.
The diary recorded everything about him.
With tears in his eyes, Kaleb swallowed hard, his mouth opening and closing, wanting to say a thousand words but not knowing where to start.
Afraid that he might reveal too much and worry the children, Martin quickly said, "Alright, it's getting late. Have breakfast and hurry to school!"
Charles asked, "Dad, do you have anything else to do?"
Martin was about to answer when a deep, old voice sounded. "Charles, it's getting late. Hurry up, have breakfast, and go to school."
It was Shane's voice.
As expected, shortly after the voice fell, Shane's face appeared on the phone screen.
Kaleb immediately recognized the man in the photo, the one Margaret was arm-in-arm with.
He was Margaret's father?
Before Kaleb could even greet him, Shane looked at Martin on the screen. "Martin, how's your health? Are you feeling better? Where is Patricia?"
Martin didn't want them to worry, so he replied, "I'm much better! Patricia has something going on right now. When she's free, I'll have her call you."
Shane smiled warmly, "That's alright! I just wanted to check in on you guys. Take care of yourselves there. Give us a call when you're back on your feet."
Martin nodded. "Okay! You take care, too."
They exchanged a few more caring words before ending the call.
With a deluge of information hitting him all at once, Kaleb was still trying to process it all, standing there in a daze, murmuring to himself repeatedly, "Patricia is really my daughter... She's my daughter..."
"Patricia is really my daughter... she's my daughter..."
Sebastian urged. "Yes, she's your daughter! If you still don't believe it, you can do a DNA test."
Kaleb shook his head vigorously and said, "No. There is no need for a DNA test... I believe, I believe... with everything that has happened, if I still don't believe, then I've lived these many years in vain."
And the origin of Patricia's name.
The similarities between Patricia and Margaret.
The photos cherished by Margaret's father and Patricia.
Wasn't all of this telling him the truth?
Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you believe it, now we should find a way to rescue Patricia! Throughout the entire Country D, only you can save Patricia! Besides, you also know that Patricia is innocent! There are many doubts in this whole matter. We shouldn't jump to conclusions before fully understanding it."
This time, Kaleb almost didn't hesitate, decisively saying, "Let's go, let's find Joe. No matter what, I must rescue Patricia."
However, Sebastian stopped him, "You should go alone the first time! If all of us accompany you, not only will we not see Joe, but we might also make him misunderstand. It won't be helpful, and it might even backfire. Go and talk to him, explain the situation calmly. If he still refuses to release Patricia after you speak with him, then we'll go together next time."
He said, reminding him, "Remember, you must not argue with him; explain things calmly and gently! He just lost his son, he's still emotional, arguing won't help at all."
Understanding his intentions, Kaleb nodded. "Okay! You wait here! I'll go there myself now."
Sebastian nodded. "Alright! We'll wait here for your update."
Night had fallen, and the driver had finished his shift.
Kaleb called the driver to wake him up and drive him to the Hill family.
The Taylor family and the Hill family were close, just a few minutes away.
At this moment, the Hill family was pitch black.
The entire villa was shrouded in darkness, like a castle from a fairy tale, inexplicably adding a touch of gloom, sending shivers down one's spine.
As usual, the driver prepared to get out of the car to ring the doorbell, waiting for the door to open before letting Kaleb in.
However, Kaleb stopped him. "You wait here. I'll go in myself!"
Kaleb arrived at the Hill family door and rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang for a long time without anyone coming out.
Kaleb knew that Joe must have given orders to the family. Even if he broke his hand, the door wouldn't open.
Helpless, he took out his phone and called Joe.
But the answer he got was a mechanical female voice. "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
Perplexed, Kaleb wondered if Joe had blocked his number.
Unable to reach Joe by phone, Kaleb had to call Susan.
Once again, he was met with the same mechanical female voice.
This time, Kaleb was certain that both Joe and Susan had blocked him.
