Chapter 933 Does She Have a True Heart?
"Keep digging deeper and see if you can uncover any hidden truths."
The assistant nodded, "What about Ms. Miller?"
"As long as she's safe, let's not get involved. If she needs help, she'll reach out."
Bob knew Sarah wanted to keep her distance and wouldn't accept his help. Pushing her would only backfire.
'Sarah...When will you see that the guy you're with can't even give you the basics of stability and happiness? What right does he have to be with you?' Bob thought.
Seeing Bob had no more instructions, the assistant quietly left.
Maybe the car noise was too loud, because suddenly, the baby in the room started crying, loud enough to give everyone a headache.
Bob frowned and looked around. The nanny was nowhere to be seen, and his mom wasn't home either.
He sighed and got up to walk to the nursery. The closer he got, the louder the crying became.
To ensure the baby's health, Una had hired the best pediatrician in the city, sparing no expense for extra care and attention. And it seemed to be paying off. After a few days, the crying had become much louder.
Bob took a deep breath and, for the first time, called out the nickname Una had given the baby, "Nia."
She was still crying.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, looked around, and found a toy rattle. He picked it up and shook it, making a jingling sound.
Nia paused her crying for a moment, then continued.
Bob looked at her tear-streaked face and drool-covered pink mouth, feeling both amused and helpless. He kept shaking the toy to soothe her.
His gaze never left the little girl's face, and he realized that, despite her small frame, she had become much more beautiful than when she first arrived. Her skin was fair and delicate, her double eyelids prominent, and her features were becoming more refined.
She looked like... Sarah?
Bob's hand froze, startled by his own thought. But once certain ideas take root, they start to grow uncontrollably.
He stared at the little face in front of him, the more he looked, the more he felt she resembled Sarah—the small, plump lips, especially the expression in her eyes—
Or maybe it was just a gut feeling.
This child... The timing matched Sarah's baby!
The more Bob thought about it, the more shocked he became, yet he couldn't suppress a growing excitement!
Could it really be such a coincidence?!
He stayed in Nia's room for a long time that day, and the next day, he couldn't resist flying to Capital City to visit the Valencia Family.
Back when he was Sarah's assistant, he had gotten along well with the Valencia Family's kids.
As he approached the house, Bob saw Ryan sneaking out, looking around to make sure no one was watching before crouching in a corner of the garden and putting his smartwatch to his ear.
Ryan was indeed hiding from his family. He was so nervous that he didn't notice anyone outside.
"Okay... go ahead."
"Ryan..."
The voice on the other end was Lisa, who had been sent back to prison!
She was desperate and had pinned all her hopes on her biological son.
"I know I did a lot of wrong things before, but I've really learned my lesson now. I promise I'll change... So can you save me? I don't want to die!"
Ryan listened to her sobbing voice, his little brows furrowing.
"If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn't have done so many bad things in the first place!"
And now she expected him to save her?
He was just a kid!
Moreover, Ryan now knew that she had pretended to be Elara to get close to them, almost causing an irreparable misunderstanding between him and Mommy.
He hated her even more now!
Lisa hadn't expected him to say that. She paused before sobbing, "Mommy didn't mean to do those things! Can you believe me? Ryan... Even though Mommy lied to you, didn't you feel any of the good things I did for you when I was with the Valencia Family?"
Ryan bit his lip, not saying a word.
He didn't know how he felt right now.
After all... he had really liked Elara before.
Lisa didn't hear him speak and thought she had a chance. She continued to coax him, "Ryan... You don't really want to lose your real mommy, right? It doesn't matter if I die, but you're still so young. How could I bear it? It's actually very simple. You just need to go to your dad and mommy and plead for me..."
Every day was torture for her!
Just thinking about the impending death sentence filled her with despair!
"Please, can you help Mommy? When I get out, I'll apologize to them in person!"
Ryan listened to her crying and pleading, feeling no pity, only a growing sense of disappointment... Even now, she wanted to use him.
Were all the good things she did for him really fake?
"You..."
Ryan hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll come to see you. You can tell me whatever you want in person."
He wanted to ask her directly, whether as his biological mother or as Elara, if she had ever been sincere with him, or if it was all just manipulation.
Ryan had just hung up the phone when he suddenly remembered another problem.
He was just a kid; the prison wouldn't let him in.
But right now, only Sofia and some bodyguards were at home. If they found out he was going to see Lisa, they would definitely tell Dad and Mommy!
What should he do...
Just as Ryan was feeling troubled, Bob couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.
"Ryan."
The voice startled Ryan.
He turned around in surprise, "Mr. Morrison?"
"Yes, I heard your phone call. Are you planning to visit your biological mom in prison?"
Bob knew that Lisa had been captured in the northwest but had been sent back to Capital City for a public trial before the final verdict.
Ryan quickly grabbed his hand and crouched down by the flower bed, "Mr. Morrison, keep your voice down... I don't want them to hear about this. Can you keep it a secret?"
As he spoke, his expression became downcast and conflicted.
"I already know she's a bad person. I won't forgive her."
Bob reached out and tapped his nose, "Then why do you still want to see her?"
"Because..." Ryan looked up at him, then lowered his head again, finally speaking the truth, "I have two questions I want to ask her."
"And, after all, she gave birth to me. She'll definitely pin all her hopes on me. I need to tell her face-to-face, or if she keeps looking for me and Dad and Mommy find out... they'll be worried."
He had already done so many things to disappoint them before; this time, he wanted to handle it himself.
Bob knew this kid was always sensible, and hearing him say this, he couldn't help but feel moved.
"Alright, I promise you." He ruffled Ryan's hair, "Do you want me to go with you?"
