Elianna asked insistently, "What made you conclude, based on what you said on the phone, that Sofia may not be the Carrington family's daughter?"
Tristian said, "I asked the dean, and he personally retrieved the cremation records from that year. You see, even if a baby is born and dies shortly after, they still have the right to life and a death certificate needs to be issued. Moreover, obtaining cremation records is not something that can be done casually. This indicates that at that time, the other daughter born to the mother was indeed sent for cremation."
Elianna frowned and said, "Could it be that the hospital made a mistake? What if the objects for cremation were incorrect, and the records were also incorrect? In any case, that maternity hospital had very outdated medical conditions, so perhaps some program errors could have occurred as well."
Otherwise, it is inexplicable that the DNA paternity test between Sofia and Zack was successful.

Elianna asked cautiously, "Are you sure?"Alissa said confidently, "I was a nurse, Ms. Carrington, don't speculate with these conspiracy theories, it's a blasphemy to my career!"Elianna and Tristian exchanged a glance.Tristian shook his head.Elianna understood it instantly, looked at Alissa, and smiled, saying, "Ms. Lancaster, I'm sorry..."Tristian casually took out a bulging envelope from his briefcase and gently placed it on the table.At a glance, there was approximately around 50,000 in cash.Alissa was shocked and exclaimed, "Mr. Carrington, what is this?"Tristian said, "Ms. Lancaster, I apologize for intruding and disturbing you. This money is a small token of our appreciation."Alissa hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked over and picked up the envelope to return it to Tristian. "Mr. Carrington, you shouldn't do this. I can't accept this money. As they say, no work, no pay. I haven't done anything, so h
Elianna looked into the rearview mirror.The rear passenger window of the car was rolled down, and another man wearing the same style duckbill cap leaned out halfway, holding a gun in his hand and continuously shooting at Elianna's car!Oh no!There was more than one killer!Elianna broke out in a cold sweat.Her hands fumbled aimlessly on the driver's seat.When she got in the car, she casually placed her bag on the passenger seat.Her phone was not connected to the Bluetooth in the car, so she couldn't make an emergency call through voice.While Elianna was paying attention to the road ahead, she reached into her handbag and rummaged around until she found her phone. She was about to dial a number!"Bang!"She was momentarily distracted, and the front of the car suddenly crashed into the guardrail. While driving at high speed, the car instantly broke through the guardrail and plunged into the green belt, about t
The man was taken aback for a moment when he saw Joseph.He cautiously reached his hand towards his lower back, gripping the gun and slowly hiding it behind him. At the same time, he stared at Joseph with vigilance, but he pulled the corner of his lips and pretended to ask casually, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"Joseph couldn't be bothered to deal with him any longer, and simply said expressionlessly, "Let him go."The smile on the man's face froze instantly at the corner of his mouth.Joseph, "Didn't you understand? Then I'll repeat it a second time."He paused for a moment and then said slowly, "Let... go."The man's tone suddenly turned cold, but he maintained a fake smile and said, "Who are you letting in?"Joseph, "Don't play dumb with me, I'm not falling for this."In the car, the man sitting in the passenger seat saw that something was wrong and grabbed the earpiece, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do it
Elianna tightly guarded her wrist, and with every jolt of the vehicle, her body trembled and the place where her wrist joint had broken would throb with intense pain.She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and only tiny beads of sweat kept dripping down."I didn't know..."Elianna shook her head and said, "I don't know who my older brother offended... These people... They are exceptionally ruthless. They dare to shoot even on a crowded street in broad daylight."Although she didn't understand why Joseph was "tracking" her.But if he hadn't shown up in time...I'm afraid she was really unlucky.Joseph said, "Next, you listen to me. Lie down on your stomach."Although the window was made of bulletproof glass, there was still a risk of it being shattered.Elianna immediately lowered her body.Joseph raised the headrest, blocking the back of his neck and head, to prevent the car window from being shattered b
Elianna only felt that her whole body was in pain, but she couldn't distinguish where it hurt the most or where it hurt more.At the critical moment, Joseph protected her and endured the maximum impact, losing consciousness.She raised her hand and cupped his face.He seemed to have briefly fainted, with fresh blood streaming down his forehead, staining his eyes and extending to his neck."Joseph..."She gently patted his face.The man remained unconscious."Joseph... wake up..."Did he die?Her gaze turned towards the window.The burnt taste became even more pronounced.Her intact leg was pinned beneath him, while the other leg, which had been shot, could hardly muster any strength.He was so heavy, pressing on her legs, she couldn't pull him off. If he didn't wake up, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to climb out of the carriage on her own.The fuel tank caught fire and could explode at a
When Elianna woke up, she had just been pushed out of the operating room.After receiving emergency blood transfusion, her consciousness finally regained some clarity.After leaving the operating room, she was transferred to a regular ward.Because the medical treatment was timely, there was no excessive blood loss.She lay in the ward for over half an hour, and the nurse kept watch over her, not allowing her to sleep.Another half an hour had passed.She heard the sound of nervous footsteps coming from outside the door.The next second, the door was carefully pushed open.Elianna heard Tristian's voice, "Is this the ward?""...""Okay, thank you."He pushed open the door and saw Elianna lying on the hospital bed, dressed in a patient gown, her face looking somewhat weak."Nannan..."He rushed into the ward, threw himself in front of the bed, and tenderly held her face, asking, "How are you...
The nurse was terrified by Joseph's sinister gaze, and she explained in a panic, "I'm sorry, sir... I see that you have suffered such serious injuries, it is really difficult for you to be discharged at this time... And, it's so late, there is no way to process the discharge procedures..."Joseph turned around and walked away in frustration.The nurse ran behind, chasing after him, "Sir... Sir!"In the ward, Elianna keenly heard the commotion coming from outside the door.She glanced out of the window and whispered to Tristian, "Joseph is outside the door."Tristian immediately got up, walked to the door, glanced and saw Joseph's figure in the distance. He immediately called out, "Joseph!"Joseph paused for a moment, tilted his head slightly, but did not turn around.Tristian closed the ward door and chased after him, until he was only two meters away from him, he stopped and stood still, "Why did you appear in Dukeshire?"Jose
The next afternoon.The ambulance of the First Hospital of Bryston arrived at the entrance.Elianna was awakened by Tristian and went through the process of transferring to another hospital.In the evening of that day.The transport vehicle arrived at the First Hospital of Bryston.Elianna was taken to the intensive care unit.Rigoberto and Tyson had been waiting at the hospital for a long time.As soon as Rigoberto saw Elianna, he noticed her lying on a stretcher, from a distance he saw her hand tightly fixed in a cast, then he saw the blood-stained bandage on her leg, and the various tubes wrapped around her body. He felt heartbroken, "My dear..."The doctor and nurse walked in and performed a check-up on Elianna, drawing five tubes of blood before leaving the ward.Tristian completed the procedures and returned to the ward. As soon as Rigoberto saw him, he immediately walked over and said, "Tristian, what on earth hap
Leonard immediately let go of Joseph and walked over, saying, "Elianna, are you awake?"She didn't know when she woke up, nor how much of the conversation between the two people she had overheard.Elianna rubbed her temples, clearly feeling a bit of a headache.She instinctively pulled the thin blanket closer to her body, took a brief rest, and the alcohol seemed to sober her up a bit. Naturally, she also realized how disheveled she was at the moment.Elianna knowingly asked, "Was I drunk?"Even if she drank until she was completely drunk, she wouldn't black out. Therefore, as she woke up, she gradually began to recall that she had been drinking and afterwards, she became crazy drunk.Joseph said expressionlessly, "Yes, you were drunk. Originally, I intended to arrange a designated driver to take you home, but who knew your alcohol tolerance was so disappointing. You went crazy at my house and..."He also vomited all over him.
The butler, seeing the situation, immediately rushed over and reached out to stop him, saying, "Mr. Leonard, please wait!"Leonard suddenly angrily waved away the hand he extended, saying, "Get lost!"The butler was dismissed to the side.Leonard climbed up the stairs.Joseph hesitated for a moment and then followed closely behind, going upstairs.Second floor.Leonard saw the servant just coming out of a room, without thinking, he immediately walked over. The servant, seeing this, became somewhat alarmed and asked, "Who are you?"Leonard casually pushed her aside and pushed the door wide open.In the guest room.Elianna was lying in bed, covered with a blanket.Leonard walked over and saw that she was fast asleep, completely unconscious. He furrowed his brows slightly and reached out his hand, intending to lift the blanket.The next secondBehind him, a hand reached out and tightly grabbed his wrist
Joseph carried Elianna into the door.In his arms.Elianna, on the other hand, kept looking up at him with her face raised.Suddenly,She said proudly, "My son grew up and turned out to be so handsome!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "However, my son was the cutest when he was little!"Joseph, "..."Elianna, "Baby, be good and let mommy give you a kiss quickly."She hooked his shoulders, cradled his face, and kissed him over and over again.Joseph suppressed the anger that filled his chest, but had nowhere to vent it.He was still doubting why she wanted to recognize Zack as her godson and what her true purpose was.Or perhaps, it was just another means for her to get close to him.Was she really drunk and talking nonsense, or was she pretending to be drunk to take advantage of him?If he was really drunk, what could he argue with a drunk woman for?A south-facing room on the second floo
Joseph furrowed his brows.He saw her tongue starting to knot, her eyes wide open but looking misty.Joseph said with a headache, "Sit down and don't move for now."He had just grabbed her shoulders and forcefully made her sit down, but the next second, she "sprang" up again, saying, "I want to go home!"Joseph interrupted her, "I will take you home!"He grabbed her hand and pulled her up.Elianna stumbled and took two steps, her balance wavering as her body leaned backwards.Joseph walked over and grabbed her waist, coldly saying, "Can you walk properly?"Without giving Elianna a chance to answer, he bent his right arm from her waist side and hoisted her onto his shoulder."What were you doing..."The man's strong shoulders were just pressing against her abdomen.Elianna drank alcohol and just finished eating pastas, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Her stomach was being tightly pressed, and she felt a wave of
Elianna asked, "Is the pastas done?"Joseph resealed the wine and said, "Finish your meal quickly, I will have someone take you home.""Oh!"Elianna stood up, and in that moment, her blood flowed and she felt a slight stumble beneath her feet, her body even swaying, as if she was floating lightly.Oh no...She seemed a little tipsy.That's how high-concentration brandy was.She was clearly drinking very slowly, and even added ice cubes to dilute it, but... she had already started to get tipsy.Joseph saw that she was a little unsteady and reached out his hand to support her. "Are you drunk?"Elianna pulled away from his hand, clearly repulsed by his touch. "No! I wasn't drunk."Joseph withdrew his hand and stared at her incredulously.Elianna concealed her drunken state, barely maintaining her balance as she walked towards the dining table. Upon seeing the bowl of pastas placed on the table, she approached
Elvis looked at Joseph awkwardly.Joseph said, "I could only make plain pastas."Elianna said, "Then thank you for your trouble."After speaking, she sat down on the sofa.Joseph said to Elvis, "You go first."Elvis said, "Mr. Kensington, do you need me to lend a hand?"Joseph said, "No need."It's just a bowl of assorted vegetarian pastas, without many complicated steps, just takes some time.What is this called? It is easy to ask for the gods, but difficult to send them away.The "god" he had invited could only be sent away by himself.He could certainly tell that Elianna was deliberately giving him a hard time, but since she had helped him pacify his son, it was also a favor he owed her.Elvis smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go back first. If you have any instructions, feel free to call and contact me anytime."Joseph, "You haven't rested much these past few days, go back and get some sleep early.
Zack said, "Only when Owen and I turn eight years old, can we apply to live with Mommy and Judge Uncle, in order to let that man know the truth?"Elianna nodded, "Yes."Zack nodded hesitantly.Elianna helped him lie back on the bed and gently said, "Once we've eaten, shall we have a good sleep?"Zack became nervous and asked, "Mommy, are you leaving?"Elianna said, "I promised you that you could see me anytime you wanted."Zack's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and delight, "Really?"Elianna, "Really, Mommy promised you."After speaking, she extended her hand and said, "High five."Zack and she high-fived, and then closed their eyes in peace.Elianna didn't stand up and walk out of the door until he fell asleep.Joseph stood at the door.Elianna's heart skipped a beat as she thought Joseph should be downstairs, but suddenly he appeared upstairs out of nowhere. She had no idea how well the door insul
Zack suddenly burst into silly laughter, opened his mouth, wanting to shout "Mommy". However, he didn't have enough strength to even speak, and could only weakly say, "I want to go home..."Elianna's heart trembled for a moment, feeling inexplicably melancholic.On the side, two doctors smiled helplessly and said, "little scion, you are already at home now..."They only thought that the child was extremely hungry, confused in the mind, and started speaking nonsense.Only Elianna could understand which "home" the little one was referring to.Elianna coaxed, "Would you like to eat something?"She saw a bowl of nutritious porridge on the bedside table.I was so hungry that it caused me to be unable to eat properly now, I can only drink a little nutritional porridge.It seems that this time he was determined to sever the father-son relationship with Joseph.Maybe because he had been fasting for a long time, the little guy ha
Elianna suddenly became serious and said, "Well, you shouldn't say such hurtful words either."Owen lowered his head and said in a pitiful tone, "Mommy, I know I was wrong! Next time I see him, I will definitely apologize to him."Elianna patted his little head and said, "You were brothers, good friends, so you couldn't hurt his feelings."Owen nodded obediently, "Mommy, don't worry, I know now! I will never hurt his heart again in the future."Elianna gently embraced him.Owen nestled in her arms and asked, "So... when did that guy come back?"Elianna worriedly said, "I don't know..."She didn't know when they would be able to reunite as mother and son again after this separation.Tristian said, "Nannan, don't overthink so much and rest early."Elianna nodded.The next day.Elianna took Owen back to the Carrington Group.Three days later.She had just left the company and was about to go home
