Chapter 290
After all, Yvette had been in a relationship with lan back then.
On top of that, he even stayed single for life because of her, so everyone naturally brought lan into the picture.
They completely didn't notice that lan had said just now that she was a daughter of the Smiths. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Nora didn't know any of this, though.
She was still frowning and thinking about what had happened back then.
She hadn't just been sleeping all this time she was at the Andersons’.
Occasionally, she would look through what her mother had left behind.
Some of the books even contained notes and interpretations that her mother had made.
Through those writings, she had gained a general understanding of Yvette's character.
The woman was aggressive and stubborn by nature.
In the patriarchal environment back then, it was definitely no easy feat to rise to the challenge and become the head of the Andersons.
How would a woman like that possibly get together with lan’s brother while she was in a relationship with him? If she had really fallen in love with lan's brother...
Given her personality, she would have simply gotten together with that man instead, and been as decisive as how she had rejected Justin's father.
Why would she run away from home after she became pregnant and flee New York? She couldn't help feeling that her mother didn't seem like someone who would do that.
When the party came to an end, Nora got Melissa to take Cherry home while she followed Justin to the hospital to visit lan.
After all, they hadn't sorted out the issues they were talking about just now.
They hadn't told her which of lan's brothers her father was yet.
It was already late when they arrived at the hospital.
Joel sat quietly in the hallway late at night.
He seemed to know that the two of them would come over, so he was waiting for them.
lan was already asleep.
Joel said, "You can just ask me if you have any questions because I was the one who handled everything."
Nora lowered her head.
"I want to know how you got my DNA samples’’ Joel said unhurriedly, "Someone took a few strands of your hair when you were at the medical university the other time.The person I sent to protect you happened to be nearby, so he chased after the person and snatched the hair from him.”
".Then have you guys ever considered that the hair might have been switched?" asked Nora.
Joel was a little taken aback by her suggestion.
Nora looked at the ward and said slowly but firmly, "I want to redo the DNA test"
This particular floor was where the VIP wards were.
Joel had booked the whole floor so that lan could rest and recover better, so there was no one else in the quiet hospital corridor at the moment.
Right after Nora spoke firmly, a sinister and displeased voice reached them.
"There's no way the hair could have been switched.My professionalism is not to be doubted!"
Nora looked up to see someone slowly walking toward them from the darkness in front. There was no way Nora would have noticed him while he stood there.
It was as if he had blended into the darkness.
But the moment he appeared, Nora immediately sensed his presence.
The man was very skinny.
He was fully dressed in black and was wearing a black baseball cap.
His face was very small and thin.
Perhaps because he was rarely exposed to the sun, he was very pale.
He had a metal stud on his left earlobe, and there was a sort of androgynous beauty to him.
He kept his head lowered habitually and walked over to Joel while touching his baseball cap.
Joel introduced the man to Nora.
"This is Quentin, your second cousin’ Since he was her cousin, then that meant that they didn't share the same father.”
Nora nodded.
She observed the two men's faces carefully, feeling like Quentin and Joel looked nothing alike.
Joel looked gentler.
His fox-like eyes had a sly and wily look in them, and he looked like he was smiling.
Even when he didn't smile, he still gave off a very gentle feeling. Not only did Quentin look different, but the aura around him also felt colder and more sinister.
While Nora was curiously observing them, Quentin glared at her and said, "What are you staring at? I'll dig out your eyeballs if you continue to stare"
Nora: Why did she feel like that second cousin of hers felt a little like a teen with delusions of grandeur? The corners of her lips spasmed a little.
Before she could speak, Quentin said, "Don't think I'll treat you differently just because you're my cousin.I'm different from the other Smiths.They may want a younger sister, but I don't! Also, Uncle lan is like a father to me.If you make him unhappy, I won't betray him, let alone like you!"
Nora: After speaking as though he was swearing an oath, Quentin finally got to the point and said, "Also, it's impossible that your hair was switched.That man was constantly under my watch from the point he took your hair to the end of his escape that day!"
He stretched out two fingers and jabbed them forward.
"It’ s impossible for any of his actions to escape my eyes!"
Nora:".."
She silently looked at Joel and asked with her eyes: ‘Is Quentin a loony?’
Joel:That's the way he is’
Nora retracted her gaze and said, "Alright.Assuming the hair is correct and hasn't been switched, why not do another paternity test for me and my so-called father?"
No matter what, she didn't find the ONA report saying they were uncle and niece believable.
Quentin sneered, "What do you mean by ‘assuming’? I told you, it's impossible that the hair was switched! Are you still doubting my abilities?"
Nora: She straight-up ignored him and looked at Joel instead.
Joel kept quiet for a moment before he finally said, "It's because your father may be Ryan Smith, our second uncle.” Nora caught a keyword.
"May be?"
Joel coughed and replied, "Uncle Ryan also disappeared half a year after your mother.It was later confirmed that your mother had died, but Uncle Ryan remains missing even today.We have already checked my other uncles.You aren't their daughter, so the only remaining possibility is Uncle Ryan.Moreover, Uncle Ryan and your mother ran away from home one after the other.Before he left, he even said that he was going to search for your mother, so.
Even if lan didn't believe that Yvette was such a person, the DNA test report was right in front of him.
Everything that had happened back then was also fresh in his memory.
One said that she had fallen in love with someone else and wanted to leave, while the other said that he wanted to look for her.
With all these put
