How could Elijah be here? And with Joan Lowe?
Taking advantage of Eric Lowe’s momentary lapse, Freya quickly walked over to Elijah’s side and whispered, “This Joan Lowe, her original name is Joan Nash.”
She knew that as soon as she mentioned the name, Elijah would understand. Elijah lowered his gaze to look at her, surprised that she would say such a thing to him. Did she know that he was investigating Joan Lowe? But now wasn’t the time for him to ask her that question. The reason he came to the hospital was because Evan found out that Joan Lowe had come here. He met her in the corridor and followed her here.
Eric Lowe was afraid that Elijah had come to take Joan Lowe away from him, so he quickly pulled her behind him. He stared at Elijah with caution and vigilance. “What do you want?”
Freya was about to speak, but Elijah raised his hand, gesturing for her to hold off. He asked Evan to give the appraisal report to Eric Lowe.
“What is this?” Eric Lowe hesitated, not wanting to look.
Evan handed it over. “You’ll know once you read it. Although you’ve been living abroad, the Gu family in Stratos City is a prominent family. It’s not difficult for us to investigate you.”
“You…” They found out about him so quickly?
How could it happen so fast?
Eric Lowe looked at Freya. “Did you tell them?”
“You locked me in the room, I didn’t have a chance to say anything.” Retorted Freya.
So, in fact, Elijah had already been investigating.
Evan scornfully commented on Eric Lowe’s behavior. “You better take a look at what’s in your hands.”
Eric Lowe had a vague feeling that it wasn’t good news. He lowered his head. At the moment of the paternity test result. He took a few steps back, trembling.
Joan Lowe quickly supported him. “Eric, what’s wrong with you?”
Eric Lowe’s face turned pale. He tightly focused his gaze at the end, where the result was written. His hand loosened, and the paper floated down gently, silently lying on the ground. Joan Lowe went to look. Eric Lowe quickly grabbed it and tore it apart forcefully. “It’s fake, all fake.”
“Eric.” Joan Lowe anxiously looked at him, feeling that he was too agitated. “What happened?”
Eric Lowe held her hand tightly, very tightly. “Nothing happened, everything’s fine, there’s nothing, let’s go home.”
He embraced Joan Lowe’s shoulders. Joan Lowe could feel his body trembling slightly. She comforted him softly, “No matter what happens, I will stay by your side, don’t be afraid.”
When Joan Lowe said these words, Freya looked up at Elijah. Though his face was expressionless, Freya still noticed that his calm face tightened for a moment.
“Please let us pass and leave.” Joan Lowe supported Eric Lowe and walked towards the door.
Elijah stood at the door, unmoving. He just looked at her with an emotionless gaze.
Evan defended for Elijah and spoke up, “Madam, you are…”
“Evan.” Elijah interrupted him. “Let them go.”
Freya understood Elijah. Joan Lowe couldn’t remember him now, and even if they forced her to stay, it wouldn’t help. That was why Elijah let them go. She held Elijah’s hand. At this moment, his heart must be bitter and sour, right? His biological mother was right in front of him, but she couldn’t recognize him. How could he appear so indifferent on the surface? But all his pain was hidden in his heart.
Joan Lowe held Eric Lowe’s arm and took a few steps, then turned back to glance at Elijah. A different emotion flashed through her calm eyes, but she quickly looked away and regained her composure.
Freya said, “Dr. Peters, I would like to take a leave today.”
With things turning out like this, Sivin Peters knew that Freya probably wouldn’t be in the mood to work. He sighed and said, “Go ahead.”
Freya held Elijah’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Leaving the hospital, Evan took charge of driving. Elijah remained silent, not saying a word. No one dared to make a sound. The silence in the car was eerie.
Freya broke the silence first. “Joan Lowe can’t remember you because something has been implanted in her brain. I’m not sure what it is yet, but I suspect it’s some kind of interference device.”
Surprised, Elijah looked at her.
