Chapter 203
Hearing Rachel. Humphrey snerred again
cold as ice. It was clear
Tear that Rachel’s w words irritated both of them.
As for Darell his eyes grew as cold as
was sensitive to the unfriendly atmosphere, so she shrank back and asked in a low voice, “Can you postpone our divorce if I let Nina stay?
Darell didn’t want to argue with Rachel as he decisively aid. “I won’t our you two. As you said, for the sake of Solana, I won’t tell her about one divorer for the tinte being. That is all 1 can do for you?
li greatly disappointed Rachel that the secret brought her so little benefis. Holding a grudge, the opened her mouth for more
Right then. Tarell said as if he had seen through Rachel, Tonk psh your luck. We can do the investigation ourselves even if it costs a lot of time and money. We won’t tolerate your threat forever”
Rachel was lost for word. Hearing Darell, she knew she couldnt get anything else from this negotiation and might suffer a double loss for her
she hit her lip and said, “Alright, I won’t breathe a wood of that ser ret till you promise that you won’t
Darell responded. “You have my wond. Now, not with it?
However, Rachel didn’t know who the minderer was. Back then, she had been too frightened to look ar his face, so she knew little about him. Noww she had to bite the bullet and continued. For the time being, I will give you only one clue in case you will hark on your word.
Instantly, Darell’s face darkened.
For the truth about Emily’s death, Darell suppressed his anger and sa
sad in a deep
eep voice, “Okay”
Rachel racked her brain for something that could prevent her lie from being exposed. A surname suddenly popped into her mind, and she blurted out, “His surname is Shelton
Shelton! What else? Darell asked.
Rachel answered. That’s all I can tell you for the time being. As for the rest, it depends on Jessica’s recovery! In fet the sumame of the murderer was made up by her.
Why had she chosen this surname? Because she flashed back in that one–night stand when she recalled the incident 18 years ago. In her vague memory, she had drunk with a man that night, and he was addressed as Professor Shelton by his companion.
It was a regret that the drunk Rachel couldn’t remember what the stranger had said though he had said a lot.
With the clue provided by Rachel, Darell and Humphrey left the cafe.
In the car. Darell said to Humphrey, “Find out everything about that doctor. If possible, give me a name list of the medical staff of that day when your mother had a difficult delivery
It was a mission impossible if the delivery had happened in an onlinary hospital. However, Darell had sent his wife to the best hospital for good medical service 18 years agu, so there was hope for Humphrey to find something about the truth.
“Got you, Dad,” Humphrey responded. After a nod, he asked. “It is important. Should we tell the others?”
Darell said blandly. “Of course. They have the right to know that. The doctor insisted your mother luve a nabiral delivery, so his goal must be Nina: This also explains why the surveillance cameras along the road were sabotaged alter Nina was kidnapped. Tell Nina, and she may have some clues.”
“You are right.” Humphrey nodded. Then, he added after something came to mind, “By the way, Allie has been away from home for a long time. He hasn’t met with Nina yet. Shall we take this opportunity to urge him to come home!”
Thanks to Humphrey, Darell finally remembered his long–absent son. He showed his agreement by saying, “Give him a call”
“Okay” Humphrey was a man of action. He quickly took out his phone and called Allie.
Soon, the call was answered. A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hey”
“Allie, we just found that Mom’s death may be a plot. I don’t care how important your surgery is, come home now. Don’t forget to buy some qual gifts for Nina when you come back. Only you haven’t met with her yet. Humphrey lectured Alfie.
Albe heard Humphrey out and remained silent for quite a while before he slowly said, “I have some inside information about Mom’s death.”
“What?” Thumphrey shouted.
Both Humphrey and Darell were aghot at this news. “How did you get it? When?

Right then, an anxious voice sounded on the other end of the phone. “Dr. Woods, No. 218 is seriously injured, and he needs an operation right
