Yannie’s anger mounted when she thought of that.
She did not understand why Thomas never once came to visit Riley after so long if Bethan and Brettley never stopped him.
With that, she entered the ward with rage churned inside of her.
In the ward, the little girl, lying on her bed, smiled as she saw the two adults beside her.
Her clear, crystal eyes twinkled with mirth as though she knew Thomas Ak{$!b}b Yannie were her parents.
Yannie’s heart melted when she saw the smile on Riley’s face.
She stretched her hand out to play with Riley.
“She got chubbier than the last time I was here.”
That sentence was purely something Yannie felt when she saw Riley.
To her surprise, Thomas chimed in, saying, “Yes, she looks chubbier now.
I saw her medical report, and it looks like she’s recovering steadily.
Maybe she can be discharged soon.”
He looked the same when he said those, and he even made an ugly face to play with Riley.
Yannie was shocked to hear that as she looked at Thomas incredulously.
“How did you… know?
Why did Thomas know Riley was chubbier than before? He had not visited Riley ever before, had he?
Thomas sighed as if he read Yannie’s mind.
He extended his hand and grabbed the necklace on Yannie’s neck, much to her shock.
“What are you doing?”
Bethan was the one who gave her the necklace.
When she resigned from Bethan’s jewelry design company, Bethan was reluctant to see her go.
As such, Bethan gave Yannie a necklace she had made herself as a gift.
She even told Yannie that she was free to return to work in the company if she was unhappy working at other places.
This was why Yannie treasured the necklace tremendously.
There’s something in here.”
Thomas took out a pinhole camera from the inside of the necklace without any trouble.
“It’s a customized high-definition camera.
“Every time you enter Riley’s ward, the camera will capture everything you see with high definition quality.
It’s connected to the Wi-Fi in this room too, and with my phone linked to this camera, I can see everything that you see.”
He took out his phone and opened an application.
True enough the screen showed the exact scene that the camera was pointing at.
Yannie was shocked as she widened her eyes.
“This…”
“It’s true I never came to visit Riley, but every time you came, I’d know.
With your help, I saw Riley, too,” explained Thomas.
Yannie bit her lip upon hearing this, and her eyebrows pressed together.
“So it’s not that you didn’t visit Riley, but you’ve…been seeing her with my help.”
She did not understand.
“Why? You could’ve come to visit in person.”
In addition, he mentioned he had been monitoring Riley’s condition.
Yannie did not even know Riley had been doing quite well these past few days, but he knew it very well.
“I’ll tell you later after we leave the hospital,” said Thomas.
He smiled and looked back at Riley, who was on the bed.
“Hey, Riley, did you miss me?”
Riley looked at him with her clear, pure eyes.
She made grabby hands in his direction as though telling Thomas she missed him.
Thomas was amused with Riley’s action, unable to refrain himself from pinching her cheek repeatedly.
For some reason, he truly thought Yannie and Riley shared some similarities, like how bouncy their cheeks were when he pinched them.
Because of that, Thomas could not help but pinch Yannie’s cheek twice when they were in the car leaving the hospital.
Exceptionally, Yannie did not resist it this time.
She furrowed her brow and looked at Thomas.
“Can you tell me now why you have to be so secretive with visiting Riley and scared that Brettley would out about it?”
Thomas narrowed his eyes Ell’$d{g looked to the front.
His voice sounded indifferent.
“I have to start with my mother and Brettley’s mother… My mother and Brettley’s mother are twin sisters.”
Yannie nodded, having known this.
Brettley said it before, too.
However, Yannie did not understand why Thomas treated Brettley like his enemy when they were cousins.
“Because he’s that person’s son.”
Thomas looked to the front and said coldly, “After my aunt delivered Brettley, she was announced dead.
But the truth is…my aunt didn’t die because of a difficult birth.
She was dead because of Adrian , Brettley’s father.”
He sighed and closed his eyes.
“Luckily, on the day my aunt gave birth, my mother was worried and found someone to rescue her.
Unfortunately, she was too frail then, and she didn’t last long afterward…”
Yannie bit her lip.
“But that has nothing to do with Brettley.”
Brettley’s father was the one who did all of those, did he not? Thomas opened his eyes instantly.
“And what made you say that? In the end, my aunt died because of Brettley!”
Yannie did not understand.
According to what you said, your aunt, Brettley’s mother, was dead after she delivered Brettley, and she was taken away by your mother after that.
How could her death be related to Brettley?”
