“Yes.”
Brettley’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I know.”
Ruth was a relative from Granny Morrison’s side, around the same age as Adrian.
By seniority, Adrian should address Ruth as his aunt.
When Brettley was small, Ruth became a crazy person who roamed around the village every day.
He saw her once before and later heard she died in a col.
Ruth had made a great impression on Brettley’s mind because she was evidently a lunatic.
That was why he remembered this name.
“This Ruth Hayes…
She’s not the one who stayed in the mental asylum.”
Although Ruth was demented, Brettley remembered very clearly that he saw her once when hewas nine years old.
Bethan paused Dm #, a{b extended her hand out to grab Brettley’s hand.
Frankly speaking, she had guessed this name was not the real name of the patient.
Otherwise, she would not let Nigel search for this woman’s information.
It had been a long time since Brettley was five years old.
All of the information related to this Ruth Hayes were photos of written information.
Other than those, they could not find anything else.
Bethan also tried to search for information when Thomas’ mother brought Rianna for treatment in Saigen City, but she failed tofind any.
It was hard to prove Adrian had once hurt Rianna based on this admittance information of Ruth Hayes.
Surely, Adrian would deny and argue.
“You don’t have to care about this anymore.”
Brettley knew Bethan was trying to help him unearth proof that Adrian had abused Rianna, all to make Adrianpay for what he did.
However, it was too long ago, and Thomas still misunderstood Brettley at present.
It was not something that could be solved within a day or two.
Nonetheless, he felt warm and touched by Bethan and Nigel’s thoughts.
He stretched out his long arms and pulled Bethan into an embrace.
“Thank you.”
Bethan’s heart trembled when she felt the familiar temperature and breath.
After being together for so long, she would still feel nervous every time they became intimate.
“I’m leaving.”
Nigel grabbed his laptop immediately when he saw his parents having one of their moments.
He dashed out the door with his short legs.
“If I find any other information, I’ll text both of you.”
He was so thoughtful thathe did not want to disturb his parents.
Bethan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She immediately got out of Brettley’s arms.
“Nigel…” “You two continue.”
He opened the door to the study.
“My siblings will care for me.”
He thought for a while before saying, “Aunt Yannie will take care of me too.”
Then, he shut the door and left. Bethan blushed a little. Before she could say anything, Brettley hugged her waist from behind.
“
The boy is very understanding. We can’t disappoint him now, can we?”
Then, he gently kissed her cheeks.
Feeling his warmth, Bethan’s heart constricted tightly. She turned to look at his angular face.”
Brettley.”
“Hmm?”
“We’ve found Riley’s parents.”
Bethan sniffled. In the end, she still could not help but bring up this topic.
“When… When will we be able to find our daughter?”
She only dared to bring up this topic when she was alone with Brettley at that moment.
That day, when she saw Thomas and Yannie appearing together at the hospital, she felt inexplicably sad although she looked calm outwardly.
She knew that she should not be sad. Riley found her parents, after all, and she should be happy for Riley. Still, she could not help but feel sad too.
Previously, when she could not find her daughter, she could still lie to herself that even if she could not find her daughter, she still had Riley.
However, at that moment, Riley’s identity had been made known, and she no longer had reasons to lie to herself. Riley was not her child.
She could not find her child.
Every time she thought about this, she felt as though her heart was pierced.
“We’ll find her.”
Brettley sighed. He hugged her arm tightly and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Whatever happens, we’ll still bring her home. We must.”
Receiving Brettley’s response, Bethan was not cheered up either. After all, she knew better than anyone else how challenging this matter was. She knew…the chances of a three–month–old’s survival.
After a while, she adjusted her breathing. She turned to look at Brettley. “Let’s not talk about the child. As for…”
Bethan paused for a while. “As for the matter of your mother Bq– }bpts Thomas, what do you plan to do?”
She knew that Brettley would not let Adrian go. However, if they wanted to get Adrian to admit to his crimes, they needed Thomas’ cooperation.
After all, Rianna’s last five years on earth were spent with the mother–and–son pair, Eanne and Thomas.
Eanne had already passed away, and only Thomas was left.
At the thought of that, Bethan could not help but furrowed her brow.”Thomas still has a deep misunderstanding toward you. I think we should properly talk to him.”
Brettley could not help but smile at Bethan’s words.
“I also think I should properly talk to him, which is why I brought him back.”
Bethan was taken aback as she stared at Brettley in disbelief.
“Y–You…brought Thomas back?”
“Mhm. He was drunk at a bar, and I bumped into him.”
Brettley held Bethan tighter to his form as he placed his chin on her head and gently kissed her fragrant hair.
