Chapter 388 Not Swapped
Jared glanced at him coldly, signaling for him to shut up.
Ben shrugged and shut his mouth.
Jared watched as Amber and Stella entered their room before returning to the elevator.
He already knew which room she was staying in. That was enough.
Next, it was time for him to go back to his room.
The next day.
Amber was woken up by Stella and they were going to go to the hospital later.
Stella had prepared Amber’s towel and toothbrush.
Therefore, when Amber entered the bathroom, she could brush her teeth and wash her face directly. She didn’t need to grope around to find these things.
It had to be said that she had found the right person to accompany her to South Riverside.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Stella turned to the bathroom and said, “Ms. Reed, someone’s here. I’ll go open the door.”
“Go ahead.” Amber spat out the foam in her mouth and replied.
Stella walked towards the door. She first looked through the peep hole and saw that it was the hotel staff outside. Only then did she open the door. “What’s the matter?” she asked.
“Is this Ms. Reed?” The staff member asked with a smile.
“I’m not, but Ms. Reed is my boss.” Stella shook her head.
“It’s like this. A Mr. Farrell has ordered breakfast for Ms. Reed. Please sign for it.” As he spoke, the staff pushed out a dining cart from the side.
There were a few plates on the dining cart, but they were all covered with lids, so there was no way to see what breakfast was inside.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Okay, I got it.” Stella raised her eyebrows.
The staff handed her the dining cart and turned to leave.
Stella pushed it into the room and saw Amber coming out of the bathroom, feeling her way against the wall.
Hearing the sound of the wheels rolling, Amber stopped moving. “Stella, who is it?”
“Someone from the hotel sent breakfast.” Stella pushed the dining car to the dining table and replied.
“You already ordered breakfast? I was thinking about eating out after washing up.” Amber was slightly surprised.
“I didn’t order it. This was ordered by the big boss who wanted to pursue his wife.” Stella pointed upstairs.
Amber couldn’t see, but she immediately knew who Stella was talking about. Her red lips pursed. “Jared ordered it?”
“Yes.” Stella nodded, opened a few lids, saw the sumptuous breakfast on the plate, and could not help but cry out, “Not bad, Ms. Reed, come over and eat.”
“No, you can eat it yourself.” Amber shook her head.
Stella put down the lid and walked towards her. Then, she grasped Amber and walked towards the dining table. “Come on. It’s a free breakfast. No point looking this gift horse in the mouth. Anyway, it’s not like the hotel will take the food back now that they’ve served it. I can’t finish it all by myself. It’s a waste to throw it out. I know why you don’t accept it. We can pay him back later.”
Stella said as she stuffed the spoon into Amber’s hand.
Amber didn’t throw the spoon away. She didn’t want to lose it. In the end, she compromised and sat down. “Use my phone later and transfer the money to him.”
“Sure.” Stella nodded as she drank her milk.
After breakfast, the two of them went out and went to the largest hospital in South Riverside.
Twenty-six years ago, Amber was born here.
Her father said that he came to South Riverside for business. Her mother insisted on coming with him, even though she had been pregnant for months. That was why Amber had been born in South Riverside.
This time, she must find out once and for all if she had been swapped at birth.
At the hotel, Jared found out that Amber had gone out, and he wasn’t happy.
He knew that there was another runway show today.
She would probably only return to Olkmore after watching both of Jeremy’s shows.
Ben glanced at the sulking Jared and pushed up his glasses. “Mr. Farrell, are we going?”
“No!” Jared replied with a frown.
What was the point of watching a bunch of men walk up and down a runway?
“Send two people over there to protect her in secret. Don’t let her get hurt.” Jared pinched the space between his eyebrows.
Although Amber had Stella by her side, Stella was alone after all, and sometimes she could not cover everything.
Especially on such a crowded occasion, with people coming and going, and Amber not being able to see. It was likely they would run into people.
“Understood, Mr. Farrell.” Ben nodded.
However, the people sent by Ben had searched the site and didn’t find Amber and Stella. Thus, Jared knew that they didn’t go to see Jeremy.
This made Jared start to worry.
If Amber didn’t go to the fashion hall, where did she go?
Was she taken away by someone or did she go to do something else?
Many questions lingered in his heart. Jared narrowed his eyes and ordered in a low voice, “Check the car Amber took when she went out. I want to know her whereabouts.”
Without knowing where she was, his heart could not calm down.
Ben also knew that Amber suddenly disappeared. The matter was a little serious, so he did not dare to delay and immediately went to do it.
On the other side of the hospital, Amber was standing outside the archives room, nervously waiting for the answer to her question.
After all, it was twenty-six years ago. It would take a certain amount of time for the manager to look up information for such a long time.
Stella saw that Amber was wringing her hands and looking anxious. She couldn’t help but comfort her, “Ms. Reed, don’t worry. I believe that you are definitely the daughter of the Reed family.”
“I also think that I am the daughter of the Reed family. Otherwise, why are my parents so good to me? There are only some strange things that I have to figure out.” Amber smiled.
She really wanted to know why the baby that Cole saw twice looked different.
Her intuition told her that this was very important.
So if she didn’t figure it out, she would feel uneasy.
After waiting for a while, the door of the archives room opened. The manager came out with a yellowed file, “Ms. Reed, the information you want is here. This file contains the records of your mother when she was giving birth in our hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Amber immediately stood up. “Thank you.”
She fumbled for the file that the manager handed over.
“Ms. Reed, I’ll read it for you.” Stella said.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you.” Amber quickly handed the file over.
After Stella took it, she carefully opened it.
How could she not be careful? It had been more than twenty years. Even the paper was a little brittle. If she used a little force, it would definitely be destroyed.
More than twenty years ago, computers were not popularized. All the records at that time were basically paper. If she destroyed the copy she held in her hands, there would be no backups.
“Stella, have you read it?” Amber hurriedly asked.
Stella gently flipped through the pages. “I’m reading it. Ms. Reed, don’t worry. It says that on July 6th twenty-six years ago, Madam Reed, your mother, gave birth to a baby girl who weighed 6 pounds in this hospital.”
“And then? Was the baby swapped?” Amber pinched her palm and asked again.
This was what she wanted to know the most now.
If there really had been a mistake, then her parents would definitely come to the hospital to find their baby and the other set of parents. A matter such as this would surely be recorded in the files.
“Wait a minute, let me take a look.” Stella continued to flip through the file and then shook her head. “No, there is no mention of the baby being swapped. There are a lot of details about the baby, it seems the condition and health of the baby were not great. Ms. Reed, you were quite weak when you were a child.”
“I don’t know about my health as a baby. My parents never told me about it, but it doesn’t matter. What is important is why there is no record of a mistaken swap?”
If there was no mention of it in the file, then it must mean that she hadn’t been swapped at birth after all.
Then who was the baby that Cole saw that first time? The one without the red mole?
