Chapter 371 The Truth
As soon as Eric said that, her tears fell down immediately. Before Hailey called her, she knew nothing. After asking her in detail, Hailey told her everything she knew.
She didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Wayne, who hadn't seen for only two days.
Leaning over, Eric held her in his arms. At this moment, he even wanted to cry.
"Why didn't you call me first?" In his arms, Lily was sobbing.
"What happened today?" Eric caressed the back of her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't thought about it yet. Don't cry, okay?"
"Okay..." Lily gradually stopped sobbing and looked up from Eric's arms. "I… Let's go to Harry."
Eric gently wiped the tears on her face with a smile on his face and replied, "Okay."
After adjusting his mood, he started the car and left.
Lily sat on the passenger seat and wiped the tears on her face with a tissue. She said, "Grandpa has known everything about him. After Hailey told me, I told them everything, and they all thought it was inconceivable."
Eric simply replied yes and didn't say anything, because he really didn't know how to answer it. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lily turned her head and looked at him. She knew that he was not feeling well. She wanted to say a lot to him, but she was afraid that it would make him feel bad if she said it out, so she endured it.
It was late at night. The street lights were bright, and the neon lights in the center of the city were colorful. But these had nothing to do with the two people in the car, and they had no time to enjoy the night scene.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Harry's hospital.
The two got off the car almost at the same time. Lily walked to Eric, reached out her hand and took the initiative to clasp his ten fingers. She turned her head to look at him and smiled, "Let's go."
"Okay." Eric forced a smile and tightened his grip on her finger.
Because of Harry's special requirements, there were not many patients in the hospital at night, and even the receptionist who was responsible for reception had been off duty. Therefore, when the two of them walked into the hospital hand in hand, it was very quiet.
As they had been here once, the two of them were quite familiar with Harry's office.
When they came to the office, the door was open and there was a sound of talking inside.
"Gee, idiot, I think this palm bone is not bad. How about we take it back for fun?" It was Hailey's voice.
"No!" Ellison refused without hesitation, "Why do you take it back? Aren't you afraid of seeing it in the middle of the night?"
"No, I think it's fun." As she spoke, Hailey grabbed Ellison's face hard.
Ellison seemed to be really frightened and stepped back abruptly.
He retreated, while Hailey kept moving forward. He didn't stop until his back was against the wall. However, when he saw that Hailey hadn't stopped yet, Ellison quickly reached out one hand to hold her wrist which was holding a palm bone prank, pulled it to one side, and held her waist tightly with the other hand, pressing down on him.
For a moment, the distance between the two people was equal to… Zero.
"You..." The intimate contact between the two made Hailey blush at once. "You are shameless!"
"No, I'm not. It's normal." Ellison looked at her innocently, as if he was telling the truth.
"Ahem..." Eric, who was standing outside the door and watching all this, deliberately coughed, while Lily stood quietly aside.
"Here you are." Ellison turned around and saw them. He stopped making a fuss with Hailey and loosened his grip on her.
Of course, Hailey didn't continue to quarrel with him. She took a few steps back, distanced herself from him, and put the hand bone back on the desk.
"Yes." After saying yes, Eric held Lily's hand and walked in.
Ellison looked at his watch and said, "Harry will come out in about an hour."
"Sit down." Hailey pointed to the empty chair aside and said, "Before you arrive, I have thought over my previous deduction carefully."
After they sat down together, Eric looked up at Hailey and asked, "Have you found anything new?"
Hailey shook her head, "No. I have roughly calculated the position of the suspect's injury. If it is the first situation I have guessed before, your grandfather reached out to grab the suspect after he fell to the ground, then the scratch must be on his feet, above and below his ankle. If it's the second case, your grandfather fell to the ground in the process of pushing with the suspect, the place where the suspect was scratched may be on the upper part of his body, or on his feet, because it may also be the suspect who went to arrest after being pushed down."
Eric nodded, while Lily listened quietly, with Ellison standing aside silently.
Hailey continued, "In this case, it will be easier to find the suspects you have targeted. You can secretly observe who has injuries on their bodies, especially the scratches, and then lock these people."
The other three nodded in agreement.
"Well, I have finished what I want to say." Hailey clapped her hands and said, "This is the simplest case I have taken over. It has been less than ten hours since the case was filed, and it has basically been announced to be solved."
This was indeed the simplest case. The suspects were locked, and the most important clues had been found. The test results were about to come out, and now it was time for Eric to find the suspects.
"Dear, don't be happy too early. The suspect hasn't been caught yet." Suddenly, Ellison poured cold water on her.
Well, in fact, he was a little jealous… How could his girlfriend be so strong? It made him feel very unfair. How he hoped that Hailey could be obedient, but she was just a queen!
When she was happy, she played with you, when she unhappy, slapped your face, and do what he should do. He has no time to turn over in front of her.
Let's take intimacy as an example. If she didn't allow him to touch her, then he can't. If he did, ha ha, just waited to enter the cold palace.
He remembered that he had kissed her secretly once, but she had treated him with a cold face for many days. He really felt bad.
Hailey gave him a cold look, "I don't want to talk to you, idiot!"
Ellison opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. In the end, he had to shut up. He would suffer when he went back.
Eric and Lily didn't talk much. Their ten fingers clasped together tightly.
Lily could clearly feel the tension in his body, because his hand was getting tighter and tighter. But she said nothing and looked at him sideways with deep concern in her eyes.
He was so depressed that all his emotions were suppressed in his heart, and what he needed most now was to vent.
An hour later, Harry went back to his office with three pieces of paper in his hands. He frowned and looked serious.
Seeing him enter the office, Eric stood up immediately, and Lily, who was clasping his ten fingers, also stood up because of this movement.
"What's the result?" He asked.
At the same time, Ellison and Hailey also looked at him.
"You can check it yourself." Harry handed three pieces of paper to Eric at the same time. "I hope you won't be too surprised to see this result."
Letting go of Lily's hand and taking the test result, Eric looked down.
Seeing that he was reading it carefully, Harry said, "Since the skin tissue is mixed with two people's blood, I have tested the DNA of the two people. The results of the two groups are very similar, and then I have done a paternity test… They are related by blood."
He said the last few words with a heavy heart.
Harry's words shocked everyone.
Parent-child relationship!
But now, the suspect was directly locked up because of the test result of Harry.
Ellison and Hailey widened their eyes at the same time. The two looked at each other and then turned to Eric at the same time.
Lily was too shocked to react. She turned her head to look at Eric, which was the biggest blow to him.
At the same time, Eric looked at the three test reports in his hands. His hands trembling, the muscles of his teeth on both sides of his face as shadowy as a line, and his black eyes emitted a cold light, looking very frightening.
Lily had never seen him like this, so she was inevitably a little worried. She reached out to touch his trembling hand and gently called, "Eric."
Eric felt that his breath was almost frozen. Among the three results, the paternity test report was particularly dazzling.
Even though there was only one name on the report, and the other was unknown, the result was obvious. Who else could it be except for Simon!
He didn't expect him to be so cruel to do such a thing to his biological father!
As if he could not feel the existence of Lily, he was completely immersed in his own world.
"Eric..." Lily called him again, her eyes full of worry. "Can you say something? Look at you… I'm so worried."
The test report in Eric's hand was crumpled. He gradually clenched his fists, closed his eyes, took a breath, and then opened his eyes again. He turned to look at Lily and said, "I'm fine."
Her voice became hoarse because of the suppression.
Seeing him like this, Lily's heart ached so much that her eyes turned red unconsciously. "You don't look fine at all. Can you release your emotions first?"
"Let's go back home." Without answering Lily's question, Eric held her hand and turned to the other three people. "Thank you. I'll go back to deal with it first."
The three of them nodded and watched the two leave… There was going to be a storm again.
