Dear 188
Chapter 188
Rachel thought that the child's mother was ashamed of her identity, so after Joshua brought the child
back, he never told anyone else.
Joshua was a bit helpless.
If the child was not Joshua's, would Rachel still be willing to acknowledge him?
"You don't need to interfere in this matter."
As the conversation ended, Joshua hung up the phone directly.
Joshua couldn't calm down anymore. Joshua couldn't help but open his phone album.
In Joshua's hidden album,there were three photos.
There is one document which is a medical examination report done when Anika was pregnant, and another one is a photo of William. The last one is a silhouette of a young girl. Joshua stayed on William's photo, looking carefully.
Was William really Trent's?
Joshua was somewhat skeptical, but he didn't dare to have someone do the appraisal.
Once the identification was confirmed, Joshua lost all his expectations as it was determined that he had no connection with William.
It's better not to appraise.
Joshua turned off his phone, unaware that Rachel had already been overjoyed.
'Anyway, I had to know where that child was!"
Rachel looked at the disconnected phone and asked her personal secretary to investigate.
No matter how many connections were made, it was necessary to find that child.
The reason Rachel hoped for a grandson was not only to ensure Joshua's succession. Still, to inform the elders of the Conan family, Rachel's genes were not a problem.
Several decades ago, Rachel gave birth to a pair of twins. However, the younger son was diagnosed with a genetic disease right after birth. At that time, Rachel's mother-in-law, upon learning about it, subjected her to various difficulties.
Later, after Joshua took over the Conan family, the elders of the Conan family treated Rachel a little better.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Joshua,however, never had children. Everyone said that Joshua also had some health issues and might not have children.
Proud as Rachel was she could never admit that there was something wrong with her genes, nor would
she tell Joshua about her suffering.
After Anika came back from the hospital, she saw that the living room was still lit up. She pushed the door open and saw Joshua sitting on the sofa,wearing casual clothes, flipping through a book in the soft light.
Joshua saw Anika come back, but he didn't even lift his head. He continued flipping through the book, but his mind had already jumped to somewhere else.
Anika walked step by step towards Joshua.
"I came back and saw the flowers outside, they were very beautiful."
Anika had already seen the flowers in the morning Anika is only saying it now,just to please Joshua at the right time.
Joshua closed the book in his hand, raised his head slightly, and his handsome face was facing Anika.
"Hmm."
Joshua's voice was magnetic, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
Anika noticed that Joshua was acting strange, but she didn't know what was wrong with him.
'On the way back, I came across a nice Japanese restaurant and specially brought you a portion, Anika placed the bag containing the Japanese food on the coffee table. Joshua generally did not eat supper, but Anika was also thinking of giving it a try and not missing any opportunity.
Sure enough, Joshua pushed the food away and said "I don't want to eat."
Joshua's voice was weak, and it felt like there was a lump of cotton blocking his heart.
Only Joshua knew why it happened.
It was because of Rachel's phone call, it was because of that Anika and someone else's child!
"Alright then, I'll go freshen up and rest,"Anika said as she turned to head upstairs. Suddenly,her wrist was grabbed by Joshua.
Anika stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Joshua with confusion, as she heard him ask word by word.
'Did my child really die as soon as they were born?"
For the first time, Anika saw pain on Joshua's face.
Anika didn't know how to respond, the lie stuck in her mouth and she couldn't spit it out no matter what.
Joshua saw that she did not respond, so he stood up and embraced her tightly.
"Did you also hate me?"
