Chapter 1830
Lucas retreated into contemplation, his brow furrowing deeply before resignation claimed his expression.
“Only Georgie possesses the key to unlock that particular mystery. However, one truth has crystallized beyond any doubt—Faye is not related to anyone in my family.”
His lips compressed into a thin line. Then he drew a steadying breath before continuing, “My instincts suggest that maybe Georgie or her husband faced some medical obstacle that made natural conception impossible, which explains why Georgie felt compelled to devise such an elaborate deception.”
His eyes hardened with conviction, he said, “I cannot bring myself to believe that Georgie would betray her marriage vows by conceiving with another man, then present that child as her husband’s offspring. So, the most likely scenario is that the child was adopted.”
Belinda’s head moved in agreement.
“Only Georgie and your father know the complete truth regarding Faye’s parentage. But knowing with certainty that no blood ties bind you and Faye together—that is already enough for us.”
Hearing this, Lucas fell silent, unsure of what to say.
Belinda also didn’t know how to bring up the matter that was on her mind now.
After allowing the silence to stretch between them, Lucas found his voice once more.
“My people are still investigating the incident at Mount Tuky.”
“Okay,” Belinda responded with a subtle nod.
Though suspicion burned within her that Faye had orchestrated her mountain fall, she recognized that she didn’t have any evidence of that.
She refused to condemn anyone based purely on gut feelings, particularly when that someone held the position of Lucas’ niece.
Lucas shifted his attention fully to Belinda, his expression growing grave.
“By the way, there’s another matter.”
His voice carried the weight of discovery as he continued, “My people have unearthed a significant irregularity in the hospital records. One of the nurses who provided direct assistance during Holley’s childbirth resigned exactly two days after your birth. Gordon believes this nurse’s sudden departure raises significant red flags, suggesting she either participated in something questionable or holds crucial information. Therefore, he has deployed people to track her down.

“Additionally, I have ordered a complete search for every doctor and nurse who participated in Holley’s child delivery, hoping we might unearth previously hidden details that could prove vital.”
This revelation hit Belinda with unexpected force, her features displaying visible shock.
Lucas pulled Belinda against his side, his arm tightening around her shoulders as he spoke in a low, reassuring tone.
“Listen, we discovered that a nurse resigned shortly after your birth, but that single fact doesn’t prove anything significant. Perhaps the nurse faced a family crisis and needed to leave her job immediately. Until we track down that nurse or locate the other medical staff from those days, everything remains uncertain. Don’t let your mind spiral with suspicions, all right?”
Belinda’s breathing grew labored as she cast her eyes downward, the weight of the matter pressing against her chest. Several heartbeats passed before she offered a subtle nod and muttered, “All right.”
