Chapter 1100
"Emmett loves Mommy so, so much. Always loves Mommy."
The youthful voice echoed through the car, warming Elysia's heart while simultaneously stirring an inexplicable sense of sorrow.
For some reason, thoughts of that odd woman sent her into a flurry of unease and apprehension, as if a dreadful event loomed on the horizon. Holding Emmett tighter, Elysia's grip unconsciously strengthened, fearing that loosening her hold would allow someone to snatch him away.
In the hotel, Pamela and Baby were already up and about.
Seeing Elysia return, they clung to her instantly.
Given Pamela's troubled mind and Baby being the youngest, they were the ones most attached to Elysia, constantly seeking her out if she was out of sight for even a moment.
Yesterday, when Elysia visited Blossom in the hospital, the grandmother and grandchild duo took turns calling her, their absence felt like an eternity.
Aware of his mom's preoccupations, Emmett quickly entertained the two, giving Elysia a moment of pride for having such a wonderful child. She considered herself incredibly fortunate to have him.
With a steadied heart, Elysia pulled Tarquin aside back into their room.
"Any luck? Did you find her?"
"Not yet, but we've gathered some information. The woman's name is Claire, her husband's Cecil, and their daughter, Maria. All three are locals of Silver City, living under tough conditions.
Maria has a congenital illness that's incurable, and Cecil doesn't hold down a steady job, often loafing around aimlessly. The family's income relies solely on Claire.
She works several jobs, guarding the cemetery at night, joining the city's cleaning crew at dawn, and crafting at home during the day while caring for her daughter. Every day is a struggle for her."
Elysia frowned, "Then why is she forcing us to leave Silver City?"
"We're not sure yet, but..."
Tarquin gave her a meaningful look, hesitating before asking,
"Have you never seen what this woman looks like?"
"No, she's always wearing a mask whenever I see her. Why? What about her appearance?"
As Tarquin handed his phone to her, showing a photo of a younger Claire, Elysia's body jolted as if struck, her pupils dilating in shock!
She rubbed her eyes, disbelieving, before daring to look at the photo again...
Once she confirmed the woman's features in the photo, Elysia's breath hitched, "She... she..."
Tarquin, empathetic, helped her sit down, "Looks a lot like Emmett."
Tears welled in Elysia's eyes, her body trembling, "She is... Emmett's biological mother?"
"We can't be certain yet, but it's highly likely."
In his investigation of Claire, Tarquin discovered she had recently visited a paternity testing center, submitting two bair samples for DNA analysis.
The results came back today, confirming a maternal link.
Moreover, the timing of Claire's test and her confrontation with Elysia today, urging her to leave Silver City with the child, was too coincidental to ignore. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Claire had accidentally hit Emmett before taking the DNA test.
Upon receiving the results today, she sought out Elysia.
The evidence strongly suggested that the DNA test was between her and Emmett, making Claire's likelihood of being Emmett's
biological mother significantly high!
