Chapter 287 Truth
"Clara, why are you asking me this?" Logan was curious.
Clara was shocked into a daze by what Logan just said. Her phone slipped out of her hand. She was This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
now on the ground pale as a ghost.
How come Laura had a birthmark so similar to hers?
The answer to this question popped up in her mind but she forced herself to stop thinking about it.
"Stop! It's can't be! It's impossible!"
"Clara? Are you still there? Hello?" Logan asked worriedly, but it was silence on the other end of the
phone.
He looked at his phone to see that they were still on the call. Clara didn't hang up.
"Hey, Clara, can you hear me? Clara?" Logan raised his voice and called out worriedly.
Hearing that, Clara hurriedly picked up the phone from the ground. "Yeah, Logan. I can hear you."
Clara was almost crying when she said that. If things really were what she speculated, then Logan
would be her biological brother...
"Clara, what happened? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I..." Clara choked back a little sob. She moved the phone away from her ear and composed
herself before replying, "Thank you for telling me this, Logan. I have to go now."
Clara hung up the phone before Logan could respond. She was already trying really hard to hold back
the tears. If she talked to Logan for just one second longer, she would burst out crying.
Logan, on the other side of the phone, was puzzled.
Clara sounded like she was crying. What was going on?
Indeed, now that he thought of it, she acted a bit strange earlier today. Why would she ask him to grab
a coffee? That was not like her at all. She was probably there for other reasons.
She seemed to be prying on him about the relationship between Aunt Helena and Laura throughout the
conversation. Why? And why did she ask him that question on the phone?
Was there something more behind the kidnap case? There must be. Otherwise, why would Clara act
like this today?"
Thinking of that, Logan picked up his mobile phone and made a call, looking serious. The call quickly
went through.
"Mr. Hutchinson, how can I help you?" Speaking on the other side of the phone was a private
investigator who Logan trusted very much. Logan would ask him to investigate whenever he had
anything he wanted to know.
"Do a background check on Clara Selman. She is Horace Kirkland's wife. You know who he is, right?
The president of Solrace Corporation. Find out what happened to her recently. I need to know all her
information as soon as possible. "
"Understood. I'll get to it now." With that, the private investigator hung up the phone.
After the call, Logan's heart was racing. He felt as if he was uncovering a long-hidden truth.
The private investigator soon got back to Logan.
"Mr. Hutchinson, I just found that Clara Selman's mother, Helena Selman, was diagnosed with
leukemia. Clara Selman offered to donate bone marrow to her, but the test results showed that Clara's
bone marrow did not match her mother's. "
"Aunt Helena has leukemia?" Logan was a little shocked to hear that. Didn't Clara told him that Helena
was doing fine earlier today? Clara was indeed hiding something from him.
"Yes. And according to the DNA test report, the probability of paternity is zero. Clara Selman is not
biologically related to Helena Selman at all."
"What? Are you sure?" Logan was even more shocked. If Clara was not Helena's daughter, then where
did Helena's daughter go? What was Clara's identity?
"100% sure!"
Hearing that, suspicion grew in Logan. When he thought of the questions Clara asked him earlier, he
became even more skeptical.
Clara must have known that she was not Helena's biological daughter. But what's the point of inquiring
about the details of Laura's kidnapping case? What did she want to prove?
"Logan, Laura's birthday is coming around, isn't it?" "Did my mother tell you how she found your
sister?"
"Logan, I just want to ask how did you know that the baby my mother brought back is your sister?"
...
Clara's voice echoed in the background of Logan's brain. Clara couldn't be asking him all those
questions for no reason. There must be something wrong with the kidnapping case.
"Aunt Helena and Laura..." Logan mumbled. "Could it be that the baby Aunt Helena brought back isn't
really my sister?"
Logan thought to himself, feeling incredulous.
"Okay. I get it. You know Laura was kidnapped shortly after her birth, right? " Logan asked solemnly.
"Yes."
"Re-investigate the kidnapping case. See if you can track down the kidnappers. I think there must be
something I don't know about.
"Copy that."
"Find out where Helena Selman found the baby she brought back to our family. This is very important."
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Logan clenched his fist, hoping that his speculation wasn't real.
Clara had returned to the hospital.
She had been thinking about what happened today on the whole way back. The way Helena talked to
Laura, how Helena saved Lara and even went to work for the Hutchinson family for Laura, and the fact
that Laura has a birthmark shaped like a butterfly on her waist.
Could it be that Laura was Helena's biological daughter? That was why Helena didn't want to tell Clara
about the whereabouts of her own daughter, right? Helena was afraid of letting everyone know what
she had done back then.
Clara wanted to force the thought out of her head but she couldn't. Every piece of evidence seemed to
point in that direction.
When Clara walked into the ward, Helena was sitting on the hospital bed weeping silently, completely
unaware of Clara's presence.
Although Helena was very happy to see Laura today, she still felt heartbroken when she thought of
Laura's aloof attitude towards her.
