Chapter 297: Chapter 297

Since Anna Thornton just woke up, fearing she might be too emotional, Conrad Sterling planned to tell her about Lola and the paternity test a bit later.

However, it wasn’t long before the police came to take Anna Thornton’s statement.

"Miss Thornton, we fished out the hit-and-run vehicle from the river and discovered a female corpse inside. It has been confirmed as the fugitive Holly Sutton. Can you tell us about the specifics of the incident?"

"The road conditions at the time should be clearer from the traffic surveillance. I lost consciousness after being hit, so I don’t know much," Anna said.

Her body was still weak, and Lola had stayed by her side for a long time before, and now the little kid was asleep next to Anna on the hospital bed.

Not wanting the pair to be disturbed, Conrad Sterling proactively suggested, "I’m also involved, you can ask me anything you want to know, let’s talk over here."

"Mr. Sterling, how did you suddenly appear at the scene of the accident at the time? Did Miss Thornton ask for your help?"

"No, I went to find her, and happened to come across it."

"Is there really such a coincidence?"

"Haven’t you heard of mind connection?"

Some people can sound so earnest with nonsense that it subconsciously feels believable.

Anna felt a headache listening to it and closed her eyes to rest.

"We heard there was a child in the car at the time, the one in front of us, right? Our police analysis shows that Holly Sutton’s first revenge target after escaping prison should have been President Sterling, because you sued her and sent her to prison. But why did she target the woman and child instead?"

"Do you really need to ask this clearly?"

"This involves the issue of excessive defense. We actually know President Sterling, you were rescuing people, but we need to prove Holly Sutton’s intent to harm Miss Thornton, we suggest you explain clearly to avoid trouble."

"Because they are my woman and child!"

Upon hearing this, the police taking notes: "..."

"Wait!" Miss Thornton suddenly opened her eyes, "Conrad Sterling, what did you say? Lola is our child?"

What’s going on now? Don’t even know if the child is theirs?

Seems like there’s a juicy story here!

The police taking notes paused, looking up to await their conversation.

"Excuse us, the following conversation doesn’t involve the case."

"Oh, then we’ll... step aside!"

The two left rather reluctantly.

Anna couldn’t wait and urged, "Conrad Sterling, explain clearly to me! What’s going on with Lola? I just woke up and felt like you were hiding something from me, what is it?"

Since things had come this far, Conrad Sterling couldn’t continue hiding from her.

"Are you ready to hear it?" The man gave a preamble.

"Lola is the child from three years ago, he didn’t die!"

"Is what you say... true?"

Anna wanted to believe it, but didn’t dare to, "How do you know?"

"In the drawer by your bedside, there’s the paternity test report."

Upon hearing this, Anna immediately went to find it, momentarily forgetting about her injury.

"Don’t rush, let me get it for you!" Conrad Sterling frowned. Just as he opened the drawer, Anna impatiently grabbed it with her uninjured hand.

"Lola is my child? What’s going on?"

"Back then, the child you gave birth to in the psychiatric hospital, Holly Sutton lied to you saying it died. Actually, she secretly took it and gave it to her brother William Sutton, who had no children."

Conrad Sterling found this out two hours ago.

After hearing a vehement comment from Holly Sutton, Conrad had already suspected the child might still be alive.

Searching was like finding a needle in a haystack, but once a clue was found, it became easier.

Holly Sutton’s attack on Anna and Lola indicated she wasn’t planning to tell the truth but wanted to destroy everything together.

Fortunately, Conrad Sterling appeared in time to thwart Holly Sutton’s plans!

Fortunately, Lola is alive and has grown up healthy!

Anna no longer knew how to describe her current feelings.

She repeatedly checked the paternity test report and then closely observed the little boy sleeping beside her. Lola slept well, his side face revealing long, dense eyelashes, casting beautiful feather-fan-like shadows under the light, clearly resembling Anna’s lashes.

"I said Lola and Pop look a bit alike, Mary didn’t believe it, saying all kids this age look similar."

"Also, I felt a closeness to Lola the first time I met him, thinking what an interesting little boy this was. So cute, handsome, and capable, what kind of goddess mom could give birth to such a baby? Turns out I’m that mom!"

"So this was my baby, how beautiful! How did I manage to give birth to two such beautiful children? I’m amazing!"

Listening to Anna whispering sweet praises to a sleeping kid, Conrad Sterling: "..."

Anna’s feelings now were just like when Conrad Sterling first saw Pop.

But President Sterling was more restrained, while Anna seemed on the verge of jubilance.

She really loves Lola!

Ever since she found out Lola was her child, Anna hasn’t looked at Conrad Sterling even once. She can spend the whole night just staring at a little sleeping baby.

"Can you really see flowers by just looking at him like that?" President Sterling asked with a lemon in his mouth.

"Shh! Don’t disturb my baby’s sleep!"

"Are you even going to sleep tonight?"

"No sleep! I can’t sleep!"

Conrad knew he shouldn’t have told Anna the truth so early; it disrupted her sleep and her physical recovery.

And really, can such a young child identify his mother through a paternity test?

Although that paternity test was verified without error by Conrad Sterling.

But just the thought that because of this little boy, Anna almost had a car accident and fell into the river.

Conrad always feels like he’s here to collect debts! Dıscover more novels at noⅴelfire.net

The perspective of parents looking at their son is completely different. The more Anna looks, the more she likes him. Conrad, on the other hand, finds him more and more annoying.

Especially annoying when this little guy, while asleep, gets closer and closer to Anna until he finally put his little arm around his mom’s waist.

"If you don’t sleep soon, I’ll have someone take him out!" Conrad Sterling directly threatened Anna.

"Okay, okay! I’ll sleep!"

After lying in bed for a few days, Anna was transferred to Crestlight Hospital under Conrad’s name, staying in the same room as him.

They call it convenient for mutual care.

Actually, it’s because Chase Quinn, a specialist in the previous hospital, visited Anna once, right?

"Miss Thornton, could you please talk to President Sterling? Right now, probably only you can persuade him. We can’t stop him from leaving the hospital. President Sterling’s knife wound hasn’t healed completely. Several times the stitches have just torn open. He should be resting quietly, not standing for long periods or lifting heavy weights. Yet, that day, President Sterling experienced a collision, and carried you all the way to the hospital, without noticing his wound was bleeding."

"Is it that serious?"

"The chances of infection from repeated tearing of the wound are very high. It’s really serious. If you don’t believe it, I can show you the photo of President Sterling’s wound on the day it was stitched. The rip was larger than the previous one. Alas, the new flesh was just growing back, please persuade him."

Anna suspected that this suddenly chatty little nurse was sent by Conrad Sterling.

Her real purpose was not to get her to persuade Conrad Sterling, but to make them feel sorry for President Sterling to gain Anna’s sympathy.

"I understand. I’ll talk to him when I get back."

Anna agreed and then managed to get away.

She walked back to the hospital room’s door and peeked inside first.

Anna and Conrad were both injured and hospitalized, so of course Lola was staying with them these days.

But Lola only played with Anna. When she wasn’t around, the father and son just did their own things without any communication at all.

As soon as Anna returned, Lola brought her freshly squeezed juice for mommy to drink.

"You’re such a good boy!" Anna patted Lola’s head, "Mommy just called Aunt Mary. She’s bringing Pop over from Aethelgard today. You can see your little sister this afternoon. Are you excited?"

Lola nodded. Although it didn’t show on the surface how excited she was, she was really looking forward to it in her heart.

Just like someone in the room right now, who seemed indifferent to Anna and Lola’s interaction, completely ignoring him, but was actually feeling quite jealous inside.

"Conrad Sterling, why are you staring at me? Are you thirsty too?"

Anna asked Lola, "Sweetheart, your freshly squeezed juice is so good. Is there more?"

Lola shook his head, "No more!"

Anna clearly saw there was still half a cup in the juicer.

Lola poured the remaining half cup from the juicer and handed it to Dr. Quinn, who had just walked in.

Chase was caught off guard, facing Conrad Sterling’s eyes blazing with jealousy, yet he didn’t know whether to be gentlemanly or deliberately provoking, he asked, "President Sterling, should I drink this then?"

"If you can swallow it!"

"This juice has such a lovely green color; it should be avocado mixed with kiwi juice. It must be delicious, why wouldn’t I be able to swallow it?"

Chase said, eagerly taking a sip, only to almost spit it out.

The slap in the face came as fast as a tornado!

Anna’s cup was indeed kiwi juice, very tasty.

But the cup in his hand must be bitter melon juice, mixed with all sorts of random flavors making it so unpleasant it made him question life.

Had he not wanted to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, Chase would definitely have spit it out.

But right in front of Anna, he gulped down the strange bitter melon juice and gave a disingenuous compliment, "Not bad!"

"Is it really good?" Anna looked at him, his face had turned green.

If Conrad Sterling wasn’t keeping up his icy image in front of outsiders, he would have laughed out loud.

Unfortunately, they’re not on the same level, and it’s unnecessary to squabble with him.

But he still gave Lola an appreciative look, truly takes after his father.

"Anna, I have something to tell you. Can we talk alone?"

"Uh..." Anna glanced at Conrad’s expression, "The doctor said I need more rest."

Chase Quinn wasn’t unaware of the situation. After the last incident, Conrad Sterling had given him a warning, and he knew he couldn’t compete with someone of President Sterling’s status.

The reason he daringly visited Anna after she was transferred was because he truly had something important to tell her.

"About Holly Sutton’s death!" Chase explained in a whisper that only he and Anna could hear, "I think it should be very important to you!"
