Chapter 520: Chapter 520
It was late at night when Eleanor Sterling’s experiment finally ended.
The results were out.
Alaric Faulkner was indeed Estelle Sterling’s father, which also proved that Caleb Faulkner was her own child.
Eleanor’s eyes stung with tears welling up, she hadn’t expected such a big blunder.
After all this time, Caleb was her son.
This also explained why she felt such a special connection upon seeing Caleb.
A mother’s intuition, that was why they sensed each other’s presence.
Turns out, her body’s emotions were already telling her; it was just that she hadn’t thought it through carefully and thus overlooked it.
Eleanor furrowed her brows, still plagued by numerous doubts.
If Caleb was her son, why did he become Faye’s child? Did Faye Sterling steal her child and take him to the Faulkner Family?
Eleanor’s memory drifted back to seven years ago.
The day she gave birth...
At that time, she lay helpless in the delivery room, then fainted due to Faye’s provocation.
Faye even showed her some broken flesh, claiming it was her child.
Even after so many years, Eleanor still remembered that heart-wrenching feeling.
Thinking both children were gone, the obstetrics director, driven by greed, hid Estelle and made a deal with her...
The obstetrics director told her the other was a girl, and she had never doubted it.
Now thinking back, it’s highly likely she feared Eleanor would discover the truth, confront Faye, and expose everything, bringing out her own secrets as well.
So back then, she actually gave birth to two boys, Estelle and Caleb!
Thinking about Caleb made Eleanor’s heart surge with excitement.
Suddenly, she remembered what Estelle had told her, that Caleb often suffered abuse from Faye.
A trace of fierceness flashed through her eyes.
For Faye to be so cruel and ruthless, doing such things, Eleanor would never let her go!
Should she tell Alaric Faulkner about this? Eleanor thought of the toxins found in Alaric’s blood.
In that case, would Estelle’s and Caleb’s blood also be toxic?
No, she had to extract their blood and check again!
Thus, Eleanor immersed herself in a new round of examinations.
At that moment, Alaric Faulkner had already finished his work and turned to ask Elijah Hayes beside him.
"Where did Eleanor go?"
Elijah lowered his head and replied, "President Faulkner, Miss Sterling didn’t allow anyone to follow her."
Alaric pinched his brow in slight exasperation.
Eleanor took his blood sample and then disappeared for half a day; she must have found a place to do the testing.
Could it be that she had seen through her own feelings and started to care about Caleb’s identity, which is why she took his blood for verification?
Alaric smiled bitterly, his eyes showing some helplessness.
He too had often hoped that Caleb wasn’t born from Faye’s womb.
With a cold and sombre face, Alaric ordered, "Find out where Eleanor is."
He couldn’t let Eleanor get stuck in a dead end by herself. Since they already had mutual understanding, there was no need to be overly troubled by such insoluble issues.
Ten minutes later, Elijah informed Alaric of Eleanor’s location.
He grabbed his coat and got up to head outside.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Eleanor had completed the testing.
Relaxing a bit as she looked at the test results. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✶fire.net
Alaric’s blood contained toxins, but Estelle’s did not. Next, she would test Caleb’s and Jasper Faulkner’s.
Once she had Caleb’s blood sample, she would verify once more if he was truly her child.
Although Eleanor was overjoyed, she was extremely cautious, or perhaps too astonished, hesitant to believe, fearing it was just a dream.
