Bodyguard said, "We should track down the surgeon who operated on her to see if she remembers anything."
Director asked, "Do you recall the name of the doctor?"
Bodyguard said, "How could I? She was all decked out in a cap and mask, I didn't even get a clear look at her face."
Director said, "I can go down the list and ask each obstetrician if any of them remember Ms. Dennis."
However, Elijah walked away. He already knew the answer.
Violette probably didn't abort the baby, and Ian, he could very well be his son. But what was the point of knowing the truth? He hurt Ian. There was no way Ian would forgive him.
Violette never planned to tell him about the child in the first place, so she surely wouldn't help him now.

He got in his car and hit the gas. He stopped at Silverleaf Ridge. After getting out, he walked up to Violette's front door.
A red BMW caught his eye. It seemed to be Odette's car.
He rang the doorbell. After a while, Odette appeared with Rita in tow.
"Are you here for Violette? She's not home." Odette said from inside the door.
