After all, Yvette had been in a relationship with Ian back then. On top of that, he even stayed single for life because of her, so everyone naturally brought Ian into the picture.
They completely didn't notice that Ian had said just now that she was a daughter of the Smiths.
Nora didn't know any of this, though. She was still frowning and thinking about what had happened back then.
She hadn't just been sleeping all this time she was at the Andersons'.
Occasionally, she would look through what her mother had left behind.
Some of the books even contained notes and interpretations that her mother had made.
Through those writings, she had gained a general understanding of Yvette's character.
The woman was aggressive and stubborn by nature. In the patriarchal environment back then, it was definitely no easy feat to rise to the challenge and become the head of the Andersons.
How would a woman like that possibly get together with Ian's brother while she was in a relationship with him?
If she had really fallen in love with Ian's brother... Given her personality, she would have simply gotten together with that man instead, and been as decisive as how she had rejected Justin's father. Why would she run away from home after she became pregnant and flee New York?
She couldn't help feeling that her mother didn't seem like someone who would do that.
When the party came to an end, Nora got Melissa to take Cherry home while she followed Justin to the hospital to visit Ian.
After all, they hadn't sorted out the issues they were talking about just now. They hadn't told her which of Ian's brothers her father was yet.
It was already late when they arrived at the hospital.
Joel sat quietly in the hallway late at night. He seemed to know that the two of them would come over, so he was waiting for them.
Ian was already asleep.
Joel said, "You can just ask me if you have any questions because I was the one who handled everything."
Nora lowered her head. "1 want to know how you got my DNA samples."
Joel said unhurriedly, "Someone took a few strands of your hair when you were at the medical university the other time. The person I sent to protect you happened to be nearby, so he chased after the person and snatched the hair from him."
"... Then have you guys ever considered that the hair might have been switched?" asked Nora.
Joel was a little taken aback by her suggestion.
Nora looked at the ward and said slowly but firmly, "1 want to redo the DNA test."
This particular floor was where the VIP wards were. Joel had booked the whole floor so that Ian could rest and recover better, so there was no one else in the quiet hospital corridor at the moment.
Right after Nora spoke firmly, a sinister and displeased voice reached them. "There's no way the hair could have been switched. My professionalism is not to be doubted!"
Nora looked up to see someone slowly walking toward them from the darkness in front
There was no way Nora would have noticed him while he stood there. It was as if he had blended into the darkness.
But the moment he appeared, Nora immediately sensed his presence.
