When Gina talked about the things in the past, her whole mental state seemed to have changed.
She was pushed away by a police officer. When she heard me calling her, she turned to look at me and said, "I will never tell you! Ha-ha-ha!"
With a wild laugh, Gina was taken away.
I sat there and my heart was in a mess.
How could it be?
"I can't believe it... I'm not her daughter."
But in this way, a lot of things could make sense.
Previously, I suspected that if one of the twins was kept, how could the other be lost by mistake?
It turned out that Gina had only given birth to one child.
When I was sitting inside, Shelton came in. He patted me on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I..." I looked up at him with a complicated expression. "Gina said that I am not her biological daughter. My mother is someone else."
After hearing my words, Shelton was a little surprised. "How could it be?"
"I don't think it's possible, but that's the truth. And think about it, Caroline and I are twins. How stupid could a hospital be as to take one of the two children to the orphanage?"
"How did she tell you?"
Shelton asked.
I looked at the door that Gina had pushed open to leave. Hesitating for a moment, I said, "Let's talk outside."
My mind was in chaos and I couldn't think at all.
As Shelton left with me and stood outside the detention center, I told him what Gina said just now.
When I finished, I looked at him and said in a pleading tone, "Could you help me find my biological mother?"
"Sure." Shelton agreed without any hesitation.
At the same time, he reached out to my shoulder and pulled me into his arms. "Don't worry. I'll help you find out everything."
"Thank you."
I got in the car with Shelton.
Sitting in the car and looking at the fine weather outside, I remembered what Gina had said. "I was taken away by someone from my mother's family, so my mother didn't abandon me."
"So, does she miss me too?"
"Does she also want to see me?"
Thinking of this, I looked at Shelton. "Can we find out where I was bom and things about my mother?"
After all, I was about to leave City Y.
"Okay. Let's do this." Shelton didn't mean to refuse my request in the slightest. He patted my hand and said gently, "Don't worry. I will definitely help you."
"Than..."
When I was about to say this word, Shelton pressed his right index finger against my lips.
He shook his head. "We'll soon become husband and wife. You don't have to say that to me."
Husband and wife.
Hearing these words, I felt uneasy and nodded slightly.
Shelton made a phone call and soon found out the information about the hospital where I was born. It was in a very remote civil hospital in the suburbs of City Y.
However, when I had a little hope, Shelton told me that this hospital had closed down since long ago.
When the place was under development a few years ago, even the building had been demolished, and it was changed into a shopping mall.
