Alina glared at Danny, who was being snarky, and pinched the face that mirrored Johnny's exactly.
"I haven't forgotten about you, heartless kid. The moment things got messy, you hightailed it!"
But secretly, she felt relieved that Danny had sprinted off earlier. If Johnny had seen him, he might've pieced together his identity.
Genetics were undeniably powerful. She couldn't believe her son looked so much like Johnny. It was precisely why she didn't want to bring Danny back.
However, Danny had no clue what Alina was talking about. He didn't remember ditching Alina. Escorted downstairs by a few bodyguards, he would've been kidnapped if he hadn't bitten someone and bolted. Otherwise, there was no way he could've seen Alina by now.
Alina took Danny out of the police station, got into the car, and noticed an extra email in her inbox.
"Hello, Night, I'm Johnny."
Seeing the subject line, Alina raised an eyebrow slightly.
She opened the email and skimmed through it. The gist was that Johnny was seeking Night's help for a medical issue, and he was willing to pay whatever it took, no matter how steep the medical expenses were. It was forwarded to Alina by her assistant, Amy. Night had been renowned for treating major illnesses and surgeries in recent years, hailed as a miracle worker, Dr. Miracle.
Night remained incredibly mysterious, with no known contact details or even an estimated age. People only knew that she probably was a woman.
Johnny had been searching for her for years, sending countless emails, all of which Alina had ignored.
She remembered at the party today, Johnny seemed to be there to find Night.
Amy called. "Alina, this Johnny is persistent. I declined again, saying you're unavailable."
"Okay."
In that grand mansion, Johnny gazed at the soundly sleeping Laura. 'Thank goodness Laura's okay. I wouldn't have let that woman off easy if something happened,' he thought.
Then he gave Drake a stern talking-to, but Drake looked utterly confused, not catching a word Johnny said. He admitted sneaking out with his sister was wrong, but he couldn't understand why Johnny accused him of peeing on him. He didn't remember anything like that happening.
After scolding the kids, Johnny noticed an extra email in the inbox, a reply from Night's end.
