The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1240

"What's the result?"

Nathaniel developed suspicions about Aria's identity as well, but he didn't give it a deep thought. It was very likely that Mango was going to do something by investigating over the matter.

Nathaniel fully supported his wife about the things she was going to do.

The subordinate quickly continued, "We've taken Aria's blood sample to appraise with Valentina's parents. Aria is the child of the Brass family. Meanwhile, Mrs. Brass did mention that they had another daughter when Valentina was ten years old, but she was announced to be suffocated to death two days after her birth. At that time, the hospital had its own record regarding this incident."

"Suffocation? After she was born for two days? Well, why would Aria still exist?"

According to the time given, Aria was eighteen years old at that time. Valentina passed away around nine years ago while she was born when Valentina was at the age of ten. It seemed that Aria's identity did match with the time point.

Nathaniel frowned and pondered for a moment and asked, "Who did Aria and Valentina look alike?"

"It's Mr. Brass. Both of them look like their father."

As the subordinate spoke, he handed Mr. Brass' photo to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel had seen Valentina before but he was still stunned upon looking at the photo.

Valentina looked much like her father, while Aria looked very similar to her at first glance. However, her eyes were still slightly different when one looked closer at her.

Aria's eyes looked similar as her mother.

"Are you sure? Since Aria's death had been identified from suffocation back then, how could she appear in the Morganfield abroad?"

Nathaniel's words made his men send him the details.

"According to our people, the doctor and nurse who were involved in delivering the baby were bribed back then. They told the parents of the Brass family that their baby had died of asphyxiation. Generally speaking, all the newborn babies looked almost the same. Therefore they replaced the baby with another baby who died of suffocation. Back then, the Brass couple were in grief that they didn't think of doing any analysis. After all, no one would expect that someone in the

main hospital would do such a deed. Hence, the matter had fizzled out at that time. Mrs. Brass even went through depression for a long period before she went out from the aftershock. The whole family didn't dare to mention the incident of the child in front of her anymore. Over time, everyone had forgotten it and never mentioned it again."

Nathaniel listened quietly, but he was brain storming.

"Did the doctor and nurse who took bribes mentioned the person behind who instigated them to do so?"

"They claimed that they didn't know the person, it was said that she was an outsiders who was in charge of human- trafficking and intended to cooperate with them. At that time, the woman paid a lot of money to them, so they were tempted and wanted to use their duties will to sell several children, but the woman had never appeared since then."

The remarks from the subordinate made Nathaniel frown.

"A woman?"

"Yes. They said that it was a woman in her forties who instructed them to do so. She spoke in a foreign accent and was seemingly a people smuggler. After all, the woman claimed that she worked on the overseas line. As long as they sell the baby to her, she would take the child abroad and sell it. She promise that it wouldn't affect

them, only then they were willing to take the risk."

Nathaniel's eyes became chiller.

It was simply an unforgivable sin to those medical staffs who were involved in human- trafficking activities. They were unconscionable by taking advantage of selling the babies when those maternal mothers were looking frail after giving birth.

"Was Aria the only child taken away back then?"

"Not really. According to them, they sold roughly eight newborn babies around the week. They had felt repressive over Aria as the other parents of those eight babies didn't react as furious as Mrs. Brass though they felt grieved as well. Rumors said that Mrs. Brass almost hit herself into the wall and wished to suffocate with the baby back then as it had been in her belly for too long. At that time, Mrs. Brass did give birth to her baby through natural delivery for four days but in vain. She had to choose Caesarean section in the end and had always felt remorse as she thought that it was her own mistakes that caused the death of her baby. Hence, she simply couldn't accept the fact. Since

then, Mrs. Brass had suffered from severe depression. She tried committing self-mutilation and suicide every day at that time. Mr. Brass didn't manage to check on their baby who was said to be dead of suffocation in order to take care of her. This incident had simply gotten over in this way."

A flame of anger arisen from Nathaniel's body.

As he was also a father, he certainly knew the hardship of a mother to conceive her baby for ten months. How could a mother withstand the fact that her baby was sold like a product after she had given labor to and even told that her baby had died of suffocation?

He thought of his two unborn babies.

For a moment, Nathaniel could feel that his heart was swelling with uneasiness.

"Check it out for me! Regardless of any approach, you have to make the doctor and nurses to find out the human trafficker. It's fine if she has received the punishment. Well, if this woman is still impunity and continues to commit such a wicked crime, then first break her hands and feet before throwing her to the police station."

"Yes."

Upon hearing his words, the subordinate nodded and walked out of the room.

Mango had woken up at some point. She leaned against the door and smiled while looking at

Nathaniel, who behaved resolute.

She had always known that Nathaniel had a good nature.

Seemingly to realize that someone was looking at him from behind, Nathaniel turned his head quickly and caught Mango's smiling eyes.

Her eyes were like the spring breeze blown across Nathaniel which soften his heart.

"Why don't you get more sleep?"

"I can't see your decisiveness if I do."

Mango walked down with a faint smile.

Nathaniel pulled up her clothes to prevent her from catching a cold, and then lamented, "I've never expected it to be a people smuggler."

"Yeah, I came across some news a few days ago saying that the smugglers are particularly rampant nowadays, especially those medical staff who had been involved in the activities, which is indeed abhorrence. Meanwhile, Valentina's hometown ought to be a rural town. I've no idea about the medical conditions there, but the emergence of such medical staff is truly terrifying. Since it's now confirmed that Aria is Valentina's biological sister, what are you going to do after this?"
