Chapter 528 - 528: The Conjecture
Selma Payne’s POV:
I set off with worry, unable to stop trying to guess the relationship between the two. I secretly ordered people to make a blood report for Sisley and little Sunflower, but the final data stopped at a very ambiguous range.
“Generally speaking, the test results are enough to show that the two have a very close blood relationship,” he explained. “However, during the test, the equipment had inexplicable faults and changes, which forced us to do a few more tests just in case. However, there were large and small accidents during every test. This is obviously beyond the scope of medicine, so we sought help from the werewolf grandmasters – “
1 rubbed my tired eyebrows and interrupted him, “Get to the point, Craig.”
Undeniably, he was an excellent doctor, but he was clumsy and often couldn’t catch the main point. I usually didn’t feel anything, but 1 couldn’t help but feel irritated at this critical moment.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness,” he said, flustered. He tried to calm himself down and said, “In short, there is a special form of energy in the blood of Mr. Evaria and young Sunflower. It is that which interferes with the normal operation of the instrument and causes the results to be erratic. Even the werewolf grandmasters’ sorcery was disrupted because of this, and it was impossible to determine the blood relationship between the two accurately.”
“… What did Sisley say?”
“Uh, Mr. Evaria said that he did not know of little Sunflower’s existence and that he was his father s youngest child. He had been single and maintained the habit of keeping himself clean.
“That’s why he’s talking nonsense with you.”
“This is beyond my capabilities, Your Highness. I’m just a doctor.”
“… Yes, I was too impatient. Thank you, Craig. There’s no need for the blood test anymore. We ll talk about it after I get back.”
After 1 hung up, I once again felt an indescribable fatigue. I thought 1 was working hard to decipher it, but more secrets came one after another. 1 solved one, and ten more jumped out, waiting for me.
I didn’t care if Ashley and little Sunflower were brothers or father and son. I was more concerned about issues other than ethics.
If the two were father and son, then it would be easier for me to worry about them. Judging from his age, the Evaria Family had only been able to use his sperm for a very short time, and their technology was very primitive.
As such, Lester’s research facility was most likely their main experimental base. I didn’t have to worry that this crazy family would have more bases to harm more women and cause more trouble for the royal family.
However, if the two were brothers, then it would be troublesome. Twenty years had passed between Sislet and little Sunflower. Were these two children the only ones born in these twenty years?
Their biological father might not have lost his fertility. Even if the Evaria Family could no longer conduct human experiments, couldn’t they return to the most natural and honest form?
More children meant more people coveting the throne, more mind-controlling ability users, and more trouble that was harder to solve.
Just thinking about it gave me a headache.
The Evaria Family was a rotten sore that went deep into the bone. If it were removed, it would be a pain in the heart. I pretended to let them off the hook to find out where Azazel was. Now that such a thing had happened, I simply couldn’t eat.
Rhode instantly saw through my mind.
On this return trip, 1 only stopped at the Shadow Pack for a while to see my foster parents and brothers. Rhode didn’t seem to be troubled by love. He accepted that Emma had broken up with him and didn’t mention their engagement.
Since he didn’t mention it, 1 couldn’t bring it up. No matter if Rhode had let it go or if he were pretending to let it go, 1 would only scratch at his scars if I rashly brought it up.
Compared to the worried me, Aldrich and law’s relationship was more pleasant. Aldrich’s training partner also changed from me to Rhode.
“Today, Aldrich also asked me about you because of your absent-minded state.”
At night, Aldrich told me.
“I don’t know if I should tell you about Sisley and little Sunflower, so I only told Rhode that you didn’t rest well because of the long journey.”
We snuggled together, and Aldrich’s warm body made me feel at ease.
“Thank you, my dear. Let’s not talk about this with Rhode for now.” I sighed. “This is complicated and confusing. There’s no conclusion, and it concerns the bloodline of the royal family. 1 trust Rhode, but the fewer people who know about this, the better.”
That child… To be fair, when it came to our ages, I was not old enough to call him a child’.
In short, there must be something that Sisley was hiding from me, and his parents might not be his parents. I’d checked the family line of that couple, and they could be traced back to many generations of ancestors, so it was impossible for them to be the descendants of the illegitimate child who appeared suddenly.
The only reason I could think of for having his fake parents take care of him was the Evaria Family wanted to protect the identity of the father who had provided the sperm, and it was likely that, like young Sunflower, he was born through abnormal means..
