Chapter 235

“Parents?” Adeline chuckled coldly, devoid of emotion. “Are you asking about my biological parents, or the ones who dumped me in the trash can?”

Elliot remained silent.

At Feliz Gastro House.

The information Elliot had shared wasn’t immediately passed on to Daphne by Julie. Instead, she began scouring the internet for news about Chris.

As she was deep in her reading, her phone suddenly buzzed.

The number was one she had jotted down in Kieran’s office earlier. It was Kyle’s number. Kyle calling at this time puzzled Julie, but she picked up the call anyway.

“Kyle.”

“Joyce, it’s me.” His voice was low and steady on the other end of the line.

Julie asked, “Kyle, what’s up?”

“Sansa…” Upon mentioning the name, Kyle paused before asking, “Which hospital is she in?”

“Kyle, you want to see her?”

“Mm.” His response was monotone, void of emotion. But Julie could imagine that he must be quite on edge right now.

After a moment, he asked, “Would you come with me? Where are you? I’ll come pick you up.”

If what Dylan had said was true, then Kyle already had a girlfriend before he met Sansa. But he ended up with Sansa, almost marrying her. After they broke up, disappeared.

Julie wasn’t sure whether Kyle was a good guy or not, and she didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to see Sansa – whether he was genuine, or had other motives. But she knew Kyle was stubborn. If he really wanted to see Sansa, he would, even if she tried to stop him.

So, Julie asked Kyle, “Where are you now?”

“I’m in the building opposite you. Black BMW, license plate ends with 23. Kyle provided detailed information.

Julie looked out the window and indeed, across the street, there was a parked black car. Although she couldn’t clearly see the license plate number, her gut told her it was Kyle’s car.

His previous response was ‘I’m in the building opposite you. He had already 100% confirmed his location, but redundantly asked her where she was again.

Julie told Kyle on the other end of the phone, “Hold on a sec, I need to go to the restroom.”
