Julien gave Zach a cold sidelong glance, signaling him to shut up.
Zach shrugged and closed his mouth.
Only when Julien had seen Sydney and her assistant enter the room did he turn around and return to the elevator hall.
He already knew in which room she was. That was enough.
Then he should go back to his room.
The next day.
Sharon woke up Sydney because they would go to the hospital in a while.
She had already prepared the toothbrush and towel for Sydney.
So, when she entered the bathroom, Sydney could immediately brush her teeth and wash her face, saving the trouble of feeling around to look for such things herself.
No doubt, asking Sharon to company her to South Lake was a right decision.
The doorbell rang at this time
Sharon turned her head and called to the bathroom, "President Raines, someone is at the door. I'll open the door."
"Go open it," Sydney spat out the foams in her mouth and responded.
Sharon walked to the door, but she looked through the peephole first. Seeing that it was a hotel worker, she then opened the door.
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Raines?" the hotel worker asked with a smile.
Sharon shook her head and answered, "No, I'm not, but Ms. Raines is my boss."
"The thing is that Mr. Flint has just ordered breakfast for Ms. Raines. Please receive it, Miss." As she spoke, she pushed out a dining cart from the side.
There were a few plates on the cart, but all of them were covered, and nothing could be seen.
Sharon raised her brows and said, "Okay, got it."
The hotel worker let Sharon handle the cart before she turned and left.
Sharon pushed the cart into the room and saw Sydney coming out of the bathroom with her hands on the wall supporting herself.
Hearing the noise of the cart wheels, Sydney stopped and asked, "Who was it, Sharon?"
"A hotel worker came to send breakfast," Sharon pushed the cart to Sydney and answered.
Slightly surprised, Sydney asked, "You’ve ordered breakfast! I thought about ordering it after I washed up and came out."
"No, I haven't. This is what the big shot who wants to pursue you ordered," Sharon pointed up and said.
Sydney couldn't see anything, but she immediately realized who Sharon meant. She pursed her lips and asked, "Julien
Flint?"
"Yes!" Sharon nodded and lifted off the covers. Seeing the wonderful breakfast, she could not help but wow twice. "Great!
President Raines, come and have breakfast.
"No, you eat it." Sydney shook her head.
Sharon put down the covers, walked to her, and helped her walk toward the dining table. "Come on, this breakfast is free.
Ordered food can't be returned. This is the hotel rule. I can't finish them all by myself, and it's a huge waste to dump them! I know why you don't accept the dishes. At most, we’ll pay him later."
As she spoke, Sharon put a spoon in Sydney's hand.
Then Sydney felt it was unsuitable to either put it down or keep holding it. In the end, she was persuaded and sat down. "Use my phone to transfer him the money in a while." "Okay." Sharon nodded as she drank the milk.
After breakfast, the two of them went to the biggest hospital in South Lake.
Sydney was born here twenty-six years ago.
Her father had said that when he came to South Lake to do business, her pregnant mother came here with him. Then her mother gave birth to her here.
She really wanted to know why the baby Luke saw for the first time was different from the one he saw for the second.
She felt this was important.
If she could not find it out, she would feel uneasy.
After a while, the archives room opened, and the archivist came out with a yellowed file. "Ms. Raines, the information you want to consult is here. This file has all the records about your mother's childbirth at our hospital back then."
Hearing that, Sydney immediately stood up and said, "Thank you."
She felt around and took the file from the archivist.
Sharon said, "Let me read it for you, President Raines."
"Okay, thank you." Sydney instantly passed the file over.
Sharon took the file and carefully opened it.
She had to be careful. Twenty-six years had passed, and the paper of the file was now easy to break. Even a little careless leafing would destroy it.
Twenty-six years ago, the computer was still not a household thing. At that time, almost all the records were written on paper. Therefore, if this file was destroyed, everything would be gone because there was no backup.
"Have you read it, Sharon?" Sydney asked anxiously.
Sharon leafed through it carefully. "I'm reading it, President Raines. Don't worry. The record says that on July 6 twenty-six years ago, your mother, Madam Raines, gave birth to a 2.3kg baby girl at this hospital." "Then? Did they take home the wrong child?” Sydney pressed with clenched fists.
This was what now she wanted to know most.
"If they had taken home the wrong child, my parents would come to the hospital and ask them to contact the other couple who also had taken home the wrong child, and they would record the mix-up case in the file."
"Wait a minute. Let me check it out."
Sharon continued to leaf through the file, but shook her head. "No, there are no mix-up records in the file, but there are a lot of baby exam reports. All the reports say that the baby was not healthy. President Raines, it turns out you were so weak and unhealthy when you were a baby."
Sydney pursed her lips and said, "I don't know about it. My parents have never told me that, but this is not important. The point is: why is there no mix-up record?" "If there's no mix-up record, it means I was never the wrong baby. Then who was the baby without the red mole Luke saw for the first time?" she wondered.
