In the baby incubator room, Francine put both of her hands on the glass partition wall to get a better look at Corinne's twins.
"Grandma, Grandma, look! They're so cute! The baby girl looks more like Jeremy while the baby boy looks more like Corinne," she said excitedly.
Pamela's eyes naturally filled with happy tears when she saw her great-grandchildren. However, that did not stop her from frowning. Unlike the simple-headed Francine, she had more things to worry about.
She turned to Xante after taking a look at her great-grandchildren and said, "Child, I know you're an old friend of Corinne's, and I also know what happened. But just to confirm, are you sure my grandson, Jeremy, really took one of the babies away while Corinne was giving birth?"
Xante nodded gravely. "Yes. We all saw him do it."
Pamela frowned. "But we had looked into the matter already. While it was true Jeremy bought a return ticket back on the day Corinne was giving birth, he didn't get on the plane. There was no immigration record of him coming back to the country, either. How can a person who didn't come back appear in Corinne's delivery room?"
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. Thinking that Pamela was making up some excuse for Jeremy, Xante coldly said, "Miss Pamela, there's no reason for me to lie to you. Miss Annie was also there on the scene when it happened. And if you don't believe her, you can check the hospital's surveillance footage to see if Mister Jeremy was the one who stole the first baby from the delivery room."
Xante narrowed her eyes. Both she and Aaron also found out Jeremy did not board the plane, but they did not know the plane had crashed into the sea. They did not care about the plane's fate after finding out Jeremy was not on it.
Thus, Xante was surprised at the news.
"Could it be that someone is trying to make us think Jeremy died in a plane crash, but you were able to find out he didn't board the plane before they could falsify the records?"
