Chapter 388


    Toby looked at him coldly, telling him to shut up.


    Tom shrugged, but he said nothing else.


    After he saw them going into their room, he turned around and walked to the elevator. Now that he


    knew where they were staying, there was no point being there anymore. Time to go back to my


    room.


    Reba woke Sonia up the next day, since they had to go to the hospital. Reba prepared the


    toothbrush and towel for her, so Sonia could wash herself up right after she went to the bathroom.


    There was no need to rummage around. Yep. Bringing Reba along was the right decision.


    It was then someone rang the doorbell. Reba shouted in Sonia’s direction, “Someone’s here,


    Miss Reed. I’ll take the door.” “Okay.” Sonia spat the toothpaste out.


    Reba looked through the peephole to see who it was. After she realized it was just the hotel


    staff, she opened the door. “Yes?”


    “Are you Miss Reed?” The staff smiled.


    Reba shook her head. “No, but she’s my boss.”


    “One Mr. Fuller ordered room service for her. Can you sign here, please?” The staff member pushed


    a breakfast cart out.


    There were a few tes on it but they were covered, so the contents were unknown.


    Reba arched her eyebrow. “I see.”


    The staff member handed the cart over to her and left.


    When Reba came in, Sonia just came out of the bathroom by feeling the wall.


    When she heard the creak of the cart’s wheel, Sonia stopped. “Who was it?”


    “The hotel’s staff member. He came to deliver our breakfast.” Reba pushed the cart to the dining


    table.


    Sonia was surprised to hear that. “You already ordered breakfast? I was going to order once I was


    done washing up.”


    “This isn’t me. It’s from a certain someone who loves you.” Reba pointed at the roof.


    Sonia couldn’t see where she was pointing, but she knew what Reba was talking about. “This is


    from Toby?” She pursed her lips.


    “Yep.” Reba nodded and took the lids away. When she saw the scrumptious breakfast, she


    gasped. “Not bad. Let’s dig in, miss.”


    “No. You can eat it yourself.” Sonia shook her head.


    Reba put the lids down and went to Sonia to take her toward the dining table. “Oh, don’t do that.


    This is a free breakfast. Don’t waste it. The hotel


    epts no refunds, I can’t finish it alone, and I don’t want to waste food. I know why you don’t want


    to ept it, but we can pay him backter.” Reba stuffed a spoon into her hand.


    Sonia couldn’t throw her offer away just like that, so she gave in and sat down. “Pay him back using


    my pher.”


    “Sure.” Reba nodded as she drank the milk.


    After breakfast, they went to the biggest hospital in Norfolk, where Sonia was born twenty-six years


    ago. Her father said he had gone to Norfolk for business, and her then-pregnant mother had


    insisted on going with him. In the end, her water broke, and Sonia was born. I have to find out if I


    was switched at birth.


    Back at the hotel, Toby was upset when he found out that Sonia was gone. He knew Carl had


    another show that morning, and he thought Sonia was for sure going to see it before going back.


    Tom nced at his frustrated boss and adjusted his sses. “Are we going to the show, sir?”


    “No.” Toby frowned. It’s just a bunch of guys on a runway. “Send two men over to keep an eye on


    her. Don’t let anyone bump into her.” Toby pinched the area between his brows. Sonia might have


    Reba with her, but she was just one person. There was a limit to her, especially when it came to


    crowded ces. Sonia couldn’t see, so she might bump into someone.


    “Yes sir.” Tom nodded.


    But when Tom’s men didn’t find Sonia after they went to the runway, Toby realized Sonia didn’t


    attend the show at all.


    That worried him. If she isn’t there, then where is she? Did someone take her away ? Or is she


    attending to her own matters''? He had a lot of questions, but he knew what he must do. Toby


    narrowed his eyes and ordered, “I want you to look into this. Find out where she is.” He would not


    rest until he found where she was.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Tom knew Sonia’s disappearance could mean some serious stuff was going on, so he obliged at


    once.


    On the other hand, Sonia was standing outside the file room in the hospital, waiting nervously. After


    all, the case happened more than twenty years ago, so it’d take some time for the admin to dig out


    the relevant files.


    She sped her hands, looking scared. Reba noticed that, so she calmed Sonia, “Take it easy,


    Miss Reed. I know you’re the Reeds’ daughter. I’m sure of it.”


    Sonia smiled. “I think so too. There’s no reason why my parents loved me so much otherwise, but I


    just want to verify some things for myself.” She wanted to know why Charles saw a different baby


    on his second visit. She had a hunch that the answer behind that was important. If she couldn’t


    figure it out, it’d haunt her forever.


    A whileter, the admin came out of the room, holding a yellowing file. “Here’s the file you want,


    miss. It’s the record of


    your birth twenty-six years ago.”


    Sonia stood up. “Thank you.” She felt around for the file, then took it from the admin.


    Reba said, “I’ll help you, miss.”


    “Sure. Thank you.” Sonia handed her the file.


    Reba took it and opened it carefully. Of course she did. It had been twenty-six years, and the


    paper could crumble at any given moment. If she exerted too much force, it could turn into a fine


    powder. PCs weren’t that essible back then, so all the records were written on paper. If she


    ruined the one she was holding, there would be no backup files topensate for it.


    “What does it say, Reba?” Sonia asked urgently.


    Reba was flipping through it carefully. “I’m reading it. Calm down, miss. This record says that


    twenty six years ago, Mrs. Reed—that’s your mother—gave birth to a female baby that weighed 2.3


    kilograms on the sixth of July.” “And? Was the baby switched?” Sonia clenched her fists. That was


    the most pressing question. If she was switched at birth, her parents would havee back and


    told the staff to contact the other couple, not to mention that this detail would have been recorded


    as well.


    “Let me take a look.” Reba kept flipping, then shook her head. “No. Nothing of the likes


    happened, but there are a lot of checkup reports here. They said the baby wasn’t healthy. Wow, you


    were a sick child, Miss Reed.”


    Sonia pursed her lips. “I have no idea if that’s true. My parents never told me that, but that’s not the


    point. The point is, why isn’t there any record of the babies getting switched?” If that’s true, then I


    was not switched at birth. So who was the baby Charles saw? Who was the baby without the


    birthmark?
