Chapter 1240


    "What''s the result?"


    Nathaniel developed suspicions about Aria''s identity as well, but he didn''t give it a deep thought. It


    was very likely that Mango was going to do something by investigating over the matter.


    Nathaniel fully supported his wife about the things she was going to do.


    The subordinate quickly continued, "We''ve taken Aria''s blood sample to appraise with Valentina''s


    parents. Aria is the child of the Brass family. Meanwhile, Mrs. Brass did mention that they had


    another daughter when Valentina was ten years old, but she was announced to be suffocated to


    death two days after her birth. At that time, the hospital had its own record regarding this incident."


    "Suffocation? After she was born for two days? Well, why would Aria still exist?"


    ording to the time given, Aria was eighteen years old at that time. Valentina passed away


    around nine years ago while she was born when Valentina was at the age of ten. It seemed that


    Aria''s identity did match with the time point.


    Nathaniel frowned and pondered for a moment and asked, "Who did Aria and Valentina look alike?"


    "It''s Mr. Brass. Both of them look like their father."


    As the subordinate spoke, he handed Mr. Brass'' photo to Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel had seen Valentina before but he was still stunned upon looking at the photo.


    Valentina looked much like her father, while Aria looked very simr to her at first nce. However,


    her eyes were still slightly different when one looked closer at her.


    Aria''s eyes looked simr as her mother.


    "Are you sure? Since Aria''s death had been identified from suffocation back then, how could she


    appear in the Morganfield abroad?"


    Nathaniel''s words made his men send him the details.


    "ording to our people, the doctor and nurse who were involved in delivering the baby were


    bribed back then. They told the parents of the Brass family that their baby had died of asphyxiation.


    Generally speaking, all the newborn babies looked almost the same. Therefore they reced the


    baby with another baby who died of suffocation. Back then, the Brass couple were in grief that they


    didn''t think of doing any analysis. After all, no one would expect that someone in the


    main hospital would do such a deed. Hence, the matter had fizzled out at that time. Mrs. Brass even


    went through depression for a long period before she went out from the aftershock. The whole


    family didn''t dare to mention the incident of the child in front of her anymore. Over time, everyone


    had forgotten it and never mentioned it again."


    Nathaniel listened quietly, but he was brain storming.


    "Did the doctor and nurse who took bribes mentioned the person behind who instigated them to do


    so?"


    "They imed that they didn''t know the person, it was said that she was an outsiders who was in


    charge of human- trafficking and intended to cooperate with them. At that time, the woman paid a lot


    of money to them, so they were tempted and wanted to use their duties will to sell several children,


    but the woman had never appeared since then."


    The remarks from the subordinate made Nathaniel frown.


    "A woman?"


    "Yes. They said that it was a woman in her forties who instructed them to do so. She spoke in a


    foreign ent and was seemingly a people smuggler. After all, the woman imed that she worked


    on the overseas line. As long as they sell the baby to her, she would take the child abroad and sell


    it. She promise that it wouldn''t affect


    them, only then they were willing to take the risk."


    Nathaniel''s eyes became chiller.


    It was simply an unforgivable sin to those medical staffs who were involved in human- trafficking


    activities. They were unconscionable by taking advantage of selling the babies when those maternal


    mothers were looking frail after giving birth.


    "Was Aria the only child taken away back then?"


    "Not really. ording to them, they sold roughly eight newborn babies around the week. They had


    felt repressive over Aria as the other parents of those eight babies didn''t react as furious as Mrs.


    Brass though they felt grieved as well. Rumors said that Mrs. Brass almost hit herself into the wall


    and wished to suffocate with the baby back then as it had been in her belly for too long. At that time,


    Mrs. Brass did give birth to her baby through natural delivery for four days but in vain. She had to


    choose Caesarean section in the end and had always felt remorse as she thought that it was her


    own mistakes that caused the death of her baby. Hence, she simply couldn''t ept the fact. Since


    then, Mrs. Brass had suffered from severe depression. She triedmitting self-muttion and


    suicide every day at that time. Mr. Brass didn''t manage to check on their baby who was said to be


    dead of suffocation in order to take care of her. This incident had simply gotten over in this way."


    A me of anger arisen from Nathaniel''s body.


    As he was also a father, he certainly knew the hardship of a mother to conceive her baby for ten


    months. How could a mother withstand the fact that her baby was sold like a product after she had


    givenbor to and even told that her baby had died of suffocation?


    He thought of his two unborn babies.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    For a moment, Nathaniel could feel that his heart was swelling with uneasiness.


    "Check it out for me! Regardless of any approach, you have to make the doctor and nurses to find


    out the human trafficker. It''s fine if she has received the punishment. Well, if this woman is still


    impunity and continues tomit such a wicked crime, then first break her hands and feet before


    throwing her to the police station."


    "Yes."


    Upon hearing his words, the subordinate nodded and walked out of the room.


    Mango had woken up at some point. She leaned against the door and smiled while looking at


    Nathaniel, who behaved resolute.


    She had always known that Nathaniel had a good nature.


    Seemingly to realize that someone was looking at him from behind, Nathaniel turned his head


    quickly and caught Mango''s smiling eyes.


    Her eyes were like the spring breeze blown across Nathaniel which soften his heart.


    "Why don''t you get more sleep?"


    "I can''t see your decisiveness if I do."


    Mango walked down with a faint smile.


    Nathaniel pulled up her clothes to prevent her from catching a cold, and thenmented, "I''ve never


    expected it to be a people smuggler."


    "Yeah, I came across some news a few days ago saying that the smugglers are particrly rampant


    nowadays, especially those medical staff who had been involved in the activities, which is indeed


    abhorrence. Meanwhile, Valentina''s hometown ought to be a rural town. I''ve no idea about the


    medical conditions there, but the emergence of such medical staff is truly terrifying. Since it''s now


    confirmed that Aria is Valentina''s biological sister, what are you going to do after this?"


    Mango looked at Nathaniel, but Nathaniel shook his head and said, "I don''t know. As I said, Michael


    has to make his own decisions. After all, this is his own business. Even if Aria didn''t kill Zeck, it was


    her who caused Michael to turn into the current condition. Resentment is still lingering around the


    men inside the alliance. I''m afraid we can''t convince the others if I give her a pardon. It was Michael


    who took his men to risk their lives toplete the tasks over these years. I can''t say anything


    about their friendship as I weren''t in their position. We''d better wait until Michael wakes up."


    "Will Michael wake up?"


    Mango was somewhat uncertain.


    However, Nathaniel replied with a smile, "I''m sure he will."


    "Is there something I don''t know? Is Michael just pretending?"


    Mango looked at Nathaniel''s smile and felt that he ought to know something that she didn''t.


    Yet Nathaniel shook his head and said, "I don''t know, Michael is not acting too, but his feelings for


    Valentina are real. He will wake up if we manage toe up with a solution."


    "You seem to have a solution?"


    "Yes, but it needs cooperation from Aria."


    Seeing Nathaniel''s reaction, Mangoughed, "You simply have plenty of crazy ideas."


    "You don''t like it?"


    As he spoke, Nathaniel wrapped his hands around Mango''s waist.


    Mango immediately recalled their sexy time in bed not long before, her knees suddenly weaken.


    "Honey, I was wrong."


    Her voice was soft yet trembling, which made her looked more adorable.


    Nathaniel truly wanted to hook up with the lovely woman before him, but he noticed Mango''s fatigue


    eyes.


    He suppressed his temper and said in a hoarse voice, "You''ve done nothing wrong, it was my fault.


    You go find Aria, I''ll get myself some rest."


    "Alright."


    Mango had known that she was off the hook from getting herselfid again.


    It seemed like his so- called rest should be returning to his room to take a cold shower.


    Mango smiled even more blissfully.


    Nathaniel shook his head and gave her a passionate kiss before returning to the bedroom.


    Mango felt that there were plenty of heart shaped bubbles emerging from within, which were warm


    and particrly sweet.


    She walked to the door of Aria''s room and knocked on it, the feeble voice of Aria came from inside.


    "Come in."


    Mango pushed the door and entered. She caught sight of Aria leaning against the balcony of the


    French window, she was half-squatting, thinking about something.


    Her figure was indescribably lonely, it felt sad for a moment.


    Mango walked over and passed the details she had collected to Aria.


    "What is it?"


    Aria looked at Mango and the documents in her hands in doubt, she was somewhat confused.


    "It''s your background information, have a look on it."


    Mango was unsure on how to describe her parentage to the youngdy.


    Many people smugglers used the children to make money by chopping off their hands and feet, and


    forcing them to beg money on the streets. People like Aria, who had been sold abroad managed to


    survive in good condition, it was either a blessing or a curse.


    However, if Aria had been bought by an ordinary family back then, she would not turn out to be a


    silly assassin, or even losing her first love.


    Mango felt sympathetic for Aria.


    How could anyone ask a child who grew up with a group of assassins to correct herself?


    Aria was the least not considered incorrigible though.


    Under Mango''s eyes, Aria opened the file. However, her expression slightly changed the more she


    read. In the end, tears slid down her cheek.


    "Is that true? Is Valentina my own sister?"


    "Yeah, take a look at those photos, they are all your sister''s, you can check on them. Actually, both


    of you look very alike, except your eyes. Your eyes are simr to your mother''s, while your sister''s


    eyes inherited your father''s."


    Mango''s words made Aria sobbed.


    When Michael told her about the incident of Valentina, she didn''t have much feelings. However,


    when she learned that the woman was actually her family member, the grief and pain welled up in


    her heart.


    Perhaps it was the wonders of blood rtion.


    "Was my sister a soldier? Or perhaps a martyr?" "Yes, Valentina was a martyr, a hero, and also the


    pride of the people. Although she lived merely over 20 years old, her life will be remembered by


    others. Her name will forever be recorded on the heroic monument and passed down for


    generations to create a legacy."


    Mango''s remarks caused Aria to shake her head, she cried, "Valentina was so young, she left just


    like that?"


    The entire room was overwhelmed by boundless sorrow, and it was so oppressive they could hardly


    breathe.
