Morris had long been suspicious of Hank, so he wasn’t surprised when Cherise said this.
He calmly said, “A 14–year–old boy with superb hacking skills, knowledge of traditional medicine, and a knack for scientific experiments indeed doesn’t seem like a child from an orphanage. If that’s the case, the real Hank…
Cherise met Morris’s gaze and shook her head. “He unfortunately passed away two years ago during that high fever and fainting spell.
“One notable detail in his medical records is that, despite initially showing weak vital signs, a follow–up examination a day later revealed that all indicators had returned to normal.”
She paused briefly before continuing, “It’s highly suspicious for an ordinary hospital like Elysium Medical Center to have a patient whose vital signs were weak one day and then show normal indicators the next. Moreover, the surveillance video has been expertly edited.”
Morris nodded in agreement. “What do you think this imposter is up to? He was only 12 years old two years ago. How could he have come up with such a plan?
“Judging from the current situation, his motive seems clear. It’s all about you and the Traditional Medicine Department of Betrico University.”
Morris‘ words made Cherise ponder. She then slowly said, “You have to ask him yourself.”
“Don’t worry. At least we know he’s not the enemy for now, right?”
Morris didn’t speak but raised his eyebrows. This was true, though.
Two days ago, he had helped Jean deal with the trending topics about the Walton family.
The wedding was approaching. He could deal with this matter after the wedding. Anyway, he had already informed Arthur about it.
This explained that after comparing his gene pool with Hank’s, Arthur didn’t find any problems because the sample was from the real Hank. About how things would go, he decided to let nature take its course.
At the Walton residence, Lydia locked herself in her room all day after returning home. Just like before, no servant dared to knock on her door.
Stella and Cora sat on the sofa downstairs. “Mom, do you want me to get Lydia out?” Stella asked.
Cora waved her hand. “Your brother called to tell us not to bother Lydia. He said once she thinks it through, she will come out.”
Stella let out a sigh. “Perhaps Lydia has a difficult romantic life because she grew up with me.”
Cora took a sip of coffee and looked up at her. “Lydia can’t be compared with you. That businessman from the Simpson family is no match for Arthur. They are not on the same level.”
“What? You work at the Translation Bureau. You should have more opportunities to interact with Arthur.”
Stella nodded, “Yes, there are many opportunities, but…” She pursed her lips and continued, “Perhaps my status is the reason.

It’s inconvenient.”

Cora nodded. “Lydia and Mrs. Jarrett most likely argued the other day. And you didn’t pick a side. Mrs. Jarrett has a good impression of you. You can visit the Jarrett family more often if you have time.”
Stella nodded. That was her plan.
“Ms. Walton, you finally came out of your room,” the maid on the stairs shouted after Cora finished speaking.
Cora and Stella looked over and saw Lydia. Stella stood up and said, “Lydia, you finally stopped locking yourself up. Come over here. You haven’t had anything since yesterday. You must be starving.”
Stella turned to the maid and instructed, “Hurry. Bring the soup to Ms. Walton.”
Cora didn’t look happy when she saw Lydia.
Cora just felt disappointed about her, not that she didn’t like her. Lydia was very likable, the only child in the Walton family right now.
Lydia glanced at her and walked over. She spoke elegantly, “Grandma, I know I was wrong. I promise I won’t do it again. Can you please forgive me?
“I know my reckless behavior has caused trouble for the Walton family this time. I’m sorry.”
As Lydia spoke, her composed demeanor was completely different from when she was talking to Cherise in the Dark Web Division dungeon. She looked well–behaved.
Cora and Stella forgave Lydia after she apologized sincerely. And they stopped maintaining their stern expression. “That’s the right thing to do. A young woman from our family should be like this. We’re capable of love and letting it go.” “Good girl, we’re family. How could we not forgive you?” Cora nodded, seemingly satisfied with Lydia’s apologetic attitude. Stella also got up, approached Lydia, and stroked her hair in a seemingly loving manner. “Lydia, that’s right. I’m glad you’ve moved on.
“You’re so young and beautiful. There are plenty of young men out there. You don’t need to focus on just one man.”
Upon hearing Stella’s words, Lydia tilted her head and looked at her, saying, “No, I didn’t say I was going to give up on
Truman.
“I still like him, but I’m going to try a different approach. I won’t be that aggressive anymore.
“I’ll get to know him better and approach him. At least I won’t annoy him.”
Stella and Cora realized that Lydia couldn’t just give up on the man she had liked for so long, whose pictures were all over her room. It was iust their wishful thinking.
