Chapter 355:

Hearing Elyse’s explanation, Pearce was even more taken aback. “Both your parents have incurable diseases at the same time? That’s incredibly tough.”

Elyse’s eyes revealed a swirl of emotions. “You got the wrong idea. I’m doing this for my real parents.”

Pearce was surprised. “Your biological parents? I thought your current parents were your biological ones.”

“I’d rather not talk about it,” Elyse responded with a deep sigh, her eyes wandering to the trees around her as her mood darkened.

Standing next to her, Pearce felt uneasy too. Despite his sharp mind, he couldn’t grasp why Elyse’s biological and current parents weren’t the same. Then he wondered, could it be that Elyse’s biological parents were the people he had been searching for? After all, Elyse looked remarkably like the person he was trying to find.

Pearce thought about how to ask about Elyse’s biological parents, but before he could organize his thoughts, Elyse said she wanted to leave.

Pearce nodded. In the car, Pearce held the steering wheel and casually asked, “I’ve been with you all day. Can you tell me about your biological parents?”

Elyse felt a wave of sleepiness. Rousing slightly at his question, she smiled and asked, “Are you really that interested in my biological parents?”
