Chapter 169: She Must Be My Daughter

Caleb smiled and shook his head. “I don’t.”

Nora uttered an ‘oh’. She wasn’t particularly bothered.

A puzzled Caleb asked, “Don’t you want to know?”

Nora replied detachedly, “It doesn’t matter to me.”

It really didn’t matter to her.

Having grown up in a family like that ever since she was a child, kinship wasn’t something indispensable for her.

To her, the greatest value her mother had was that she had given birth to her, and also left her with so much material she could study and learn from.

Her father…

That word had been associated with Henry since she was a child. Even though he wasn’t her father anymore, she didn’t feel much affection for the word.

 

Nora put the recorder pen away safely into her pocket. Then, she looked at Caleb and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Caleb sighed and said, “Back then, your mother asked us to take care of you. You can say that all this was because the Grays were negligent.”

Caleb also had a look of approval and appreciation on his countenance when he talked about Yvette.

While they were talking, Ford suddenly walked over. His expression was as stern as ever as if he never smiled or laughed. He interrupted their conversation and said, “Ms. Smith, Mr. Gray. We need the two of you to give your statements for investigative purposes.”

Statements?

Nora was taken aback.

Caleb also couldn’t help but ask, “It’s just trespassing on private property. Why do we have to give statements for it?”

Ford looked firm and determined, and his facial features were chiseled and defined. He spoke politely but with a commandeering air as if he was someone who had held a high position for a long time. He said, “Please go through the motions with us.”

Nora felt that he wasn’t someone to be messed with.

She nodded.

Caleb didn’t refuse, either. Thus, the two of them were asked to go down to the police station together. They were also assigned to different rooms.
