True Love Waits

Chapter 1170 A Mystery About A Girl

Erica was shocked to hear Matthew's question. "What? You've never heard of Liuzhou river snails rice noodles*?"

(*TN: Liuzhou river snails rice noodles is the most famous local delicacy of Liuzhou, Guangxi, China.) Erica held his face in her palms and added, "That's so sad. Let's go. I'll take you out for some smelly, yummy river snails rice noodles. Trust me, the first taste will keep you coming back for more!"

Matthew had already lost his appetite when he heard the word "smelly." He grabbed Erica's hand as she was pulling him up, and stopped her. "Let's just eat at home!"

Erica smiled innocently and said, "I'm too embarrassed to ask you to cook for me."

Matthew hid his gritted teeth behind a cheerful facade and said, "It would be my honor to be Mrs. Huo's cook."

"I'm flattered, Mr. Huo,"

Erica replied with a grin on her face.

In A Country

The next morning after talking to Matthew on the phone, Wesley had someone look into the files of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department in a private hospital in A Country. Unfortunately, his contact couldn't find any files with Erica's medical record. In fact, much to their surprise, there wasn't even a single trace of Erica in any other department.

While Erica was eating hot and sour rice noodles in Matthew's office, Wesley went to the office of the private hospital's president. He showed the man the original copy of the colored ultrasound report Erica had shown him and Blair when she had announced her pregnancy to them.

The president was an old man, who adjusted his glasses, looked at the colored ultrasound report and asked Wesley curiously, "Wesley, you didn't know about it?"

Wesley found the man's question to be pointless. If Wesley had known about it, why would he be standing there in his office?

After getting no response from Wesley, the old president of the hospital paused to think for a while and then said, "Erica told me that you asked her to come to me for a fake colored ultrasound report. I didn't think to interrogate her because she said it was urgent."

The old president had a good relationship with Baldwin. In fact, he had watched Erica grow up with his own eyes. When Erica mentioned Wesley's name, he acted at once without even thinking about anything else.

There was, however, a doubt in his heart as to why a child would want a fake colored ultrasound report, but it wasn't enough to change his mind.

As he looked at Wesley's livid face, the president soon realized that Wesley must have been deceived by his daughter.

Thinking back to that day, the old president realized that Erica's excuse had many loopholes in it, but he just didn't think too much of it back then.

Wesley put away the report in silence. "Did she come to you again after that?"
