Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1680

After listening to Savannah's words, Sawyer was silent at first, then he asked in a meaningful tone, "Didn't my parents help to look for your eldest daughter when she was gone?"

Savannah was stunned for a while and nodded slightly, "They did, but I think it's too much trouble for them. It's my own fault and my daughter's destiny..."

"Did you call the police?"

"I did! I did..." Savannah mumbled, "But the police can't find her either. So I had to give up."

"I see." Sawyer nodded his head and then suddenly changed the subject, "If my investigation is not mistaken, your eldest daughter was adopted by an orphanage."

Savannah stood up from the sofa with a "swoosh" and the luggage bag on her lap fell against her feet. However, she was completely unaware as she stared at Sawyer with her eyes full of disbelief.

Sawyer looked at her and asked meaningfully, "Do you want to know more details?"

Savannah's mouth was moving, but she could not say a word. It seemed that she was so shocked by the great news that she was at a loss of words.

But Sawyer knew that she was scared out of her wits. He continued, "The orphanage is the Kindness Orphanage that I mentioned to you just now. The principal of Kindness Orphanage is a rigorous person. After so many years, she still keeps the contact details of the person who sent your eldest daughter to Kindness Orphanage."

Every word from Sawyer caused Savannah's mind to be chaotic.

"My subordinate found a woman according to the contact information. She said that she was from the same hometown as you. It was you who asked her out and gave your eldest daughter to her. You even said that she could get rid of the child any way she wanted, be it selling or burying. Since she liked your daughter, thinking she was smart and lovely, but was unable to raise her, so she finally decided to send her to Kindness Orphanage."

Savannah became speechless.

Glancing at Savannah's terrible expression, Sawyer asked faintly, "Why would you make others sell your eldest daughter? While you don't even mind the person burying her? If you don't make it clear today..."

"I will say... I will say!" Savannah grabbed the cloth on her chest with her hand and said painfully, "I did give my eldest daughter to others, but it was because I had no choice! My man and his family all tend to be biased. After knowing that I gave birth to a daughter, they all said that the child was a burden and to throw her away as soon as possible. I... I am a just woman, who could not have any say. While I am only a servant, I can't raise her well. So I decisively called my fellowtownsman out and gave my eldest daughter to her..."

"Did it not matter even if she was sold or buried?" Sawyer looked at the frank woman in front of him and felt that he should re-examine her.

Savannah trembled as she said, "Saying to bury her was just words in rage. I just felt that my life was hard, and so was hers, so I couldn't help but vent my anger. In fact, I wish that she could be born into a good family in her next life."

"Needless to wait for her next life, she's been adopted by quite a good family." Sawyer replied.

Savannah was stunned, "Sir... you..."

Sawyer immediately knew what she wanted to ask, "As I just said, when your townsman left your eldest daughter in Kindness Orphanage, she has left behind her contact details. Later on, a man got in touch with her through the principal. After obtaining her oral consent, the man officially adopted your eldest daughter, and I happened to know a little about that man."

"Is, is it?" Savannah asked reluctantly, "How is she now?"

Sawyer laughed. "Before her identity as an orphan was exposed, I think she's doing well. But I can't be sure for now."

He added, "In fact, you have already met her in adult state. You always call her as 'Miss Amelia Ramsay'. Do you remember?"

Savannah understood everything as she heard up to the point. Her efforts to stay calm had been destroyed. She could only swallow her saliva with difficulty, but she was choked by her dry throat and began to cough.

While Sawyer no longer treated her tea. Instead, he stared at her embarrassment.

After a violent cough, her pale face actually seemed to look more normal. Even though she and Sawyer both knew that it was not normal at all.

Staring at the blank expression of Savannah who lost her soul, Sawyer curiously asked, "Your lost eldest daughter was not only adopted, but also grew up to be a beautiful, noble, and amiable woman. As a mother, don't you have anything to say?"

"I..." was very happy.

The last three words stuck in her mouth, and seemed to be struggling. But in the end, her words were defeated by endless shame and guilt. Savannah lowered her head with mixed emotions, for fear of being questioned more cruelly.

But Sawyer was always an attentive person. How could he turn a blind eye to an obvious suspicion? "But I'm curious, why is it that Amelia's blood type be the same as Abner's?"

Oh my God!

Savannah shouted in panic, "It's just a coincidence!!! Although Abner's blood type is rare, it's not to the point that it's one and only. Abner has had many blood transfusion before. Should Sir suspect all who contributed blood to Abner one by one?"

Sawyer looked at her with a hint of darkness in his eyes. "Coincidence you say? Then you wouldn't mind if I use my own blood to do a DNA test with her, would you?"

Savannah's expression changed. "Sir, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

After a pause, Amelia glanced at the speaker and said, "I thought you would only talk to me when I finished my meal."

Other than the day when the place was changed that he talked more with her, he had not spoken to her until she had fully finished three meals a day. She was used to it.

Ignoring her teasing, the person asked again, "Tell me, is the food not to your liking?"

Amelia was amused, "If I said so, would you actually prepare another meal that I like?"

Unexpectedly, the person really agreed, "What would you like to eat?"

Amelia hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly got nervous. "Don't tell me that this is my last dinner..."

After a strange silence, the person said, "That's not what I mean."

"Thank god!" Amelia sighed with relief and said, "In fact, I am still very valuable. In the way if you use me to ask Patrick for ransom, he would definitely give you a huge amount of money."

"I don't want his money." "Well, it seems that you are a rich and unique kidnapper." Amelia simply gave a praise.

"... Have you ever thought of your family?" The person suddenly asked.

Amelia blinked and replied, "Are you referring to Patrick?"

"He's your lover, and I'm talking about family." The person stressed, gnashing his teeth.

"Family? Do you mean my cheap dad, stepmother and little sister? To be honest, I don't care about them. Remember what I told you last time? I've been rebellious since I was a child..."

Amelia was showing her image of an ungrateful person. But was she really one? Of course not. She was just worried that if she appeared to be minding them too much, she would get George and Alice into trouble.

The person then asked, "So, do you have no feelings for your adoptive parents?"

Amelia went along with his words, "That's right. Otherwise, why would I resign from the Apex Construction Corporation? It's totally fine if I continue to be a nominal director. Yet I still part with the company because I don't want to be a slave for my adoptive parents. Even if I do well, others will only say that I have ulterior motives rather than praising me for being filial."
