Seeing Robin come out, Elbert immediately dashed over
“Robin, I just saw her leave, she didn’t look happy, I didn’t dare to say hi. Did she have a bad chat with Wendy or something?”
Robin, recovering from his downcast mood, raised his hand to smack Elbert, but Elbert was quick on his feet and dodged it
“What the hell, man?!”
Robin withdrew his hand, clenching it into a fist.
“Elbert, Vanya isn’t a Pine, why didn’t you tell me that first?”
“Vanya isn’t a Pine?”
Elbert furrowed his brows in confusion, “How do you know she isn’t?”
With a cold and intense stare, Robin locked eyes with Elbert, his voice dripping with accusation. ‘Eleanor took your hair for DNA testing. It turns out you two don’t share any
blood relation.”
Taken aback, Elbert inhaled sharply, his mind racing to process the revelation. “So, the person my grandparents mentioned. was Eleanor’s mother..”
Caught off guard by Elbert’s revelation, Robin’s frustration got the better of him, and he impulsively hit Elbert on the head. “When did they say that?!”
Clutching his head in pain, Elbert cried out, “Easy! My hair hasn’t fully grown back since someone pulled it out!”
Boiling with anger and impatience, Robin snapped, turning to Nathan. “Nathan, pull out all of his hair!”
Elbert took a step back, alarmed, and hastily explained. “I overheard my grandparents talking about it when I was a child, but I wasn’t sure who among us wasn’t a true
Pine…”
Realizing Elbert’s genuine confusion, Robin’s anger subsided slightly, and he pressed further, seeking clarity. “Did your grandparents adopt Vanya, or did they find her?”
Elbert’s response hangs in the air, carrying the weight of potential revelations.
Elbert shook his head, “All I know is there’s someone in my family who isn’t a Pine, but how they got there, I have no idea.”
“Does your father know?”
“Apart from me, I don’t think anyone knows this secret…”
Guess I’ll have to dig around then.
Robin was annoyed and didn’t want to play detective. To him, anyone who didn’t match his mother was worthless, so he wouldn’t waste his time.
“Did your grandparents ever mention anything else?”
Elbert thought for a moment, then shook his head
“Just that the Pines have an illegitimate daughter. Beyond that, I’m clueless.”
Despite being a Pine, there were many secrets from his grandparents‘ younger days that he couldn’t unearth.
Robin knew very little about the Pines. His mother never talked about their family’s gossip, and in his memory, the image of the Pines his mother had created for him and his siblings was always harmonious and loving
Add to that the fact that he and Elbert were about ten years apart in age, they essentially had no common ground. Their meetings were always awkward, they would never chat about the Pine family….
But now, hearing from Elbert that the Pines had an illegitimate daughter, Robin was both shocked and hopeful…
“Where is she?”
Doctors advised looking for direct relatives first when finding a match, then close relatives, and if all else fails, the blood bank. The Pines and the Spencers had all tried to find a match, even distant relatives were tested. Now they’ve even found Vanya’s child for testing, only the illegitimate daughter hasn’t been tested yet. If they could find the illegitimate daughter…
“My father told me she’s already dead, apparently driven to death by the Laurence family…
“Driven to death by the Laurence family?”
Elbert glanced at the ward through the glass, then leaned in to whisper in Robin’s ear
“Wendy should know about this, hasn’t she told you?”
“If you don’t want to talk, stay away from me…”
He already knew the illegitimate daughter was dead, as for how she died, he didn’t care.
