Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 923
Silas sighed. “After checking the security cameras around the villa, I did manage to trace her route but lost her once she reached Highland Street. That district’s rather under-developed, and there are no security cameras there.”
“So, now we’ve lost all traces of her?” Shane narrowed his eyes.
Lowering his head, Silas nodded. “Yes, but I’ve assigned some men to inspect the area. There should still be some clues left there. Besides, she hasn’t left J City. As long as we do a full sweep of the city, we’re sure to capture her.”
Shane pinched his nose bridge wearily. “Sure, just go ahead with what you suggested. And there’s something else I need you to do as well.”
“Yes, Mr. Shane?” Silas looked at him questioningly.
“I need you to check the footage of the security camera outside my office on the ninth of July, as well as the footage outside Jackson’s office on the tenth of September.”
Those were the two days that he had mentioned he was going to perform the DNA paternity tests.
He remembered the ninth of July vividly, as it was the day he asked Silas to organize a health checkup at the children’s kindergarten to obtain Connor’s and Sharon’s blood samples. The security cameras outside his office should have caught anyone eavesdropping on their conversation that day.
As for the tenth of September, he was in Jackson’s office when Jackson expressed his surprise that he had the same rare blood type as Connor and suggested that he did another paternity test, to which he agreed. It was possible that someone outside the office had overheard that conversation as well.
“Is there anything particular about these two dates?” Silas asked in puzzlement.
Shane’s expression softened as he explained, “Those two were the dates the children and I did the DNA test. I just did another DNA paternity test just now. Do you know what I just found out?”
Silas shook his head wordlessly.
Shane went on. “They’re both my children.”
His statement came as a total shock to Silas, who gasped in response and stammered, “Y-You mean you’re their b-birth father?”
“That’s right.” Shane nodded.
Gulping, Silas said, “But previously Dr. Baker did the test a-and…” He suddenly thought about the security footage that Shane just asked him to check, and instantly put two and two together. His expression turned serious as he continued, “Mr. Shane, are you suspecting that someone overheard you wanting to perform the tests and then proceeded to manipulate the test results?”
Shane did not correct him that it was the DNA samples he suspected were tampered with instead of the test results. He simply nodded and added, “Exactly. Now, go ahead and get it done as soon as possible. Let me know immediately if the footage has been deleted. I’ll have Connor recover them.”
“Understood.” Silas left at once to carry out his instructions.
He could not believe the truth had stayed hidden for such a long time and was determined to find out the culprit responsible for it.
After Silas left, Shane remained by Sharon’s bedside until the sun went down.
It was morning where Natalie was.
She descended the stairs drowsily. Seeing the tired look on her face, Sally exclaimed in shock, “My goodness, Natalie. Did you not sleep well last night? Look at those dark circles under your eyes!”
Taking a seat at the breakfast table, Natalie nodded as she answered, “Yeah, I had a terrible nightmare last night.”
After she woke up from the dream, she had called Shane and asked to speak to the children.
However, even after she had confirmed that the children were safe and sound, she still felt deeply unsettled and was unable to fall back to sleep.
Thus, she had stayed up all night, drawing new designs till the sun rose from the horizon.
“That ‘nightmare’ must have been a powerful one, huh?” Sally teased her.
Natalie rolled her eyes at her. “Enough of that. Let’s eat quickly and get ready for the competition.”
“Yeah, all right.” Sally nodded.
After breakfast, they left the villa together and headed toward the venue of the competition.
On their way there, Natalie thought of calling Shane at first, but remembering that it was nighttime over there, she decided against it.
She figured it would be more appropriate if she called later in the evening after the competition ended.
However, her performance in the competition turned out subpar that day, and she nearly dropped to Team B.
After the competition ended, Sally came to her. “Nat, what’s wrong with you today? What’s gotten you in such a low mood?”
