Only a few seconds passed before Everett began dialing Jeffrey’s number
After many rings, the call was finally answered.
The noise on Jeffrey’s end was chaotic. It sounded like he was out drinking with friends; the clinking of glasses was evident in the background.
“Where are you?”
“Having a drink, man. A buddy from abroad just got back, so we’re catching up.”
Everett frowned. “The picture you sent me of that kid, cd you photoshop it?”
Jeffrey was taken aback and raised his voice. “I don’t have time for that kind of nonsense Today, while I was working late at the office, this kid showed up at the Lopez Corporation. The security guards probably saw the resemblance between him and you and decided to bring him to me.”
“Where’s the kid then?”
“Right next to me! The kid doesn’t know his mom’s name. All he knows is that his dad looks a lot like him. I couldn’t just leave him out on the street, could 17
But Jeffrey had already made plans for the night, and, left with no choice, he had to bring the kid along
“You brought a kid to a bar?!
“What else was supposed to do? Jeffrey seemed to step out of the bar. The surrounding noise was significantly quieter. “He really does look a lot like you. I’m almost certain that you two are father and sun. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble?”
He was a free spit, so he wasn’t particularly fond of children,
“Don’t drink anymore, and take the kid to a hotel for the night. I’ll be back tomorrow?
Although Everett was still unclear about the whole situation, he had to figure out why a child resembling him had appeared.
“Deal! I make sure to deliver him to you in one piece! After all, this might be your son!” Jeffrey chuckled ‘Hm, you’re something else. You had a son this big and didn’t even know about it. I have to interrogate you when you get back
Everett could only sigh in frustration. He tried Hard to recall his past, but couldn’t come up with anything.
Alter a moment, Everett picked up his phone and called Kevin.
It was late, and Kevin sounded groggy
“Mr. Lopez, what can I do for you?”
“Sony to disturb you. I wanted to ask something. You mentioned earlier that Dorothy’s friend Karen might have gotten married and had a daughter, right?”
Kevin paused. “Yes! I saw the surveillance footage, Karen was rushing to the hospital with a child when she was admitted,
you sure it was a gid?”
“Yes, the child even had pigtails. It was easy to tell that she was a girl.”
Everett felt a headache coming on.
“Does the girl look like me?”
Kevin was taken aback by the question; after all, he had only seen surveillance footage, which wasn’t very clear. 1 think… not really,”
But he wasn’t completely sure.
“So it should be… Everett wasn’t sure how he fell
He had suddenly thought that maybe the child Karen had brought with her that day was the sume child Jeffrey had mentioned. If that was the case, then it was possible that he and Dorothy had a child together.
They had a son.
But Kevin shattered his theory.
The two children were of different genders, and Kevin said the child didn’t look like him.
