Chapter 186 - 186: Claire's little mission

After days of rest, Evan has finally recovered from the gunshot he suffered and now he's ready to go back to work.

After the car stopped in front of the villa, he got down and opened the door for Daniella. Scott who drove them to the villa opened the trunk and took the luggage full of Evan's clothes which he used for the days he stayed at Claire's house.

"Thank you for your help, Scott."

Scott blinked in surprise when he heard that from Daniella. He would expect it from Evan but not from her. He looked at her face and found the sincerity glistening her eyes so he smiled and nodded his head once.

"Do you want me to continue with my previous work?" he asked. Since Evan was shot, Daniella asked him and Robert to stop following Roman Lee and now that her fiancé has recovered he assumed that he will go back on tailing the doctor again.

But Daniella shook her head.

"no, you and Robert should rest."

Scott became silent, perplexed by her sudden change of mind. Since Evan was shot, she became calm and patience. She rarely shouted at them and when she talked or ordered them her voice was calm and pleading. Something he never experienced since he got to know her.

He thought at first that it's because of Evan being around her but he was wrong, even when Evan was not looking Daniella acted like a real woman. She dressed elegantly and had stopped cursing, drinking and even smoking.

She's changing and he was unsure why. Daniella has never tried to change herself and before she said she will never change to get anyone's approval but seemed like her mind changed because right now her look was unrecognizable.

Her long hair was neatly ponied up, light makeup and her short sleeves a-line dress that reach her knees made her look so innocent.

Scott blew out a sigh. He wondered why she's acting like this. Was she doing this for real or it's one of her schemes.

Daniella flashed a genuine smile. She could read Scott's mind but his first thought was the right answer. She walked closer to him, cupped his cheeks with her palms and planted a quick peck on his forehead.

"Stop thinking Scott. You and Robert should take a vacation. I will handle everything here."

Her calm voice soothed his mind. Hypnotized by her sweet voice, Scott nodded and smiled.

"I will take him with me then."

Daniella released his cheeks, "Bring Jenna and Irene with you. Those two deserve a vacation too."

When Scott left, Daniella turned to Evan.

"something's changed to you," Evan bobbed his head in confusion, "what are you thinking?"

He leaned forward for a kiss and Daniella accepted it wholeheartedly. As their lips touched, Evan's eyebrows creased. He thought he would be able to see her thoughts like before but recently every time they kiss he saw nothing but calmness.

When they parted his lips, confusion still visible on Evan's face.

Meanwhile, Daniella smiled at him. She was able to control her mind after staying with Evan in Claire's house. Her mind was in serene now, it's so peaceful now that she has made a plan on how to proceed with her life.

Claire bit her lips hardly. She was in front of Danny Hei's school to volunteer as a visiting doctor. She always volunteered but today she has another agenda and that was to get a hair and saliva sample from Danny Hei.

The football coach whistled and all the kid lined up obediently.

Claire stared at the boy. His round and brown eyes were similar to the boy she saw in the hospital a few years ago, the boy who pleaded at her to save his twin sister.

Danny Chen, she said that name in her mind.

She started to wonder. Why did Glen name his kid Danny and why did his DNA match with Daniella. Was the result she got from the laboratory a mistake? Was there a possibility that Daniella was Danny's mother?

She has requested for her friend at the hospital to pull Danny Hei's medical result. From the time he was born up to date and she should get the result in the next days.

The boy drank the water from a cup, Claire immediately took the cup he used and hid it in her bag.

She was not sure if she will be able to get anything from his cup but she can still get his hair sample.

As she continued with her mission a man behind her poke her shoulder.

"I believe you are Daniella's friend."

Claire turned around to the source of the voice and there she found Glen Hei, Danny's father standing with a grim face.

She gulped hard, gripped the bag she's holding.

"Hi Mr Hei," she smiled awkwardly at him.

But Glen's face remained dark. Behind his glasses were eyes burning with suspicion.

"What are you doing here?"

Claire bit her lips. His aura was too strange for her, she felt as if he was ready to devour her guilty soul.

"I always volunteer to some school and I saw your kid," she said pointing a finger at the boy who was looking at them with confusion.

Hearing that, Glen looked at the end of where her finger was pointing. His dark and serious face brightened up to see his son.

"Is that so," he blew a sigh and smiled at her, "send my regards to Daniella."

Claire nodded and watched as the father and son left. She wanted to ask about the boy's mother but she did not want Glen to be suspicious so she zipped her lips and decided to get the answer herself.

She unclenched her fist which was holding Danny's hair then she hid it in the zip-lock plastic she had in her bag and left the school.

Meanwhile, Glen's face darkened as he got into the car. His eyes locked to Claire who was making her way to the parking space where her car was parked.

He saw what she did, all of it but he decided to keep it to himself. He promised to Evan that he will shut his mouth but he did not promise to stop anyone who will try to uncover his son's real past.

"Dad, aunt Daniella is waiting for us to the Su villa, can we go now? She said she will cook something delicious for me."

Hearing the tiny voice of his son, Glen senses came back. Claire's car has gone so he started the car and left as well.

It's only a matter of time. If Claire will tell Daniella about Danny at least he will know if she will accept the boy or not by her action. If Daniella will act as if nothing happened, it meant that she didn't want to accept Danny and in that case, he won't need to tell his son that she was his real mother.

The only heart that will be disappointed and broken will be his and not his son.
