Chapter 525: Chapter 528: Start Investigating the Events of That Year (3)
“Skye is right,” Dylan Wellington said with an indulgent smile, seemingly flirting even in front of Lily Gray and Joan Wellington.
Annoyed, Skye Brown glares at him, “Stop kissing up, and keep talking. Why did Hannah Ford want Aidan Lucas to marry her? Just because she saved him, does that mean she had to marry him?”
“It’s not entirely like that. In fact, they were hiding in the grove that night, and it started to rain. Aidan hadn’t eaten anything and was extremely weak. Hannah took off her overcoat and wrapped it around Aidan. The two children were hiding in the wet and cold grove, with the kidnappers’ tracks nearby from time to time,” Dylan recalled.
“It wasn’t until the next day when they discovered the kidnappers were gone that Hannah told Aidan to wait in the grove while she went out to find help. Aidan told me that by then, he was almost unconscious. When he woke up next, he was already back in the Lucas family home.”
“What happened later? Did Aidan go back to the orphanage and find Hannah?” For some reason, Lily suddenly wanted to know the answer.
Dylan shook his head, “No, some things happened after Aidan returned, and he didn’t have a chance to go back to the orphanage. By the time he did, the girl who had saved him was already gone.”
Lily frowned, feeling an inexplicable sense of melancholy.
It was strange, this feeling that lodged in her heart, making her uneasy.
She tried to comfort herself that it was probably because she had heard about Aidan’s childhood misfortunes and felt sorry for him.
Anyway, that woman named Hannah Ford had saved Aidan.
Thinking of this, she asked, “Since Hannah couldn’t be found when he returned, how did they end up together later?”
Asking her own husband about his ex’s news was a particularly bitter experience.
“A few years ago… due to Aidan being saved in the orphanage, Madam Lucas would financially support the children there every year. That year, Aidan learned that the orphanage was about to be demolished and accompanied Madam Lucas for the last time. As it turned out, he accidentally found an old photo under a picture wall in the corridor.”
“And he found Hannah in that old photo?”
Dylan nodded, “Yes, even though time was far away and memories were blurred, he could still recognize the girl who had saved him at a glance.”
“After that, they asked the Director, and through twists and turns, they finally found Hannah Ford, who had been taken back by the Ford family.”
At this point, Dylan’s face showed a touch of emotion.
“Unfortunately, by the time Aidan contacted the Ford family, he learned that when Hannah was taken back from the orphanage, she had already developed heart disease. It is said that it was induced by the rain that night and improper care at the orphanage.”
Hearing this, Lily and Skye fell silent, their hearts an emotional mixture.
However, only Joan Wellington thought there was something wrong with Dylan’s story.
“Brother, you just said that Aidan was almost unconscious in the grove, right? So many years had passed, and it was just a photo. How could he be sure that the girl in the photo was the one who saved him that year?”
