Chapter 135: Is She The Missing Daughter?
Hazel felt like she could not breathe, it hurt too much.
Many things happened in the last few hours, and she was just too shocked to think anymore.
She grew paler as she kept looking at the photo album.
There were individual photos of the baby girl but also some of her with a young couple.
Hazel had seen the photos of the young couple before; they were the same people like the ones in the photo of Joshua’s parents.
How could this be?
Did it mean that she was the baby girl? Had she seen Joshua’s parents when she was a child?
However, the couple in the photos looked at the baby girl with such loving and soft eyesight, just like she was the best gift they had ever got. It seemed that they were looking at their own daughter.
“Denmark's family has lost a daughter.”
Vanessa’s words echoed in her mind.
Is she the missing daughter of Denmark's family?
No, how was that possible? She was the biological daughter of the Crowe Family. How could it possible that Joshua was her brother?
If he were really her brother, how could he have thought of marrying her and almost slept with her?
However, she also remembered that Joshua had told her that they were not siblings.
But why did Joshua gave her everything that belonged to the Denmark Family? What's more, how could she have almost the same birthmark as the baby?
Hazel’s mind was in total chaos, she had no idea how many things would disrupt her life, all in one day.
Was it possible that she was not the daughter of the Crowe Family?
No! Hazel denied this thought in her mind. Her parents and brother loved her so much and gave her the best. How could she not be their daughter?
Maybe it was because of her birthmark that Joshua regarded her as his sister?
Though it seemed to be the least possible answer, she would like to believe this one compared to the answer that she was not the daughter of the Crowe Family.
It must be like this. The second time Joshua met her, he insisted on looking at the birthmark in her chest, which had caused her to regard him as a rascal for a long time.
Like Vanessa had told her, the Denmark Family has some secrets.
Joshua had her stay there by his side because he regarded her as his sister?
Hazel fell to the ground in anguish. It did not matter why Joshua had approached her.
Vanessa was pregnant with his baby, and Joshua would not leave her alone. He was that kind of man.
Hazel felt that she was unable to be with Joshua anymore. She could not stand that he had slept with Vanessa and had been lying to her.
Hazel took the album and went to the bedroom, feeling like she had lost her mind.
She leafed through the photo album and gradually fell into sleep.
***
The next morning, a phone call woke Hazel.
Her eyes hurt a lot, she rubbed her eyes and forced them open to answering the phone.
“Hello?” her voice was hoarse.
“Hazel, it’s me.” Ronald spoke mildly on the other side, “you haven’t called me for days, how have you been?”
“I’m fine.” Hazel felt it was breathless. Was it true that her brother, who was such a good brother, had no blood relationship with her?
“You sound very tired, have you stayed up again?”
“No…”
“Has someone hurt you? Or your colleagues giving you a hard time? You can tell me no matter what you have encountered.”
Listening to Ronald’s countless questions, Hazel felt a lump in her throat. She felt so distressed and could not help crying. Her eyes swelled up with tears, and she could not even speak a word.
The concern of a family member was the warmest thing when it feels like life is falling apart.
“Hazel, what happened? Talk to me.” Ronald suddenly panicked when he heard Hazel sobbing.
Hazel cried harder. Her brother was overseas, and she did not want him to worry about her.
“Ronald, I'm just homesick. I miss dad and mom. I haven’t seen them for days and miss them so much.”
“Don’t cry, dear. Go home if you miss them. School hasn’t started yet, has it?” Ronald comforted her in a soft voice, but he was actually anxious.
There must be something she did not tell him. She would not cry so heavily just because she was homesick. What kind of turmoil was she going through?
"Well, I will go home!" Hazel sobbed and wiped the tears on her face. She just wanted to leave this place and went back to her mother's arms. With family being around, she did not have to think about anything.
"Okay. I will tell our parents to pick you up then." Ronald nodded. He was now overseas, and he could do nothing except worry about her. It was better for her to go home where her parents could take care of her.
"Don’t bother our parents, I will go home now," Hazel replied resolutely.
She did not want to stay here one more second.
After hanging up the phone, Hazel booked a ticket immediately. Suddenly, she was a bit depressed.
Joshua had not come home from the hospital. He promised to take care of Vanessa in front of the journalists until she recovered. It appeared that he would keep his promise.
Joshua chose Vanessa over Hazel.
However, this did not mean that Joshua would let Hazel go; maybe those servants would stop her again like they did yesterday.
Hazel found scissors and cut the sheets into strips. She tied them to the window.
No matter if they would stop her or not, she was not going to wake them up.
Hazel was on the second floor. She climbed down the strips and smoothly landed on the ground. She left the house undiscovered.
Joshua was at the hospital, and Vanessa was still refusing to cooperate. The journalists were still downstairs in the lobby of the hospital and seemed to be willing to stay here forever.
His phone suddenly rang, and Joshua hurriedly pressed the answer button. "Jaxson, have you found..."
“Joshua!” Isaac shouted at the other side of the phone. "What have you done to Hazel? She is missing!"
“What?” Joshua suddenly stood up from the sofa, “Isaac, what happened?”
“That’s my question!” Isaac was angrier. “I was worried and came to see her. But when I got here, I could not find her. She was not in her room! I found out that she has left through the window.”
Joshua was stunned. He had assumed that Hazel would misunderstand the situation and be angry with him, but he had never thought she would actually leave.
If she just misunderstood, she would be more likely to punch him, so why would she leave?
“Isaac, when you took her home yesterday, was there anything that happened?” He was anxious.
