Chapter 1016
After entering the study, Steven reported in a low voice, “I received news from the hospital that the heart
transplanted within you... wasn't Ethan's.”
Armand's eyes abruptly constricted. “Are you sure?” he questioned gravely.
“I'm not sure yet, but I made some inquiries with the staff in charge of the operation that day. There were no signs
of any operation having been performed on Ethan. He was sent to the crematorium directly,” Steven answered.
“Whose heart was it, then?” A deep frown marred Armand's countenance.
I searched high and low for a long time back then, but I couldn't find any compatible heart. Yet, the heart
inadvertently sent to the operating room turned out to be a perfect match for me. Could there be such a
coincidence?
With his head hung low, Steven murmured, “The hospital has no answer either. They thought it was from the Zane
family. Besides, too long has passed, so the surveillance footage that day has already been overwritten. I made
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinquiries all over the hospital, but I still couldn't find out who sent the heart to the hospital.”
Steven subsequently added, “Considering the fact that the person knew about you needing a heart, I think it was
probably someone around us.”
But then, only a few people were aware that my heart was weak. I didn't even tell Timothy about it. So who could it
be who found the heart?
Narrowing his eyes a fraction, Armand strolled over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and gazed at the night view. “Do
you think Robert knows this?”
Steven was silent for a long moment before he replied, “I think he does.”
On the day Ethan was sent to the hospital, the Zanes were gathered outside. Robert was also there. Before the
operation, he would have known that someone had anonymously sent over a compatible heart. He didn't want his
son's heart to be dug out even in death, so he took advantage of the situation and had everyone think that the
heart was Ethan's so that he could be cremated whole. I was only willing to let the Zane family off the hook because
I thought the heart in me belonged to Ethan. I made a deal with him. But if that's not the truth, I don't owe the Zane
family anything.
“Place your whole focus on this matter and investigate thoroughly.” Armand lifted his hand and touched his heart
through his clothes.
Thanks to this heart, I have obtained a second chance at life. I want to know who it was and thank the person to the
best of my ability.
Nodding, Steven handed the document he had been holding to the man. “There's something else, which I'm not
sure whether Mrs. Faulkner has ever mentioned to you.”
Armand took the document and flipped it open, only to see information about Amanda's identity on it.
The names of her parents had been changed to Jack and Lilian. That aside, she had Lostarian citizenship and would
be taking Lilian's family name.
I know better than anyone else how much Genevieve loves our two kids. She even went as far as committing
murder because Harry had threatened her with Mandy's life, leading to her suffering a mental breakdown from
recurring nightmares. Why did she allow Mandy to be adopted by Jack?
He had been through thick and thin with Genevieve for many years, so he was all too aware that she loved him
deeply.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll of a sudden, he recalled Charice luring Jack over that day in Xedells and having the latter learn the truth of it all.
Later, Genevieve broke down. She hid in the bathroom and wept, feeling that it was all her fault, for she ended up
betraying him despite the many sacrifices he had made for her.
Perhaps she felt so guilty because she had some feelings for him.
Without warning, Armand felt his heart throbbing in pain. He couldn't help clutching his chest. Steven's expression
changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
“Are you okay, Mr. Faulkner?”
“I'm fine.” Armand rarely experienced chest pains after his heart transplant, but it was exceedingly painful this
time.
Steven had been working for the man for more than ten years, so he could gather the latter's thoughts. He started,
“I found out that Lilian can never conceive for the rest of her life due to that car accident. Now that Jack has gotten
together with her, the Helt family can't be without an heir. It was also out of consideration for Mandy's safety that
Mrs. Faulkner allowed her to be adopted by Jack.”
Dartan is Jack's territory, so nothing will happen to Mandy with him there.
“Mr. Faulkner, no one can compare to you when it comes to making sacrifices for Mrs. Faulkner. And you have
always been the person she loves,” Steven murmured.
