At this moment, someone knocked on the door.Sharon looked over.It was Daniel.He entered the ward
and then put down the flowers in his hand.
"You feelin’ better, Miss Allyson?"
"Much better, thanks."
Tiffany felt uncomfortable the moment he got in.
Hence, she found an excuse to get out since they probably had something to talk about anyway.
After the door was closed, Daniel began, "It's good to see you well, Miss Allyson.....You don't have to
worry about anything besides your health right now.Mr.Proctor and w.....will take care of everything."
Sharon thought for a few seconds before asking, "How do you plan to take care of it?"
"We'll have to wait for the autopsy results first."
They had kept Josh Allyson before for details of the past and also the whereabouts of Doris's grave.
But now, it seemed to matter no more.
"No matter what, Josh Allyson was the one who did everything," said Sharon.
Daniel nodded, "I understand."
Sharon didn't think he understood at all, so she added, "It has nothing to do with Ruben."
"Of course not! Why.....why do you mention this all of a sudden?"
"Just saying.You saw Josh Allyson yesterday as well.He was like a mad dog, biting anyone in sight.He
wanted to pull Ruben down to he*! with him."
Daniel felt the same about this.
Josh Allyson was spitting venom and fire yesterday.
Even though everyone had known what kind of a character he was, having him as a father was an
entirely different pain to swallow.
Daniel sat down on the sofa, speaking slowly, "Ruben's already twenty-three.He's a grown man with his
own thoughts and ideas.I believe he will not take it to heart.And Mr.Proctor has already made sure that
it will be kept secret.It won't do him any further damage."
Sharon agreed, "And now I even doubt if he really is Josh Allyson's son."
Daniel was surprised to hear this.
"Miss Allyson, what do you mean?"
"Perhaps you don't know Josh Allyson as well as I do.He's full of sh*t.And he loves to see others in
pain.He repeatedly mentions that Ruben is his son-he wants to see Ruben suffer! It's hard for me to
believe that he's really Ruben's father at this point."
Daniel frowned, "But we've checked everything....."
"Everything can be faked,"
Sharon looked at him calmly, "even a man's past and face.Am I wrong?"
Sharon's question caught him unprepared.He was so uncertain about it that he had to look away from
her gaze.
Before he could talk, Sharon spoke again, "Tavis Beale managed to fake his identity for such a long
time, so why is it so improbable that Josh Allyson managed to tamper with the birth record?"
Hearing her say "Tavis" instead "Talon" was a big relief.
He even agreed with her opinion.
"Yeah, it makes sense.Josh Allyson looks like a coward, but he’s rotten to the core.It's beyond the
average man to hide a corpse behind the closet for so many years."
Sharon nodded, "That's why I think the truth is not that simple."
After some contemplation, Daniel asked, "But how could Josh Allyson anticipate what would happen
now from so many years ago-when Ruben was just born-and then decided to change the birth record?"
"He didn't.When he died in prison, Ruben and I went to clean up his belongings.We came across his
diary.Based on it, he loved my mom for a long time.He loved her mad.After the incident of the Beale
Family, my mom, for some reason, took me to move in with him and even married him.
"But if my mom had been pregnant before that, Josh Allyson would take Ruben as his own son for the
sake of saving face—or even for the sake of love.It makes sense either way."
"I understand your point now.I will investigate it."
Sharon smiled faintly, "It's fine.Jameson's already on it."
Daniel didn't say anything more after this.Speaking too much would only cause her suspicion.
Sharon went on talking, "Ruben lived with you for some time.It must be a lot of trouble for you, but I can
see that you two get along well.Would you do me another favor?"
"Miss Allyson, I will do my best."
"I want you to take care of Ruben for me."
This unexpected request confused him.Although he liked Ruben, they didn't really see each other that
often."
"Ruben stays in school most of the time.We don't get to meet each other often.But if he needs
anything, I'll always offer my help."
He didn't think Ruben would ever ask him for help, though.
Sharon smiled to put an end to this conversation, "Thank you so much."
Daniel didn't stay any longer.
After some casual exchange, he said his goodbye.
Upon getting downstairs, he saw Tiffany sit on a long bench not far away, looking at the sky, deep in
thought.
He stood still for two minutes and eventually decided to go to her.
Tiffany didn't have enough sleep.
She felt tired and drowsy under the comfortable and warm sunlight.
As she was about to fall asleep, a deep, sexy male voice came, "Found a good place yet?"
Tiffany woke up with a start.
All the sleepiness was gone in a second.
She turned in the direction of the voice and found that Daniel, since who knows when, had sat down
next to her.
After a while, she finally remembered how to talk, "Na.....Nah, I'm too busy right now."
She moved a bit by bit away from him as she was talking.Daniel looked unaware of it.
He went on, "I've asked the landlord next door.He says you can move back in anytime you want."
Tiffany faked a deliberate smile, "Nah, it's fine.I don't like to linger on things of the past.I'd rather find
someplace new right now."
"Well, tell me when you find a place then.I'll help you move."
'....Wow, how kind of you!’ thought Tiffany in sarcasm.
She put an arm on the bench and clasped it on the edge with her fingers.
"I thought you're leaving, right? When?" asked Tiffany hesitantly.
