Chapter 787
Seeing Noah outside the door, Sheena and Elliot exchanged glances, evidently surprised to see him.
Noah was soaked through, and he hesitated to come in and wet the carpets. He stood by the door, staring at Sheena with his cool gaze.
Sheena was confused.
However, she recalled the recent events involving the Lawson family and asked coldly, “What brings you here at this hour and weather? Is there an emergency?”
After catching his breath, Noah explained, these past few days
“Nana, I haven’t been able to see you because I’ve been under surveillance. Tomorrow is the return banquet, and I had to shake off those watchful eyes and sneak over.”
Sheena’s heart softened instantly, and she turned to Elliot, saying, “Get Noah a thick towel and make some ginger tea to warm him up.”
“Okay.”
With a thick towel in hand, Noah dried himself as much as he could before entering the living room.
Elliot went to make the ginger tea while Sheena sat on the couch.
“Noah, Just say what you need to say.”
Noah nodded. He was never one to beat around the bush.
“Although Frazer is my mentor, I don’t fully trust his paternity test, so I brought this.”
He took a handkerchief from his suit lining containing strands of Albert’s hair.
Sheena looked slightly surprised and stared at Noah.
“But Noah, it’s late now. Even if we use your connections to send this to the hospital for testing, it won’t be done by tomorrow.
Noah shook his head. “I don’t trust anyone else, so I came personally this time. You just need to provide me with silver staining reagent and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.”
“Alright, the Jenkins family medical team should have these. I’ll have Lionel bring them over.”
Noah nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Nana, on the day Dad had the accident, I didn’t say anything. Did you… blame me for that?”
Bringing up this matter angered Sheena.
Only she knew how isolated and helpless she felt facing her distrustful relatives that day. Saying she was not angry at all would be lying and unlike her nature.
She gave Noah a cold glare, leaned closer, and lightly hit his shoulder.

“Of course I did. I even thought about not wanting to deal with you anymore and pretending you’re not longer my brother.”
Hearing her words, Noah’s eyes dimmed with guilt.
Sheena continued, “But I’ve hit you, so I’m not angry anymore. I forgive you.”
Noah’s eyes lit up. He grabbed her wrist and used her fist to punch his chest lightly.
“That didn’t hurt at all. It’s not enough to let off steam. Give me a few more punches.”
Sheena chuckled and pulled her hand back.
“It’s fine. I’m really not angry anymore.”
Noah breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression turned serious as he remembered something
else.
“Nana, while I was taking care of Dad these past few days, I found something in his room, and there’s someone in the house… acting very strangely.”
Seeing the complexity in his eyes, Sheena sobered up again.
She listened quietly to Noah’s account, her heart growing heavier and colder with each word.
Noah shared all his recent discoveries with her. Noticing her increasingly distressed expression, he quickly reassured her.
“Nana, this is just my speculation, and it’s not confirmed yet. We can’t jump to conclusions. You should hear his explanation at tomorrow’s return banquet.”
Sheena was not irrational. She immediately nodded in agreement.
There was another knock on the door.
Sheena checked the time and was surprised.
“Lionel came really quickly. I just finished sending him a message, and he already ntanaged to gather everything so fast.”
She got up to open the door, with Noah following behind.
The door swung open.
Outside stood another man, drenched from head to toe, his chest heaving heavily.
It was evident he had also scaled the wall to get there.
