Chapter 72 Raymond Begins to Doubt
Chapter 72 Raymond Begins to Doubt
A large study was furnished with exquisite desks and new furniture.
Sitting in the chair, Bethany felt a bit uncomfortable and also strange. Raymond's favorite decoration style was a cool and minimalist style, but the decoration here was quite warm.
She had been busy moving today, so hadn't had time to reply to her patients yet. Now, she started replying to the messages one by one.
She answered patiently to every message, including what medications to use, how to take the medications, and precautions until she saw one message.
"I often feel lazy and weak, have a weak appetite, and always think a lot. No medicine worked. Can you cure me?"
Seeing this message, Bethany frowned and thought, "Is this a freak again?"
"How long have you been like this?"
Upon seeing this question, Raymond narrowed his eyes slightly with a wicked smile on his face and texted, "I was born like this."
"May I ask your age?"
"38 years old," Raymond answered casually.
"Have you been like this for 38 years?"
"Yes."
Feeling the joy of a prank, Raymond couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, he felt weird.
He was a person who didn't even joke and was always serious. He never dreamed that one day he would do such a prank online.
"I suggest you get yourself a job and don't be so idle every day."
Upon seeing the reply, Raymond laughed heartily.
"Psycho!" After closing this dialog, Bethany couldn't help but curse, "He interprets laziness so innocent. What a 38-year-old baby. Doesn't he feel ashamed?"
Tyrone had just taken a shower and came out of the bathroom. Passing by the door of the study, he saw Raymond laughing through the half-closed door and was startled.
He had been pretending to be Damion for so long, and it was his first time to see Raymond smile so happily. "What is he looking at?" He was curious.
Tyrone gently pushed the door in and tiptoed to Raymond. He recited the words on the screen, "I suggest you..."
Clap! Raymond quickly closed his laptop and asked, "When did you come in?"
"When you were laughing happily," Tyrone asked curiously, "Daddy, what were you looking at just now? You were laughing so happily just now?" "Nothing."
"Are you in love?"
Raymond was confused by his question.
"I heard Nolan say that people tend to have silly giggles when they are in love, just like you did just now."
"What the hell has Nolan taught you? Hurry back to sleep!" Raymond scolded.
"Okay," Tyrone muttered as he came out of the study, "he was laughing so happily but suddenly became so fierce. A boring man."
After Tyrone left, Raymond reopened his laptop. Seeing Bethany offline, he turned off his laptop and left the study.
Raymond went to rest, but Bethany couldn't sleep. She stood in front of the French window, looking out at the beautiful night scene.
She thought, "Parkville looks so big. To find a person in such a big city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. My poor son, where are you?"
...
The next day, Raymond was in a meeting all morning, and after a morning of discussion, it was finally determined that Ocean International Company had won the bid.
"After you have drafted the contract, show it to me first," Raymond said to Morgan, "Also, contact the person in charge of Ocean International Company and arrange a meeting. We still need to discuss details with him face-to-face."
"Okay, Mr. Zavala," Morgan said, "As far as I know, Mr. Gavin has been in Parkville since returning home and has been waiting to meet you."
Raymond really didn't understand Gavin's behavior and wanted to ask him about the reason when they met.
"Raymond, you bastard," Nolan cursed as he walked over, "You called me to come over just to make me wait for you to finish the meeting?"
Before the meeting, Raymond called Nolan and asked him to come to the company, telling him that he needed help. Raymond didn't expect the meeting to last so long and felt a bit sorry for Nolan.
"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you," Raymond said as he walked into the elevator. Nolan's eyes lit up and he followed Raymond into the elevator.
Nolan was rarely invited by Raymond to dinner, and of course, he was going to let him spend a big money. He chose the most upscale restaurant and ordered the most expensive steak and wine. "It's rare for you to ask for my help." Nolan asked while cutting his steak, "What can I do for you?"
"Let me ask you a question. What is the probability that two children of the same age are almost identical but not twins?"
Nolan stopped cutting the steak and thought for less than a second before saying, "From the medical point of view, twin brothers can't look totally the same. The probability of that two people who are not related by blood are exactly the same is almost zero."
"Almost zero," Raymond muttered.
"Why did you ask this question?" Nolan asked in puzzlement.
"I'm just curious," Raymond continued after taking a sip of wine, "Nothing."
"Are you already bored to this point?" Nolan couldn't help but sigh, "Are you still the Raymond I'm acquainted with?"
Raymond didn't speak.
Nolan put a piece of steak in his mouth and chewed it, continuing, "I just make the judgment from the medical perspective. However, nothing is too strange in the world. It's normal to have two unrelated highly similar people in the world, but they can't be completely the same. They must have differences which may be too small to be noticed."
Raymond kept thinking about something, and after a while, he put down his knife and fork and looked at Nolan seriously. "You didn't see Aria pregnant or giving birth back then, did you?" "Why are you asking that?"
"Answer me."
"I had been abroad back then. I didn't hear any news about her pregnancy. When I came back, the children were born," Nolan replied honestly.
"Is it possible that the person who gave birth to the children was not Aria?"
Nolan was totally frightened by the question. "Raymond, are you crazy? What are you talking about?"
