Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife

Chapter 993 - 1032: Awakening From the Dream

"Earlier, I saw a man visiting the Quinn Family estate several times. After checking into it, I found out he was a private detective. Originally, I thought Uncle had hired him to investigate the drugging incident. But it turns out, the man was searching for the whereabouts of a child. It seems Uncle is looking for a child, and he has some clues now."

Alessia Quinn’s face changed as she exchanged a glance with Michael Quinn. If their clues were combined, then it was very likely...

"Could it be that Uncle really has a child and has found them? Is he going to do a paternity test now?" Alessia Quinn exclaimed. If that were true, it would definitely not be good news for them.

If Uncle has a biological child, then in the future, the one who inherits the Quinn Family will only be Uncle’s child. Even if they could get something, it would only be a tiny part.

"Should we tell Dad about this?" Alessia Quinn pondered.

"Tell him what? Are we going to tell Dad we’re following Uncle? You know Dad always defers to Uncle!" Michael Quinn said, a cruel look flashing in his eyes, "Even if Uncle really has a biological child, what does it matter? If he comes into the Quinn Family, I’ll kill him!"

Alessia Quinn was shocked by the malice in her brother’s eyes. She feared he would do whatever it takes, even murder, to seize the Quinn Family!

"No... Alice... don’t!" At night, Mabel Quinn lay on the bed, her face almost twisting into a knot, her head shaking violently, as if trapped in a nightmare.

Kyle Kinston was awakened by Mabel Quinn’s sleep-talking, watching her pained expression and the randomly grabbing hands. "Mabel, wake up! Wake up!" He grasped her hand that was grabbing aimlessly in the air and shouted.

But she was still stuck in the dream, repeatedly shouting, "Alice... I’m sorry... I’m sorry, it’s my fault... don’t go over there, don’t go over there..."

Kyle Kinston’s brow furrowed. Was she dreaming about Alice Conley? Even in her dreams, she felt guilty toward Alice Conley?

"Mabel! Wake up!" he called softly.

"Ah!" Her eyes suddenly opened wide, staring into his eyes, even without focus.

He quickly turned on the light, and the room was flooded with illumination. It seemed to make her slowly come to her senses, her gaze gradually gaining focus, "Kyle..." she murmured.

"Yes, it’s me," he said. "You had a nightmare just now?"

A nightmare? She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, and after a while, she opened her eyes again and said, "Yes, I had a nightmare. I’ll... I’ll go wash my face first."

As she spoke, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and hurried to the bathroom.

Once in the bathroom, Mabel Quinn looked at her pale face in the mirror. Just now, she dreamed of Alice Conley. Alice stood at the edge of a cliff, crying and asking her why she didn’t help more, why she let Alice’s family fall apart, and why she, the best friend, remained indifferent?

She was really afraid that Alice would fall off the cliff like this. But except for apologizing, she couldn’t say anything else.

She turned on the tap, warm water gushing out. But as she used that warm water to wash her face, more tears streamed from her eyes.
