Chapter 182 Truth About Bella

Kiernan silently walked down a hallway, but he then grabbed his suit jacket and ripped it apart before tossing it aside like trash.

'I now know what happened. Bella had two options: kill the baby or leave it to Karma. She decided on the latter. I don't know how to feel.'

He was walking in an empty hallway only a moment ago, but then he saw Nevaeh, the sister of Bella, leaning against the wall while tapping her right foot against the ground.

She didn't have her baby with her.

Kiernan wanted to ignore her and just walk straight past her, but then he heard her speak.

"Did your meeting go well?" Nevaeh looked over. "With my sister?"

"You knew?" Kiernan asked.

"I saw you talk with my sister. I then saw her leave, and shortly after, you left in the same direction, and then I saw my father follow after you."

Nevaeh giggled.

"It must've been an eventful one, right?"

"That's one way to describe it." Kiernan said and walked past her. "Anyways, I gotta leave."

"Are you sure?" Nevaeh asked with a smile. "This might be your last chance to know more about Bella."

Kiernan frowned and looked at her. "Why would you want to tell me anything?"

"Why wouldn't I, my dear nephew?" Nevaeh said with a giggle and opened the door beside her. "Come in—I'll tell you everything you might want to know."@@@@

"You heard the conversation." Kiernan said. "How? You weren't there."

"Hehe." Nevaeh lifted her hand, and a short-winged pigeon landed on her hand. "This is my martial ability—Pigeon Summon—I hear and see everything my pigeon does.

"None of you saw it, but my pigeon was there, perched on top of a tree. I heard everything perfectly~"

Kiernan entered the room. It was a dark room. Nevaeh flicked the lightswitch and saw the room fill with light.

It was an empty room as if this one had never been used before.

Nevaeh closed the door behind her.

"So, what do you have to say?" Kiernan asked.

"We're close." Nevaeh said. "I've kept her secrets with me."

"Your father didn't kill me now." Kiernan said. "Is he looking for a better time to strike? When I am in some dark alleyway, he will ambush me and stick a knife into my heart?"

Nevaeh giggled and shook her head. "No, he's not like that. Your life will be safe. However, you cannot stay on this island any longer."

"Yeah..." Kiernan nodded with a sigh.

"I always wondered what kind of man Bella slept with." Nevaeh said. "Bella said that she just chose a random person from the bar, but I was always curious."

Nevaeh then touched Kiernan's cheek and smiled.

"She sure gave birth to a beautiful boy. I am sure she was happy to see you, so I am thankful for you coming all the way here, it must not have been easy."

"Yeah..." Kiernan opened the door and said. "I must get going now. Take care."

"I don't think this will be the last time you will hear from Bella." Nevaeh said with a wink. "Keep an eye out for pigeons. They might be carrying a message once or twice."

"Uh. Alright?" Kiernan nodded and then left.

Nevaeh left the room as well, headed in the other direction, and soon walked past the courtyard. There was no one there. She kept moving and soon arrived by Bella's room.

She heard the sound of sobbing inside.

Nevaeh opened the door and saw Bella lying flat on her stomach on the bed, her face inside the pillow, crying her eyes out.

"Oh, Bella." Nevaeh sat by the bed, putting her hand on Bella's back, and said. "I happened to meet with your son."

Bella looked away from the pillow, her eyes red and puffy.

"You did?"

"Mm~" Nevaeh nodded. "Strong and gorgeous boy. You must be proud."

Bella bit her lip and turned around to lie on her back, the tears still falling from her eyes.

"The last thing I told him was that I am not her mother. And now he's gone. I might never see him again."

"You can still talk to him, my dear sister." Nevaeh wiped her tears with her thumb and summoned a pigeon from her hand. "I can always send a message on your behalf."

"You will do that to me?" Bella asked with teary eyes.

"Of course~" Nevaeh put her finger on her lips. "Father will never find out."

"Mm..."
