Chapter 253: Qin Zehan’s nephew

But now that he thought about it, Alex might possess a well-built exterior but he lacked physical strength, or else he would not have been frightened every time he was threatened to be sent to the military. So, who did he mess with?

’’President, I will investigate it right now.’’

Qin Zehan remained silent for a moment before he spoke up, ’’Check if any of this is related to Maxim Warner,’’ Alex had no reason to react so strongly at the mention of Maxim unless that man had something to do with him.

Qin Zehan hung up on the call and stepped out of the office.

’’Excuse me, can you tell me where to find Dr. Qin?" he stopped to ask a nurse on his way.

’’Are you a patient?" The nurse did a once over of him and when he remained silent, she blurted, ’’You can’t meet Dr. Qin at the moment. That VIP patient has kicked a fuss again. Even Dr. Warner is heading there.’’

’’Dr. Warner? VIP patient?" Qin Zehan looked at her, seemingly confused.

The nurse sighed. Most of the patients who had been around during these two days were aware of the circumstances so she assumed that this person must be unaware of it. Looking at his curious expression, she briefly explained, ’’Yes, it’s Louis, the patient both Dr. Warner and Dr. Qin operated on while being in the same team for the first time. They... It has nothing to do with you. Why are you delaying me? I need to find the head nurse.’’

The nurse shook her head before running off.

Qin Zehan looked at her retreating back before he started heading towards the VIP wards.

It seemed to him like Alex knew this Maxim Warner rather well.

His doubts were not unnecessary.

Alex was not only familiar with Maxim, but he also seemed to dislike the latter. But in the whole picture, where did Logan Parker fit? Where did that lady fit? Why would she run away at the sight of him?

Lost in his thoughts, Qin Zehan bumped into someone.

’Crash’

’’Apologies,’’ Qin Zehan stepped back, ’’I was lost in my head,’’ he squatted to pick up the phone that dropped on the floor.

At the same time, another hand reached towards the phone that had split into two, ’’That’s fine.’’

Sighing, Qin Zehan pushed himself to his feet as he spoke, ’’I can compensate...’’ The rest of his words died in his throat when his eyes landed on the person in front of him.

’’No need,’’ Logan did not spare a gaze at him before walking past him.

Qin Zehan stood rooted to his spot. The sight of that familiar face was deeply imprinted in his eyes.

That familiar face. A spitting image of his brother whom he hadn’t seen in years. The piercing reminder of a past that should have stayed buried forever.

He could still hear his father’s excited voice ringing in his ears, ’Our Ah Xian takes after his father. Your elder brother looked just the same when he was this young,’ Qin Zehan still remembered those words.

’Parker’

The surname clicked in his mind out of nowhere, striking something he had failed to notice before.

With a slight tremble in his fingers, he pulled out his phone and called his secretary again.

"Yize.’’

’’Yes, President?" a confused voice answered from the other side.

’’Did you... Did you tell me that Logan Parker was an orphan who was later adopted by an old lady?"

’’Yes, President,’’ came Yize’s hesitant response. Lately, his Boss had been asking him to investigate a lot of people and incidents, and that sent his mind buzzing with confusion even though he had undergone quite strict training to be a proficient secretary.

’’And, she passed away?" Qin Zehan asked.

’’It seems so.’’

’’Her name?" Before Yize could answer, Qin Zehan added, ’’Was she... called Gwen Parker?"

’’It seems... President, how did you know?"

Qin Zehan closed his eyes for a few moments, unable to respond to Yize’s queries anymore.

When he opened his eyes, there was a hint of clarity in them, ’’Send me the picture of this man again.’’

’’Yes.’’

Qin Zehan hung up and brought his phone in front of him.

As the picture started appearing with a blank background, a myriad of emotions filled his heart.

He did not know what he was expecting.

Did he want Logan Parker to be who he thought he was?

Maybe. That would assure him that, that young boy survived all those ordeals and was raised well.

But if his doubt turned out to be wrong, then all his hopes would be turned into a flurry of disappointments.

As the picture appeared on his phone, Qin Zehan was stumped for words.

For a moment, he felt blank.

And then a burst of happiness spread inside his chest.

The picture on his phone undoubtedly matched the person he had bumped into earlier.

The spitting image of his elder brother.

Qin Zehan’s nephew.

Qin Xian. Logan Parker. Both of them were the same person.

And a few pieces of the puzzle suddenly clicked in all the right places.

Without giving it another thought, Qin Zehan turned around and walked in the direction Logan had walked off.

...

Logan was walking towards the elevator while holding his broken phone in his hand. There was a touch of annoyance on his cold face as he glanced at the thoroughly cracked glass.

When the elevator door opened, he did not even look up until he heard a familiar voice.

’’You are leaving without meeting the patient?" Maxim stepped out of the elevator, not surprised at the sight of Logan. He had more or less expected him to be here.

A small frown marred Logan’s face, ’’What has it got to do with you?"

Maxim shrugged a shoulder, ’’Just asking.’’

Logan’s gaze scanned Maxim from head to toe before he remarked, ’’You seem quite idle,’’ one could clearly read ’I am the king. I own the world,’ on Maxim’s face.
