My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 247

It was noon. Tianye and Kerry were having lunch in a small restaurant. They didn’t get any message for the past few days and they were in no mood to talk to one another.

Suddenly, Tianye’s phone rang. He didn’t recognize the number and he thought it was a scam phone call, so he didn’t pick it up.

But a few minutes later, his phone rang again and it was still the same number. Tianye put his chopsticks down and picked it up. He said impatiently: “Who is it?”

He heard a hoarse voice saying: “Hello. Are you the person who went to the police station three days ago and did a DNA test?”

Tianye became nervous. He said: “Yes. I am.”

“A friend of yours stayed at my home that day. And is he with you? Can I talk to him?”

Tianye passed the phone to Kerry and said: “He wants to talk to you.”

Kerry was surprised. “Why doesn’t he just call me?”

Kerry took the phone and said: “Hello, this is Kerry.”

Mr Zhong sighed with relief. “Finally! I’m Mr Zhong. Remember? Three days ago you lived in my house.”

“Oh, sure. I remember you. Mr Zhong. What’s the matter?” Kerry had a sense of foreboding.

Mr Zhong said: “That day I told you about a retarded man living in the village next to ours, and I told you that he will get married today.”

Kerry thought about it and said: “Yes. Mrs Zhong said that man should never get married.”

“Yeah! That’s him. I went to his wedding ceremony to cook earlier today. And I heard about something and I think you should know about it.”

Kerry was feeling rather nervous. He said: “What is it? Mr Zhong.”

Mr Zhong said: “At first, people say that Gawa’s bride is Wang Li’s cousin. But Wang drank too much and he got very drunk and he said the bride is not his cousin at all. He said he found her in a river and took her back home.”

“What!” Kerry stood up in an instant. The other people all looked at him.

Mr Zhong continued: “I think if he is not lying, the bride is probably the woman you are looking for. I saw her this morning, and she is tall and beautiful. She doesn’t look like someone from the village.”

Kerry felt his heart was pounding violently. He said: “Mr Zhong, do you know her name?”

“Nobody knows. She was taken directly to Gawa’s home. She seems a little bit retarded and she doesn’t talk a lot. She can’t even see.”

Kerry felt his heart was pierced by what he said. He couldn’t imagine what Venus had must gone through if the bride is really her.

“I am not one hundred percent sure about it. But I think you should come and check it. What if she is.”

“Thank you. Thank you so very much, Mr Zhong. We will go back immediately. Thank you.” Kerry said in a shaking voice.

“No problem. You must be quick. Gawa is a retarded person. I’m afraid if you are late.......”

“I know. Mr Zhong. Thank you very much.” Kerry knew what Mr Zhong was worried about. He hung up the phone and said to Henry: “Pay the bill. We will go to the house where we stayed three days ago.”

Kerry was pretty sure that bride is none other than Venus.
