Chapter 2168

Jim furrowed his brows and stood up, moving to another spot so he could answer the call.
Before he could take another step forward, however, Harvey grabbed the hem of Jim’s top.
“Daddy, didn’t you just tell me that you’ve made up your mind to be with Mommy? Why do you plan on
taking this call behind my back now? Are you still thinking about searching for Number 9?”
Even though Jim had never told Harvey about Number-9, Harvey grew up together with June, and
Christopher, the girl’s father, was a parent who treated June like a friend.

Hence, no matter what June asked, Christopher would tell June if he felt that June could understand.
Christopher, thus, must have told June about Number-9.

Since June knew about Number-9’s existence, there was no reason that Harvey did not know about her.
Harvey clearly heard Assistant Lowe mention the children’s home from the other line, so he knew that
this call must have been about Number-9.

Jim’s brows furrowed at Harvey’s words and stern expression

Jim was silent for a good few seconds before he sighed and sat back down on the sofa next to Harvey.

Then, he switched the call to speaker mode. “Assistant Lowe, what new information do you have?”
Assistant Lowe paused for a second before he began his report, “I contacted Mr. Duncan’s daughter.

She grew up in the children’s home too and had many memories with children living there.

Moreover, she is still in contact with most of the people on the name list.

Although she’s not sure what name Number-9 goes with at present, she can use her identity to help you
ask around…” After finishing that, Assistant Lowe took a deep breath. “She…also asked me something.



Do you know anything else about Number-9, apart from the fact that that’s her number and that red was
her favorite color?” Jim furrowed and muttered to himself, “Other information…” He narrowed his eyes
and suddenly thought of the birthmark on Number-9’s shoulder.

She could throw away a token, and her favorite color might not be red anymore.

She could even forget her name, too. The birthmark on her shoulder, however, could not be erased.
Even Charlotte, who knew Number-9 so well that she could pretend to be her, did not know about this
birthmark.

Jim had noticed the birthmark because he had helped Number-9 wrap up her wound on the shoulder
when she had a fight with another child. Thinking of this, Jim furrowed said, “Number-9 has a birthmark
on her shoulder.

It’s on the right side, in fact.” Assistant Lowe quickly recorded down the information and repeated, “So,
Ms.

Number-9 has a birthmark on the side of her shoulder, yes? Do you remember the shape of the
birthmark?”

Jim pressed on his brows.

“It’s red-long and meandering.

It looked terrible.” Despite the unsightly shape and color, however, Jim could never forget it since it was
Number-9’s birthmark. Assistant Lowe nodded.

“Have you any more that I should note, Mr. Landry? I will record them all.” Jim’s brows furrowed in deep
thought.



“That’s all.”
“Understood.

I will contact Ms.

Duncan now.” Assistant Lowe instantly hung soon after. After putting away the phone, Jim turned around
to look at Harvey, who gave him quite the peculiar stare.

It was as if he was staring at a stranger instead of his father. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Jim
curled his lips and extended his hand toward Harvey, but the boy dodged it keenly.
