They opened the door, and Vernon and Helena entered.
"Uncle Hubert," Helena greeted him with a smile.
During their previous call, Hubert had said that he was a good friend of her mother's and hence she should address him as such.
"Helena? Come here," Hubert smiled and welcomed them in. His eyes never left Helena's face.
This was the first time he met her, after all.
The last time at the party, he had met Vernon but not Helena. So, he never knew what she looked like.
They met and sat opposite each other. They had a small talk for a little while. Mostly about Helena's mother and Helena's life in general.
The elder asked her a few questions regarding her, and the couple answered him patiently to each and every one of them.
"Uncle Hubert, what exactly was my mom searching for when she was alive? She had never talked about that to me before. But I found that she was searching through multiple hospitals and was looking through DNA databases everywhere.
