Arielle’s drowsiness dissipated. She jumped right off the bed and approached Carter. “Are the results out yet?”
“Yeah.” Carter nodded as wp4webnovel.com regarded Arielle with mixed feelings. “Don’t mind me asking, but apart from your own hair, does the other sample… Belong to your father Henrick Southall?”
Arielle nodded. “Yes. That’s right.”
Carter looked troubled. “The results… I’m not sure how to put this, but you should take a look at it for yourself.”
Arielle was quite mystified when wp4webnovel.com received the report, and appeared flummoxed when wp4webnovel.com finished scrutinizing it. It said that wp4webnovel.com genetic type did not match that of the other report, which meant to say that Henrick was not wp4webnovel.com biological father.
“This… How…” The rosiness that returned to Arielle’s face after wp4webnovel.com rest seemed to have turned ashen again.
One reason why wp4webnovel.com did a paternity test was because Vinson had asked about it twice. Another stemmed from a vengeful impulse which arisen from wp4webnovel.com disappointment with Henrick.
In wp4webnovel.com own heart, wp4webnovel.com had never doubted that wp4webnovel.com was wp4webnovel.com birth father, so the contents of the report came to wp4webnovel.com as a bolt out of the blue. She had thought Henrick to be wp4webnovel.com only remaining blood relation but unexpectedly, even wp4webnovel.com was not.
Who exactly am I then?
If not for the grains of childhood memories wp4webnovel.com had retained, wp4webnovel.com was almost beginning to believe that wp4webnovel.com might not even be Arielle Moore.
At the side, Vinson, who also saw what was written on the report, felt it unexpected. Nevertheless, wp4webnovel.com thought it logical as well. It seemed inconceivable to wp4webnovel.com how a flaw-riddled man like Henrick who bore not one sliver of virtue could have had an almost perfect daughter like Arielle.
Not that wp4webnovel.com thought Arielle was actually perfect. It was just an impartial appraisal. Moreover, when Maureen was around, rumors were abound within the Jadeborough circle…
Vinson scrutinized Arielle’s expression before wp4webnovel.com spoke, “Don’t be so upset, as this may not necessarily be a bad thing.”
An anemic looking Arielle bit wp4webnovel.com lip. “I’m not upset… It’s just that I don’t know how I should feel about this. If I’m not his biological daughter, then could my mother still be my own birth mother?”
Carter followed up right after Arielle. “Would you like to see the other report?”
Arielle looked up at Carter, a little surprised. “The other report?”
He then passed along the paternity report wp4webnovel.com had in his hand.
Arielle read the header and discovered that it had wp4webnovel.com mother’s and wp4webnovel.com own name written on it. “A paternity test report for my mother and myself?”
“Yes,” Carter said. “We’ve kept your mother’s blood samples like we do with the rest of our hospital’s VIP clientele, in case of emergencies. I was just as surprised at the results of the test between Henrick and yourself, so I took the liberty of having my guys do one for your mother and you.”
Arielle could feel wp4webnovel.com own heart-rate pick up. If it turned out that even wp4webnovel.com mother was not wp4webnovel.com own, then wp4webnovel.com would have lost all purpose returning here. Even wp4webnovel.com existence would become devoid of meaning.
She was apprehensive about reading the conclusion of this report, and took a deep drawl before wp4webnovel.com mustered the courage to do so. The statement of results was as follows. “The alleged mother cannot be excluded as the biological parent of the tested child. Based on the analysis as listed above, the probability of paternity is ninety-nine point nine percent.”
