The young nurse on the right nodded and said, âAbsolutely! The moment we set our eyes on you, we knew you were a stand up guy!â
Balfour chuckled. Whether Iâm a good guy or not depends on whether youâre willing to answer my questions honestlyâ
The two young nurses were a bit puzzled by Balfourâs statement. They looked at each other with confused expressions.
But regardless of their understanding to ensure they could safely leave this place, they decided to cooperate to the best of their abilities.
âSir, just fire away with whatever questions you have! Weâll answer honestly, no beating around the bush!â
Thatâs night! As long as we know, we will definitely do our best to answer!â
Balfour took another sip of his coffee, I heard you two secretly took my blood sample, is that true?â
At Balfourâs question, the expressions of the two young nurses immediately turned stiff.
They hadnât expected it to be about that!
Because that not only violated their professional ethics but also broke the law. They had been doing it covertly without leaving any trace, yet they were still found out?
After seeing that the two young nurses became quiltily silent, Balfour was even more convinced they had done something shady. He frowned and asked, âWhat were you planning to do? Illegal gene editing, or selling my organs on the black market?â
After hearing this, the two nurses snapped back to reality, quickly waving their hands in denial.
âMr. Howard, youâve got it all wrong! Weâre just nurses, we couldnât possibly do that!â
âExactly! We wouldnât dare!â
Balfour raised an eyebrow, his gaze icy and intimidating, âThen why would you steal my blood sample?â
The young nurse on the left hesitated, âWeâ¦
The young nurse on the right was also stuttering, âUmâ¦â
Quinton sternly pressed, âTell the truth! No more excuses; if you want to see your families again, spill it all out! Or elseâ¦â
The two young nurses had just started working after graduation and were timid. They didnât even wait for Quinton to finish his sentence, and they blurted out the truth in fear.
The young nurse on the left spoke first. âMr. Howard, weâre really sorry! Out of cunosity, we secretly took your blood sample and performed a DNA paternity test. We didnât do anything else! Mr. Howard, we swear, we didnât use your blood sample for any malicious purposes!â
The young nurse on the right nodded in agreement. âItâs true! We just did a paternity test! Mr. Howard, we know we were wrong, and we sincerely apologize! Sorry!â
Balfour paused, skeptical of their explanations. He snorted, âWhy would you want to do a DNA paternity test on me? With whom?â
After Quintonâs scare, the two young nurses didnât dare hide anything anymore. They confessed everything âIt was the girl who donated blood with you last time.â
Balfour frowned, âEllinor?â
âYes, itâs Ellinor We overheard you telling Ms. Mendoza to have an abortion in the blood collection room, which made us question your relationship with Ms. Mendoza Out of boredom, we started guessing about your relationship with Ms. Mendoza. She thought you were siblings, and you didnât like your sisterâs boyfriend, so you wanted her to have an abortion.
And I thought you two were lovers, and you were planning to break up, so you asked Ms. Mendoza to have an abortion.
To verify our guesses, we secretly took your blood samples for a kinship test.
Weâre really sorry! We shouldnât have invaded your privacy. Weâve realized our mistake and hope you can forgive us.â
They actually did a kinship test to determine his relationship with Ellinor? This was utterly ridiculous!
After listening to their explanation, Balfour found it not only laughable but also a bit irritating.
