No person could resist the charm of adorable children, and Jacob was no exception.
Sunshine and Felix took turns utilizing their soft, sweet voices to praise Jacob. Regardless of how cold and distant he was, he could not repel these two chattering cuties.
Noticing Jacobâs patience, Esther sighed with relief. She glanced nervously at Anna, wanting to share her discovery from last night.
However, that was not the most important thing right now. Esther decided it would be better. to wait a little longer before confiding in Anna.
Suddenly, Annaâs phone rang, Esther looked at Anna nervously and asked with a trembling voice, âHas the DNA test result been released?â
âYes,â Anna replied.
Anna walked over to the DNA test window, holding the phone with the received message, and showed it to the staff.
After a quick look at the phone screen, the analysis center staff said, âPlease wait a moment.â
Five minutes later, they handed Anna a document with the test results.
Esther couldnât wait and eagerly grabbed the document. Without hesitation, she went straight to the last page and carefully inspected it.
To her dismay, the test still showed that Pixie was not her daughter.
âThis canât be true!â Estherâs expression became restless.
Anna swiftly took the document from Estherâs hands and examined it carefully again. âEsther, this DNA test still indicates that Pixie is not your daughter.â
Estherâs face paled as disbelief washed over her. âBut this canât be right. When I did the DNA test with Tinkerbell, it clearly proved sheâs my daughter. Why is it different now?â
âEsther, this is a DNA analysis center operated in collaboration with the court and police. I collected Pixieâs sample myself, ensuring no tampering occurred. Both DNA tests conclusively show that Pixie isnât biologically related to you. Could it be that sheâs not your biological daughter, after all?â
Annaâs words made Estherâs expression freeze for a moment.
She couldnât help but wonder if Bradley had purposely misled her about Tinkerbell and Pixie being her daughters.
Was it all a plot to manipulate her into donating her bone marrow to Felix? Or did Bradley know from the start that Tinkerbell wasnât his daughter, and thatâs why he heartlessly denied her pleas for time?
However, if it was all Bradleyâs scheme, why did Tinkerbellâs DNA test return positive?
âAnna, this canât be possible,â Estherâs legs weakened, her heart sinking. She looked at Anna with tear-
filled eyes, struggling to believe what she was hearing. âEven if Bradley hates me, he wouldnât use a pair of fake twins to deceive me, would he?â
Anna gently supported the weakened Esther to sit on a nearby chair and consoled her. âEsther, have you ever considered that you were the most active one in searching for Pixie while Bradley seemed indifferent to her?â
Upon Annaâs reminder, Esther carefully pondered the matter and realized it might indeed be the case.
âAnna, if Pixie is not my biological daughter, then where is my real child? And why does the DNA test with Tinkerbell match?â Estherâs face showed utter despair.
Jacob coolly raised his gaze, his voice tinged with coldness. âYou can find out if Pixie is your daughter by arranging another DNA test.â
âButâ¦â Estherâs stunning face filled with hopeless anguish. âI canât find Pixie.â
She had no idea of her whereabouts. And if she found her and did another DNA test, only to discover that Pixie was not her biological daughter, then..
