Chapter 108 Henry moved quickly and pulled me into his embrace. I hid my sorry face in his broad chest and cried out.
âBrother, you said that my child will have nothing to do with Leo, then why is this report positive?
What went wrong?
You never commit a mistake, then how?â
My anguished sobs echoed in the corridors as my heartache spilled from my lips, I didnât care whether anyone was watching me or not. The foundation of my life crumbled down in a split second, turning it into ashes, there was no limit to my sorrow today.
Henry stood there still, frozen by an extreme shock, the regret was evident from his teary voice.
âI apologize for my inadequacy, Laura. As your brother, I should have moved heaven and earth to bring happiness in your life, but I couldnât give you what you asked for.
I am a failure, Laura!
There is no forgiveness for me.â
Henry handled the matter of the false IVF file seriously and started an investigation, he dug out all the old records to find out the facts and figures. After extensive research and a lot of brainstorming, it turned out that a lab technician had mixed the samples for IVF rounds, resulting in a mistake that could never be corrected.
âAt that time, there were hundreds of samples in the lab, the technician labeled the boxes. wrongly after selection.
We are extremely sorry, Sir.â
That was the response we got from the fertility clinic. My brother wanted to file a petition.
against that clinic to shut it down, but I asked him.
âʼn doesnât matter whether we sue them or not, brother. We canât reserve the time and change the labels.
Itâs irreversible damage!â
In this dire situation. I got some hope from Brightâs return, who processed his emotions in solitude and came back to support me.
âLaura is right, Henry. Going to the court will only imperil our good name. Besides.â
He explained the risks of the media trial, and its adverse effects on Janeâs life, calming Henryâs anger. He said.
âBesides, I am with Laura as her fiancé. Jane calls me daddy, and I am more than honored to be her father.
A mere report canât ensure love and affection related to this sacred bond.â
âBright!â
My eyes welled up with tears as I hugged him, his statement swayed my heart.
âThank you so much for being a constant in my life, Bright. I donât know what I would do without you?â
Bright told me that he was sad for a while, a bit jealous as well, but Janeâs one call cleared the thick haze of uncertainty.
âI was sulking in the corner, cursing my fate: Why canât I be the father of such a wonderful little girl?
That was when I received Janeâs message, she sent me a voice note after calling me twice.â
He played that voice note for us, âDaddy, I know that you are busy at work, but you canât spare some time to see me?
I miss you, daddy!â
The love dripping from my daughterâs cute volo made me realize that paternity and DNA tests held no importance in family life.
Leo could be Janeâs dad in the papers, but Bright was. the one she adored as her daddy.
Her contentment was the only thing that would make any difference!
Under the light of a newfound clarity, I breathe a sigh of relief, Bright had saved me from an endless torment once again. I must have done some good deeds in my past life that God blessed me with a loving partner, he was mature enough to navigate through the complexities of life.
After organizing my wayward emotions, I centered upon all my energies on my daughterâs recovery. Jane was ecstatic to meet Bright.
âWhy didnât you come to see me at lunch, daddy? I was waiting for you.â
Her innocent complaint made us smile. Bright instantly sat beside her on the bed, grasping his ears with both hands.
âPlease forgive your daddy for once, my princess. I was stuck in a meeting.â
Bright indeed kept his words of taking care of Jane as his own daughter and fed her dinner.
âI couldnât eat lunch without you, Jane. So, we must eat the whole bowl now.â
As Jane didnât like tasteless porridge, Bright used the excuse of his hunger and ate with her. She tugged his arm and spoke dolefully.
âI am sorry to worry you, daddy. The doctor uncle says that I will be discharged soon.â
Bright kissed her forehead, soothing her vexation.
âDaddy isnât indignant, my princess. I just want you to be healthy, then we can play like before.
Donât be sad. Itâs not your fault!â
I took out the board game from the drawer to play with Jane, the doctors had advised us to keep her busy in her free time. We were setting the board when the door was knocked.
I thought that it would be the night nurse for Janeâs medicine, however, the door opened and revealed the gist of all the problems 1ewâs eaningful voice slithered into my ears.
âWhat about we play the game of truth of dare, tarting from the names of
