Could it be… He started recalling his memories. Three months before the breakup, on the night of his birthday, she had said she wanted to present herself as a gift to him. He could not refuse and everything happened naturally. Was it that night that she became pregnant with the child? “Who’s the father of the child? Did you find out?” Eugene’s breathing became heavy, and his nerves were tense. “I looked into it, but I couldn’t find any information on the man. Miss Thompson has always been alone. From the birth of the child until now, she has never had contact with any man.” Something crumbled in Eugene’s mind and his hand gripped the information tightly. In that case, the child’s father could be… He already had the answer in his heart but he was uncertain if his guess was accurate. If Rue Thompson was his daughter, had she inherited his genes? There was a little bit of joy just now but it dissipated in a flash like fireworks. It was followed by even greater panic! No, R
The nurse drew some blood from Rue and left. Eugene asked Wyatt to watch over the child while he had a few words with the doctor. In the doctor’s office, Eugene displayed his usual gentlemanly elegance, but there was barely an expression on his face. His eyebrows were also imperceptibly furrowed. “I want the test results as soon as possible.” The doctor adjusted his glasses before saying, “Tomorrow is the soonest. I’ll call you as soon as the results come out.” Eugene was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Okay.” If possible, he would like to get the results now. “Rue, we can go now.” He returned to Rue’s side. “Uncle, is it okay just to draw some blood?” Rue thought that such a medical examination was too simple, right? “Yes, I told you that this doctor is very good. We’ll get the results tomorrow and we’ll see how to treat it then.” “Oh, okay then.” She just needed to trust him and everything would be fine. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you out to eat something deli
After a while, he said calmly, “I took her for a test.” “What test?” Fern’s premonition only grew stronger. The next moment when she heard the man's answer, she almost dropped the phone! The man enunciated each syllable, “Paternity test.” This time, it was her turn to be silent. She was unable to say anything for a while as her heart was shocked! After a long while, she said with a trembling voice, “You… You…” Her hands and body were shaking while her heart was shrouded in fear. What did he know? Why did he suddenly bring Rue for a paternity test? “Are you crazy? Why did you do a paternity test? Rue has nothing to do with you!” “I didn't say it was a paternity test with me. Why are you nervous?” His voice sounded light and nonchalant but it felt like he was mocking her for giving herself away. “Rue Thompson... Why is her last name Thompson? Don't tell me that her father's surname is also Thompson,” he asked abruptly. Fern tried to calm herself down and coldly rebuked,
Eugene’s men pushed Fern and Rue into the car forcefully. They then brought them to another one of his residences outside the Newton household, Midhill Villa. Fern got dragged into a large room, and the door was slammed shut with a loud bang. She turned around and saw Eugene sitting in his wheelchair at the door. His delicate and handsome face was devoid of any emotions. “Eugene Newton! What the heck are you doing? Let me out!” she shouted angrily as he grabbed his collar. “If I let you out, are you going to run away with Rue?” he asked while he narrowed his eyes at her. “I… Run away? What a joke! Why would I run away?” She denied firmly with a stiff expression on her face. “If you weren’t running away, where were you bringing her in the middle of the night with all your luggage?” “I was going on a business trip. It would be easier to take care of her if I brought her along. Can’t I do that?” she questioned him back, blatantly lying through her teeth. She no longer
Were the results of the paternity test out? His hand trembled uncontrollably as he reached out to take hold of his phone! Was Rue Thompson his daughter? Did he wish that she was his daughter? Eugene, who had experienced a near-death event, started feeling terrified at this moment!He did not accept the doctor’s first call. When he called a second time, Eugene only answered it after a moment of hesitation. “Hello?” After speaking, he realized that his throat was dry. It was slightly hoarse too.“President Eugene, the results of the paternity test are out. Based on the results, you and this girl—” “Wait!” Eugene suddenly shouted. His nerves were beyond tense, and his heart was racing as well. He pressed his hand against his chest, feeling like he could no longer handle this. “What’s wrong? President Eugene?” the doctor asked in a confused tone. Eugene took a few breaths to calm himself down. “Continue speaking,” he said. “Alright, you and this girl…” Eugene’s
Sharon headed to the floor that the president’s office was on once she arrived at Simon’s company. She bumped into Xena, who was coming out from the office, when she arrived at the entrance. Both of them almost ran into each other. They stopped in their tracks immediately. Before Sharon could say anything, Xena said, “You’re here, Sharon. Simon is waiting for you inside.” She flashed a radiant and harmless smile at her. Sharon could not stand her overly sweet smile. She smiled faintly at her and nodded her head to respond to her politely. She then walked into the office straight away. Xena glanced at Sharon’s figure with a smile on her face. Nevertheless, a cold glint was flashing across her eyes. She clenched her hands into fists and walked away silently. She must find out what kind of illness Sharon had! Since Sharon was here, Franky excused himself from the office. “Are you still busy?” she asked as she smiled, tilting her head to look at the handsome man sitt
Sharon and Simon returned to the Zachary household to pick up their son. Xena went along with them as well. Penelope was overjoyed when she heard that Simon would be returning home, but the smile on her face instantly disappeared when she saw Sharon with him. She did not know that Sharon would be coming over with him. This was the first time they were meeting each other since Sharon’s return.Penelope narrowed her eyes at Sharon as she glared at her coldly. She sneered at her mockingly, “Isn’t this Miss Newton from the Newton household? So are you Sienna Newton or Sharon Jeans now?” “Sister…” Simon said. He knew that she did not like Sharon, and he had expected that Penelope would make things difficult for her as well. He was just about to speak up for Sharon when he got interrupted by Penelope. “Don’t call me your sister. Do you still treat me as your sister? You announced your engagement without discussing anything with me prior. Let me tell you, I’ll never agree to th
“Is it possible for me not to be angry? Sharon Jeans hurt Simon so badly back then. How dare she come back and get married to him again? How can there be someone as shameless as her?” Penelope questioned angrily. It was getting harder for her to suppress the overwhelming fury within her. Xena had the same thoughts as Penelope. She did not understand how Sharon could be so shameless. Why would Simon fall for a woman like that? She pretended to comfort Penelope by speaking up for Sharon, “Aunt Penelope, perhaps we’ve yet to realize her strengths. Maybe she treats Simon extremely well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to marry anyone else except her. Just let them get married if they want to. Everything’s fine as long as Simon is happy,” she said. “From the moment I got to know her up till now, I’ve never discovered any of her strengths! She’s only a burden to Simon. This cannot be. I won’t allow them to get married!” Penelope shouted as she slammed her hand against the table. Xena
