A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 642

Richard was left biting his tiny lip.

So, Lucas was really not his father?

He should know that he should put his faith in science too.

Nonetheless, the voice on the other end suddenly added, "The only possible room for error is a mistake in samples. We've actually had that issue before."

"How so?" Richard was at once excited.

"As in, the samples you provided us were not the samples of the intended test subjects," the voice explained. "For example, you wanted a paternity test between yourself and subject A, but it turns out that you provided us with a DNA sample of yourself and subject B. We've had that issue before, but otherwise we had not seen other errors."

"Alright, thank you."

"You're welcome. Thank you for your inquiry."

Once he hung up, Richard started thinking about the hair sample he sent.

He would rather believe that he sent the wrong strand of hair, than the fact that Lucas was not his daddy…

Hold on!

He realized with a start as he remembered that he knocked into Winston right after he got that strand of hair from Lucas. Then, he found it on Winston, but it might have been Winston's instead of Lucas' hair!

That was the only possibility!

And once he understood that, he hurried downstairs to Cordy.

She was left staring at him in wonder—had he recovered already?

Children's ability to heal physically and spiritually were certainly strong!

She was actually worried for a moment there.
