It was past work hours at the DNA test center, but naturally, Sean could make the arrangements.
They also worked fast, and the result came in under two hours.
Sean held out the document folder to Cordy, who looked visibly nervous.
"Is it really that bad?" Sean asked in surprise, since Cordy always kept her emotions hidden.
Even if Dicky didn’t resemble Cordy, he really doubted if they weren’t related, considering the striking resemblance in their mannerisms.
"Should I read it to you?" Sean offered, considering her reaction.
"No," Cordy said firmly, taking the folder and slowly opening it.
Sean looked over her shoulder to read it out of curiosity, and they both saw it.
[99.99% chance of biological connection between subjects.]
In other words…
Cordy's eyes immediately turned red, and utterly so.
The immense emotional turmoil overwhelmed her.
She had actually considered the possibility that Lucas was John Levine.
Before, both Dicky and Zoe insisted that he was, just as she began to notice the little details.
However, her tears ran wild when she finally confirmed it.
So miracles do exist in this world!
"What's wrong?" Sean asked, noticing her tearful look. "Isn't this great? That means Dicky's your son. Are those tears of joy?"
Cordy bit her lip, not inclined to tell Sean too much and add to his troubles.
"Why are you being so docile today?" Sean asked, frowning. "Wait, are the subjects really you and Dicky? Or could it be—"
"Let's go," Cordy said, cutting Sean short—he would get it with his next guess.
Sean wanted to press her, but decided to stay silent.
