'Windfall?
Well, you can say that if you like. The daughter of the owner of the Gu Group. That's way better than a windfall or winning the lottery.'
They didn't have much to do in school that day. They were seniors and they were graduating soon so they weren't as busy as the other students from the lower grades. Today, they had actually planned on going shopping.
Originally, they were going to go shopping with Mona too but she'd gone to see her boyfriend which left Angelina and Jennifer alone.
When they went into their first boutique, Angelina's phone started ringing. It was an unknown number. She had initially thought of ignoring the call but eventually decided to answer it.
She told Jennifer to go ahead as she stepped out to answer the call.
After a short while, she came back into the shop and looked like she was in a hurry.
"Jennifer, I'm so sorry but I can't go shopping with you today anymore. There's been an emergency and I'm afraid I have to deal with it now."
Jennifer was busy checking a dress. She raised her head and asked, "What's the emergency?"
"It's a long story. I have to go now. I'll go shopping with you next time. See you," Angelina said.
Then she hurriedly left.
As Jennifer watched her back disappear out of the door, she mumbled to herself, "What could be so important? I can't believe you just ditched your friend like that without so much as a decent explanation. Um, I'm not in the mood to go shopping anymore. I'd better get back home too."
Then she also left.
As soon as Angelina left, she hailed a taxi and immediately got inside. "Please drive to the S hospital."
The call she had received was from the doctor. She had asked them to call her when the results were out.
She patted herself on the chest for thinking of that because if the hospital hadn't called her, she would have forgotten all about it.
As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she rushed inside. She immediately headed to the reception desk "Hi, I'm Angelina Li. I received a call. I was told my results were available already."
The doctor was a woman and she seemed to be in her late thirties to her early forties. She glanced at Angelina before she flipped through the piles of documents in front of her. After a while, she handed one to Angelina.
Angelia hastily grabbed it. "Thanks."
She then opened the envelope right then and there.
As her eyes skimmed the file, her body turned stiff.
She blinked and rubbed her eyes to make sure she didn't read it wrong.
She and Jeremy weren't related at all.
It didn't match the files Jeremy had shown her before.
She tried to steady herself, then she looked up at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, are you sure this is right? Could you have possibly made a mistake with this?"
The doctor frowned as she stared back at Angelina. "No, that's not possible at all."
"But..." 'But this invalidates the test Jeremy showed me last time.
If this is right, then Jeremy's results were wrong?'
She thanked the doctor again before leaving.
She grabbed the piece of paper tightly with both of her hands as she mindlessly walked back.
'So this test result is right?'
