Chapter 770
Chapter 770
Jane was not an unreasonable person.
Moreover, his main goal was not to seek Jane’s forgiveness or anything else.
He simply wanted to protect her to the best of his ability.
He didn’t want her to be hurt by Nina or looked down upon by the Collins family simply for being with Zachary.
Frank followed Zachary out.
It wasn’t his choice, Charlotte had asked him to check the situation.
He was frustrated with Zachary for dragging him into this mess, grumbling as he poked at
him.
“Given the current situation, Michael is doing better than you.”
Zachary was too tired to engage in a verbal sparring match. “Contact Prof. Kilburn and see if there’s any way to perform a paternity test now.”
Frank replied, “It won’t help to rush. Even if you want to test now, Nina won’t allow it.”
“If the dirt is thrown on you, that’s one thing, but if she thinks to throw it on Jane, your future with her will be even tougher.”
He wasn’t unwilling to intervene, but the elders of the Collins family had been decent to him. He didn’t want things to escalate to a point of complete estrangement.
Moreover, with Sir Collins and Madam Collins’s age, one good scare could cause her to fall
ill.
Even if Zachary firmly chose Jane, she wouldn’t want his family to face any issues because of their relationship.
So, straight on confrontations weren’t the way, a more gentle approach was better.
Right now, Nina was the biggest headache.
Over the years, Zachary had learned to pick up on Frank’s underlying meanings.
He nodded. “I will keep an eye on her.”
Frank responded with an “mm” and bent down to look inside the car. “Sir Collins, with your old legs, you shouldn’t be out in this cold. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll handle it for you.”
Sir Collins didn’t really believe him, but he smiled. “When the time comes, I hope I won’t be a bother to you.”

Frank laughed. “How could that be? My only good quality is being filial.”
‘Your only good quality is being henpecked.‘
Sir Collins didn’t say it directly, but kept a mysterious smile.
Zachary opened the car door and got in.
A row of black BMWs slowly pulled away.
Frank turned back toward the hospital and headed to Prof. Kilburn’s office.
“If it’s only been a little over a month, that won’t work. You’ll have to wait at least two and
a half months. The best testing window is between three to five months,” said Prof.
Kilburn.
Frank paused and asked, “Isn’t maternal safety a concern?”
Prof. Kilburn was taken aback.
Frank had softened his approach since marrying and having a daughter. He rarely resorted to force anymore and seldom saw blood.
He used to be more blunt, but now he was more careful.
“Actually, this method doesn’t harm the mother, it just gives more accurate data if you wait longer,” Prof. Kilburn explained.
“As long as we find out if the child is Zachary’s, we don’t need to consider anything else.”
“Then let’s schedule it for two and a half months from now. I’ll do it personally.”
