Chapter 493 Not Blood-Related
Arthur's request placed the doctor in an awkward position. "But our rule is that any private DNA test has to be kept confidential," he said, seemingly in a dilemma.
Hearing that, Arthur put on a disappointed expression. The doctor thought that he had offended Arthur and quickly added, "But if you really want to have a look at them, I can show them to you, Arthur."
If it was someone else today, the doctor would never have backed down and would not even get the conversation going.
However, because the person in front of him today was Arthur, he did not dare to turn Arthur down.
"But you must promise that you will not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I risk losing my job."
The doctor then looked around nervously before taking out the envelope containing the samples that Callum had handed him earlier. "This is it, Arthur. Check them out quickly. The director is making his rounds, so you'd best be quick."
Arthur nodded with a smile and quickly took a look at the contents of the envelope before putting them back, acting as if nothing had happened. "I'm done. You can put them back now."
Seeing that Arthur was not acting unusually, the doctor was relieved. "Come seek me out if there's anything else I can do for you, Arthur. I'll do everything I can."
Arthur nodded in response. "Let's exchange phone numbers so we can stay in touch," he suggested.
The doctor was stunned and flattered before he eventually pulled out his phone and exchanged contact information with Arthur.
He didn't notice Arthur's lips curling slightly, revealing a vague smile.
The test result would only be out a few days later. During these few days, Elspeth and Callum intentionally kept their distance from each other.
The primary issue was not about getting divorced. Instead, convincing the Winthrops to accept that they would be divorcing was more difficult.
Luckily, Callum's parents were on vacation these few days, and the rest of the family was not in the house as well. Hence, Helia could stay in the Winthrop Residence with some relief.
On the day of the test results collection, Elspeth and Callum went to the hospital together.
When they entered the laboratory, the doctor quickly grabbed the envelope containing the results and handed it to Callum. "The DNA test results are out, Mr. Winthrop."
Callum wanted to open it. At this moment, a mocking tone rang out from the door. "What a coincidence, Callum. We meet again."
Callum turned around to see Arthur standing there once more, ever the uninvited guest.
On the other hand, Elspeth subconsciously took a few steps back, attempting to distance herself from Arthur.
Her small movements didn't go unnoticed. Arthur's eyes glowed with darkness as he noticed her attempting to move away from him.
"Well, I don't want to meet you at all," Callum said without any hesitation.
"It's okay. It's just a coincidence, anyway. What brings you to the DNA laboratory? Is there anything else you'd like to put to the test?"
Despite knowing everything, Arthur pretended to know nothing.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Callum then stuffed the results back into the envelope, deciding to check it only when they got home.
"We are family, after all. Or at least, we were family. What else can you hide from me?" Arthur smiled, appearing pure and innocent as if he were close to Callum.
Elspeth rolled her eyes at that. "Since things have already progressed to this point, you don't have to say these things to disgust us anymore."
"How could you say that, Elspeth? I'm just showing my concern for my brother."
Elspeth and Callum's attitude didn't bother Arthur at all. He was certain that both of them would be in a worse mood after seeing
the DNA test results.
Hence, he was unconcerned about how these losers treated him now.
"Your concern is received, then. We're leaving now."
