The assembly gradually dispersed upon the conclusion of the press conference.
John looked quizzically at Evan, “Mr. Seet, the results…”
“A job well done, John!” Evan seemed fairly pleased with the outcome.
John quickly explained himself, “No, please listen to me, Mr. Seet. I didn’t have anyone doctor the result. It is authentic!”
Evan raised an eyebrow in annoyance. “You find this amusing, don’t you?”
It was the outcome that he wanted for the press conference as when he had first instructed John earlier, but if what he was told by John about the testing was true, that would mean that Nina and Maya were indeed his own daughters.
This… How could this be?
Evan looked nonchalantly at John as he took Nina and Maya by the hand and led them away.
It does not matter even if they were not of his blood. He will love them all the same.
John could only sigh at Evan’s disbelief as even he too was confounded by the test result. Initially, he did dutifully arrange for the results to be altered.
“Do you want to change the results to negative? To reflect that they are not related?”
“No. If they are negative, why would there be a need to change things? You have to indicate that they are related by blood!”
The doctor looked rather bemusedly at John, “They are indeed related by blood and the results of the paternity test have already precisely indicated that. Is there anything else about that outcome which you would like to change?”
John was dumbstruck as he started to question the reliability of his own hearing. He stared at the paternity test report after repeated verification, stunned by what was reflected in it.
What a fluke that was!
Ms. Lane had withheld the truth of the identity of Nina and Maya’s birth father when it was Mr. Seet all along.
How would Mr. Seet react were he to find out?
