Regardless of his status, he was first and foremost a doctor, so Rowan responded to her, "Sure, I will conduct a detailed examination for her, and any issues will be addressed promptly."
"Thank you," Monica's politeness made him feel very distant.
Then the girl withdrew her gaze, turned, and sat down on a bench not far away, seeming to have nothing to say to him.
And Rowan's thousand words converged into silence, patiently awaiting the results of the identification.
Only the identification results would be conclusive evidence.
Before long, the elevator doors opened again, and Tristan stepped out with long strides, immediately spotting the girl sitting on the bench.
As he approached her, his gaze lightly swept over Rowan, the two men making eye contact.
In the corridor with only three people, there was no exchange, everyone maintaining silence.
Tristan squatted in front of the girl, took her hand, lightly stroked the back of her hand, gazing at her, a single gesture, a single look giving her a sense of security.
Monica was indeed a bit unsettled, facing his gaze, maintaining silence.
Tristan reached out and patted her head, giving her a determined look, as if to say, "My dear, whatever happens, I will be by your side."
Ten minutes passed quickly.
The sound of the door opening drew everyone's attention as someone handed the paternity test report to Rowan, "Director, the results are in," handing him both copies.
"Thank you," Rowan reached out and took them, glancing at the end of the report, confirming his own intuition: Monica was indeed his sister.
Rowan looked ahead and handed the results to Tristan and Monica, one for each.
By this time, Monica had already stood up from the bench, she reached out and took them, and at the same time as Tristan, saw the last sentence of the report: there is a blood relationship, they are full siblings.
