“Mrs. Winters, here are the results. Are you really a friend of the person who took the test?” the man asked. “I’m taking a huge risk and responsibility by giving this to you like this!”
“Yes, she asked me to come pick them up. Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble!”
Mrs. Winters laughed, took the results, and told the man to go back inside. She sat down on a chair to look at the report.
She skipped the preamble and went straight to the conclusion.
But just as she glanced at it, the report was suddenly snatched from her hands. She looked up in shock at the tall, stern man before her and froze.
Gabriel glanced at the report and said coldly, “You’re Mrs. Winters? Does this report have anything to do with you? Bribing lab staff to privately obtain someone else’s results—do you not know that’s illegal?”
Mrs. Winters recognized Gabriel and quickly stood up to explain. “Mr. Carnes, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I’m here to pick up the results for Evelyn.”
Gabriel’s expression was icy. “So Evelyn sent you?”
Mrs. Winters suddenly remembered the call from Evelyn that morning, specifically warning her not to mention her name if she was caught.
She immediately changed her story with a smile. “Not Evelyn. I knew Evelyn was getting a test done here, and I happen to know someone who works here, so I thought I’d come by and get an early look at the results for her.”
Gabriel’s eyes were sharp, his tone low and chilling. “I don’t have time to deal with you today. Tell Evelyn to stop causing trouble!”
A chill ran down Mrs. Winters’s spine as she watched the man turn and walk away, confused by his words.
Wasn’t it Evelyn who got the test?
Why did he say she was causing trouble?
Before she could figure it out, the person who had given her the report rushed over. “Mrs. Winters, good, you haven’t left. Are you really a friend of the person who took the test? My boss wants to question me. You need to come explain this.”
“Me? How am I supposed to explain?” Mrs. Winters sensed something was wrong and quickly made an excuse. “I have somewhere to be, I have to go!”
“Mrs. Winters, you can’t leave! You can’t throw me under the bus like this!” the man said angrily.
But Mrs. Winters scurried away.
Gabriel looked into her eyes and finished her sentence. “You are Nana.”
Sylvia’s heart pounded violently, and a look of disbelief spread across her face. “How could this be?”
“Why couldn’t it be?” Gabriel raised his hands to cup her face. “You didn’t just appear out of thin air. You have parents, a family. It just so happens that your mother is Georgia, and your meeting her so long ago was simply fate.”
Sylvia still looked stunned.
She grew up in a place like Tripe and had never thought about finding her biological parents. Without Gabriel, she would have lived her entire life alone.
When Gabriel first suggested she and Georgia might be mother and daughter, she hadn’t taken it seriously. She had only agreed to the test to humor him.
But now, it was telling her that Georgia really was her biological mother. Her… mom?
Surprise and shock consumed her thoughts, leaving her mind completely blank.
