My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 691

'Could this be triggering my lost memories?' she wondered. 'Am I slowly starting to remember?'

What she didn't realize was that, deep down, she already believed she was part of the Evans family. She was unconsciously using them as a foundation to piece together the memories she had lost.

Perhaps, without even knowing it, she was trying to unlock the past—but at the same time, a part of her resisted. Maybe, just maybe, she was afraid to fully acknowledge what she felt.

While Kisha was lost in thought, piecing together fragments of her resurfacing memories, Elios had already completed the swab.

Just like before, he placed the collected samples into the test tubes filled with solution before securing them in the designated docks of the two test kits. Moments later, a prompt appeared on the small screen.

[Start the Paternity Test?]

[Yes] or [Cancel]

Without hesitation, Elios pressed "Yes." The screen changed, displaying a loading bar while a stream of codes and unfamiliar symbols flickered in the background.

[Paternity Test Ongoing: 15%]

"This is incredibly fast," Elios murmured, watching the progress bar steadily climb. Within just a few minutes, the test reached completion, and another prompt appeared.

[Check Results]

Elios clicked on it, and within seconds, the final result appeared:

[Congratulations, DNA test results indicate a 99.99% probability of paternity.]

[Test A and Test B show a confirmed genetic match.]

"The results are out!" Elios exclaimed.

Without another word, he turned the test kit box toward his mother and Kisha. Even from a distance, Kisha could clearly see the glaring 99.99% probability displayed on the screen.

Her brows furrowed as she plunged into deep thought, trying to process the confirmation of what she had once refused to believe.

While Kisha remained frozen in contemplation, Elios had already rushed outside to share the news with his father, brothers, the Winters, and the Aldens, who were all anxiously waiting just beyond the door.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Evans remained seated, her hands trembling as she absorbed the reality of the results. Overcome with emotion, tears spilled down her face, and she didn't care how she looked at that moment.

In a sudden burst of raw emotion, she jumped up and wrapped Kisha in a tight embrace from behind.

The unexpected touch jolted Kisha out of her thoughts. Her first instinct was to push Mrs. Evans away, yet at the same time, something deep inside her resisted that urge. Conflicting emotions clashed within her—confusion, resistance, and a strange, unspoken yearning.

In the end, she did nothing. Her arms hung limply by her sides as she allowed Mrs. Evans to cry against her, uncertain of what to do or how to feel.

Had she believed her family was waiting for her, pushing herself forward in a desperate bid to find them? Or had she simply been trying to go home, even though she couldn't remember where that was?

And if she had no memory… what had driven her forward?

Amidst the emotional whirlwind, Melody suddenly spoke up, her voice trembling.

"Mom, Dad… now that my older sister is back, does that mean my place in the family will change?" Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at them, vulnerable and uncertain. "Will you stop caring about me? Will you only dote on her from now on?"

The Evans couple felt a pang of heartbreak at her words. For a moment, they forgot their disappointment in her actions. No matter what had happened, Melody was still their daughter—she wasn't someone they could simply cast aside when circumstances changed.

Mrs. Evans stepped forward, her voice gentle yet firm. "No, sweetheart. Our family hasn't changed… it has only grown bigger. We would never cast anyone aside."

But out of Mrs. Evans' sight, Melody shot Kisha a triumphant look, as if claiming victory. Despite Kisha's return, Melody still saw herself as the family's cherished little princess.

However, Kisha couldn't care less. Now that she had sorted through her thoughts and accepted the situation, she was back to her usual self. After all, she had endured countless emotional rollercoasters in her past lives—learning to pick herself up quickly had long become second nature.

For now, Kisha decided to put aside her plan of kicking Melody out of the territory. First, she needed to see where this so-called family of hers truly stood if conflict arose between her and Melody in the future.

With that in mind, Kisha left the infirmary alongside the Aldens and Winters. Duke walked beside her, a steady presence at her side, while Keith, her younger brother, stood on her other. Together, they made their way out, leaving the Evans behind in stunned silence.

This wasn't what the Evans had expected. They had assumed Kisha would stay, talk with them, and reminisce about the past. Instead, she had slipped away in the short time they had spent pacifying Melody. That fleeting moment was all it took for Kisha to walk away.
