Chapter 287: Your DNA Matches Someone Influential

Finally landing smoothly at Grayenfall.

Usually, this city felt like home, like safety. But today, the city felt distant and huge, as if it were holding something she was not ready to face.

They headed straight to Grayenfall Medical Center.

The ride should have taken fifteen minutes, but the moment their car parked in front of the hospital, Evelyn froze.

She had not left the car for several minutes.

Her heart pounded harder and faster, as if trying to break out of her chest.

Every worst possibility flashed through her mind, gripping her breath tight. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

While she was still battling her worry, Axel’s gentle voice pulled her back. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Evelyn turned toward him.

Axel sat relaxed while Oliver sat on his father’s lap, swinging his legs happily, oblivious to the storm in her head.

She wanted Axel beside her, but she also wanted him to stay with Oliver, just in case the conversation inside became too heavy.

Evelyn shook her head with a smile. "No need. Let Lisa come with me. Besides, whoever that person is, he might faint if he sees you."

Axel chuckled. "I’m not that scary. Right, buddy?"

Oliver gave an earnest nod. "Daddy isn’t scary. Unless he’s upset."

Axel blinked in surprise.

Evelyn burst into laughter, her anxiety easing slightly. "Have you ever seen Daddy angry?" she asked.

Axel shifted, glancing down at their son as if bracing for his answer.

Oliver nodded seriously. "Yes. Daddy scolded Browny when he almost dropped me."

"I was not angry. I only reminded him to be careful..." Axel corrected, lifting his chin.

Oliver wrinkled his small face, raising his eyebrows in an exaggerated imitation. "No. You were like this. Your eyebrows went up so high, Daddy."

Evelyn laughed, covering her mouth. "That is exactly you, Axel."

Axel could only shake his head, feeling defeated. He never wins against his wife and son.

"Alright. I’ll be right in. I won’t take long," she said firmly.

Then, Evelyn leaned toward Oliver and kissed his forehead before pressing a quick kiss to Axel’s lips. It was enough to pull strength from him before she stepped out of the car.

Lisa waited outside, silent as always, but Evelyn noticed her stiff posture.

Everyone was tense. Axel’s security team. Lisa. Probably even Axel himself, though he hid it behind his calm expression. They all knew why she came here today.

Evelyn walked ahead, already familiar with the hospital layout. She had come here a few times in the past year, hoping to find even a small connection to her mother’s family.

Today, she would finally get an answer.

They reached the genetics department. The familiar staff member, Diana, greeted her with professional warmth.

Another staff member gestured for her to follow. They guided her to a small meeting room she had never entered before.

The room was surprisingly neat. A rectangular meeting table sat in the center with four chairs facing each other.

One wall was made entirely of glass, offering a wide view of Grayenfall’s skyline. The sky hung clear and bright, the sea stretching endlessly in the distance. Yet it did nothing to calm her.

She noticed another door in the corner of the room, tightly closed, with no sign of what lay behind it.
