Chapter 397 The Result Is Negative
Great fear clutched at her heart, causing Lucia to tremble uncontrollably. She knew that at this time, the result of the paternity test hadn't come out yet, but it would not take long for the truth to come out. Before then, she had to find a way to stop him.
At that moment, the man standing there happened to turn around and look over there. Their eyes met in that instant before they were both stunned.
Feeling nervous, at this moment Lucia could do nothing but freeze, standing in situ.
August frowned slightly, and after a moment of pause, he suddenly stepped straight toward her with his long legs.
Lucia took a deep breath as nervousness surged through her body.
The man's voice was deep and cold, "What are you doing here?"
Lucia gritted her teeth, knowing that she would expose her intention if she weakened at this point. So, she screwed up her courage and said, "That should be my question."
With a frown and cold eyes on his face, August didn't say anything.
Lucia took a deep breath, holding back the nervousness in her heart, "I heard you went to check on Janet and
August. You had an intention, didn't you?" Not waiting for his answer, Lucia turned around to glance at the sign of the identification department over there, sneered, and continued, "I was about to leave when I learned from the nurse that you came to the identification department. I felt suspicious, so I followed you here, not expecting that the president of Lion Group would do such a despicable thing."
Hearing her excuse, August sneered in an unperturbed manner, spoke word for word, "I just want to know the truth. Since you don't tell me, I can only find it out myself."
Seeing the man's calm and unruffled appearance, as annoyance instantly came crowding into her mind, Lucia gritted her teeth while glaring at the man in front of her, "August, you are shameless!"
"Am I?" August leaned over slightly and came up closer to her, "If it turns out to be you lying to me in the end, will I still be the shameless one?"
Lucia was speechless with race, 'You ..."
Now, August was almost certain of the truth. What he was waiting for was just an authoritative report that could prove Timothy and Janet were his blood children, which was also the very thing scaring Lucia the most!
Seemine able to read the woman's mind, August slightly narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Lucia, why are you afraid?"
His words made Lucia's heart miss a beat. She took a deep breath, unconsciously clenching her fists, and forced an indifferent smile, "I'm not afraid for me, but for you who is going to be embarrassed!"
"Well then." August lowered his eyes and checked the time, "There's only half an hour left, let's wait for the result to come out together."
Lucia had nothing to say, knowing clearly that there was no way back at this point. She could neither leave nor stop it but wait for the last half hour to pass by. She sat on the cold chair, and folded her hands together, trying not to tremble as if she was a prisoner under sentence of death who knew the time of the execution, waiting for her death.
Five minutes later, Lucia took out her cell phone and pinned her last hope on Paul. At this time, she had no other choice, and she had to try even if it was not going to work, instead of sitting here doing nothing
She edited a text message with the most concise and urgent words and sent it to Paul several times in a row. and she even gave Paul a call with the least obvious posture
But the call was not answered, and neither were the text messages.
She knew that Paul was very busy and still on a business trip, even if he saw the text messages, it would be impossible for him to come back now. But she was really unwilling to give up the chance.
Twenty minutes ... Fifteen minutes ... Five minutes ...
Lucia held the phone though there was no reply, feeling more and more unbearably nervous as time went by.
Finally, the moment August's name showed up on the electronic screen beside the door of the identification department, she lost all her hope.
August stood up and walked over to the reporting window, from which he took a copy of the test report.
From Lucia's angle, only the man's wide, strong back could be seen. Lucia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but still broke out in a cold sweat.
The man stood there motionlessly, staring at the report with his head down. Two minutes later, he finally moved and turned around, staring at her with a sharp and chilling look.
Feeling her body freezing and her brain blank, Lucia closed her eyes a moment later, unwilling to look at him.
It seemned that he had known everything. The secret that she had been trying so hard to hide for five years had finally been found out by him.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound followed by the sound of the man stepping away with his leather shoes.
Lucia hurriedly opened her eyes and saw August with a cold face compressing his lips as he strode away without a trace of reluctance. Stunned, Lucia looked around confusedly, and before she could figure out what had happened, she suddenly found a cruinpled paper ball on the ground where August had just been standing.
Gritting her teeth and tingling, she screwed up her last courage, stepped forward, picked up the paper ballon the ground, and unfolded it.
It was August's test report!
She skipped over the upper contents, looking directly at the conclusion at the end, where there was a large red word, "Negative". At that moment, lier head humined. 'How could it be? If August used Janet's hair, how could it be negative? Could it be that Paul has sent someone to bribe the hospital and the doctors?' After a deep breath, Lucia quickly folded the test report, put it away, glanced around, and left quickly.
She didn't feel relieved at all but even more nervous. 'Will August believe the test report now?' She was not overjoyed to get out of the trouble, instead, she sensed another feeling of danger and fear crowding her mind, making her more and more uneasy..
She quickly left the hospital, and it was late when she returned to West Bridge. Mrs. Mitchell and Professor
Mitchell were both celebrating Janet's return from the hospital, and the living room was buzzing with activity. but Lucia was in no mood for it and went straight to her bedroom.
