Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 541

Fine, I'll check it out myself.

Soon, she finished reading the contents of the report.

The report stated: Paternity test.

The last line read: Specimen A and Specimen B are biologically father and daughter.

Each word that Waverly engaged with drove her into complete bewilderment.

“S-Steven, is this your DNA test with Zoey?”

“There's no need for me to update you if it's my report with Zoey. After all, she's been our daughter for over twenty years. We've always treated her like our own flesh and blood.”

Waverly's hand, which was holding the report, started trembling gently when she heard the confirmation.

She was not a fool, so she knew what was going on right away.

“Y-You mean this is your result with Bailey?”

Steven nodded. “Waverly, Bailey is our biological daughter, whereas Zozo belongs to the Jefferson family. Back then, Sophia swapped the babies because she wanted her child to grow up in a rich and prestigious family. Honestly, the paternity test is unnecessary. The similarities between your appearance and Bay's say it all.”

At his words, the report slipped through Waverly's fingers and fell to the floor.

Astounded, she stared at her husband. “S-So, that girl is truly my daughter? She's a Shurmer?” Waverly asked in a quavering voice.

Steven held her in his arms and sighed. “I know it's hard for you to accept this sudden piece of news, but this is an indisputable fact. We can't deny the truth. Waverly, our daughter has suffered tremendously all these years. We've got to take her back.”

“Then, what about Zozo?” Waverly lifted her head and looked him in the eyes, asking solemnly, “Zozo has been living with us for more than two decades. Although we aren't related by blood, I won't give her up even if...”

She did not complete her sentence, but Steven could roughly guess her intention. Waverly would rather keep Zoey, who had been with her for over twenty years, than acknowledge Bailey.

Steven knitted his brows and replied grimly, “Don't utter such a thing anymore. They are both Shurmers. Rest assured that I won't send Zozo away even if Bay reclaims her identity.”

“Okay. I watched Zozo grow up, so I must keep her in the Shurmer family. She will always be my daughter!”

Steven stayed by her side and said nothing.

That afternoon, an earthquake broke out in Hallsbay.

Actually, the natural disaster happened in Quadfield, but its intensity triggered a series of powerful tremors in its neighboring city. Consequently, the entire Hallsbay was affected and shook violently.

When the ground first started shaking, Artemis was having a top management meeting at the office. The extreme aftershocks felt caused the man, who had never been afraid of death, to be fearful for the first time in his life.

He drove on a rampage and sped as fast as he could to the Luther residence to check on Bailey and the children. After making sure that the ones closest to him were all right, he heaved a sigh of relief.

When Felicity saw her son sweating in panic mode, she teased him, “It's true when people say one forgets his mother once he's married. You asked about your wife and children upon coming home, but you didn't bother checking in on me.”

As she spoke, she passed a slice of apple to Bailey. “When I'm old and have problems moving around, you ought to take care of me like how I'm serving you now. Understand?”

Bailey found it amusing.

As soon as they reconciled, Felicity turned into a different person. She would often act like a child when interacting with Bailey.
