“Jordan, why is God so unfair? I’ve done it with you multiple times but only once with that person, yet this child isn’t yours.” Chloe’s voice was broken.
Jordan felt depressed as well. “Perhaps the measure of fairness is different in the eyes of God. He gave you to me but gave the child to him.”
The couple embraced each other, feeling heartbroken and dejected.
Suddenly, Chloe pushed Jordan away and excitedly said, “Jordan, do you think there’s a possibility that JJ is our child?”
Jordan smiled bitterly. “How is that possible? The timing of his birth matches with when that fella did it!”
Chloe refuted emotionally, saying, “Jordan, listen to me. A pregnancy is called full term if it reaches 10 months. What if JJ wasn’t a full-term baby?”
Jordan caressed Chloe’s expectant look that made her look cute.
Jordan’s voice was hoarse. “Chloe, just accept the reality. The bigger the hope you carry, the bigger the disappointment you’ll feel.”
“Jordan, don’t you think that JJ is very much like you? Both of you look alike, and even your character and personality are similar…”
Chloe’s words succeeded in planting a seed of doubt in Jordan’s heart. It gradually sprouted and grew roots, allowing him to see a small ray of hope.
“Okay. I’ll find an opportunity to do a test,” Jordan replied.
“Okay.”
Jordan had put in a lot of effort before he managed to collect a few strands of Jay’s hair from his study.
After all these years, he had been living with the belief that God had neglected him and abandoned him. He had not expected that in his old age, he would receive such wonderful news.
Unfortunately, the euphoria was short-lived. It was gradually replaced with worry, unrest, and guilt.
Jay was his son, but he had repeatedly harmed Jay’s woman. He had caused the death of the woman Jay loved. There was a grudge between the father and son because of that. It could never be erased in this life.
“JJ, I’m sorry.” Jordan had been a proud man his whole life and would never admit defeat in front of anyone, but right now, he sincerely wanted to humble himself in front of Jay.
“I’m sorry,” Jordan mumbled.
That weekend, Jay brought a doctor to Fragrant Vessel Court.
