"Okay, let's go."
Then, Kerr turned around and left the ward together with Jay. They saw Harley and Avery standing at the door when they came out.
"Take care of Nicole for me,"
Kerr told Avery and gave her a genuine smile. He then turned to Harley.
"Come with me," he told the doctor.
Kerr didn't trust anyone else to do this. He only trusted Harley to perform the paternity test. Kerr knew deep inside that no matter what the result was, he was meant to protect Nicole and Jay.
Even if Jay turned out to be his son, it didn't automatically mean that the Gu family would accept Nicole and Jay. His family was just a bunch of heartless people. Everyone was always ready to betray one another for their own self-interests.
Harrow had just exited the operating room when he was suddenly dragged by Harley. They went to the blood collection room, with Kerr and Jay right behind them.
"So, what do you want us to do?"
As he looked at the way Kerr held Jay in his arms, Harley couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"I want you to do a paternity test between me and Jay. I want to know the results as soon as possible,"
Kerr ordered Harley.
"Is that really necessary? I mean, honestly, the boy already looks like a younger version of you,"
Harley told Kerr. But he prepared a needle for drawing blood anyway.
Upon hearing Harley's comment, Kerr was sure of his relation to Jay more than ever. The P blood type was the rarest blood in the world. Kerr had decided that he was going to be the boy's father the moment he transfused his blood to Jay.
"Your name is Jay, correct? Are you scared of needles?"
Harley gently held Jay's small arm as he coaxed him. He never liked to see other people, whether they were children or adults, cry in front of him. So naturally, he didn't want Jay to shed any tear.
"I am a man. I'm not scared of any injection. Don't worry, Uncle Harley. I will not cry."
Jay straightened his chest proudly. He looked so adorable when he acted as if he was an adult.
Although the boy had put on a brave face, Kerr still took the initiative to grab Jay by the arm. He used his other hand to cover the boy's eyes so he wouldn't see the needle pierce into his skin.
He had never taken care of a child before. However, when it came to Jay, fatherhood seemed to come naturally to him.
Not wanting to waste any time, Harley quickly collected the blood from Jay. Then he collected blood from Kerr and handed the two samples to Harrow.
"I'll get the results in about two hours. In the meantime, you can go back to the ward and take care of your girl. I assure you that I will come to you as soon as I get the results,"
Harley said in a calm tone. Anybody who knew Kerr and Jay could tell that there was no need for a paternity test. But it was still nice to see Kerr put so much effort into one person.
It was only a few months ago when Harley left, and Kerr hadn't met Jay then. So they couldn't have known each other for that long. However, in those short months that Harley was away, Kerr's heart was quickly captured by a girl. She must be really special.
"Harrow, take care of this,"
Harley ordered Harrow once Kerr left. When his assistant nodded, he turned around and left him to do the job. He let out a yawn as he walked out lazily, he wasn't that interested in finding out the result if he was being honest.
Harrow shook his head as he watched Harley's back walk away. He lifted up the two blood samples, observing them for a few seconds before he prepared to start the comparison. However, before he could even begin, the door opened.
At first, he assumed that it was Harley coming back for something. So, he didn't bother to look up.
