What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 531

Conrad was stunned by her unexpected response.

Sophia couldn't keep her composure anymore. She hastily exclaimed, "Why are you so sure before even doing a paternity test? Are you trying to deny me?"

Hannah sighed and patiently replied, "Ms. Woods, I am really not your biological mother. If you still doubt it, I'll agree to this paternity test."

Even Lewis couldn't help but glance at Hannah.

Hannah remained calm. It was as if she genuinely believed that Sierra was not her daughter.

Sierra insisted, "Let's do it. Let's do it now!"

She couldn't believe it. Sophia and her DNA test showed a 30% match. How could there be a 30% similarity if they were not related?

She thought Hannah didn't want to acknowledge her because of how she looked now.

Lewis signaled to Conrad with a glance. Conrad understood and immediately went to call the doctor to collect DNA samples for the test.

The doctor arrived promptly. He collected samples from both women and hurried off to conduct the paternity test.

As the doctor reached the door, Lewis suddenly said, "Wait."

The doctor paused and turned back to look at Lewis, "Mr. Alvarez, is there anything else you'd like to instruct?"

Lewis' gaze shifted to Sophia's face, and he said, "Since we're doing this, Sophia should also participate."

Sophia furrowed her brow, looking puzzled.

Hannah's expression instantly changed. Her smile became somewhat stiff. "Sophia is my daughter, and I'm very sure of it. There's no need for her to do the test."

Lewis continued, "Sophia and Sierra share a 30% DNA match. We need an explanation for that. Ms. Yales, since you're so certain that Sierra is not your daughter, you should let them both take the test together. This way, we can ensure that Sierra is convinced and satisfied. Don't you think so?"

Before Hannah could respond, Sierra chimed in, "Exactly! If we're doing it, let's all do it together. I won't believe you unless the results confirm what you're saying!"

"That's unnecessary."

"It is necessary," Lewis stated firmly, "We're doing it together."

Hannah frowned. Her anger was rising.

Suddenly, Sophia stood up, walked directly to the doctor, and glanced back at Sierra with a hint of disdain.

"Well, let's get it over with. Chairman Alvarez is right. We should all be convinced. I'm willing to do it."

Sophia handed a few strands of her hair to the doctor.

"Sophia ..." Hannah tried to stop her but was too late.

The doctor took the hair samples and left the room.

Hannah, who had appeared calm earlier, seemed concerned now. Inadvertently, she raised her head and met the profound gaze of Lewis.

She was momentarily startled but quickly averted her eyes and looked elsewhere.

The ward fell into a tense silence again. After a long hour of waiting, the doctor returned with the two test reports and handed them to Conrad.

Conrad, in turn, handed the reports to Lewis.

Lewis casually opened the two reports and glanced over them. A hint of mockery curled his lips when he reached the final results.

Sophia rushed over and checked, "What does it say?"

She directly read the final results and smiled when she saw Sierra's report. But when she looked at her own test results, her smile faded.

"How can this be ..."

Sitting on the bed and unable to move, Sierra grew anxious. "What are the results? Let me see!"

Anger crept onto Sophia's face as she stared at the doctor. "Did you tamper with the results?"

The doctor responded calmly, "Miss, I'm just doing my job. There's no benefit for me in tampering with the results. The results are accurate. If you don't believe it, you can have it tested somewhere else."

"You ..." Flustered, Sophia turned her head and looked at Hannah.
