?Chapter 408:
Her fingers clenched tightly around the note containing the hospital’s address. So, all this time, Isabel had been paying attention to that child.
K started the engine and drove to the hospital. On the way, images of Sadie and Noah kept shing in her mind, fueling the jealousy burning in the pit of her stomach.
Upon arriving at the hospital, K sought out Dr. Arnold Gray.
“Excuse me, Dr. Gray,” K said. “I was sent by Mrs. Wall to pick up a DNA report.”
Arnold adjusted his sses. “Oh! Mr. Wall’s DNA report, right? Please wait here a moment.”
The man went to his file cab and took out a sealed envelope, which he handed over to K.
K’s heart raced, and her palms were sweaty as she took the envelope. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.
“Thank you,” she said to the doctor.
She could barely wait to see the file; she yanked the folder open the moment she stepped out of the hospital.
When she saw the results of the test, she felt her entire world shift. The ground beneath her feet seemed to disappear.
“The probability of paternity is 99.99%.”
The words echoed in her mind over and over.
She clutched the report so tightly that her fingernails almost tore through the paper. After a while, Kposed herself and returned the report to the folder. Once again, she forced herself to stay calm as she walked to her car and started the engine. She drove straight to the Wall Group building.
The Wall Group towered over most other skyscrapers, looking grand and imposing from every angle.
K strode across the lobby, her high heels cking loudly against the marble floor. She was carrying the thermos of soup Isabel had prepared especially for Noah.
Updates always at galnoνe??s
“Miss Wade?” the receptionist called out in obvious surprise. “You’re back.” It caught the attention of the other employees nearby, and they soon cast curious nces in K’s direction.
News of her transfer to Slimron had long since made the rounds within thepany, so her sudden appearance was understandably causing a stir. K mustered a faint smile and raised the thermos. “I’m here to see Noah.”
Everyone immediately understood, and they looked like they collectively sighed to themselves. Old mes were quite hard to extinguish, despite the missteps that might have urred. To their minds, Noah still wasn’t able to let K go.
And so, K made her way to Noah’s office unimpeded. She knocked at the door.
“Come in,” came the deep, maic voice from inside.
K pushed the door open and entered. Noah was sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed as he stared at hisputer screen.
“Noah, I brought you some soup,” K said softly, cing the thermos on the other side of his desk.
Noah looked up then. Something shed across his eyes when they fell on K, but it was gone in an instant. “What are you doing here?”
“Your mother asked me to bring you soup and check on you,” K replied, sounding gentle and considerate as she stepped closer.
“How is she?” Noah inquired.
“She’s doing well, just worried you’re working too hard.” K studied him for a few beats before cautiously asking, “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”
Noah pinned her with a deep, unreadable gaze. “This is yourst chance, K. If you cross the line again, don’t bothering back.”
