?Chapter 315:
Katelyn turned back to Vincent, grimaced, and asked, “Mr. Adams, do you think there’s something suspicious about Lise’s pregnancy?”
Even though they both went to the hospital together, Vincent had been a step behind when entering the ward. He had taken the time to speak with Lise’s doctor about her condition while Katelyn went to confront Neil and Lise. Recalling that conversation, Vincent stated in a steady tone, “The doctor answered all the questions smoothly, but something just seemed off. I felt like he was hiding something.”
Katelyn nodded but kept her suspicions to herself. There wasn’t enough evidence to support her theory yet. If Lise was hiding something, she would eventually reveal it on her own.
Vincent made sure Katelyn arrived home safely. After such a long day, she felt drained and was grateful for her day off the next day. She had hoped to sleep in, but that small wish was shattered when her phone rang early in the morning.
The phone beside her pillow rang incessantly. Squinting against the morning light, she groggily pressed the answer button.
“Miss Bailey? This is Hearnd Hospital. The paternity test results have juste in. Pleasee to the hospital.”
These words snapped Katelyn out of her daze, waking her uppletely. She had almost forgotten the results were due today. However, Marlon and his mother were still nowhere to be found. Despite this, she quickly got dressed and headed to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, arge group of reporters had already gathered, their cameras aimed and ready. Clearly, they wouldn’t pass up the chance to cover the oue of the test, certain it would be a trending story.
Upon seeing Katelyn, they immediately began firing questions at her and pointing their cameras toward her.
“Miss Bailey, could you share your thoughts on the paternity test results being released soon?”
“If they turn out to be your real family, what will you decide?”
“We heard they’ve disappeared and no one knows their whereabouts. Do you think they’ll show up today?”
The reporters bombarded Katelyn with questions, shoving their microphones so close that they almost seemed ready to push them into her face.
Katelyn kept her expression firm, and her tone remained steady. “I’m only here to see the paternity test result. Now, step aside.” Shielding her face with her hand, she made her way toward the hospital entrance, her pace brisk and determined. Unwilling to give up, the reporters tried to follow her, but the security guards quickly moved in, blocking their path.
Feeling a wave of relief wash over her, Katelyn turned and headed to the nurse’s station to retrieve the test results. The nurse, however, looked surprised. “Your paternity test report? It’s already been taken.”
A flicker of disbelief crossed Katelyn’s face. “What do you mean? Do you know who took it?”
The nurse responded confidently, “Your family took it.”
Katelyn’s chest tightened. Was the nurse referring to Marlon and the old woman? But they had been taken by T Organization, and there hadn’t been any news about them since. How could they just show up? Before she could make sense of it, her phone rang again. It was Vincent.
Vincent said, “Marlon and his mother are holding a press conference.”
Katelyn immediately checked the trending news and saw their faces all over the most-viewed livestream. Though they had vanished for days after T Organization took them, they now seemed perfectly fine. The old woman held up a document and spoke confidently to the reporters.
“As you can all see, this is the DNA test we did a few days ago. The results show that Katelyn is my granddaughter. I want all of you to witness this, or she might deny our rtionship.”
Fury surged through Katelyn as she clenched her fists. She had tried every method to find those two, but they had been hidden by T Organization. Now they had reappeared, aiming to publicly disgrace her.
News would spread rapidly, especially with a press conference and livestream of this magnitude. Now that they had made the im first, everyone would believe there was a blood rtionship between them, especially with the DNA test report in their possession.<fn9dbe> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find~novel</fn9dbe>
Vincent spoke again. “I’ming to pick you up right now.”
