Chapter 785 Whose Daughter Is She Exactly
Even though Samuel did not listen to all the recordings transmitted, he could tell that Natalie was bothered by a certain something just by the dejected look on her.
He knew that the woman would only get more anxious as time went by if he sat by and did nothing.
“Okay, I’ll contact Billy now and have him send over Thomas’ blood,” promised Samuel as he wrapped his arms around Natalie’s cold body. “You don’t have to leave here to find Billy. This is a hospital, so you can do the test right here.”
“Fine,” responded Natalie somewhat reluctantly.
The woman found it difficult to think straight at the moment, and Samuel could sense the insecurity in her.
Hence, the man said not another word but simply held her tightly. Although he was unsure what was wrong with Natalie, he was more than willing to stay and keep her company.
It did not take long before Billy arrived at the hospital with a vial of Thomas’ blood.
“Mr. Bowers, Ms. Nichols, I got this from Thomas’ body,” explained Billy before handing the vial over with both hands.
After taking the cylindrical container, Natalie turned to Samuel. “Can we get the hospital to do a paternal test? I need to know if Thomas is my biological father as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I’ll get it done,” agreed Samuel with a nod.
With the man’s command, the hospital quickly assigned their experts to draw Natalie’s blood and test it with Thomas’.
As Natalie anxiously awaited the result, she continued to stare blankly at the scenery outside the window.
Natalie used to hope that her biological father was somebody other than Thomas, but after listening to Yvonne, she wished for the opposite. If Thomas isn’t my father, why was Mom so desperate to keep it a secret from me?
With that thought in mind, Natalie completely lost her appetite.
Samuel, who had Billy bring some oatmeal porridge over, handed Natalie a spoon. “It’s dinner time.”
“I’m not hungry,” responded Natalie weakly.
“Do you want me to feed you then?” Samuel then grabbed Natalie by the chin and forced her to look him in the eye. “I did what you wanted me to do, so don’t you think you should return the favor?”
Gazing at Samuel, Natalie was touched that the man decided to stay with her when she was most desperate and vulnerable.
“I can feed myself just fine, and I’ll finish all of this,” promised Natalie after taking the spoon from Samuel.
“Good.” In response, the man smiled softly with satisfaction.
Natalie had only finished half of her oatmeal porridge when the result was out.
With the report in hand, Billy politely knocked on the door before entering the room. “Mr. Bowers, this is the test result for Ms. Nichols’ and Thomas’ blood.”
“Just leave it here,” instructed Samuel calmly.
“Yes, Sir.”
After putting the file containing the report down, Billy turned around and left the room.
Natalie then immediately pushed her food aside and went straight for the test result.
As soon as she pulled the report out, she skipped the analysis at the front and jumped straight to the result, which showed only a two percent probability of paternity, meaning that a blood relation between Thomas and her was highly unlikely.
Shocked, Natalie knitted her eyebrows in pain and dropped the report to the ground. “So I’m… I’m not Thomas’ daughter after all; neither Yara nor me. We’re… We’re not that man’s daughters.”
Even though Yvonne had told her as much, Natalie still found it hard to believe when she was finally confronted with the truth. Natalie felt like the world she knew before had crumbled down around her.
“Whose… Whose child am I, exactly?” questioned Natalie with red teary eyes.
