Chapter 239 Another Report
As an only child of the Gardner Family, Colton didn’t have any playmates. Then, Richard came along, and the two young children finally had playmates of the same age. They were born from wealthy families, so they did not have to compliment or be fake.
Hence, they clicked right away.
One would think they were friends more than brothers. When they met each other, they would be unforgiving to each other.
Colton coughed lightly and gestured at Nicole with his gaze. He wanted Richard to pay attention to his words.
As they hadn’t seen each other for many years, the tacit understanding between them was not high. Richard was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nicole and said dumbly, “Oh—so you’re Colton’s wife. Although I won’t address Colton politely, I can address you as Mrs. Gardner.”
As Richard said that, he saw Colton’s dark expression. At this moment, Colton wanted to fight Richard just like a child. Richard was being too rude.
“Richard, I asked you to come back because I have a request for you.”
When Anna felt the two were about to fight, she quickly talked about a serious matter.
She called Edith to take away Hayden since it wasn’t appropriate to talk about this matter in front of a child.
As Richard saw the seriousness on Anna’s face, he finally felt the severity of the matter. He was a doctor, so it must be bad news.
“What happened? Aunt, are you not feeling well?”
Anna shook her head and continued, “You saw the child. I want you to do a paternity test on that child and Colton.”
Richard was stunned, then frowned again. He said in disbelief, “One can tell that child is Colton’s at first glance. Why do you need the test?”
After being silent for a long time, Nicole finally spoke. “Mr. Jenkins, I am his mother. However, he is not President Gardner’s biological child. He has done a paternity test with my son, and the result is negative.”
Richard didn’t believe it. “They look so similar. Genetically speaking, they must be related.”
Nicole smiled helplessly. She raised her head to look at Richard and said thoughtfully, “However, they are not biologically related, so I would like to ask you to do a test on them and see if they are. It is to prove President Gardner’s innocence too.”
Richard finally understood why Anna refused to state why she asked him back when they spoke on the phone. This was the reason why Anna wanted to talk about it in person.
One should be cautious regarding a child of the Gardners.
When Richard glanced at Anna, she nodded along too.
At this moment, his face became serious, and his lighthearted smile when he first came in disappeared.
“I didn’t bring the equipment for this. If you’re in a hurry, you can give me some hair from the child and Colton. I will try to get a report before Wendy’s birthday party.”
Anna knew Richard had hurried back and was not prepared, so she knew he needed more time to do it.
She instructed, “Richard, this matter concerns the reputation of the Gardner Family. I hope you can keep this a secret.”
Richard knew what was at stake and he nodded. “Please be rest assured. I understand, so I won’t tell a soul about this.”
With Richard’s assurance, Anna was satisfied. She nodded and took a few strands of hair from her hand. She had secretly taken this when she was with Hayden earlier. She didn’t want the child to find out.
Colton also knowingly combed through his hair and handed some to Richard.
“Richard, tell me the result as soon as it comes out,” Anna said joyfully. She was sure Hayden was Colton’s child.
Richard nodded and replied, “Of course. Don’t worry, Aunt.”
