Chapter 843 Test Results
Henry stayed in the VIP ward where it was peaceful at noon, and hardly anyone could be seen.
Josie stood at the door. Several times, she raised her hand to knock, but each time, she could not bring
herself to do it.
She hesitated for a long time and was filled with worry and fear. Her fear was overwhelming. With Paul gone, if anything were to happen to her grandfather, she did not know how she would cope.
In the end, she did not knock on the door. Instead, she sat on the bench in the hallway and was lost in a sea of thoughts.
Seeing her in such a state of unease, Moses could not help but worry. He cleared his throat and said, “Josie, I’ll go get you some food.”
Josie did not lift her head. “Since he told you to watch me, then just watch me properly. Don’t speak unnecessarily.”
Moses abruptly halted his steps. His motion of pulling out his phone froze midway. Awkwardly, he rubbed
his nose.
About half an hour later, Mallory arrived in a hurry. She had not even opened the file holder in her hand. -Josie-
Catching a glimpse of Moses, she stood still and hesitated for a moment.
Josie finally looked up. “Come over here.”
Mallory hesitated for a moment before handing over the document bag and softly saying, “I just returned from Lightspring. No one else has handled this. I haven’t looked at it yet.”
Josie glanced at Moses and noticed that his intense gaze was fixed on her. She tightened her grip on the document bag and took a deep breath.
After a moment, she finally mustered the courage to open it and pull out one of the documents. It was Heather’s and Claudia’s.
Her fingertips rested on the final result and slowly moved away.
Result Interpretation: The maternal probability is 100%.
Upon seeing the result, Josie’s hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.
In all paternity tests, the certainty of denying biological parentage was 100%, while the confirmation of biological parentage was 99%.
One of her speculations had already been confirmed.
There was another one…
Mallory looked at her with worry.
Josie closed her eyes for a moment. Then with a sink-or-swim determination, she pulled out another
report.

Suddenly, Josie’s grip loosened, and the paper slowly fell. Just as it was about to hit the ground, Mallory swiftly caught it. She quickly straightened it out and said, “I don’t know what you saw, and I won’t ask or look, but I hope you’re prepared.”
Josie felt a heavy weight in her heart. With a trembling voice, she asked Mallory, “Do you have a lighter?”
“Yes…”
Josie placed the two pieces of paper together, walked over to the trash bin, and set the papers on fire. The flames flickered and quickly consumed the papers. Josie let go and stared at the pile of ashes in the trash. bin with a pale face.
In this world, only she knew the secret.
From a distance, Moses watched her series of actions, and his brows furrowed in concern. But with the documents burned, even if he wanted to investigate, he would not know where to start.
The scientific explanation left Josie in a daze, and she was almost gasping for breath.
There were no ifs, ands, or buts this time.
Those instances of tacit understanding were no longer mere coincidences but the natural intuition. between mother and daughter.
How dare Heather take my place!
Just then, the door to Henry’s ward was opened from the inside. It was Marilyn. She was the first to see Moses. “What are you doing here…”
Immediately after, she saw Josie. She was surprised and delighted. “Jo!”
Josie was still struggling to calm herself down, but she managed to squeeze out a smile. “Ms. Marilyn.” Inside the hospital room, only the sound of the EKG served as a reminder of human presence. Henry had awakened. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. His face was thin and aged, and he looked weak. Josie slowly moved forward with her heavy heart.
