Chapter 64
After Matthew and Lucy’s brief interlude, they had already finished breakfast.
Lucy straightened Matthew’s tie as they got ready for work. They had been idling around at home for so long that their careers had been on the back burner.
Matthew sent Lucy to her office and watched her go upstairs before he went to his company.
Sitting at his desk, he opened the documents he was going to look at that day. He had just typed a couple of lines on his computer when his phone rang. When he saw Rohan calling, his expression sank.
“Hello? Have you done what I asked you to?”
Rohan’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “I’ve done the tests, and it’s been confirmed that the DNA extracted from your wife’s blood samples does not match the DNA from the hair sample you provided.
“The two people tested are not related.”
Upon hearing that, Matthew fell silent. He finally understood why his wife was always mistreated in the Quinn family and why her parents never loved her as much as her sister.
The reason behind their favoritism was that Lucy was not the
biological daughter of the Quinn family.
“I got it. You’re not allowed to reveal this to anyone. If word gets out, you’ll be sorry,” Matthew warned Rohan.
Although Matthew could not see him, Rohan patted his chest and said firmly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Leon. I may not be perfect, but at least I
have basic medical ethics. I’ll never disclose a patient’s personal information.”
Matthew nodded and hung up.
After hanging up, he was at a loss.
What now? Was he supposed to just tell his wife that she was not her parents‘ biological daughter and that it was normal for them to be so biased against her?
Was he supposed to hide it from his wife and not say a word?
Neither of these options felt right to him.
Matthew ruffled his hair in frustration and buried his face in his desk. Why did he even bother investigating this matter? Did he have nothing better to do?
Now that he had the results,how was he going to break the news to his wife? It was giving him a headache.
He gave it some thought and called Lucy. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Lucy picked up immediately. “Hello?”
She sounded extremely confused. “Matt, is something wrong?”
Matthew opened his mouth, but he could not bring himself to say those words. After stammering for a while, all he managed to say was, “I miss you.”
Lucy laughed on the other end. “The last time we saw each other was 20–minutes ago. How are you missing me already?”
“Good girl, I’ll see you after work.”
Listening to his wife’s gentle voice, Matthew was even more unsure of what to do. Should he tell his wife about it or not?
He had already made up his mind earlier. Why else would he call her?
He felt disheartened.
Lucy noticed that Matthew did not say anything for a long time and thought that he was upset, so she said, “Don’t worry, the day will pass very soon.”
Matthew finally said, “Okay. There’s something I have to tell you tonight when we get home.”
Unaware of what was coming, Lucy said in a sweet voice, “Okay.”
