Chapter 1323 Paternity Test
“Mr. Adelmar.” Daniel leaned over from the sickbed. “There’s no need for a paternity test. I trust you,and I also trust Doris,”
“Doris is right. You will only continue to be bothered until this matter is clarified. Since you want to betogether, don’t let anything come between you, and I’ll feel guilty too, if I’m the reason behind it.”
“Mr. Adelmar…”
“That settles it.” Waylon said. “I’ll go get hair samples from Una and Nessa right away, do a paternitytest, and show you the results to put your mind at ease.”novelbin
“Mr. Adelmar!” Doris and Daniel called out together. However, Waylon had already walked outresolutely.
Half an hour later, Waylon arrived at Starhill Garden.
The nanny, Mrs. Flores, opened the door for him.
“I need Una’s hair.” Waylon said directly. “He hasn’t gone to sleep, has he?”
If Una had fallen asleep, he would have to wait. He couldn’t wake up the child just for a strand of hair.“No,” Mrs. Flores replied. “Una and Nessa are learning to walk, playing with their baby walkers.”
“In that case, I’ll go see them, Waylon said, slipping into slippers and entering the living room. Sureenough, Una and Nessa stood in their baby walkers, gliding around the living room.
When they saw Waylon come in, the two little ones stopped gliding and giggled at him.
Nessa was already speaking a bit and could already greet him.
Waylon felt a softness in his heart, an unfamiliar sensation washing over him.
If Doris and Daniel had truly become a couple, these adorable twins would become Daniel’s after theygot married, and they would call him “Dad.”
Waylon felt a pang of pain in his heart, a feeling he was very reluctant to accept. But there was nothinghe could do; it was Doris who had chosen Daniel.
She and Daniel had gone through a life-and-death experience together, and their relationship hadtaken a qualitative leap. Unlike him, who had always remained somewhat distant and lukewarm fromDoris.
“Mr. Adelmar, what do you need Una’s hair for?” Mrs. Flores asked.
“A paternity test.” Waylon didn’t hide it either. “Daniel and Doris are dating, and I don’t want Daniel tomisunderstand Doris because of me. So, I’m doing a paternity test for me and the children so thatDaniel -can put his mind at ease.”
“But…” Mrs. Flores frowned. “That’s not right, Mr. Adelmar. Doris doesn’t like Daniel. They are justfriends!”
It’s different now, Waylon said. “Danie’s willingness to sacrifice himself moved Doris, so it’sunderstandable that she’d want to reciprocate. I get it.”
“So be it, Waylon said. “I need Una’s hair for the test. I’m off to the hospital.”
With that, he gently picked up Una and patted him in his arms, saying softly, “I’m sorry. This will onlyhurt a little.”
Then he gently plucked a strand of hair from Una. Afterward, he kissed the little one’s check and puthim back in the baby walker.
“Mr. Adelmar, is there a misunderstanding between you and Doris?” Mrs. Flores still didn’t want to giveup. “What misunderstanding?” Waylon said. “We get along naturally, like water and oil.
“That’s the problem,” Mrs. Flores argued. “Why don’t you two try getting to know each other a littlemore?”
“Mrs. Flores, are you kidding?” Waylon laughed. “Am I such a casual person? Doris is also not afrivolous. woman either.”
“Of course, you’re both good people,” Mrs. Flores said. “What I mean is-
“I have other matters to attend to; I won’t talk to you about this anymore.”
Waylon waved to Una and Nessa and walked away.
Back at the hospital, Waylon went directly to the biology department and requested an on-the-spot,comprehensive paternity test. He insisted that all the necessary signatures and endorsements beincluded.
After a little over an hour, the results were ready. Waylon took the report and headed toward theorthopedic ward at the back.
Daniel should be put to ease now after reading the paternity test result, right? He and Doris couldcontinue their relationship without distractions, too. Despite wishing them well, Waylon couldn’t helpfeeling inexplicably annoyed.
Upon arriving at Daniel’s ward, he knocked on the door cautiously. He didn’t dare barge in again forfear of seeing something he shouldn’t.
Doris and Daniel had just survived a life-threatening situation, and now they were most likely gettingalong harmoniously.
“Come in,” Doris’ gentle voice came from behind the door.
She’s still in there after so long? Looks like she’s serious about taking care of Daniel. Waylon felt apang of sadness but held onto the paternity test report and strutted in.
