The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 104 The Paternity Test

"Okay, let's go."

Then, Kerr turned around and left the ward together with Jay. They saw Harley and Avery standing at the door when they came out.

"Take care of Nicole for me,"

Kerr told Avery and gave her a genuine smile. He then turned to Harley.

"Come with me," he told the doctor.

Kerr didn't trust anyone else to do this. He only trusted Harley to perform the paternity test. Kerr knew deep inside that no matter what the result was, he was meant to protect Nicole and Jay.

Even if Jay turned out to be his son, it didn't automatically mean that the Gu family would accept Nicole and Jay. His family was just a bunch of heartless people. Everyone was always ready to betray one another for their own self-interests.

Harrow had just exited the operating room when he was suddenly dragged by Harley. They went to the blood collection room, with Kerr and Jay right behind them.

"So, what do you want us to do?"

As he looked at the way Kerr held Jay in his arms, Harley couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"I want you to do a paternity test between me and Jay. I want to know the results as soon as possible,"

Kerr ordered Harley.

"Is that really necessary? I mean, honestly, the boy already looks like a younger version of you,"

Harley told Kerr. But he prepared a needle for drawing blood anyway.

Upon hearing Harley's comment, Kerr was sure of his relation to Jay more than ever. The P blood type was the rarest blood in the world. Kerr had decided that he was going to be the boy's father the moment he transfused his blood to Jay.

"Your name is Jay, correct? Are you scared of needles?"

Harley gently held Jay's small arm as he coaxed him. He never liked to see other people, whether they were children or adults, cry in front of him. So naturally, he didn't want Jay to shed any tear.

"I am a man. I'm not scared of any injection. Don't worry, Uncle Harley. I will not cry."

Jay straightened his chest proudly. He looked so adorable when he acted as if he was an adult.

Although the boy had put on a brave face, Kerr still took the initiative to grab Jay by the arm. He used his other hand to cover the boy's eyes so he wouldn't see the needle pierce into his skin.

He had never taken care of a child before. However, when it came to Jay, fatherhood seemed to come naturally to him.

Not wanting to waste any time, Harley quickly collected the blood from Jay. Then he collected blood from Kerr and handed the two samples to Harrow.

"I'll get the results in about two hours. In the meantime, you can go back to the ward and take care of your girl. I assure you that I will come to you as soon as I get the results,"

Harley said in a calm tone. Anybody who knew Kerr and Jay could tell that there was no need for a paternity test. But it was still nice to see Kerr put so much effort into one person.

It was only a few months ago when Harley left, and Kerr hadn't met Jay then. So they couldn't have known each other for that long. However, in those short months that Harley was away, Kerr's heart was quickly captured by a girl. She must be really special.

"Harrow, take care of this,"

Harley ordered Harrow once Kerr left. When his assistant nodded, he turned around and left him to do the job. He let out a yawn as he walked out lazily, he wasn't that interested in finding out the result if he was being honest.

Harrow shook his head as he watched Harley's back walk away. He lifted up the two blood samples, observing them for a few seconds before he prepared to start the comparison. However, before he could even begin, the door opened.

At first, he assumed that it was Harley coming back for something. So, he didn't bother to look up.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

When he heard no response, Harrow slowly looked up. Fear immediately took over him upon recognizing the person that just came in.

In the ward

Kerr gently placed Jay next to Nicole and made sure they were comfortable. The bed was big enough so there was plenty of space for Nicole and Jay.

"Uncle Gu, why don't you lie down and rest with us?"

Jay held Kerr's hand tightly. It was as if the child was afraid that if he let go, Kerr would leave them.

He was willing to believe in Kerr. Just thinking about the possibility of finally having someone to call a father excited him. He couldn't wait for the result.

"It's fine. I will be right here with you to make sure that the two of you sleep well."

Kerr fondly caressed the hair on Jay's head. The boy hadn't fully recovered yet, so he was still very weak. Additionally, he was still concerned about Nicole. The past few weeks really took a toll on his strength.

Jay's eyes fluttered as Kerr played with his hair. He was getting sleepy from the gesture. He must have been really tired.

"Okay," Jay muttered softly.

Without letting go of his hand, Jay closed his eyes in an instant.

Kerr didn't have the heart to take his hand back so he just quietly settled on staring at Nicole and Jay. They both looked so peaceful. He couldn't help but notice the similarities that Nicole and Jay had.

Outside of the hospital, Sunny got inside the car and stared blankly at the video playing on her laptop. She was absolutely livid at what she was witnessing.

The car door opened, and Edgar sat in the driver's seat. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"My lady, the deed is done. We are only one step away. Fortunately, Harrow was entrusted with it by Harley so it was easy to get it from him," Edgar said.

Edgar handed out the documents to Sunny.

Sunny was quick to take the file from his hands. She opened it and what she saw made her want to tear the file into pieces.

"Bitch! It really was her!"

Her voice was sharp and vicious, her eyes were full of rage. Seven years ago, despite the Gu family's disapproval, Kerr went to search for a woman. Sunny knew how much impact that the woman had on Kerr. She was probably the only woman that Kerr had truly cared for.

However, in the past seven years, nobody ever found out the identity of that woman. Nobody even knew where to look. Kerr still had many women around him in the past few years, so naturally Sunny put down her guard and didn't pay much attention to that woman from seven years ago.

Fate had a funny way of messing with people. It never even occurred to her that Nicole turned out to be that woman that Kerr had been searching for all those years. She didn't even know that Nicole had given birth to Kerr's son without telling anyone.

"My lady, do you want me to start planning how to get rid of her?"

Edgar asked with a serious tone. He saw how angry she looked and couldn't bear to see her like that. Ever since he was assigned to her side, he had been nothing but loyal to her. Whoever made her angry should pay.

"No, it's not yet time. Right now, Kerr is too focused on Nicole. We might get in trouble if we act on this too quickly," she stated. She looked at him, "Wait, did you remember to destroy the security cameras at the bidding site?"

Kerr had no idea that she was at the bidding site. Sunny wanted all evidence of her being there destroyed so that Kerr would never find out what she did or what she was planning.

The USB flash drive that she took and dumped into the trash can was merely a lesson that she wanted to teach to Nicole. Originally, she wanted to see her fail. She wanted to witness her mess up the bidding event. However, it seemed that she had underestimated her.

She was able to remember all the data in the flash drive and carry on with her speech without much difficulty. It greatly impressed Kerr.

"Yes, everything was erased. The bidding conference is still ongoing so nobody noticed anything."

Whatever she wanted, Edgar was always ready to give it to her no matter what.
