Chapter 431

Quintis held Emily's hand tightly.

Even he, who was usually so reserved, had tears of excitement streaming down his face. He pulled Emily into his arms, and together, they wept.

After the initial wave of joy, Emily choked back her sobs and said, "Quintis, I can't wait any longer! I've never felt this excited or hopeful in my life.

"Quintis, let's skip the DNA test. Tomorrow, come with me to Alnewgo University, okay? We'll find out which class he's in and where he lives. I need to ask him face-to-face.

"If he knows I'm his mother, why has he never tried to find us all these years? Doesn't he know how much I've missed him? How much pain and tears I've shed because of him?"

The facts were laid out before them. All the evidence pointed to one truth.

But Quintis firmly rejected her idea.

The current evidence was based solely on his and Emily's assumptions. Even though everything seemed to align, it was still unproven.

They couldn't be absolutely certain that Jack was their son.

Confronting him directly would be too abrupt. If he was Nicholas, such a sudden approach could alarm him—or worse, drive him away.

Besides, there were signs that Jack already knew who they were. If they appeared suddenly, he might retreat and disappear from their lives once again.

Their past was marred by intense conflict. Any reconciliation would be exceedingly difficult.

There was a risk of losing him again, perhaps forever.

For now, questioning him outright could only end in disaster.

After much thought, they quickly devised a plan.

The top priority was to obtain Jack's blood sample for a paternity test. It was the most direct and crucial piece of evidence.

At the same time, they needed to send someone to Perthter City for an in-depth investigation. If possible, they would gather information from Jack's adoptive parents.

By pursuing multiple avenues, they could ensure Jack's identity with certainty. Overwhelmed with emotion, Emily hugged Quintis tightly, tears streaming down her face. That night, neither of them could sleep.

The barrier separating them from their son was finally about to be broken down. On the other side of it, he had grown into a young man, quietly waiting for them.

Early the next morning, Quintis called George again. He expressed their strong desire to obtain Jack's blood sample.

George agreed without hesitation but warned that getting the sample wouldn't be easy.

Meanwhile, a team was sent to Perthter City for a thorough investigation. They hoped to learn more about Jack and his family from the neighbors.

With these in motion, Quintis and Emily should have stayed home to wait for the results.

But she couldn't bear the agonizing anticipation.

All the evidence pointed to one undeniable truth. They didn't even need to wait for the results from Perthter City or the DNA confirmation.

Wasn't the answer already clear?

She could no longer wait.

She clutched Quintis's hand tightly. With a pleading tone, she asked, "Quintis, will you come with me to Alnewgo University? I... I just want to see him. Even if it's just from a distance! Seriously, if I don't see him, I won't be able to find any peace."

Any mother who had lost her only son for years would be unable to sleep upon learning that he might still be alive. She would think about him day and night, longing to see him.

Quintis understood exactly how Emily felt. After all, he hadn't slept well either, his mind spinning through the night.

But reason held him back. "Aren't you worried about tipping him off?"

If Emily lost control of her emotions, the consequences would be unpredictable. This text is hosted at find✦novel.net
