Chapter 439

Seeing how crestfallen and anxious Quintis and Emily were, a wave of helplessness washed over the doctor. However, he shook his head determinedly.

"There's no mistake. I know how important this analysis was to both of you, Mr. and Mrs. Lycan. I carried out the procedures personally. Unless you provided me with the wrong blood sample, if not the results in this report are conclusive."

The doctor's confident statement was like a death sentence for Emily and Quintis' hopes and dreams. Emily had gone completely numb as she repeated the same question over and over again.

"How could this be?" she asked.

Quintis felt as if his heart was being stabbed by knives when he saw how upset Emily was. He was disappointed too, but he needed to temper his emotions to comfort her. "Emily, let's go."

Emily swayed from left to right as she stumbled out of the analysis center. She didn't have any idea how she made it back home. The only thing she was aware of was how her soul had been shredded into a million pieces the moment she heard the test results.

The more hope she harbored in her heart, the more devastating the blow when her hopes were dashed. Her life felt so bleak, her disappointment so great that she even considered cutting her life short. She had never experienced such tremendous agony in her life.

Quintis' footsteps were also weighed down. He felt like he had aged a decade in the span of a few hours. When they finally arrived home, Quintis hugged Emily, who he knew was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "Emily, we can't fight back against what fate has already planned for us. Let's not be upset anymore, alright?"

Tears fell like raindrops from Emily's eyes. "I understand, but... why did things end up like this? Do you know how much hope I was clinging on to, Quintis? Why did it end up like this?"

Emily couldn't wrap her head around the test results. She refused to accept it. Unfortunately, Quintis didn't have any answers for her questions either.

Suddenly, Emily started shaking her head wildly as if she had been injected with a new burst of energy. "No, it can't be true! I could feel that he was Nicholas. I could feel it in my blood, I could feel the strings of fate that tie us together.

"But why did the DNA test say otherwise? Something must have gone wrong somewhere during the analysis."

Her eyes were brimming with hope when she looked at Quintis. Her voice trembled when she murmured, "Quintis, do you think something might have gone wrong during the procedure? Could that be the reason why there wasn't a match for the DNAS?"

Quintis' brow was knitted together tightly. "Are you suggesting that Jack tampered with the blood sample?" This text is hosted at FіndNovel.net

"I don't have any concrete evidence, but my gut feeling is telling me that he did something," said Emily.

Emily and Jack were enemies at that moment in time. Not only that, but Jack also knew their identities. If her hypothesis was correct, the DNAS not matching during the test was actually the most predictable outcome.

Perhaps Jack already knew that Emily was his biological mother, knew that she had abandoned him all those years ago. Jack might have developed a hatred toward her, which naturally meant that he would be opposed to reuniting with them.

Perhaps Jack had also realized that there was something off with the blood tests that were aimed exclusively at students hailing from Perthter City. It was odd that a simple blood test would reward the students with a 5,000 dollar nutritional subsidy. Perhaps he had grown suspicious of the attractive reward. After all, what financial group would willingly donate such a large sum of money?

Perhaps after Jack pieced together all the oddities of the situation, he had sent someone else to the school's infirmary to donate their blood in his place. If that was the case, it would solidify the fact that Jack knew Emily was searching for him, further cementing the mother and son relationship between them.

Quintis sighed quietly. He gently said to Emily, "I'll arrange for someone to get to the bottom of this."

Although Quintis himself no longer harbored any delusions of reuniting with Jack, he still wanted to protect what little hope Emily still clung to. They couldn't give up so easily before exhausting all their leads.

Emily nodded quietly. It was as the saying went, good things did not come easily. If Jack was truly her son, he could not escape from that reality no matter what he did.

The next morning, Quintis once again dialed George's number. He wanted to investigate the surveillance tapes of the day the blood tests had taken place.
