Jane couldn’t help but laugh at the appearance of the two of them and quickly greeted them with a fist salute, “Hello, Boss.”
Laughter and joy filled the office.
The pressure of public opinion on the internet continued to increase, but it didn’t revolve around the two sisters. Instead, it brought more accusations against the two elderly people.
Some netizens even doxxed them, revealing their personal information, including their address.
As soon as the two elderly people returned home, they saw the front gate of their house with one large word painted in bold: “Shameless.”
The two elderly people hurriedly cleaned up their yard.
At this moment, a group of people barged in and started throwing things at them.
“You two elderly people, at your age, can’t you do something good? Must you torment the young girls like this? If you won’t do a paternity test, why do you insist on being their parents? Without a paternity test, no one will recognize you as their parents,” the netizens were relentless.
The two elderly people had never experienced such humiliation in their lives; this sudden turn of events left them with no dignity.
“What nonsense are you spouting? What do you know? You’re just blabbering here,” the two of them tried to argue, but how could their words compare to the millions of voices from the netizens?
No matter what they said, nobody believed them. Instead, the number of people criticizing them continued to grow.
Helpless, the two elderly people took the initiative to contact Finley.
“We’re willing to do a paternity test. Please arrange a time.”
Upon hearing this, Finley wasn’t overly surprised. She discussed it with Jane and arranged for a private institution. She even arranged for a car to pick up the two elderly people.
After several days, when they saw the two elderly people again, they appeared more haggard than before.
Jane took the initiative to step forward and shook their hands. “You’ve been through a lot during this time.”
Her words were casual, but it earned her a disdainful glance from Finley beside her.
The elderly couple could only smile awkwardly and followed them inside.
The whole process was quick; it was just a simple blood test, and it was done in no time.
“The results will be available in a week. You can go back for now, and I’ll inform you when we have the results,” Jane’s driver sent the elderly couple and Finley back.
Jane, on the other hand, went to the doctor’s office.
“Madam…” The doctor recognized Jane and naturally showed a more polite attitude.
“When is the earliest possible time for me to get the results?” Jane wanted to see who was lying.
“If everything goes smoothly, you can get the results tomorrow afternoon.”
Jane nodded and walked out of the hospital. Patrick was waiting for her at the entrance, warming her heart.
“Today is the prenatal check-up day. You didn’t forget, did you?” Patrick valued this child more than anyone else.
Jane tilted her head and thought, realizing that she had indeed forgotten. “I really forgot. There has been too much going on lately.”
Unknowingly, three months had already passed since they found out about the child. Patrick had mentioned not missing any of the prenatal check-ups, as it was his chance to have close contact with the child.
Jane agreed with him on this.
Instead of driving home after leaving the hospital, the two of them held hands and walked in a nearby park, listening to the birds chirping and watching the elderly take their leisurely walks.
Jane felt a deep sense of peace. Now the child had a life and love surrounding them.
The two of them held hands tightly.
“I want to watch over this child at all times,” Patrick said without fear of trouble, as it was his responsibility and duty.
“You should think about what name to give your son,” Jane smiled and teased him.
Patrick glanced at her and chuckled. “We can take our time with the name. Health is what matters.”
Jane’s eyes fell on the pomelo in the elderly man’s hand next to her, and a few words suddenly popped into her mind.
“How about we call the baby Little Pomelo as a nickname?”
Patrick furrowed his brows slightly, “Little Pomelo? Isn’t that name a bit too feminine?”
“Who knows, maybe I’m carrying a daughter in my belly?” Jane deliberately contradicted him.
The two of them playfully bantered, showing their affection for each other.
One day later, the results of the paternity test from the hospital came out, and the doctor personally called Jane.
Patrick accompanied her to the hospital.
“Mr. Pansy is here too. It’s truly an honor for our hospital!” The doctor’s eyes lit up when he saw Patrick.
After all, a large part of the hospital’s investment came from Patrick’s pocket.
“How are the results?” Jane asked.
The doctor opened a file folder and took out a report, placing it on the table. He explained, “Based on the test results, it’s confirmed that they have a blood relationship, but it’s not a father-daughter relationship. It’s a relative relationship.”
This puzzled Jane. Could it be that their biological parents were someone else?
However, considering the resolute attitude of the elderly couple and the stories they shared about Finley’s childhood, none of it seemed fake.
Suddenly, a bold idea spread in Jane’s mind.
Could it be that these two elderly people knew who Finley’s biological parents were?
After leaving the hospital, Jane and Patrick went to visit the couple.
They had left their address at the police station, and Jane followed the address to find their home.
The couple lived in a bungalow with a moderately-sized yard. It looked cozy, but there was a sense of desolation with nothing in the yard.
When Jane arrived, the elderly couple was cleaning the yard.
They were initially stunned when they saw Jane but quickly welcomed her inside.
Patrick had been by her side all along.
“The results of the paternity test are out, and I’m sorry to disappoint you, but you are not Finley and Haven’s biological parents,” Jane deliberately frightened them.
She hoped to gain something useful from them.
The elderly couple didn’t seem as disappointed as expected. Instead, they seemed to have expected this outcome.
“Do you know who her biological parents are?” Jane pressed on, seizing the opportunity.
“We don’t know, and we didn’t expect this result either.” The elderly couple refused to say anything.
Jane needed to be patient and extract some useful information from them.
“If you’re aware of the events between you, Finley, and the online uproar that has been going on, then you know that once this result is revealed, a large number of netizens will morally criticize you. If the police start investigating your responsibilities, don’t blame me for not warning you.”
Jane had said both kind and harsh words, but the elderly couple remained silent.
