Chapter 194
“Cordelia, you’re weaker in health. What’s happening this time is actually a relatively rare pseudo- pregnancy. It’s not a big issue. Get lots of rest and recuperation, and you can still get pregnant.
“Another thing is…”
Seth pulled out a body check report with the name William Jenner on it.
“I first have to apologize to you. Mr. Jenner’s done a body check here before, and a few medical students under me have taken a portion of the blood samples to conduct tests as an experiment in their internship on their own accord. Yours and Mr. Jenner’s blood samples are included.
“This has severely gone against the hospital rules, and the students have been punished.
“But I took a look at their test results, and it shows that… you and William Jenner are not related by blood!”
Cordelia felt buzzing in her ears as her mind went blank.
…
Zephyr ran up the stairs and searched urgently for the delicate figure among the crowd—only to look up and see Seth exit his office.
“Where’s Cordelia?”
“I asked the nurse to take her to the lounge first.”
“What happened?” Zephyr was so anxious that there was sweat beading on the tip of his nose.
Seth explained the entire matter briefly. Zephyr was also shocked as he listened. He was dazed for a moment.
“Could it be a mistake?”
“I first thought the students made a mistake as well. After all, there are a lot of blood samples in this batch. They could have mixed them up or missed a few,” Seth said softly. “As such, I did another test specifically. I personally did it this time, so there’s no mistake with it.”
Zephyr’s brows were knitted together. “Then the labels on the blood samples…”
“There are staff members specifically handling the labels. Each time a person’s blood is taken, the label and information are put on immediately.”
In this case, it was impossible for the blood samples to go wrong. Seth did the test personally, so it could not have gone wrong.
“So… Cordelia isn’t William Jenner’s daughter?”
Seth nodded.
Zephyr had mixed feelings about it as he looked at the lounge. The door to it was half closed, and he could vaguely see the woman resting on the couch. Her frail back looked helpless.
He clenched his fists, wondering what he should tell her when he entered.
Seth noticed the change in his emotions. “Marcus, you wouldn’t change your attitude toward Cordelia because of her background, right?
“She isn’t the Jenner heiress, but she’s never mistreated you!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“You’re overthinking,” Zephyr replied with a deep voice.
He would not have fallen this deep if he cared about their statuses.
Zephyr pressed his lips together. His sculpted face was still aloof, but there was a wash of sympathy and affection in his eyes.
He went into the room and hugged the girl gently.
Cordelia was taken aback before being pressed into a warm embrace and hearing the familiar heartbeat again.
“Honey…” she uttered shakily after some time, and her voice turned into a sob right away, her feelings complex.
He should have found out by now, right? What would he think? Even she thought the entire incident felt absurd.
She was not a Jenner, yet she had endured insults and humiliation all these years innocently. Perhaps Yelena and Joanne would never have thought that the eyesore they saw her as all these years actually had nothing to do with the Jenners.
