In the laboratory, Brian Zane looked gravely at the two blood reports in his hand.
Previously, he had drawn blood from Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner to check if they were poisoned in the same manner, and unexpectedly, he made a surprising discovery.
It seemed he had uncovered a shocking secret!
The genetic sequence similarity between Estelle Sterling and Caleb Faulkner’s blood was strikingly high. What did this mean?
Such a high overlap in genetic data is only found between full siblings!
Due to his suspicions, Brian Zane sent both blood samples to a professional agency for genetic testing and finally received the results.
With a heavy expression, Brian Zane held the test report and fell into contemplation...
The two kids turned out to be siblings?
No wonder when he saw Caleb Faulkner, he felt the boy looked very much like Estelle.
Brian Zane knew about Eleanor Sterling having a daughter who died young, but what was the deal with Caleb Faulkner?
His age was so close to Estelle’s; could it be that Eleanor Sterling hadn’t told him the truth, and after giving birth to Estelle, she secretly had another with a different man?
Brian Zane put away the test report and hurried to find Eleanor Sterling, dragging her into a room.
"Eleanor, I have a question to ask you, and you must answer me truthfully."
Eleanor Sterling saw Brian Zane mysteriously pulling her into the room and thought there was progress with Estelle’s illness. Hearing his question, she looked at him with some confusion.
"Teacher, go ahead, is it about Estelle?"
"Yes and no," Brian Zane said, rubbing his chin, "Have you kept any boy toys these past few years?"
Eleanor Sterling looked at Brian Zane with a ’you’re an idiot’ expression, then replied speechlessly, "Teacher, do I look like such a person?"
Brian Zane gave an awkward smile, coughed lightly, and said, "You’ve been raising Estelle by yourself all these years, without a man by your side, you have needs to address, don’t you?
Feel free to tell me, I won’t spill a word!"
Eleanor Sterling’s cheek twitched, and she spat out two words through her teeth, "No."
"Really no?" Brian Zane still had some doubts.
Eleanor Sterling smiled dangerously; did she look like she was joking?
"Alright then, if there’s nothing else, you may leave." For original chapters go to novel⟡fire.net
Eleanor Sterling felt that Brian Zane was being rather inexplicable, suddenly asking if she had a boy toy.
The people chasing her lined up outside the galaxy; did she need to find a boy toy? Just a beckoning finger, and someone would come running!
"Any progress with Estelle’s condition?" she asked.
"Not for now, I’ll notify you when there is!"
Brian Zane pouted with dissatisfaction; he actually lost a bet with Elder Sawyer as Elder Sawyer awakened Caleb Faulkner, while his progress was stuck.
Now that he had uncovered such information, he found himself in a bit of chaos.
Since Eleanor Sterling said no, she wouldn’t deceive him.
Moreover, Caleb Faulkner is a Faulkner Family child. His father is Alaric Faulkner, and his mother is Faye Sterling.
Back when Faye Sterling came to the Faulkner Family with the child, a DNA test was done for both sides, at the Aethelgard First Hospital.
He still remembered this incident, so where exactly did the error occur?
Perhaps he needed to conduct another DNA test; once he figured it out, he’d inform Eleanor Sterling.
Just when Brian Zane dragged Eleanor Sterling into the room, Alaric Faulkner immediately followed quietly behind.
He was a bit perplexed as to why Elder Sawyer and Brian Zane always liked pulling Eleanor Sterling aside for secret talks.
Standing by the door, Alaric Faulkner clearly heard Brian Zane ask Eleanor Sterling if she had a boy toy.
Initially, Eleanor Sterling answered no, but after Brian Zane’s earnest persuasion, she remained silent!
So, this meant Eleanor Sterling did have one!
Unexpectedly, just as they reconciled, he discovered he was being cheated on; Alaric Faulkner’s face turned sullen.
