Evelyn stepped forward with a smile. "Not so fast. It'll take four hours to get the results. Don't be anxious, Grandpa."
"That long!" Old Mr. Quintin sat down and glanced at the time, feeling as though every minute was an agony.
Don, meanwhile, asked Gia with concern, "Did it hurt to have your blood drawn?"
Gia smiled faintly. "Just a little prick. It didn't hurt."
"While we wait, I'd like to say a few words," Old Mr. Jarvis announced.
Everyone fell silent and looked at him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Mr. Jarvis spoke slowly. "There are only two possible oues, each with a fifty-fifty chance. Everyone should be prepared. If
Evelyn is a Quintin, then we can all rejoice, and there's nothing more to be said. If she isn't, Gia, you shouldn't be disappointed
or resent Old Mr. Quintin. All these years, he has never given up on finding Nana. When Nana was lost, he nearly followed her,
refusing to eat or drink. You saw that with your own eyes."
Gia's nose stung, and she nodded slowly. "I understand what you mean, Mr. Jarvis."
Old Mr. Jarvis then turned to Old Mr. Quintin. "The sgoes for you. Your body can't handle extrjoy or sorrow. Even if Evelyn
isn't her, you must be mentally prepared.”
Old Mr. Quintin, however, said nothing. He stood up and walked out to the garden alone.
Just as Evelyn was about to follow him, Old Mr. Jarvis said, "Gia, you should go talk to your father."
Gia agreed and followed him out.
In the back garden, Old Mr. Quintin sat alone on a bench, quietly looking at the blooming jasmine flowers, though his gaze seemed
distant, as if he were seeing nothing at all.
"Dad."
Gia sat down beside him.
"What if we just don't get the results?" Old Mr. Quintin said suddenly. "Can't you just pretend Evelyn is Nana?"
Gia lowered her eyes. "So, what you really want is just speace of mind," she said quietly. "It doesn't actually matter if
Evelyn is Nana or not."
