| rushed to the door and opened it. He immediately got up, just as he had done earlier.
Standing at the door, | hesitated for three seconds. "Is there a cafe in the hospital? I'd like to drink something."
Ronny ledout of the hospital, and we cto the cafe next door.
It was only then did | notice how scattered and brightly lit the surrounding buildings were, though there were not
many people
He seemed to notice my doubt and explained, "These are all Mr. Hodds' properties. The private hospital is only
one of the projects. There are also business parks, pioneer parks, residential parks, and so on. But they're a bit
far away from here." | did not entertain him. | was not interested in Alex, and his background was irrelevant to
me. Therefore, | did not say a word all the way to the cafe.
Ronny made introductions the whole way, and from what he was saying, this was a convenient place to live in
although we were far from the city.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly | was not concerned about these things.
Ronny then habitually ordered two cups of coffee.
"Mr. Hodds toldthat you must have a lot of doubts right now and don't know where to start asking. If you're
unsure, then why don't | explain to you from the beginning?" he tentatively asked. After waiting for two seconds
and seeing that | did not refuse, he began to recount.
"First of all, you need to understand that all the documents you saw earlier are genuine, including the paternity
test. But you're right about Mr. Flodds not being Munchkin's biological father."
| frowned slightly. I did not wish he was either, but he would be contradicting everything he just said, no?
"Mr. Hodds and Mr. Mason Lynch are brothers of the smother."
| never knew that Mason had this kind of family background.
"Back then, the Lynches were highly admired as a medical family. Mr. Mason's mother, also known as Lady
Winnie, was madly in love with Mr. Lynch, but she quickly realized that something was wrong." As expected, the
story might turn out different, and a cliche plot was surely not going to happen.
"Shortly after that, Lady Winnie discovered that Mr. Lynch had a mistress and decisively asked for a divorce.
However, the Lynches refused to for the sake of their reputation. Lady Winnie gradually becdepressed,
turning into a completely different person in a short period of six months."
Ronny told the story of Alex's mother. He did not have much to do with it, but there were hints of worry on his
face.
"At the time, Lady Winnie met our old master, Reuben Hodds. Lady Winnie was already pregnant with Mason at
the tand knew that the Lynches would definitely not let go of the matter."
"After considering it, Lady Winnie put her cards on the table and agreed to give birth to the baby with the
condition that she would get a divorce and be allowed to leave immediately after the child was born. In
consideration of their reputation and wanting the child to stay, the Lynches agreed."
| empathized with Lady Winnie. This woman must have been extremely desperate to have such thoughts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"In the days when she was with Mr. Hodds, Lady Winnie was happiest. They had a child of their own after two
years, and he's Mr. Alex Hodds, the man you see today.
"Due to physical reasons, however, there were residual of Mr. Lynch's genes in the mother's body, so when Mr.
Hodds was born, the genes in his body were fused with the mother's genes. When a DNA test was done, he was
found to match the child's genes at an extremely high percentage." | was extremely shocked to hear Ronny's
explanation. | was surprised that such a thing would even happen.
"So don't worry because the paternity test is genuine. It's just that Mr. Hodds isn't Mr. Lane's biological father.
Your friend didn't lie to you."
However, it did not seem right when | thought about it. "When you took out the paternity test report the last
time, you did so with the intention to mislead me, right?"
The other party fell silent.
Forget it. The answer no longer mattered.
