“Oh, okay... But even so, you can't hurt... Wait! You what?"

It was not until then that Julie realized what Anthony was saying, and her thoughts caught up to her mouth.

She Looked at Anthony blankly, as if couldn't quite believe what he was saying.

Looking calm and composed, as if all he had done was state that the sky was blue, Anthony continued, "As for the maternity test report, since you don't have any special requirements, the testing agency will provide the correct result."

After waiting for six hours, Julie finally received the maternity test results.

But she also saw Anthony receiving another report from the head of the accreditation agency.

Although she was curious about what was happening, she did not pry as she knew better than to intrude other people's privacy.

So, she refrained from asking further about the contents of Anthony's report.

She had already opened the one in her hand and read the contents. In-depth analysis, comparisons, and evaluations of many types of data were all included in the report's extensive content.

These words and numbers were beyond the average person's comprehension, but there was one statement that could be read by everyone who could read.

“The parent-child relationship is ruled out since 10 out of the 15 STR gene groups are unmatched."

Julie's gaze lingered on this statement for quite some time, and for reasons she couldn't quite place, a pang of melancholy began to form in her chest.

Maria, indeed, was not her daughter.

Clearly, there was no miracle in this mundane world.

As Maria groggily awoke, Julie grabbed the report and cast a sad glance her way.

"Maria, I'm going to see your grandfather,” Julie softly said.

“Okay, mom."

Maria called Julie her mom again, but she didn't notice that the Latter was looking at her with sad eyes.

“I'LL be taking Maria home then," Anthony said.

Therefore, both parties went their separate ways.
