Grace looked serious, "There's no way they could look so alike without being blood related. I've got this gut feeling. That kid is my grandson! Elijah was just like him when he was little, always with that icy stare. Those eyes, exactly like Elijah’s when he was a kid!"
The nanny replied, "But it seems like Mr. Elijah hasn’t suspected anything about the kid's background."
Grace retorted, "I know Elijah better than he knows himself! He probably can't even remember what he was like as a kid."
The nanny, "You're right. So, what's your plan?"
A determined glint flashed in Grace's eyes, "I need to figure out whether that kid and Elijah are father and son. A quick DNA test should do the trick."
"Um... but to do a DNA test, we need to get the kid's blood or hair..."
"I'll find a way, I'm sure of it," Grace was brimming with confidence, "Once I dig up the truth, then I'll talk to Elijah."
Hospital.
Sarah, on her phone, scrolled through the news to kill time. She needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a couple of days.
Elijah visited her this morning, but was gone after less than ten minutes when a call came through on his phone.
Now that she no longer carried the Bourne family's child, Grace wasn't so invested in her. Her heart sank a bit, but the billion dollars Elijah had transferred to her certainly took the edge off the disappointment. Money can't buy everything, but it sure as hell can make you happy.
She'd accepted Elijah's hefty payout, so naturally, she had to continue with Makayla's treatment. If there were breakthroughs in Makayla's condition, Elijah would surely reward her. Right now, Elijah still needed her, and she wasn't about to settle for just one billion.
Suddenly, a message popped up. She swiped it open, and a video jumped out.
