"Quina, have you brought it back?" As soon as Quina came in, Madam Lilian couldn't help asking.
That was the first time Quina saw Madam Lilian being so excited, and she understood her feelings very well. Quina was also happy for her. It would be a good thing if Madam Lilian could find her own daughter back.
"Madam, I've brought it back," Quina replied with a smile. She produced the folder containing the documents from her hand, and with both hands, handed it to Madam Lilian.
Madam Lilian's exhilaration coursed through her. Her face was flushed, and her hands were trembling as she took the file. Her heart was extremely heavy, yet she felt an indescribable excitement.
In the file was the DNA test result between Madam Lilian and Sara, who was Madam Lilian's only relative in the world. After this, Madam Lilian would be able to confirm that Sara was the child she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and she would be able to reunite with her.
How wonderful and exciting it would be!
Madam Lilian slowly opened the file and pulled the document out.
She put on her glasses and perused it carefully.
After a while, the initial excitement on her face had turned to suspicion, then to disbelief. Quina was frightened to watch the changes on Madam Lilian's face.
Madam Lilian's face gradually calmed down. The enthusiasm on her face disappeared, and even her face was full of disappointment and despair. The light from her eyes was bleak and dull. There was also a hint of surprise, suspicion, unwillingness, and desperation.
Madam Lilian's hands began to tremble as she held the paper. Her entire body was weak and powerless, and she was staggering, even.
"Madam, whafs wrong?" Quina stood beside Madam Lilian and felt that something was obviously amiss. The expression on Madam Lilian's face was unexpected. There must be something wrong. Quina nervously supported her.
"Impossible. It's impossible," Madam Lilian murmured. Her face was blank and anxious, and she seemed to be on edge.
"Madam, is there something wrong?" Quina panicked. Madam Lilian's expression was too unsightly. Just now, her face was still beaming, but she was defeated in an instant, and her lips began to tremble.
"Quina, how is it possible? Apparently, Sara is not my daughter." Madam Lilian grabbed Quina's hand and asked desperately.
After hearing this, Quina was also stunned. She was at a loss at what to do.
Madam Lilian's eyes were riddled with pain and despair, and she could keep her wits about her no longer.
Quina touched Madam Lilian's hands, only to find them extremely cold. When she heard Madam Lilian's sad and helpless question, she felt a chill washing over her heart.
She finally understood the cruel truth. The result of the DNA diagnosis showed that Sara was not the daughter of Madam Lilian!
How could it be!
They looked so alike, and Madam Lilian's intuitions were just as strong. Could it be that fate was really making fools out of people?
It was beyond their expectation. Never had they expected such a result. God seemed to be joking with them.
He erased this ray of hope once more.
Madam Lilian had no strength left. She took the result sheet and flopped down on the bed. She lowered her head, her body felt a blood curdling cold.
This was the first time such an unforeseen cruel reality struck down the strong woman. At this time, she looked so fragile and so pitiful.
"Madam, it's okay. This may be wrong. I'll ask again." Quina comforted her, who was in distress. "Even if it's not, it still doesn't matter. We can continue to search for your daughter until we find her." She picked up the shawl and gently draped it over Madam Lilian's shoulder, comforting her.
However, Madam Lilian was so disappointed that her face was blank and dispirited.
At this time, nothing mattered. There was no way to denounce the DNA diagnosis, a testament to the immutable science.
Quina really didn't know how to comfort her.
"No, it's impossible. She's my daughter, and I trust my instincts." Madam Lilian kept shaking her head and mumbling to herself. At this moment, she was like a child, unable to accept this cruel reality.
Madam Lilian had been brimming with joy just now. However, the outcome was totally divorced from her expectations. How could she be happy?
"Madam, lie down and rest first." Seeing that she was so emotional, Quina was afraid that something might happen. So, she could only persuade her to lie down and rest.
Madam Lilian was assisted to lie on the bed by Quina. She closed her eyes. Her heart was in dull discomfort.
Sara's face kept flashing in her mind. Her facial features were the exact mold of Flavian and her. How could she not be her daughter?
"Quina, did you make sure that you didn't get the wrong sample when you went to the hospital that day?" She suddenly opened her eyes, stared at Quina, and asked.
After being stunned for a moment, Quina immediately replied, "Madam, it's impossible. You saw me put the hair together and never took it out again. Plus, I sent it to the hospital immediately and personally handed it to the person in charge of the laboratory. I've told you so many times that the possibility of making a mistake was virtually zero."
Madam Lilian's eyes gradually darkened, and she closed her eyes. She waved her hand and ordered, "You should go out first. I want to be alone."
"Madam, don't be too overwrought. We will find your daughter sooner or later." It was difficult for Quina to watch Madam Lilian be so sad. Hence, she kept comforting her.
