After a while, he abruptly raised his head and barked an order at Evan, "Send Miss Reid home."
His tone was much colder than before and had a subtle sense of urgency to it.
Evan seemed to be surprised by the result. He was stunned for some time before he reacted and followed Hendrix's instructions. He invited me out of the room and urged me along, "Please, Miss Reid."
I didn't get up at once. Instead, I turned around and called out, "Mr. Roberts!"
With the bond I felt as a mother with her child, I didn't believe that the bond between me and Wynn existed without a reason. Maybe something had gone wrong somewhere.
Although I couldn't convince myself that someone would trick Hendrix, I couldn't accept this.
Hendrix ignored my persistence and sternly reprimanded Evan, "Do you need me to repeat myself?!"
I was unwilling to accept the results, so I said, "Mr. Roberts, maybe something went wrong when you sent my DNA for verification, maybe we could..."
Hendrix ignored me. He calmly took the test report from the doctor and flipped through it.
Noticing his arrogant attitude, the anger in my heart boiled. I didn't know what gave me the guts to do this, but I shouted at him, "Hendrix Roberts!"
Hendrix finally reacted, but he had merely paused for a moment before he continued reading the report without even bothering to look at me.
I was about to argue with him when Evan chimed in, "Miss Reid, it's time to go."
Although it wasn't pleasant to the ear, I could sense Evan's kind intention. He was afraid that I would irritate Hendrix.
I had no choice but to leave for now.
Evan strode the whole way out, so I had to run to catch up with him. I then asked, "Evan, are you sure the maternity test report is accurate? You've been by Hendrix's side for such a long time. Don't you want to know the truth?"
