Looking at the woman in front of him who was close to tears, the doctor was instantly concerned.
"What's the matter?"
"Here's the thing. Look, that's my sister and my brother-in-law..." Kesha pointed to the two people in front of her, "Don't they look happy?"
The doctor nodded, "They do..."
"You know, my sister... Just three months ago, something happened to my sister and she was..." Kesha trailed off. The doctor had already understood without her having to finish her sentence. His face instantly morphed into one of complete sympathy.
"That's really sad to hear!"
"According to the time that you've provided, my sister's child likely belongs to the offender..."
"Is that so?" The doctor asked, mouth wide from shock.
Kesha nodded as she rubbed her eyes, "Yes, it really is a huge shame. Because of that incident, my sister had lost her memory from the trauma and my brother-in-law has been worrying about everything ever since. I feel so bad for them..."
The doctor sighed and tried to sympathize, "Well, I guess this is what they call fate."
"Maybe you could do something to help them! Could you help me to change the baby's time of conception?"
The doctor was shocked by her proposal, "Absolutely not! The test results have to be genuine!"
"Doctor, this small act of kindness could save my sister and brother-in-law's family! Do you really want to see such a happy family get torn up in the end? Please, it's not anything big, it's just one small favor..."
She dug through her bag for a card to hand to the doctor.
"Here, please consider this as a little token from me, on behalf of my brother-in-law. You have to accept it. Please, take it and save my sister's marriage!"
When the doctor's gaze fell on the card, he lost his will to resist.
"I... Alright. I'll give it a try."
"Thank you, Doctor! This will surely ensure my sister's happiness!" She shoved the card to him and thanked him a few more times.
The doctor walked back to the laboratory after taking the card took the card. Kesha took this opportunity to walk out through the side door.
She turned towards Eudora's direction and let out a cold smirk before leaving.
After a long wait, Eudora and Amos finally heard the doctor call her name. Just as she was about to move, she saw that Amos had already gotten up, already bringing the results up to her. "So, how is it? Didn't I tell you that I was fine?" Eudora asked with a smile.
Amos's eyes scanned through the results. His heart was beating out of his chest, and he felt dazed for a moment.
"What is it? What's wrong? Let me see," Eudora said hurriedly.
"It's nothing!" Amos interjected immediately. His grip on the sheet of paper tightened as he brought it closer to his chest. "Hey, didn't you say that you were hungry just now? Come one, let's go home."
"What is it? Am I really ill?" Eudora asked. She felt that Amos was acting a little strange.
"No, of course not. I don't quite understand the results myself. I'll have someone else review it when we get back."
Eudora stretched her hand out and tapped Amos's chest a few times.
"President Granger, are you stupid? This is a hospital! If you couldn't understand the results, and let's go find that doctor and ask him about it! Come

on...
"No, that won't be necessary. I want to head back home now. I'm feeling hungry as well. We'll have to queue up again if we want to consult with the doctor. I'll just ask the family doctor when we get back."
Eudora agreed enthusiastically. She was feeling rather famished.
"Well, alright then. Let's go. But before we go, could we get some cake first? I really want one now..." Amos's eyes darkened a little as he suddenly recalled Eudora's similar behavior from when she was bearing Juju. He hadn't known at that time. However, he distinctly remembered her acting like she was now. She often liked to sleep and she was also hungry all the time.
Amos took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Alright, cake it is then. You can eat whatever you want."
