"But later, I had someone look into it and found out you were married. Then, by total coincidence, you reached out to me through Quintina's connection to handle your divorce case."
Looking back on it now, Joseph couldn't help but chuckle in disbelief.
"Tell me, isn't fate absolutely wild? It's like an invisible hand kept pushing us together."
Vivica hadn't known any of this before. She had just assumed meeting Joseph was a stroke of incredible luck. Hearing it from this perspective, she also felt that destiny was truly mysterious.
"But if you all suspected Chaim was Lennon's child, how did he turn out to be yours?"
"Because once I knew Chaim existed, I had to find a way to verify the connection. My mom's health was failing fast—she was dying of a broken heart, you know how it is. My initial thought was that if the boy was Lennon's, the news might give my parents a reason to keep going."
"As luck would have it, while I was sorting through Lennon's belongings, I stumbled upon a sperm donation notice. I took it to Harvey, and he confirmed that Lennon had done it with his squad years ago. But when we dug deeper, we found out Lennon's sample had already been used by an infertile couple... and the IVF failed."
Hearing this, Vivica suddenly understood, but a wave of profound shock washed over her.
The fallen firefighter, Joseph's younger brother, had actually been a donor too.
"Yeah, IVF success rates aren't guaranteed. It's common for it to fail a time or two. Some people never succeed." Vivica had firsthand experience with this topic. She had failed her first attempt too.
