Neil furrowed his brows.
He looked at the female doctor in front of him rather strangely.
"How did you come to this conclusion?"
Dr. Rowena shrugged. She pointed at the indicators of the test she did a moment ago and showed it to Neil.
"Your blood is the same as Nigel's; there are two special types of protein in it. The two special types of proteins are inherited from your parents.
"Joshua, your father, has been my patient before. I've tested this on him before, too. He doesn’t have those two proteins in him, so the two proteins you and Nigel have should've been inherited from your mother."
Neil rolled his eyes at her. "I’ve already said that our mothers are biological sisters. There should be genetic material that is the same. Could you be wrong?”
Dr. Rowena furrowed her brows. It would be very rare for biological sisters to possess the same two proteins yet, at the same time, pass it on to the next generation.
If the boy in front of her and Nigel are not identical twins, it would be impossible for them to have the same two proteins at the same time.
Dr. Rowena took a deep breath. Before she could think of how to explain such a complex concept to a six-year
-old, a child’s voice rang from upstairs. 1
"Aura Gibson and my Mommy aren’t biological sisters."
Nellie slowly walked down the stairs. "Aura has once told my Mommy that she was the wrong child Grandpa picked up from the orphanage."
Neil furrowed his brows tightly. Behind Nellie, Nigel also came downstairs with his laptop.
Both of them walked over to Neil and sat down next to him on each side.
Nigel slowly stretched his hands out to Dr. Rowena. " Doctor."
Dr. Rowena nodded and immediately drew blood from Nigel to re-test.
Neil furrowed his brows and looked at Nellie. "But my Mommy said..."
Nellie pursed her lips. "If you don’t believe me, find an opportunity to look for Aura. Go get her hair and nail samples, and then get Mommy’s hair and nail samples.
