Chapter 134
Pearl brought Richard’s hair to the hospital in the morning for the DNA test.
As she was leaving, Hugo, who happened to be walking past, spotted her. Once she had left, he entered the
DNA testing room.
“What was the girl here for?” Hugo casually inquired as he walked in.
The doctor recognized him and immediately tensed up. “Dr. Waldorf, she came for a DNA test.”
“What test?”
The doctor handed the sample to him and smiled. “This one…”
Hugo picked up the sample and examined it. There were two strands of hair inside, one long and one short.
The short one was…
He suddenly had a bold idea, then he said to the doctor, “Could you get this month’s report for me please?”
The doctor nodded and went to retrieve the report. Seizing the opportunity, Hugo took out the long hair from the bag and replaced it with one of his own.
After that, he stood up straight and instructed, “Take your time. I have to rush off, so once you find it, bring it to my office.”
“Okay.”
Hugo then left with a cunning smile.
Pearl was ready to return to the office when she noticed a familiar woman sitting on the floor, looking
injured.
Approaching her, she found that the woman was the same one who had given her flowers.
“Are you alright?” Pearl squatted down and checked her, discovering that she had a sprained ankle. “The hospital is nearby. Would you like me to take you there?”
The woman was in immense pain and refused to speak. Instead, she just nodded.
Pearl helped her to her feet, and as they leaned closer, she noticed a silver necklace around the woman’s neck. The pendant on it looked familiar.
It reminded her of a time in middle school when, after school every day, her father would hold a similar silver pendant in his hands. However, his had a heart cut-out, while the lady’s pendant was a solid heart.
After her father’s death, he was buried with the pendant, and after so many years, she didn’t recognize it at
first.
“Can I ask you a question?” Pearl asked cautiously.
The woman replied with some enthusiasm. “Sure, go ahead.”
