Chapter 1699
Suddenly, her heart jolted as memories flooded into her mind. She remembered the past, from the first time they met, till they fell in love, all the ugly scenes, ending with their break up. Victoria Atlas felt a void in her heart.
Did he love her? Did he hate her?
But now, she didn't know how she felt anymore!
It was just replaced by emptiness!
Who would have a perfect life?
After all, their lives intersected before. In all fairness, besides the mistake he made, among all the people in the world, he was a good person who was close to her. Now, when she knew his intentions, the trace of hatred in Victoria's heart disappeared without a trace.
That morning, she watched this video several times. The weight in her heart peeled off layer by layer, floating away like leaves in the wind. Her heart became lighter and lighter.
Soon, Victoria Atlas received a call from the hospital. At that moment, it felt as though she had received a death sentence and her heart was in her throat. She was so afraid that instead of getting the results through the call, she went to the hospital.
In the office, she accepted a white paper envelope with a serial number. Her hands were trembling. She opened it even as her strength drained away.
When her line of sight landed on the conclusion, she took a step back, her eyes wide open with shock. "No, impossible! No-"
The similarity of DNA was more than 99%? Were they close relatives?
How was this possible?
How could it be so coincidental?
Although she had doubts about Selena Duff's words, subconsciously, Victoria actually thought that this was likely a conspiracy! Her mother and Selena's mother did not know each other and had no grudges against each other. How could it be so coincidental that Selena and her mother were involved with the same man? How could fate have done this to the three of them?
Too many coincidences did not make it the truth!
But the DNA results proved that they were closely related!
She and Trevor Clements-?
Her brain was buzzing, and her face turned pale. The paper in her hand fell, and she could feel the world spinning. Finally, the nurse's voice woke her up.noveldrama
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Having a sudden thought, Victoria's eyes fell again on the nurse who took the report from her hand. She grabbed her wrist.
"Nurse, is there a mistake? Can this report be wrong? It's impossible, impossible!"
Because she was worried that Selena might be able to trick her, she had considered carefully before finally choosing Carson Vives's hospital. She came in person because she trusted him. But now, the truth slapped Victoria in her face. She no longer knew what to do.
After looking at the serial number of the envelope, the nurse said seriously,
"There is no mistake! This test was made a priority. Look at the red mark on it. It's the exclusive mark by Doctor Vives. I remember that he personally reminded the testing department on this. This morning, Doctor Vives called me and asked me to pick up the report and tell you that the report is ready. He is busy with surgery today so he is not free. But I just got the report from the testing department and Doctor Vives asked me to give it to you personally. This is the right envelope-" The nurse explained as she examined the envelope.
But her every sentence was like knives stabbing into Victoria's heart. She realized that even if Selena Duff wanted to do something in his hospital, she could not do it in such a short time. After all, in this hospital, she would need to act based on opportunities.
Normally, people would not do tests like this in hospitals with close connections, especially when Carson Vives was close to Trevor Clements. So, it should be hard for Selena Duff to guess her intentions. But based on the results, how could it be possible?
Her mum said that she looked like her dad, so how could she not be her father's biological daughter?
And her parents only had her. If she was not their biological child, and she looked different from them, how was it that no one realized all these years? Since she was young, she was pampered and doted on by her parents!
Thinking that her parents might not be her parents and her husband could no longer be her husband, Victoria felt that her world was about to collapse. Her vision went dark, and she instinctively held the table and closed her eyes.
No!
She had a wonderful life now after overcoming so many setbacks and injuries, as well as recovering from her previous relationship. It was not easy for her to be with Treveor Clements. Was everything going to go to waste?
Was she really Trevor's cousin?
Then what should the two of them do?
Victoria's mind was in a mess. She looked at the nurse and slowly took the report from her hand.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. This is our responsibility!"
The nurse was very perceptive and patient. She reached out a hand to support
her. "Miss, do you want to sit for a while? Do you want some water?"
"No! Oh, by the way, how accurate is a DNA report? I mean... is there any possibility of an error in the testing? For example, the probability of two irrelevant people with high DNA matches?"
If she and Trevor were cousins, the whole world would be in chaos!
At this moment, Victoria did not know whether she should cry or laugh. If this happened before their marriage, it might have been a blessing for her. But now, everything had been turned upside down. In the past two years when they had been together, they had experienced all kinds of hardships and life-and-death situations together, before finally being happy together. She had fallen in love with him. How could this be?
How could they accept this cruel fate?
Her heart felt crushed and the pain swept through her body. Victoria did not dare
to imagine his reaction if he found out about this.
If he treated her like he did with Selena Duff, ignoring her and kicking her out of
their house... She really didn't know whether she could endure such a huge change.
She dared not think about it!
Overnight, her parents, her husband and the life as she knew shattered into pieces. All the happiness had disappeared so she no longer had anything left. If she broke up with Trevor Clements, she would also lose her only friend, Alicia Blanchard! She lost everything!
"It's possible!"
Victoria's eyes lit up. The next second, the nurse's words shattered her imagination.
"DNA is the most accurate test for parentchild relationship. Outside of that, it would just be a probability! Simply put, the higher the percentage, the closer their biological relationship but it did not mean that they would have a parent- child relationship. Among strangers, it is not impossible for a high matched DNA percentage. However, DNA tests cannot accurately pinpoint the type of relationship. It can only tell us that they are closely related so if it is not a parentchild relationship, it is hard for us to tell you the exact form of relationship. It is unusual but not impossible for two strangers to have a high genetic match, for example, siblings who were separated at birth."
After explaining, the nurse was not sure whether she understood it or not. Seeing
that she seemed distracted, she thought for a moment and explained,
"I've met a couple before. Each time the wife got pregnant, she either miscarried
or the fetus died in her womb. Multiple examinations showed no problems in both
of
them. They were a loving couple so they were stressed from what was happening Later, a doctor advised them to have a DNA test. As a result,
their DNA was very similar. Maybe they were not related to eachother,
but their genetic similarity other,
determined that their children would be abnormal or would die in the womb. Therefore, they were not suitable for each other. Later, they got a divorce and married other people! Their situation was unique but not impossible. It was fine if they did not want to have children but if they do,
then..."
She shrugged her shoulders. Her meaning was self-explanatory.
No matter how much love they had for each other, they could not stay together. If they did, they would have to pay the price or regret it down the line.
She had heard of stories in which a normal couple could not conceive when they were together but once they split up, they managed to have children with their
new partners. At this moment, the nurse's explanation stabbed into her heart.
That was right!
She and Trevor could be together, but having children would be the biggest obstacle in their marriage!
Her words pierced into Victoria's heart. They could ignore how the world viewed
them but she could not bear for her children to suffer such a terrible fate. It was not something that could be resolved by money and courage.
When she walked out of the hospital, Victoria's heart sank to the bottom. What
should she do now?
Should she tell him?
She had taken out her mobile phone but felt as though her heart was ripped into pieces. She was overwhelmed with sorrow. Finally, she put down her hand again. If he knew, he would definitely be as upset as her!
It was better to conceal this kind of truth. It was better that she suffered alone.
In the car, looking at the report with the hospital logo on it, Victoria was so numb
that she couldn't even feel anything. She opened the glove box, folded the report and hid it under other things. She suddenly thought of something and she took out two small plastic bags containing hers and Trevor's hair. Originally, she had backups just in case it was not enough test materials. At this moment, she had another idea:
No, she had to go somewhere else to test it again!
She refused to accept it!
One place may be wrong. The chances of the same mistake happening in two
places are little. Anyway, her situation could not worsen!
What do you think?
