Two minutes later, seeing that Timothy had already âfallen asleep,â Alana got up and returned to her room.
Timothy opened his palm and looked at the strand of hair he held. He quickly got up and ran down the stairs.
âGranny!â Rosaline was sitting on the sofa in the living room. She saw Timothy running toward her.
Has he already gotten it?
Rosaline went up to him and carried him in her arms.
âMy dear grandson! Do you have what I told you to get for me?â
âThis is it!â Timothy opened his palm and showed the strand of hair to Rosaline.
âThatâs great! I can finally confirm that!â Rosaline said happily.
âWhat is it?â Timothy asked.
âThis is a secret between you and me, Timothy. You canât tell anyone else!â Rosaline said and plucked a hair from Timothyâs scalp.
Timothy grimaced from the pain. He did not complain because his grandmother told him it was a secret.
The next day, Rosaline placed the two strands of hair in an envelope and went to Rykerâs Hospital to look for Cristopher Reid, the head of the biology department.
âIs there something you need, Maâam?â Cristopher asked curiously.
âI want to know if Alana Lane is really the mother of my grandson,â Rosaline said. âConduct a maternity DNA test for me!â
Cristopher gasped but recovered in a split second. He said with a smile, âThat can be arranged. Iâll let you know when you can collect the report.â
âMm.â Rosaline nodded. âDonât tell anyone else about this.â
âDonât worry, Maâam.â Cristopher nodded and bowed.
After Rosaline left, Cristopher sent a message to Alana.
âI saved you again, Alana. How are you going to thank me this time?â
Alana was in the beauty salon when she received the message. She was shocked after she read it, and she quickly replied, âWhat do you mean?â
âWeâll talk when I see you. Letâs meet at Blue Skies Café.â
Alana could sense that something was amiss. She urged the beautician to wash her face quickly, then took her sports car to Blue Skies Café.
Blue Skies Cage was located opposite Rykerâs Hospital. Cristopher was already waiting for her in the private room.
âRosaline Turner brought me two strands of hair today,â Cristopher said with a cloying smile on his corpulent face. âWhat do you think she wants to do?â
Alanaâs heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she remembered that Timothy plucked a strand of hair from her scalp last night.
âWhat⦠does she want?â
âShe wants to know if youâre the biological mother of Timothy Ryker!â
Alanaâs face turned pale. She felt a chill course down her spine.
Is Rosaline suspecting me?
âDonât worry.â Cristopherâs meaty hand was already fondling Alana. âYou know what I can do for you.â
âYou have to help me, Cris.â Alana leaned close to Cristopher. âYou canât let Rosaline know the truth!â
âOf course. Why else would I call you over?â Cristopher said smugly.
âHow should I thank you?â Alana allowed Cristopherâs hands to travel brazenly around her body.
âYou should come to my house and spend the night more often,â Cristopher said. âMy wife is on a business trip again.â
âOkay then.â Alana did not complain when Cristopher pressed his oily face against her cheek. âAs long as you write in the report that Iâm undoubtedly Timothy Rykerâs mother!â
âYou donât have to worry about that, Alana.â Cristopher grinned like a pervert as he fondled Alanaâs bosom. âAll you have to do is satisfy me!â
âOh, Cris!â Alana fell onto his chest. âIâll definitely look for you after the report is doneâ¦â
âGood girl.â Cristopher gently kissed Alanaâs cheek and left the room.
Alanaâs expression instantly sank. She considered her options for a while before calling Adam.
Adam only answered the call after several rings. He said lazily, âWhy are you calling me again? I told you Iâm not interested in you!â
âAdam!â Alana said coyly. âYou say youâre not interested, but you looked like you had a lot of fun that night!â.
âHeheh. You should know I want to get rid of that wretched child in your womb!â
