Chapter 562 We Can Recognize Our Daddy
Patience pays off! I finally found it!
Harvey knew he couldnât stay there much longer.
Carefully, he placed that strand of hair inside a sealed bag and safely stashed it in his pocket before making his way downstairs.
He summoned his siblings while the adults were busy searching for the necklace.
âDid you find it, Harvey?â Penny inquired eagerly upon seeing him.
With a shushing motion, Harvey nodded in confirmation.
Sammy was ecstatic, but he managed to contain his excitement.
The three of them feigned searching for an additional couple of minutes. Then they decided to stick to their original exit strategy.
âMr. Butler, I just remembered! I mightâve left it near Mommyâs bedside the other day!â Penny said, feigning an apologetic expression and sticking out her tongue in embarrassment.
âWeâre really sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for helping us,â she added apologetically.
Richard didnât seem to mind. He smiled and patted her head, saying, âItâs fine as long as you find it.
Next time, keep in mind not to leave things lying around.
âYes, Iâll remember. Thank you, Mr. Butler!â
Penny obediently nodded and waved him goodbye.
The triplets sprinted home in a hurry..
Auntie Zuniga hadnât seen them in the yard earlier. She asked curiously, âWhere did you go?â
The triplets sprinted upstairs like wind before she could finish her question.
âWe were just hanging out.â
It was unclear who responded, but the voice came from the stairwell corner.
Once inside their room, they immediately messaged Isabella.
Isabella was astounded by their effectiveness. As per their agreement, she replied, âOkay, Iâll drop by and get it tonight.â
By evening, Neera had arrived home around the same time Isabella did.
When Isabella saw her. She eagerly asked, âHow was it? It was a nice hotel, wasnât it? Did you two have fun? Did you enjoy it?â
Neera grinned in response, saying, âIt was great. The sea and the hot springs were both wonderful.â
âYou all had a good time, but I didnât even get to see the sea,â Isabella grumbled while puffing out her cheeks.
âThere were staffing issues at the hospital and complications with a seriously ill patient. I had to go back to help. Itâs such a shameâ¦â
She was as talented as the triplets when it came to acting. She appeared sincere in her regret at missing the
chance.
Any remaining doubt disappeared in Neeraâs mind when she saw this. She bought it completely.
âWhy are you acting like a child? Would you like me to entice you? Next time, we can travel together; it will be my treat.â
Isabella was pleased with her response. She said, âCool, itâs a promise!â
She left shortly after dinner, mentioning that she had to go back to the hospital.
The triplets jumped to their feet, racing to see her off.
While Neera wasnât looking, Harvey slipped Isabella the little sealed bag. There was an urgency in his voice as he pleaded, âGodmother, itâs up to you now.â
Isabella grabbed the bag and whispered, âDonât worry. In no more than two days, we should have the results.â
The two exchanged looks like a spy.
Intrigued, Neera asked, âWhat are you all doing? Whatâs the deal with all the secrecy?â
In an instant, Harvey straightened up, looking innocent. In response to her concern, he shrugged and said, âNothing much; I just remind her to drive carefully.â
The other two chimed in, âYes, yes, godmother, you should leave now. Itâll be dangerous for you to drive if it gets any later.â
âGodmother, no matter how busy you are, donât forget to give us a call. Weâll miss you!â
The children then escorted Isabella to her car. She chuckled as she understood their underlying message.
That night, the triplets were filled with anticipation, excitement, and anxiety. They had trouble falling asleep. They prayed that Uncle Jean would turn out to be their biological father.
All of this was unknown to Neera. She was completely immersed in her new research project for the next two days.
The triplets, on the other hand, were restless and disinterested in everything.
Finally, two days had passed.

That afternoon, having waited impatiently, Harvey couldnât hold back any longer and called Isabella.
The boy asked, âGodmother, are the results out?â
Isabella responded, âThey should be. Iâll go get them now.â
The triplets grew more excited. They were adamant about going to the hospital to collect the results
themselves.
Isabella consented because she knew she couldnât change their mind.
âWait here, while I get the results,â she instructed softly as she made her way to the doctorâs office.
The triplets nodded.
They looked solemn, but their hearts were racing on the inside.
Isabella returned with a file in less than thirty seconds.
She, too, was eager to learn the outcome. She didnât go back to her office but opened the file right away.
Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the result, indicating the possibility of a parent-child relationship.
Nervously, the triplets held their breath and asked, âGodmother, donât scare us. Whatâs the result?â
She gave the kids a blank stare. She then took a deep breath and took some time to gather herself.
âJean⦠is your biological father!â she exclaimed, trying to hold back her surprise. âYour chances of having a parent-child are 99.9%!â
The triplets jumped up and down, cheering and shouting.
âThatâs fantastic! I knew it! We didnât get it wrong!â
