Chapter 191 — Proceeding with the confirmation test.

Dr. Sarah Mitchell's POVIn no time, the door to the lab opened and we both turned.Dr. Chen walked in with his face pale. His tie was loose like he'd been pulling at it."Show me." He said without preamble.I gestured to the computer. "It's all here."Dr. Chen walked over and stared at the screen.His eyes scanned the data, the genetic markers and the probability which was showing 99.99%.He stood there for a long time, just staring.Then he put his hand on the desk. Like he needed to steady himself."I didn't believe him." He said quietly. "He came to my office. Told me about the coincidences. The birthmark. The eyes. The birth date. And I thought he was losing it.” He tends to pause for a while, like he had a quick thought. “So, Mr. Anders was right after all. I mean, I never knew that he was making any sense. No wonder he had insisted on what he wanted. And to think that I kept doubting him all along when he kept trying to prove a point." He said, then paused for a little while an

Chapter 192 — He must be short of words.

Dr. Sarah Mitchell's POVDr. Park and I were at the lab to check the DNA test result.Twenty-four hours had passed and the thermal cycler had beeped at exactly 7:15am, signaling completion.We'd both been there early and waiting.Neither of us had slept much as I think this wasn't just another test. This was confirmation of something that would change lives.I clicked on the computer screen and pulled up the analysis software.Dr. Park stood beside me with his arms crossed and his face tense.The screen loaded slowly…line by line while the data was filling in.Genetic markers appeared in allele frequencies and then probability calculations.And it happened that the result came out just as envisaged and that means one thing for sure. Which was that Mr. Pius Anders actually fathered Nicole.99.99% probability of paternity.Identical to the first test and down to the decimal point.The markers lined up perfectly…every single one with no discrepancies and no errors either.I exhaled slowl

Chapter 193 — You said what?!!!

Dr. Chen's POVI didn't know how to go ahead and get Mr. Anders to my office with regards to letting him know about the result report, after Dr. Mitchell had left my office.I sat at my desk while staring at the sealed envelope in front of me.And it didn't just feel like I was staring at the results but rather the truth which seemed to feel like the bomb.Although, I believe that it's meant to be like...just call him and give him the result, explaining to him what the report states just like I have always done for our patients.Which is simple, professional and straightforward.I have delivered test results thousands of times over the years. Some came out as good news, bad news and life-changing news.This should be no different.But this very one felt different, maybe for the fact that I was already invested in this case personally and Mr. Pius Anders' actions earlier made me realize how this means to him.The way he'd looked when he'd come to me with his theory. The desperation in

Chapter 194 — I need to call my wife right now.

Mr. Pius Anders' POVOne of the nurses found me in the hallway. Then said to me that Dr. Chen needed to see me in his office.My stomach dropped, maybe this was it…the results were ready as that was the only thing that came to my mind at that point.I followed her without a word, though my legs felt heavy with each step harder than the last.We reached his office and then knocked once."Please, come in." Dr. Chen's voice came from inside.The nurse opened the door and I walked in before she turned and left.Dr. Chen was standing by his desk. He looked tired…more tired than I'd ever seen him.I came straight to his table where he was."You sent the nurse to call me?" I asked.My voice came out steadier than I felt. But underneath, there was hope mixed with fear.‘What if I was wrong? What if all those coincidences meant nothing?’ The thoughts of that kept flashing in my head."Sure, I did. Please, have a seat." He said, gesturing to one of the seats.I sat down slowly and my eyes never

Chapter 195 — I am taking the next flight back to the country.

Mr. Pius Anders' POVRight there at Dr. Chen's office, I called my wife to break the news to her.Dr. Chen had stepped out…more like giving me some privacy as he said, “take my time.”I pulled out my phone, and stared at my wife's contact name for a moment. I was actually wondering, ‘how do you tell someone their entire world is about to flip upside down?’Nevertheless, I pressed the call. It rang twice before she picked up."Pius? How are you?" Her voice was bright and cheerful as she had no idea of the harshest truth that was about to hit her."We need to talk." I said quickly. My voice must have given something away because she immediately went quiet."What happened? Is it Sophia? Is she okay?""Sophia is fine. Physically at least, but there's something I need to tell you.""Okay. You're scaring me with your words, right now. Please, what is it?"I took a breath, knowing fully well that there was no easy way to do this. Like…where and I expected to start to put her through in all o

Chapter 196 — We need to tell them together.

Mr. Pius Anders' POVMy wife arrived at the hospital late that very evening.I was in Dr. Chen's office when I got the text. "I'm here at the hospital that you sent the goggle map to locate. Where are you?"I met her in the lobby. The moment I saw her, everything I'd been holding in threatened to spill over.Although, she looked exhausted and her eyes were red…I guess from crying on the plane. She already sent her a message on her way down to the hospital that she has had tears of joy. Her hair was pulled back messily.But she was here and that's what mattered."Pius." She said my name and started crying again.I pulled her into my arms and held her tight."I'm here now." She whispered. "We'll get through this."We made our way back to Dr. Chen's office. He'd stayed late as he said that he wanted to be available for any questions from my wife or whatsoever.The moment we walked in, my wife's eyes went straight to the desk. Particularly, to the envelope sitting there."Is that it?" She

Chapter 197 — The truth comes out.

Nicole's POVI woke up to voices, though quiet but urgent. My eyes opened slowly and I felt the morning light coming through the window.Two nurses were in my room. One was checking my IV and the other was preparing a wheelchair."What's going on?" I asked. My voice was rough from sleep.Brad stirred in the chair beside me, I guess he'd spent another night here just like he always did since I was admitted in this hospital."Ms. Millers, we're moving you to a different room." One of the nurses said."Why? What's wrong? Is something wrong with this room?""No, nothing's wrong. Dr. Chen requested it."That didn't make enough sense to me though as I'd been in this room for days. So, why move me now?Brad sat up and then rubbed his eyes. "What's happening?""They're moving me.""Where?"The nurses didn't answer but just helped me sit up. Disconnected monitors and prepared me for transport.My ribs still hurt when I moved, shifted or adjusted on my own and my head still throbbed sometimes.

Chapter 198 — This is a setup!

Sophia's POVI watched Nicole cry and saw the way my mother held her. My father stood beside them like they were already a complete family.MY parents. MY own family.This can't be real.It's a trick, a setup or some elaborate plan they'd cooked up.They'd been angry at me for sometime now with regards to the accident. Also, about the rehab that I'd skipped and about everything I'd ever done wrong.And now this? This convenient story about switched babies after birth?"This is bullshit." I blurted out loud.Everyone turned to look at me.My mother pulled back from Nicole and my father's hand dropped from her head.Good! Let them look for all I care."You're lying. This is fake and you made this up."My father's face didn't change, it was calm and controlled just like always when he ‘meant business.’"Sophia, the tests don't lie. We ran them twice."Twice. He kept saying that as if it mattered to me."Then you paid someone to fake them! You've been looking for a reason to get rid of me

Chapter 199 — You would have killed her.

Mr. Pius Anders' POVWe'd barely gotten Nicole out of the room when we heard the crash. It was vividly the sound of glass shattering and I also heard Sophia screaming.Dr. Chen moved first. "Wait here."He went back in and we could hear him trying to talk to Sophia, just to calm her down.But it seemed like it wasn't working.I heard another crash instantly and I sensed that something else was breaking.Elena grabbed my arm. "Pius, we should go back in to see what is happening for ourselves.""No. Give Dr. Chen a minute."But a minute turned into chaos.At that moment, a nurse rushed past us into the room. And then another.Through the small window in the door, I could see Sophia throwing things..the lamp, the phone and I guess anything she could reach.One of the nurses tried to approach her, and tried to calm her but Sophia shoved her away, real hard.The nurse stumbled back and nearly fell.That was enough, so I pushed the door open and walked in."Sophia, stop. Right now."My voic

Chapter 200 — The investigation begins.

Author's POVThe police officers escorted Sophia down the hospital hallway. Her hands were cuffed in front of her and she wasn't saying anything now. She was just walking with her face blank.Detective Morrison led the way while two uniformed officers flanked Sophia on either side.They took her to a private conference room on the first floor. It was a small, windowless room with a table and four chairs.One of the officers uncuffed her and sat her down."Wait here. The detective will be with you shortly."The door closed, then locked from the outside.Sophia sat alone, staring at the wall.Back upstairs, Nicole was being wheeled to her original room. She was shaking and couldn't stop.Brad walked beside her with his hand on her shoulder.Mrs. Anders followed behind. Her face was wet with tears."I should go with her." Mrs. Anders said. "To the police. Sophia needs someone…"Mr. Anders stopped her gently. "Let the police do their job.""But she's scared and she needs her mother.""She
