Chapter 130
Donald said , “ Okay , got it . ”
Seeing Jonathan looking quite serious , Donald didn’t dare to ask further questions and glanced again at the transparent bag on his desk .
Before leaving , Jonathan was still a bit uneasy , so he turned back and looked at
Donald . “ How reliable are the DNA tests at your hospital ? ”
Donald smiled confidently . “ Don’t worry . Our hospital has the most advanced equipment . ”
Jonathan nodded . “ What I mean is , I’m not sure about the doctor’s integrity . ”
Donald sighed . “ If you don’t trust me , I’ll do the test for you and have my colleague do another . Two tests should be enough , right ? ”
Jonathan pressed his lips together , was silent for a few seconds , and said , “ No. One will be enough . ” Then , he turned and walked away . As he left , his figure disappeared at the end of the hallway and from Jennifer’s view .
Then , Jennifer knocked on Donald’s door . “ Are you busy ? The department head wants to see you ,” she said .
Donald looked up with a bit of a sparkle in his eyes . “ Wow , you actually came to tell me in person . I’m flattered . ”
Jennifer glanced at the two strands of hair on the desk before casually saying , “ I saw your friend was here earlier , so I didn’t come in .”
He stated , “ He’s not a friend . That’s my cousin , the CEO of Horizonlead Group , the one I mentioned before .”
“ Oh , really ? ” Jennifer replied . “ You’d better get going then . ”
“ I’ll go see the department head now , ” Donald said as he took off his coat and left the office .
Jennifer folded her arms and leaned against the office door . After Donald left , her gaze returned to the clear bag on the desk . Her fingers , hanging by her side, squeezed slightly .
Jonathan was really absent – minded today , as he zoned out several times during the meeting . ‘ What if that kid really is my son ? Although it seems unlikely , what if it is ? ‘ he thought .
Successfully unlocked !
If it really were his son , he would book a five star hotel in Nareigh to celebrate with fireworks and have an excuse to meet Teresa and confront her .
As unlikely as it seemed , there was still a lingering sense of faint hope in his heart .

It was New Year’s Eve , and Jonathan’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing . Irene kept calling him , reminding him to come home for dinner . It was New Year’s Eve dinner , so he must join .
“Simona is also coming over for dinner , so make sure you come back early , ” she said .
Jonathan was speechless . His voice instantly turned irritated . “ Is she even family ? What were you thinking when you invited her for New Year’s Eve dinner ? ”
Irene said , “ She wants to apologize to you ! I heard she tried to take care of you when you were drunk , but you thought she broke into your house , which led to the misunderstanding . ”
Jonathan exclaimed , “ There’s no misunderstanding between us and definitely no feelings . She followed me home . Isn’t that scary to you ? And you’re still sticking up for
her ? ”
Irene was unfazed and replied , “ She’s just a girl . Even if she followed you home , you’re a grown man . How could you possibly be at a disadvantage ? If anyone got the short end of the stick here , it’d be her ! ”
Jonathan disagreed with Irene , saying , “ If I ever have a son , I’ll teach him to lock the door behind him when he gets home so he won’t get into any trouble ! ”
Irene snapped immediately , “ Do you even have a son ? ”
Jonathan remained silent and thought , ‘ Not yet ! I’m still waiting for Donald to bring me
the test results . ‘
He added , “ I’ll definitely be home for New Year’s Eve dinner , but if Simona shows up , I won’t go . If you think I’m wrong , I’ll call Grandpa now . ”
“ You- ” Irene gave in . “ Fine . I won’t ask her to come . She can visit on January 3rd . Is that okay ? ”
However , Jonathan had already hung up .
Once again , Irene was infuriated by the stubborn Jonathan .
After a short while , Donald came to find Jonathan . He was supposed to deliver something from Luviston Estates , but no one was there because Jonathan hadn’t left work yet .
Jonathan told Donald to take the elevator up to the CEO’s office . The latter entered with a report .
“ Take a seat .” Jonathan møtioned to his secretary to pour Donald some coffee .
Donald handed over the report , and Jonathan took it . He asked , “ Jonathan , are you going home for the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight ? ”
“ Yes. Aren’t you going ? ” Jonathan asked .
“ I’ll be late as I need to return to the hospital for some work , ” Donald mumbled awkwardly .

“ Working overtime on New Year’s Eve ? ” Jonathan chuckled faintly . “ Do you have a girlfriend ? You’re spending time with her ? ”
The remark struck a chord with Donald . He clenched his fist and coughed lightly . “ Not my girlfriend yet . ”
“ Oh ? Well , you better hurry then , ” Jonathan said .
“ Got it . I’ll try my best to win her over . ” Donald smiled faintly .
Jonathan always found Donald quite reliable . His calm demeanor reassured Jonathan enough to let him handle the test reports . Firstly , Donald was diligent and responsible . Secondly , he wasn’t someone who spread rumors around .
Jonathan chatted with Donald a while longer before the latter left .
Finally , Jonathan’s gaze landed on the test report . The sealed report , bound by a white string at the opening , was like Pandora’s box . He stared at it for about five minutes before slowly picking it up and opening it .
