Chapter 522
Jennifer’s face was expressionless . “ Why should I care about her ? I just happened to have a prenatal checkup , so I dropped by to see her while ! was at it . ”
Teresa glanced at Jennifer’s barely noticeable baby bump and frowned , “ You’re way too thin . You really need to take better care of yourself and eat more nutritious food , especially now that you’re pregnant . ”
Jennifer’s arms were painfully thin , her whole body weighing only around 100 pounds . The corners of her lips twitched slightly as she said , “ How rare for you to show concern . It’s been ages since we last spoke this civilly . ”
The words were barely out of her mouth when Evelyn , having just finished her MR , emerged from the room . Spotting Jennifer , a flicker of surprise
crossed her face .
“ Actually , she came here specifically to see you , ” Teresa said .
Jennifer turned away . “ Just passing through . Can’t you stop being such a worry to your daughters ? You can’t even take care of yourself . ”
Evelyn , unfazed , smiled warmly , gently taking Jennifer’s hand , then reaching for Teresa’s as well . Evelyn smiled warmly and said , “ Having you both by my side makes me feel truly blessed . ” Jennifer pulled her hand away abruptly .
Back in the hospital room , Michael didn’t say a word . He just threw himself into Teresa’s arms , sobbing so hard that his tears quickly soaked through her shirt . Teresa quickly pulled him close and asked , “ What’s wrong , sweetie ? Did Aunt Isabel pick on you ? ”
Michael shook his head , sniffled , and pointed first at his head , then specifically at his thick hair , his eyes brimming with tears . Teresa gently stroked and checked Michael’s head , her fingers carefully probing . “ What happened to your head , sweetie ? Did you bump into something ? ”
“ That creepy uncle pulled out my hair ,” Michael cried . Teresa froze . Jennifer and Evelyn , standing nearby , were equally at a loss .
Between Michael’s tearful stammering and Isabel’s babbling , Teresa finally figured out what had really happened . Jennifer’s brows furrowed as Teresa’s gaze instantly locked onto her .
“ Sanford just loves stalking people . He must have followed you to the hospital . Now look what’s happened , ” Teresa said .
Jennifer snapped , “ I’m going after him .”
Teresa scoffed . “ He’s probably already at the DNA testing center by now . ”
“ He can’t be that quick . He only got the kid’s hair , not yours . Who’s he gonna compare it with ? ” Jennifer said . With that , she rushed off .
Sanford was still driving when Jennifer called . He wasn’t surprised . As expected , she immediately demanded , “ Are you following me ? ”
“ Jennifer , I told you I’d never hurt you or Teresa , ” Sanford said .
Jennifer snapped , “ Then why did you take a kid’s hair ? Don’t make things worse for me , will you ? ”
Sanford sighed , “ That little boy is Teresa’s child , isn’t he ? Even Isabel admitted it . Why are you still denying it ? ”
“ Isabel ? She’s just a kid . What does she know ? If you insist on believing some snot – nosed brat , then fine , I can’t stop you , ” Jennifer said .
Sanford chuckled at that . “ Jennifer , I know you too well . If this really has nothing to do with Teresa , why are you being so defensive ? You’re telling on yourself . ”
Jennifer fell silent. She said to Sanford , “ That boy’s situation is really complicated . I really shouldn’t have let you come to Nareigh
“ Thanks to you , I got to meet someone special ,” Sanford said .

“ What the hell do you mean ? What exactly are you trying to do ? ” Jennifer demanded when Sanford stayed silent , then cut straight to the point . “ Where
are you ? ”
“ Fine , come find me then . I’m at the entrance of the DNA testing center , ” Sanford said . After hanging up , Sanford pulled into the parking lot and parked
his car .
He carefully placed Michael’s hair in a separate bag and his own in another , preparing for an expedited DNA test .
