Liora said to Jonathan , “ Hit me , scold me , do whatever you and your mother want , I can take it . But Sanford is your half – brother , after all . He knew nothing about any of this before . Please , just let him go . ”
Irene bellowed , “ Shut up . How dare you claim your son is my son’s brother ? He’s not my biological child . I refuse to acknowledge him . ”
Liora choked out , tears streaming down her face , “ I’m sorry , Irene . I’m so , so sorry .”
Irene screamed , “ What good is ‘ sorry ‘ ? Liora , you deserve to burn in hell . ”
No woman could ever accept another woman bearing her husband’s child . And now that child was already a thirty – year – old man .
Irene was shaking with rage , her fingers trembling uncontrollably . The next instant , overwhelmed by emotion , she collapsed into a dead fair.t.
Jonathan caught Irene just in time . He immediately arranged for a hospital room , had her admitted , and called Donald .
Donald was arranging hotel accommodations when the call came . He immediately rushed over to tend to Irene .
Jonathan’s immediate priority was to conduct a DNA test .
Yorick passed away many years ago . If he were still alive , comparing Sanford’s hair sample with his would prove whether Sanford was truly his son .
Now , the only way to establish Sanford’s biological connection to the Lynn family was through a hair sample from Hayden .
Sanford yanked out a strand of his hair and handed it to Jonathan . He said , “ No need for that . I’ve already had one done . ”
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed slightly . He asked , “ What did you just say ? ”
Sanford corrected himself . He said , “ I mean , I’m certain about who my real father is . ”
Jonathan said no more . He supervised the entire DNA testing process .
After two hours of expedited testing , the results finally arrived . The Y chromosome analysis showed identical DNA sequences .
This only proved that Sanford was descended from a male member of the Lynn family , confirming he carried the Lynn bloodline , but it couldn’t definitively establish who his father was .
Jonathan remained expressionless as he turned to the testing doctor and asked , “ What if we run the test using hair samples from brothers ? Would that confirm they’re full siblings ? ”
The doctor explained , “ For full biological brothers , those who share both parents , we can determine their relationship with high accuracy .
“ But in cases of cousins or half – brothers , the results become much less conclusive . ”
Jonathan frowned slightly . He pondered , ‘ The DNA test confirms that Sanford indeed has the Lynn family bloodline . But does that make him my half- brother ? ‘ He couldn’t shake the feeling that something just didn’t add up .
Just then , Jonathan’s phone rang .
Back in Nareigh , Hayden had been anxiously following every development of the situation here .
Jonathan said , “ Liora was the homewrecker who came between my parents ‘ marriage . She has no moral high ground . ”
Hayden demanded , “ That’s not what I want to know . Is Sanford your father’s child or not ? ”
Jonathan fell silent for a few seconds , his gaze fixed on the test report in his hands . “ We can’t be certain yet , ” he said .

“ Didn’t I give you my hair sample ? Why haven’t you run the test yet ? ” Hayden demanded impatiently .
“ The results aren’t in yet , ” Jonathan replied calmly , then hung up .
Irene came to and immediately searched for Jonathan . As soon as he approached , she anxiously asked , “ Jonathan , what are the results ? ”
Jonathan handed the DNA test results to Irene .

Irene refused to believe it , or rather , she simply couldn’t bring herself to accept the truth . She gasped , “ No. That’s impossible . There’s no way Sanford is Yorick’s child . ”
Jonathan fixed her with a searching look and asked , “ Is there something you’re still keeping from me ? ”
Irene lowered her head and said , “ There’s nothing else . It’s that simple . I was the rightful wife , and Liora was the homewrecker who came between Yorick
and me . ”
