Chapter 164 The Paternity Test Results

Dakota immediately rolled up her sleeves and nodded. “Of course, I understand. Just help me do anormal blood test.

“By the way, I heard that there might be blood rejection between close relatives. This will be tested,right?”

After helping Dakota draw the blood, the nurse replied, “Yes. Although you and Ms. Garcia aren’trelatives, this is the normal process of drawing blood. We have to do it.”

Dakota was relieved. This was exactly what she wanted, but she still pretended to say casually, “Okay,just follow the process. Be careful. If there are problems like blood rejection after I donate blood to Ms.Garcia, that will be bad.”

The nurse took a small tube of blood and stood up, saying, “Don’t worry. The clinical laboratory will take itseriously.

“I will send the blood over first. Ms. Garcia’s blood sample is in the lab. When the result comes outtomorrow, I will send it to you.”

It was almost time to get off work, and the clinical laboratory would not work at night.

Dakota could not hide her excitement. “Okay, I will wait.”

Ever since she found out that Darlene had an Rh–negative blood type and a heart disease, and she wasas old as her daughter, Dakota could not tell why she could not

calm down.

After thinking about it, Dakota felt that rather than doing nothing, she might as well replace a way to test theblood and get the result. This way, she could be relieved.

She turned around to return to Lucian’s ward, but at that moment, she saw Katrina not

far away.

They looked at each other, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across Katrina’s face. She was anxious toleave but realized that it was too late. She could only come over with a

smile.

“Mom, why did you come to the nurse station? Dad didn’t see you when he woke up, so he asked me tolook for you. I was afraid that you would be lost.”

Dakota had a secret, and she was not sure if Katrina had seen her being drawn blood.

However, it seemed that Katrina had just come over, or perhaps she had not seen it.

Dakota smiled and replied, “Nothing. I could not sit in the ward, so I came out to refresh. myself. Giventhe nurse was here alone, I casually chatted with her.”

Katrina went back to the ward with Dakota. She excused herself to buy some fruit and

left.

Katrina rushed downstairs and finally caught up with the nurse.

She quickly walked up to the nurse and stopped her. “I am Mrs. Swale’s daughter. This is my mother’sblood sample, right? I’m going to the clinical laboratory to get the results. I can take it with me.”

The nurse benefited from Dakota and thus felt a little guilty. She was naturally unwilling to let Katrinadeliver it.

She clenched the tube in her hand. “It’s okay. I have other things to bring over. I will do

it.”

Katrina tried her best to persuade the nurse, but she failed to get the tube of blood. She could only watchthe nurse walk toward the clinical laboratory.

Katrina was so anxious, and her face turned pale. Since the morning, she had noticed that somethingwas wrong with Dakota.

Now, she had overheard what Dakota had said to the nurse at the nurse station. Katrina could easily tellDakota suspected that Darlene was her daughter.

Since Dakota had such doubts, she naturally had evidence. Katrina did not have time to think about it.Most importantly, no matter what the result was, Katrina couldn’t let Dakota replace her daughter.

In particular, if Dakota’s daughter was indeed Darlene, Katrina was almost finished.

Not long ago, Katrina secretly caused Reina to get emotional and paralyzed. If the matter was exposed,and Darlene was found to be the biological daughter of the Swale family, the consequences would beunimaginable.

Katrina clenched her hands. There was no other way, so she could only go upstairs to

replace Sandra.

Avery had just come out of the emergency room, and the situation was not optimistic.

He had been unconscious and was not out of danger.

Sandra was still there with a few elders of the Gallard family. When she was called away by Katrina,Sandra was displeased.

When they reached the end of the corridor, Sandra impatiently shook off Katrina’s

hand.

Sandra said in a very bad tone, “I already said that when there is someone else here, don’t come to me.Are you afraid that others won’t know what I did with you?”

Katrina said anxiously, “Sandra, I really have no choice. My mother suspected that Darlene was herdaughter. She asked the nurse to help her and Darlene do the blood test.

“If it’s fast, the result might be out in a few hours. Sandra, if it is really true, I will be completely finished.”

Sandra looked surprised. “Darlene? The daughter of the Swale family?”

Sandra didn’t expect Dakota to guess like that. Though she had always been paranoid, Sandra hadnever had such a thought.

She looked at Katrina. “Are you sure you didn’t hear it wrong? I guess Dakota just wanted to donateblood to the dying Darlene out of kindness. Don’t scare yourself every

day.”

Katrina said anxiously, “I heard it clearly. It’s true. My mother bribed the nurse and kept confirmingwhether the blood test could be used for the paternity test.

“I’m sure that she was in such a hurry to do the blood test because she wanted to know if Darlene washer daughter. She has never bribed anyone before.”

Katrina anxiously grabbed Sandra’s arm, “Sandra, please help me. I harmed Mrs. Garcia

before, and the matter may not be kept secret forever.

“I think there’s no other way. Why don’t we go to the clinical laboratory and blood back? Just say that thistest is against the rules.”

the

Sandra said in a deep voice, “No, if we get it back, Mrs. Swale will naturally know. This way, she willdoubt Darlene’s identity even more.

“The test can only be done. Let’s go. I will think of a way. Maybe it is just a false alarm.

After all, Dakota had been looking for her daughter for so many years, and there had been no news. Howcould her daughter happen to be Darlene?

They left in a hurry. Not far behind them, Jax walked out of the corner with a gloomy

face.

He whispered, “Vivian, to save you, I have no other choice.”

Sandra and Katrina walked to the clinical laboratory. It was just time for the staff to get off work. Thedoctor packed up his things and locked the door to leave.

Sandra called a man in black over. She asked him to enter the laboratory and took out Darlene’s andDakota’s blood samples.

After that, they immediately left the hospital and went to the Bullock’s house.

The Bullock family had their own doctor and consulting room. Sandra entered the room and threwDakota’s and Darlene’s blood samples to a man in a white coat.

“In the shortest time, I want to get the DNA results of these two blood samples.”

As she spoke, Sandra handed over a check. “17 thousand dollars. Dr. Ford, it’s enough. for your annualsalary. Give me the results tonight.”

Jimmy Ford took the check and blood samples calmly. He then entered a small lab

inside.

Katrina paced back and forth in the room uneasily. Sandra glanced at her and said,

“Don’t be afraid. Darlene is about to die.

“If she is indeed Dakota’s daughter, isn’t it good? As long as you keep it a secret for a period and wait forher to die, no one will replace you to be the daughter of the Swale family.”

Katrina did not say a word. She sat on the chair and looked into the room.

In two hours, Jimmy took out the results. “The probability of the woman in question being the biologicaldaughter is 99.99%. She’s indeed the biological child.”
