Chapter 618

Heather King felt her head spinning, and soon, her vision of Harveyblurred.

Harvey became dazed as well and started to wobble, and he quicklyreturned to the couch, shaking his head firmly to clear his head.

"Are you feeling dizzy? Me too..." Heather mumbled.

The child in her arms had turned quiet as well, even though he wascrying just a moment ago.

Harvey understood Irene's anger just then-she was a doctor and had asharp smell.

She must have noticed that something was wrong before they did.

He then turned toward the scented candle on the table.

A steward had given it to them, saying that it would help with sleeping,and Harvey took it without hesitation.

That must be it!

He got up and tried to snuff it out, but dropped to the floor before hecould reach it.

Heather then fainted as well!

On the other hand, Irene ran into James Cross in the corridor once shegot out.

What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mr. Jefferson told me to get blood and hair samples from Harvey'sbaby," James replied.

Realizing with a start, Irene said, "So you're the one who druggedthem?"

James nodded. "They should be out by now."

“I'm coming with you," Irene said.

James had already gotten his hands on the backup card to Harvey'sroom and they easily got in.

Inside, they found the man himself on the floor.

Since the drug could easily knock out adults, it would be harmful toinfants in large doses.

As such, Irene quickly hurried to pick up the baby from Heather's arms,and got out so that the baby could breath in fresh air.

James was still inside and he snuffed out the candle that he used toincapacitate everyone in the room, then kicked Harvey after he did.“It's like you can't stop messing around, can you?"

"What are you going to do with them?" Irene asked.

“I'm tying him up, just to be safe.”

James had actually prepared a rope for the occasion. He quickly tiedup Harvey and gagged him as well, before doing the same to Heather.With that done, he left, closing the door behind him.

As they left the hotel, James asked, "Where do we go now?"

"What time is it?" Irene asked.

"3 PM."

Since it was still early, Irene said, "Hotmesh Research.”

"Okay," James said.

Irene sat at the back with the baby in her arms, and they soon arrived.She did not do the paternity test immediately, however, and insteadexamined the baby, making sure that he was healthy before she tookblood samples.

James waited outside and called Isaac to tell him that she was doing it."Where?" Isaac asked.

"Hotmesh Research.”

Isaac hung up at that and soon arrived as well.

James went out to meet him as he hurried inside, and though heappeared calm, there was an urgency in his voice, “Is it done?"

“Not yet," James replied-Irene never left the lab.

As such, they could only wait... but time seemed to stretch on whilewaiting.

Still, it did take quite long-it was not after two hours that Irene finallycame out.

Isaac hurried to her side. "How did it go?"

Irene looked up at him, her eyes welling with tears and her bodyshuddering -her fingers were cold too.

She did the paternity test twice, but the result was the same both times!But she took the blood samples herself and personally ran theequipment. There was no mistake.

"Isaac..." she rasped.
