As soon as Jason asked the question, the
he breathing on the other end of the phone becheavy. Derick hadn’t expected such a question and was caught off guard, betraying his emotions. “Well. It’s not my fault to reveal anything. Who would have thought Jason would bring up old issues out of nowhere after five years?‘ Derick thought.
“Why are you asking this suddenly? Didn’t Sophia say she had an abortion? She even had other pregnancies that year” Derick tried to divert Jason’s attention, but Jason latched onto Derick’s words, gritting his teeth. “Under what circumstances would a paternity test show a 95% match? And don’t tellit’s a mother–child scenario. Sophia couldn’t have gotten pregnant again immediately after the abortion.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell… thought Derick. He finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot, pondering. I should have just answered the first question honestly. Now, there’s no way to hide the truth!
Feeling Derick’s silence, Jason raised his voice. “Speak!”
Derick, now thoroughly honest, mainly because his medical research funding cfrom Jason and he couldn’t bear the outcof provoking Jason and losing it. So he replied, “I suspect Sophia has a twin sister, Tommy is probably her sister’s child. Identical twins share similar genes, so her paternity test with Tommy showed a 95% match.”
Even though Jason wasn’t a medical expert, he understood the basics. This information led him to many conclusions. “I’m certain Claire was pregnant with a single child back then. If Sophia has a twin sister, she isn’t the Taylor family’s daughter”
Derick gasped and exclaimed, “Don’t tellshe’s from the Watsons and Ada pulled a switcheroo to steal her identity”
Jason chuckled bitterly. “It’s likely not the first time. I suspect Timothy isn’t Ada’s biological child either.”
A series of clattering noises cfrom the phone, presumably Derick knocking over a cup. “Damn, that woman’s got sserious skills.”
Jason, not wanting to discuss Ada, said coldly, “Find a way to get Ada’s blood and run a paternity test with Timothy.”
Derick quickly agreed, “Got it. I’ll handle it right away. Anything else.” He thought he could get away with it. But then…
Jason’s mocking chuckle cthrough the phone. “You must be itching for a beating. Do I need to send someone to help you out?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDerick gave in completely and confessed, “The contraceptive I developed is harmless to the mother but can severely affect the fetus, especially in its early stages, leading to developmental issues”

it would really affect the development of the fetus. Jason pondered as he closed his eyes and gripped his phone tightly. So, her murmurs in the nightmare were true. The twin fetuses did have developmental problems. They might have been deformed or stopped developing altogether!
Jason didn’t dare think further as it was too painful, yet he had no one to blame. He was the one who secretly gave Sophia contraceptives for two years and had thrown her to the ground multiple times, causing injury to her abdomen. These actions undoubtedly harmed the fetuses.
“If there were developmental issues, could it cause fetal deformities?” Jason forced himself to ask the heartbreaking question, even though it caused him immense pain. He thought, Sophia has already lived through this five years ago; I have no reason or right to avoid it. We should share the pain. That’s fair to her.
Before Derick could respond, a cold female voice suddenly echoed from behind Jason. “I can answer that question. Why ask someone else?”
Jason’s pupils contracted, and his body began to tremble slightly.
