Chapter 683


    Marietta felt a rush of emotions when she first saw Yvonne, but the feelings vanished rather quickly.


    She thought it was strange. She had anticipated more excitement when meeting her long. -lost


    daughter. But as Yvonne walked toward her…


    Instead of sensing a familiar feeling with Yvonne, Marietta was growing increasingly resistant to the


    idea that she was her daughter.


    With a hand on her chest, Marietta told herself that she was feeling that way simply because she


    wasn’tpletely certain if Yvonne was her daughter yet.


    “Dad, Mom, why did you call me here?” Yvonne wasn’t aware of Marietta. She was focused on reading


    thebel “Laboratory” on the door behind her parents.


    “Are you feeling sick?” Yvonne asked worriedly.


    “No” Aiden patted her on the shoulder. He exined, “Ms. Weiss here ims that you are her daughter.


    She wouldn’t be convinced otherwise.”


    “We wanted you to take a test.” He continued, “Are you okay with this?”


    Only after hearing his words did Yvonne realize that Marietta was with them. She smiled brightly. After


    all, Marietta was a famous scriptwriter.


    “Ms. Weiss, I’m really not your daughter,” she responded. “But if you insist on taking the test, I’m fine


    with it.”


    Marietta smiled at Yvonne, who seemed like a dutiful daughter to Aiden and his wife. “Thank you for


    your understanding. Let’s begin, shall we?”


    Aiden stepped aside from the door of theboratory. “Please,” he said.


    “Hold on,” Marietta said abruptly. “Yvonne and I have taken a test before, so it isn’t necessary. How


    about you and your wife take the test, Mr. Hackett? We’ll know for certain then.


    Aiden pondered it for a moment. What she said was reasonable, so he agreed, “Alright. We’ll head in


    first then. Please wait for us here.”


    “Okay.


    Marietta took a step backward and felt her heart race at the uncertainty of it all. When she saw- how


    confident and determined the Hackett couple looked, a seed of doubt grew in her heart. She second–


    guessed herself,


    The present technology for DNA testing was highly developed. There should be no reason for anything


    to go wrong

    Once in theboratory, Yvonne finally got the chance to ask her parents about the incident. “Dad,


    Mom, when did Marietta and I take a DNA test? Why am I not aware of it?”


    Aiden and his wife nced at each other. Aiden said, “She must’ve gotten her hands on a hair


    sample of yours. Something like this is easy to aplish. All she had to do was hire a private


    detective.”


    “Oh my! This is terrifying!” eximed Yvonne. “Thank goodness I’m not her daughter. It’d be horrifying


    to have a mother like her.”


    Yvonne stuck her tongue out exaggeratingly. An amused Mrs. Hackett ruffled her hair in


    response. “You’re a naughty one, aren’t you? Ms. Weiss‘ daughter went missing when she was very


    young.”


    “Perhaps Ms. Weiss was desperate in her search that she came to us.” She added, “We’re your


    parents, so how could we not know that you’re our biological daughter?”


    “Yep,” Yvonne chirped in agreement as she leaned against Mrs. Hackett’s shoulder.


    Time passed as they chatted. Soon, the doctor was done taking their samples.


    “Sir, you’ll have to wait a while for the results,” the doctor informed them.

    “Okay.” Aiden stood up and said, “Let’s wait outside.”


    The three of them left theboratory.


    Marietta saw them and approached with hasty footsteps.


    “It’ll take some time to get the results,” said Mrs. Hackett as she held Marietta’s hand in hers. “I


    understand how anxious you are in searching for your daughter, but Yvonne is ours. You might be


    disappointed.”
