Chapter 1039


    She scoffed, standing up, her tone turning frosty.


    "Let''s discuss this after the DNA test results."


    ra immediately reached out, gripping her hand.


    "Maja, you''re not going to reject us because we''re poor, are you? It wasn''t us who abandoned you, and


    you were actually stolen. Your dad and I were devastated."


    Maja shook her hand off, her eyes ice-cold.


    "As I said, let''s wait for the results."


    At this, ra red up, but she still held her tongue.


    "At least give us your phone number so we can find you when the results are out."


    But Maja was already heading towards the elevator, clearly not wanting to waste her breath on them.


    ra, however, was persistent.


    "Maja, didn''t you hear what your mother said?"


    Maja halted in her tracks, the re she directed at them sharp as knives.


    "I don''t care who you are or who sent you, and I don''t have time to waste with you. We''ll talk after the


    DNA test."


    ra paled, standing frozen on the spot.


    Maja headed towards the elevator again, this time unimpeded.


    Once she left, Drew sighed heavily.


    "You shouldn''t have said that. We''ve just found our daughter, and you should have said something


    nicer. Who wouldn''t realize you''re after her money with what you just said? Do you expect her to smile


    at that?"


    "Drew, then what do you suggest we do? She is our daughter. The DNA test confirmed it. It''s not like


    the hospital could''ve messed up. I think she just doesn''t want to acknowledge us because we''re poor."


    "Whether she acknowledges us or not, the blood ties are there. We need her help and money to save


    our son. Don’t make your intentions too obvious from the start. Let''s stay in Greenfield and try to work


    things out with her slowly."


    Back in the elevator, Maja''s expression darkened.


    She called the person she had sent with her hair sample earlier.


    "Keep a close eye on things over there. Try to get Dr. Phelps from the hospital to oversee the results.


    I''m worried someone might y dirty."


    "Understood, Ms. Pennyfeather. You can rest assured."


    The one replying was Maja''s bodyguard from Rosewood Manor, who she had stationed on the first


    floor of herpany to prevent any disturbances.


    The bodyguard had handed over the hair sample to Dr. Phelps and exined the situation.


    Dr. Phelps recalled the couple that hade for a DNA test a few days ago, but that test had been


    conducted by another doctor, a veteran from the hospital, so there was no chance of an error.


    "Dr. Herrington, Ms. Pennyfeather requests that you personally oversee this."


    Dr. Phelps nodded. As he was acquainted with Maja, he agreed to prioritize her case.


    Maja was restless throughout the day at the office.


    Ever since Dr. Phelps had mentioned her origins, she had been on edge, and her nervousness was


    now intensifying.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Three hourster, she called her bodyguard.


    "Are the results out yet?"


    "Ms. Pennyfeather, they just came out. Dr. Herrington handed them to me."


    "Did he say anything?"


    "No."


    A wave of apprehension washed over Maja.


    She immediately had the bodyguard bring over the DNA test results. Upon opening them, they showed


    a positive match for a familial rtionship.


    So, Drew was her biological father?


    She called Dr. Phelps.


    "Dr. Herrington, regarding my DNA test, did it take ce under your direct supervision?"


    Dr. Phelps nodded, rubbing his forehead.


    "I personally oversaw this one."


    Maja''s heart sank. Dr. Phelps offered an exnation.


    "Over the years, there have been many cases of lost children, so the testing center is always busy.


    Orphans whoe in for testing are usuallypared with parents who have reported missing


    children. Over the past twenty years, the hospital has helped reunite over a hundred lost children with


    their families. It''s a well-established process, and it''s one of the reasons why I chose to work at this


    hospital."


    Because he could ess these DNA test records.


    Maja remained silent on the other end, but Dr. Phelps added,


    "Finding your parents is a good thing."


    Dr. Phelps was a doctor, but he wasn''t particrly empathetic, so he couldn’t understand how Maja


    was feeling over the phone.


    "Maja, congrattions on finding your family."


    Maja forced a smile, at a loss for words.


    After hanging up, the receptionist came up to report that the couple from this morning had returned.


    Reluctantly, Maja went down to see them.


    ra and Drew obviously already knew about the DNA test results. It seemed the hospital had


    informed them again.


    With a beaming smile, ra stepped forward, gripping Maja''s hand.


    "Maja, you''ve seen the DNA test results too, haven''t you? We wouldn''t lie to you, and the hospital is


    very reliable. They''ve helped many families. I''m really happy to see my daughter has grown up so well


    and be a CEO. Could you help with your brother''s case? He was falsely used back then."


    Drew also chimed in, "Maja, your mom and I are strangers here. If the hospital hadn''t suddenly


    contacted us, we would''ve given up."


    Drew was more tactful than ra. ra was tantly asking for money, but he was mentioning being


    strangers in a strangend, hinting that Maja should amodate them, find them a ce to stay, or


    even let them live in the mansion with her.
