Chapter 452 Paternity Test


    The waiting game was always the hardest.


    Ethan sat with J in one of the corridors of the hospital.


    It was mid-January by then and still a bit cold. Johanna wore a dark green maxi dress with a white


    cashmere coat on top. Her eyes kept darting between J and the man next to her as they


    waited.


    Brandon Larson.


    She had seen his face in their wedding photos on the news, but she didn''t like him very much.


    Brandon was indeed a handsome man, but Johanna didn''t think that was a good thing. Rich, good-


    looking men more often than not turned out to be yboys.


    And Brandon was rich, handsome, and sessful. He had to be a scheming person, right?


    On the other hand, J was a kind and lovely girl. She could easily have been yed by Brandon.


    But now that she, Johanna, was here for J, she would never let Brandon bully J.


    Ethan could sense the hostility in Johanna''s eyes whenever she looked at him, but considering how


    she might be his mother-inw, he could only politely nod to her.


    Whenever their eyes met, it was hard to tell which one of them was the dominant one.


    Soon, a man with sses and in his mid-fifties arrived. He looked like a well-read gentleman.


    "Jo, I''m sorry I''mte. Traffic was so heavy on the way here." The man wiped the sweat on his


    forehead and apologized sincerely.


    He wasn''t that handsome. In fact, he looked pretty in. But his eyes were bright and had a certain


    look of wisdom to them.


    Johanna''s eyes flitted to the man. Although she was scolding him, her eyes were gentle. "How


    could you bete for something as important as this? I''ll deal with you when we get home!"

    "I''m really sorry, Jo. I swear to God that I left early! Can you not punish me today? You just


    punished me recently..." The man tugged at the corner of Johanna''s clothes like a little kid.


    Obviously, Beal White, a business whiz in Barnes, was a hen-pecked husband.


    The second J saw him, she instantly recognized his eyes—because they looked exactly like


    hers.


    While Beal was trying to butter Johanna up, he noticed J''s intent gaze.


    At a nce, he felt that J had the exact same temperament as Johanna''s. And he had also


    noticed J''s eyes.


    He rubbed his hands excitedly and walked up to the girl. "You must be J, am I right? Nice to


    finally meet you."


    "Nice to meet you too, Mr. White." For some reason, J suddenly grew nervous. Ethan had just


    managed to calm her down, but now, she couldn''t help but want to cry again.


    "You look a lot like Jo when she was young. How old are you? You should''ve graduated from


    college by now, right? Where did you study? Do you have a job now? Do you want to work in


    Barnes?" Beal was so excited that he kept firing questions at her, one after another.


    Seeing the way Brandon''s arm was tightly wrapped around J''s shoulder, there was a flicker of


    annoyance in Beal''s eyes. "Mr. Larson, do you mind giving us some space?"


    Beal had no clue what J saw in her husband.


    Ethan was a little stunned, but he obliged and walked away to give the two a chance to talk.


    Seeing that J looked a bit flustered hearing all these questions, Johanna patted Beal''s shoulder.


    "Give our daughter some time to think before you ask more questions!"


    Beal scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "Okay, okay. We can talkter. Let''s do


    the paternity test first."


    Ethan and Johanna had decided prior to do the paternity test at Frank''s hospital.


    And to err on the side of caution, Johanna had also sent another blood sample to their own hospital


    in Barnes.


    After the paternity test was done, the Whites asked Frank nervously, "When will the resultse


    out?"


    Frank took off his mask and said calmly, "Today." "Oh, my God! That''s great!" Johanna eximed,


    holding Beal''s hand excitedly. "I don''t want to go home ande backter for this. Let''s just wait


    here."


    Of course, the obedient Beal agreed.


    "We should wait as well." Ethan knew that his wife was feeling extremely anxious now. She wasn''t a


    talkative person to begin with, and she usually fellpletely silent in important situations like this.


    "Okay," J said softly, her hands trembling slightly.


    It wasn''t untilte afternoon when Frank approached them with the report.


    "The results are ready. Please follow me to my office."
