“Damn it,” Frederick muttered, dialing the number for The Atlas Private Hospital and setting the call to speakerphone. After two rings, the call was promptly answered.

“Hello, Hematology Department at The Atlas Private Hospital.”

Frederick wordlessly held out the phone towards Marguerite, who quickly took over the conversation, “Hello, Doctor. This is Marguerite. I had my DNA analyzed at your hospital and received a notification that a child’s test results match mine. Is the child still at the hospital?”

Ignoring the chill emanating from Frederick, she pressed on, “How could there have been a mistake? You called Maurice, and he informed me.”

The doctor apologized profusely. “Ms. Lockwood, we’re truly sorry. There was indeed a mix-up, but later we sent a text message to clarify.”
