Chapter 143

Hackett carried Ruby downstairs, and compared to when he first picked her up, he was a bit more proficient now as the saying said, “Practice makes perfect.”

He gently placed Ruby on the couch and patiently said goodbye to her. “Bye–bye, young lady.”

Joy thought her son was acting a bit strange. He had just returned home for a short while, and now he wanted to go out again. Wouldn’t this leave a bad impression in front of Juana? She glared at her son and said, “Didn’t you say you would not go to the company? Why are you going out again? Just stay at home if there’s nothing to do.”

Hackett slightly tugged the corner of his lips and started to lie. “Mom, I was not planning to go out, but Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roberts wanted to see me for something important, so I have to go for a while.”

Originally, he planned to ask Frank about the child’s biological mother, but he turned out to be too clever. He did not need to exert any effort or resources to solve the case. It also saved him from Frank’s teasing.

When Joy heard that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roberts wanted to see her son, she did not stop him. Both of them were not people who would mess around. “Go ahead.”

At a private hospital.

Hackett handed the samples to his friend and straightforwardly said, “Do a paternity test for me to determine the relationship.”

He came to a private hospital to avoid Natalie and Sherri, just in case he ran into them. He still had some tricks up his sleeve.

The man in the white coat had a straight nose and wore a pair of gold–rimmed glasses, giving off an elegant vibe. The lenses were thick enough to hide his emotions. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes upon hearing Hackett’s request.

Chris Yamin smiled and took one hand to receive the samples while the other remained in his pocket. He glanced at the samples and looked meaningfully at Hackett. “Could it be your illegitimate child?”

Hackett was a little annoyed by the direct hit of his mind. “Enough with the nonsense. Someone asked me to do it. If you don’t want to, I’ll ask somebody else.”

Chris continued to smile mischievously. Then why did you come to my private hospital? Why not go to Athana Hospital? Tell me, is it for the paternity test?”

Hackett remained silent. After being a doctor for so many years, he understood things well enough. He decided not to continue teasing. “Fine, I’ll wait. It’ll take three hours. Go to my office and have a cup of coffee.”

After speaking, he turned and entered his private research room.

Otherwise, why would he be so surprised? “With this overwhelming reaction, are you unable to accept that the child is your own, or are you just trying to find an excuse for yourself?
