After Marrying My Boss

Chapter 578

Even though giving their blood was a quick process, the results of the test would only be known three days later. Thus, all we could do now was to wait for the results at home.

Nevertheless, Ronan assured us that he would inform us the moment the results were out.

Right when Michael and I came to the main entrance and planned to leave right away, Leanne called out to him, “Michael.”

Leanne's face was visibly ashen as she looked at him with sorrow in her eyes.

Stopping in his tracks to turn around, Michael plainly asked, ”What else do you want?”

After hearing his response, Leanne gave me a look before continuing, “Michael, I have a question for you. If Melvin is proven to be your child, do you still plan to not acknowledge him? All this while, you never had the intention letting us return to your side, isn't it?”

Staring into Leanne's eyes, Michael fell silent for a while before replying in a serious tone, “If he is truly my son, I'll take responsibility for both of you. However, if it is proven otherwise, I hope that you will stay away from me and never appear in my life again.”

Michael's tone was extremely grave, while his eyes were entirely devoid of emotion.

Upon hearing his words, tears began to streak down Leanne's cheeks as the sadness in her eyes intensified.

“Fine, if Melvin is proven not to be your son, I'll leave with him. However, I can tell you with all certainty

that he is definitely your son, for I have never slept with any other man!”

After letting out an emotional rant, Leanne turned around and stormed off.

Watching her leaving silhouette, Michael furrowed his brows as if he was deep in thought.

I walked up to him from behind and asked in an earnest tone, “Once it's proven that the child isn't yours, will you show her some mercy?”

After regaining his senses, Michael turned to face me and replied in a grim tone, “No! You and our son are the only ones that can make my heart waver.”

I knew how much our relationship meant to him all this while. Therefore, my heart warmed after hearing him make such a declaration.

Even though giving their blood was a quick process, the results of the test would only be known three days later. Thus, all we could do now was to wait for the results at home.

Evan though giving thair blood was a quick procass, tha rasults of tha tast would only ba known thraa days latar. Thus, all wa could do now was to wait for tha rasults at homa.

Navarthalass, Ronan assurad us that ha would inform us tha momant tha rasults wara out.

“All we can do now is wait. Once the results are out three days later, the truth will be laid bare. By then, I believe Leanne will give up on her own accord.”

Even though both of us knew that the child isn't his, the paternity test still felt unsettling.

Now that I was also a mother, I instinctively sympathized with Melvin.

If his birth father didn't turn out to be Michael, he would then have no idea who it was, which would put him in an extremely pitiful situation.

Inside Michael's car, I was initially tempted to ask about what happened on the night of Leanne's twenty-second birthday.

However, I decided against it in the end because it was pointless to dredge up the past.

Three days later, we received a call from Ronan informing us that the result of the paternity test was out.

By the time we arrived at the hospital, Leanne was already there with her son.

When we were all gathered in Ronan's office, I noticed that her hand was slightly trembling. Evidently, she was a bunch of nerves.

In contrast to her, Michael was a sea of calm since he was sure that the child wasn't his.

“Ronan, what is the result? Is Melvin Michael's son or not?”

When I saw how quiet both of them were, I had no choice but to break the silence, for any delay would cause further agony for everyone involved.

After sweeping his gaze across all of us, Ronan finally reported in a solemn tone, “The results of the test show that Melvin and Michael are not related by blood at all. Therefore, Michael is without a doubt not Melvin's father.”

Just as he spoke, Leanne's face turned pale as she staggered back by reflex.

Looking at Ronan in disbelief, her eyes began to redden.

“That's impossible! That's definitely impossible! How can Melvin not be Michael's son? I-It must be you who changed the results, isn't it? All of you must be in on this!” Leanne scowled as she stared daggers at every single one of us.

Upon hearing Ronan's announcement, I felt as if a burden had been lifted from my heart. But when I saw Leanne's reaction, I couldn't help but knit my brows again.

After walking up to her, I stared intently into her eyes and asserted, “Leanne, it's illegal to fake a paternity test. Do you think all of us here are stupid enough to do it? In truth, you should realize by now that Melvin isn't Michael's child.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No, I don't believe it! You must have tampered with the results on purpose! I demand to take another test at a different hospital!”

At that moment, my words had fallen on deaf ears for Leanne was behaving in a hysterical manner.

“Leanne, wake up. No matter how many times you run the test, the result will be the same. It will not change the fact that Melvin isn't Michael's son!”

The way she was reacting had infuriated me. After going through the hassle of completing the paternity test, she refused to believe in its authenticity.

Consequently, I spoke to her in a hostile tone. In fact, my eyes were burning with rage as I glared at her.

After staring back at me with her bloodshot eyes and pale face, Leanne collapsed onto the ground butt first. She looked utterly listless, as if her soul had left her body.

From there, I could see the despair in her eyes. When she first arrived, she was still brimming with confidence even though Michael had told her that it couldn't be him. Nevertheless, she just refused to listen.

Walking up to her, Michael suggested earnestly, “Leanne, now that you know the result, it's time to let go.”

Upon hearing Michael's voice, she gradually looked up to reveal her teary-eyed face.

Grabbing Michael's arm, Leanne raged, “Why? Why must you do this to me? Michael, tell me, why are

you treating me so harshly?”

“Leanne, when some feelings are gone, they are just not going to return. You should stop this obsession of yours, for it's not doing anyone any good.”

Michael's brows were furrowed, while his words were tinged with resignation.

I was cognizant that he had no intention of harming Leanne. Even though he no longer had feelings for her, she still had a special place in his heart. After all, both of them loved each other once.
