Chapter 514 Impulsive Vow To An Enigmatic Husband

• “Have you always been a fan of blue? Or did you like other colors when you were younger?” Cornelia asked with a poker face, her heart pounding like a wild tide. Yesterday, she read a passage in Granny Rebecca’s diary Granny Rebecca mentioned that her mother had a young girl’s heart and her favorite color was pink, especially pink bows. But now, Clair claimed her favorite color to be blue. So, did this mean this wasn’t her mother? Not necessarily, people’s tastes could change over time. After asking, Cornelia quietly waited for Clair’s response. Maybe her urgency gave it away and raised Clair’s suspicion. Clair gave her a vague response with a smile, “I can’t remember. All I know is that I’ve been loving blue lately.” Clair handed Cornelia a cup of coffee, “Nelly, when I left you and your father, I had no other choice. It was only after I left your father that I realized I was pregnant.” As Clair kept talking, Comelia was fiddling with her coffee cup. Suddenly, the cup fell and shattered. Clair was startled and saw Cornelia squatting down to pick up the pieces, “Nelly, let the waiter clean it u. Don’t hurt yourself.” Comelia squatted down, picking up the shards, “I’ll clean it up.” A look of contempt flashed in Clair’s eyes. Despite being married to a noble man like Marcus, Cornelia couldn’t hide her small-town roots. She couldn’t just stand there watching Cornelia clean up, so she pretended to be helpful, “Let me help you.” “No need!” Cornelia pushed her hand away, accidentally cutting Clair’s hand. The cut wasn’t big or painful, but it enraged the beauty-conscious Clair who nearly lost her temper. She took great care of herself and would never allow any scars, “Nelly, I need to treat the wound, I’ll leave you now. Bring Natalia next time, we can hang out.
• ” With that said, Clair hurriedly left, fearing the wound would heal if she waited any longer. Cornelia collected the shards stained with Clair’s blood, then called Tahlia, “Tahlia, are you done?” Tahlia said, “I’ve completed the hiring process, I’ll start work tomorrow.” Comelia said, “Where are you now? I’ll come to pick you up.” Tahlia said, “I’m at the Hartley Group headquarters.” Cornelia said, “Wait for me, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” The place where Cornelia met Clair wasn’t far from the Hartley Group, a mere ten-minute walk, plus she drove. After picking up Tahlia, Cornelia headed out of the city. Tahlia looked at Cornelia, seemingly with a lot to say, but eventually kept quiet, “Cornelia, even though we just became sisters, I really love you. If only one of us could survive, I would definitely give you the chance to live.” Cornelia freed one hand and gently touched Tahlia’s face, “We’re both going to make it, let our grandma and dad in heaven know we’re doing okay.” Tahlia asked, “Where are we going next?” Comelia answered, “I haven’t been to the seaside for a long time, I want to take you for a walk there. You start work tomorrow, so we won’t have as much free time.” Tahlia responded enthusiastically, “Great!” It was not that Cornelia was overly suspicious, she just liked to stay on her toes. If someone had bugged her and was tracking her every move, ready to outmaneuver her. There was no way she would have gotten the accurate DNA report today. In the morning. Tahlia got up super early and was soon snoozing away. Cornelia hit the road, speeding towards the city next to Riverton. About two hours later, Cornelia pulled off the highway and drove to the DNA testing center in the city next to Riverton. Once she parked the car, she woke up Tahlia, “Tahlia, we’re here. Get out of the car.” Tahlia groggily opened her eyes, “Are we at the beach?” Cornelia responded, “No, we’re in the city next to Riverton. I got a blood sample from Clair, and we’re going to do a DNA test.” Tahlia was a bit confused, “What?” Cornelia didn’t have time to explain, “Just come with me, I’ll fill you in later.” Cornelia took Tahlia to the staff, completed the necessary paperwork. They both gave their samples, then sat quietly waiting. Tahlia was visibly anxious, “What if I’m not your real sister. Cornelia responded, “Whether we’re blood sisters or not, as long as you’re willing to call me your sister, you’re my real sister.” Tahlia said, “I definitely will.” Cornelia took Tahlia’s hand, her heart filled with unease. She didn’t want a mother like Clair, but she was also scared that Clair wasn’t her real mother. If it was confirmed that Clair wasn’t her mother, that would mean her real mother was likely already dead. Otherwise, no one would be impersonating her. The results would take a few hours. Cornelia silently waited there for several hours.
• Tahlia went out and bought two milkshakes and some snacks, “Cornelia, have a sip of your milkshake.” Cornelia took a couple of sips of the milkshake. The saying that something sweet could lift her mood was true; after a few sips, she felt a little less tense. Just then, a staff member called her name, “Ms. Stewart, your test results are ready, please come to my office.” Cornelia took Tahlia to the office, “What are the results?” The staff member handed her several paper reports and showed her the test results on the computer, “Each of us has 23 pairs of chromosomes. A pair of genes at the same location on the same pair of chromosomes are called alleles. Typically, one comes from the father and one from the mother. If an allele at a particular DNA site is found to be the same as the mother, the other should be the same as the father. Otherwise, there’s a problem. We did a detailed DNA comparison of your blood sample and the one you provided, and found five different sites.” Comelia swallowed nervously, “So, we’re not related?” The staff member nodded, “If there was a difference at one or two sites, it could be due to gene mutation, But with five different sites, it completely rules out a parent-child relationship.” Cornelia asked, “Could there be a mistake?” The staff member smiled and replied, “DNA paternity testing technology is very advanced now. The accuracy is almost 100% I can tell you with full responsibility that you definitely do not have a parent-child relationship with the provider of this blood sample.” This DNA test report confirmed that the current Clair wasn’t the biological mother of Cornelia. It seemed likely that someone else was masquerading as Clair. Cornelia then asked, “What about the test results of B and C, and B and D?” The staff replied, “The test results show that B and C are related. The same goes for B and D.” On hearing this, Cornelia felt puzzled, “Are you sure that B and D are related?” B represented Cornelia, C was Tahlia, and D was her grandma. It made sense that she and Tahlia, who were sisters, were related. However, Granny Rebecca’s diary clearly noted that her father Hawthorne was an adopted child. So why would her DNA test with Granny Rebecca still show a relation? Did Granny Rebecca’s diary have errors? Or did this DNA testing agency make a mistake? Cornelia couldn’t make head or tail of it.
