"I promise, I will not try to sabotage the results in any way." He clung onto her hand so she wouldn't slip away again, knowing that if she did, it wouldn't be easy to talk her into listening to him. "Give me a chance, will you?"
She shook her head. "I don't know whether or not to trust you."
"Then don't." He had an idea and nearly fist-pumped just thinking about it. How about this? I'll give you my DNA sample and you can take my alleged child's on your own. You can submit the two to whatever hospital you want, using whatever means you want, and have it delivered wherever you want. Will you trust the outcome then?"
She thought about it. "I don't know. Will Shirley have to know about the DNA test before it happens?"
"Technically, she will have to know. It is her child, after all. There is only one way to get the child's sample and that's by meeting up with them."
