Cedric followed his father into his study along with Sean. He was expecting a serious discussion regarding some matter, judging by his father's face.
He sat on the couch beside his father while Sean sat on the opposite side.
"Show him the reports," Lucas instructed Sean, who handed everything to Cedric.
"Everything is there, Son. The result of the fingerprint match is there…" Lucas informed him.
Cedric froze after reading the report.
"This…" he whispered weakly, unable to utter any more words. His face turned pale and he felt cold sweat all over his body. He flinched when he felt his father's warm hand on his free hand, squeezing it gently as he whispered, "Take your time to process everything. Sean and I are always here to answer any questions you might have, Son."
"But how… can this be…" Cedric gasped with a trembling voice.
