Joel tensed up and he asked nervously, "How are the results?"
The previous generation of the Smiths had three sons, and Ian was the youngest. They didn't have any sisters.
No one had given birth to any daughters in their generation, either. Though, Ian had adopted a daughter. Should Nora really turn out to be their cousin, that would be great.
Besides, this would also give Ian the courage to live on.
Joel received a reply from Quentin while he was thinking about it. The reply took him by surprise. His upturned eyes slowly became downcast. A short while later, he said, "I see."
After he hung up, Joel turned to look out the window and went into deep contemplation.
Some time later, he finally retracted his gaze as if he had made up his mind about something. Students started to exit the kindergarten after that.
Joel got out of the car.
