Outside the paternity testing center, I clung to the bag in my hand.
As soon as I stepped foot in there, it wouldn't be long before the truth would be revealed!
However, if everything was what I had expected, what should I do?!
I'm Zhang Teng, and I'm thirty years old.
I've been married to my wife for eight years and we have an adorable son.
Normally, she would only throw occasional tantrums and rarely lost her temper. Our marriage was considered a happy one.
The only misfortune that struck was that not long ago, my investment failed.
That had cost me all my savings!
Now, I can only rely on my connections to enter a property management company. I lived a repetitive and boring life at work with a meager fixed salary a month.
Fortunately, I had a beautiful wife and my son was obedient and sensible. My life wasn't ruined because of this.
I was grateful to have such a wife.
If it weren't for what happened a week ago, I think I would have lived a happy life!
A week ago, on the overwhelmingly popular Confession Day, I couldn't escape the tradition. So I bought 99 roses and went to my wife's company.
She would definitely be very surprised!
During our eight years of marriage, I was never a romantic person. Giving gifts to my wife on occasions has always been a problem.
So it would never have dawned on her that I would pick her up from work with flowers, to give her a huge surprise!
However, when I arrived, I saw my wife and a bald, greasy-looking old man holding hands as they got into a Bentley!
I have seen that old man before.
He seemed to be the vice president of a real estate company.
I couldn't help but call out to my wife. However, no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn't answer!
Why didn't she answer?
What was my wife doing?
Or was that bald old man doing something to her?!
Pain, struggle, anger, despair… Countless emotions brewed and surged in my heart and expanded crazily!
In the end, she actually switched off her phone!
Countless imaginary scenes flashed across my mind!
Too many things could happen in the car!
In my muddled state, I could only go to the kindergarten to pick up my son alone.
In the end, a new female teacher commented behind my back. "Qiqi doesn't look like him…"
At that time, I almost collapsed in front of everyone!
However, in the end, I could only suppress my emotions and bring my son home. I watched as he jumped around and played. My heart felt heavy.
The more I watched him, the colder my heart felt.
Why did it feel like he resembled the bald vice president?!
If my son belonged to my wife and that bald vice president…
That was going to break my last strand of tolerance.
I was suspicious.
I was furious.
I was terrified.
In the end, I chose to bring my son's hair to the paternity testing center.
Eight years!
After eight years of marriage, was I really going to let them take me for a fool, keep me in the dark, and make me into a cuckold without my knowledge?!
Just as I was about to step inside, my phone rang…
Startled, I stopped and took out my phone.
On the screen, the name "Qiqi" was displayed!
It was my son who had used his smartwatch to call me!
My heart softened. I gritted my teeth and picked up the phone. I put it to my ear. "Hello? Qiqi? What's wrong?"
My son's weak and hoarse voice came from the other end. "Daddy… I feel so uncomfortable…"
I was shocked. "What happened to you, Qiqi?"
The voice on the other end changed instantly, and it was my mother-in-law who was yelling. "You still have the cheek to ask! Your son is running a high fever! Where did you go? Are you still fit to be his father?! You don't even care about your son's life or death, are you still human! Even a dog knows to protect its puppies. You're worse than a dog!"
Hearing her voice, fury surged within me!
But in the next moment, worry quickly suppressed my anger. I asked anxiously, "Mother, where are you now?"
Indeed, for the entire week, I struggled with my worries and doubts and focused on the matter at hand while ignoring my son.
My wife had also mentioned yesterday that he had been coughing a little for the past two days. He was probably sick too.
My mother-in-law said angrily, "Don't call me Mother! I don't have a scumbag son-in-law like you! If you still have some humanity left, hurry to the hospital!"
Beep… Beep…
The call ended.
Looking at the cute photo of my son on the screen, my heart softened.
Gritting my teeth, I turned around and rushed there.
After all, we had been father and son for six years.
Thinking of how he would call me Daddy every day, my heart really couldn't take it anymore!
What if I was just making a wild guess?
What if Qiqi was really my son?
The hospital was not far from the paternity testing center. It would be more likely for me to be stuck in a traffic jam if I took a taxi.
I simply ran all the way to the hospital. I was panting and sweating profusely. But just as I was about to enter, I suddenly froze and stopped.
Outside the hospital, about ten meters away from me, a Bentley stopped.
The door of the front passenger seat opened and a graceful figure stepped out.
Shockingly, it was my wife!
That car belonged to the bald vice president!
