There was no blood relation shown in this report.
Tarquin’s brow furrowed as he examined the DNA test results. He felt an odd mix of emotions though he had
somewhat anticipated this outcome. If Elysia were truly Elijah’s biological mother, there was no reason for her to
hide the truth. After all, acknowledging their relationship would be in her best financial interest, no matter how
one looked at it.
Still, Tarquin asked further, “Did you do this yourself?”
“Yeah, | didn’t even let my assistant touch it.”
Tarquin’s frown deepened but he said nothing more. He stuffed the report into a envelope, handed it to Lowell,
and turned to head back to Elijah’s hospital room.
Benjamin was a tad confused, “Whose DNA results are those?”
Lowell replied, “I'm guessing it's between Ms. Thorne and Elijah.”
Benjamin's eyes widened in shock, “Tarquin suspects Ms. Thorne is Elijah’s mom? Why on earth would he think
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat? Elijah doesn’t even resemble her.”
“It might be because of that night at the bar when Ms. Thorne kissed him. It probably triggered smemories.”
Benjamin was even more stunned, “Ms. Thorne kissed him?!”
Lowell nodded significantly, “And he didn’t push her away.”
“Holy smokes! Is Tarquin gonna leave his life as a bachelor?”
“Hmm, I'd say there's a chance. Better start treating Ms. Thorne nicely; she might just be the one to save Tarquin
and becthe lady of the house.” Lowell answered.
As soon as Lowell finished speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from one of the bodyguards, “Boss, we've
spotted Ms. Thorne. She’s with Gideon.”
Lowell was taken aback, “With who?”
“Gideon.”
Lowell was helpless. He had just finished suggesting that she could be part of the family, and now she was
spotted cozying up with their enemy.
“Are you sure it’s her? No mistake?” he asked.
“Positive. Sent you the photos. Check them out.”
After hanging up, Lowell hurriedly opened the photos. Sure enough, it was Elysia with Gideon. It looked like they
were deep in conversation over coffee.

Benjamin was astonished, “Ms. Thknows Gideon?”
Lowell frowned, “I need to talk to Tarquin about this.”
He took his phone to the hospital room where Elijah was still resting. Lowell handed the phone to Tarquin and
whispered, “Ms. Thorne is having coffee with Gideon.”
Tarquin’s gaze darkened as he looked at the photo, a menacing aura emanating from him.
Meanwhile, Elysia was blissfully unaware that she had been caught in a misunderstanding and was currently the
subject of Tarquin’s suspicion.
She was looking at the silver-haired man before her, utterly baffled.

She had been chatting with Blossom when an unexpected call cthrough, claiming there was important
business to discuss with her.
Upon arriving, she was greeted by Gideon. But she didn’t recognize him, “May | ask who you are?”
Gideon surveyed her and countered, “Are you a child psychologist?”
“No, I've read sbooks on the subject, but I'm not certified. I'm not a professional.”
“Tarquin wants you to treat Elijah?”
The sudden mention of Elijah brought a certain someone to Elysia’s mind. She eyed Gideon with suspicion, “No,
today’s hospital visit was just a coincidence. | wasn’t much help, really.”
“Oh, so you've already treated Elijah?”
“Not exactly. Who are you, and why are you looking for me?”
Instead of answering, Gideon maintained a calm demeanor, “I've heard you're quite short on cash. I'm willing to
make a deal with you. Whatever Tarquin is paying you, I'll double it.” Elysia was lost, “What kind of deal? What
money? He hasn't paidanything.”
In fact, she was the one in debt to him-a whopping fifty million!
