Chapter 5278
Cody smiled as he retrieved the items.
"How would I dare lie to you, High Lady? This is the lanugo hair of the child, and this is
Ambrose's hair. It was a journey full of dangers, but I managed to get what I needed in the
end."
As he spoke, Cody passed the items to Veron.
Whew...
Just then, Veron took a look at the items. Upon making sure that they were just as Cody
had described, she was nothing but joyous.
Not bad. Get me a ride to the hospital this instant."
Veron had thought it through. If both specimens' genes matched up, that would prove that
the child belonged to Ambrose and Heather. That way, Heather would be in irreversible
trouble.
It would be best if that was not the case. That would mean that Heather and Ambrose had
not done anything in their relationship, and Veron still had a chance. 1 "Alright!"
Seeing the desperate look on her face, Cody scrambled to respond as he hurried off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHalf an hour later, Cody and Veron reached the hospital's genetics department.
The Lange family was rather known in the New World; thus, the hospital staff did not dare
to be impatient with the Lange High Lady as they greeted her respectfully despite being
so late at night.
Just then, Veron haughtily addressed one of the genetics doctors. "Doctor! Tell me if these
two hair specimens are related by DNA or not. Quickly! I don't like waiting.” "Alright, Miss
Lange."
The doctor hurried into the genetics testing lab.
Veron did not follow him in. Instead, she sat on a chair outside to wait with an impatient
expression on her face.
Veron had never liked the smell of hospitals from a young age. However, she would have
never come to the hospital if it had not been to test the relationship between Ambrose
and the child.
Cody stood to the side, accompanying her quietly.
The seconds ticked by one by one.
Ten minutes passed, and Veron grew pretty impatient as her brows knitted together.
"It's just a little test. Why is it taking so long? Is that doctor slacking off? If I have to wait
any longer, I'm going to burn this hospital down."
Cody hung his head helplessly from where he stood, trying to comfort her." Please calm
down, High Lady. As far as I know, DNA testing takes a while. With this hospital's
advancement, it should take the quickest already."
The doctor was rushing out, covered in sweat, as Cody spoke.
"Took you long enough."
Veron's expression was nothing but displeased as she said coldly to the doctor.
"Well?"
Veron struggled to keep calm while asking the question, but her heart was beating
exceptionally fast. Deep in her heart, she knew she did not wish for the baby to be
Ambrose's.
The doctor took out the results, a placating expression on his face. "Miss Lange, the
results have shown a 99% match in DNA." 2
What?
The words struck down onto Veron like a bolt of lightning as her legs gave out. She felt her

A near-perfect match. It meant that the baby really was Ambrose and Heather's...
At the same time, Cody stopped short as well. He thought he had heard wrong.
The next second, Cody took the results over. At the sight of the papers, he also fell into a
daze.
The High Lady was right. The baby really was Ambrose's.
No one would have thought that Ambrose, the head of the Elysium Gate, appeared all
righteous but was actually such a heinous man on the inside. He had not even married
Heather, and they had already borne a child.
Despite the New World being considerably less conservative than other continents and a
pre-wedding pregnancy was hardly an embarrassment, he was still the head of the
Elysium Gate. Every single move of his was magnified and watched by the rest of the
world. 3
How could he do something like that?
What Cody and Veron did not know then was that they had both completely
misunderstood Ambrose. The child did not belong to Ambrose but to Darryl.
Haifa year ago, Morticia and Darryl had gotten intimate by accident while running from the
Godly Region army. Following that, Morticia got pregnant.
