Chapter 2 Do a Paternity Test

Agatha does not remember how she left, the heavy rain was endless, as the cold air ran from the soles of her feet to her heart, condensing into ice skates and piercing every inch of flesh and blood. She does not know if it was the right choice to come back. In the ward, Jaden is still awake. Every time she sees her child, it pains her, it’s all her fault, its all her fault! If only she wasn’t heartbroken at that time, she wouldn’t have not known she was pregnant, after 3 or 4 months as her belly starts to swell, only then did she went to a hospital. After 6/7 months of pregnancy, did she find out that there’s a problem with the child, how could bear to induce labour? She selfishly chose to keep the child. She cant bear to get rid of the flesh and blood growing in her, she hopes it’s a fluke, what if the child is born healthy? But, what if the child is born......without arms? The doctor notify her that the child’s body is weak, and might not live for long. That day, Agatha’s world sank into darkness...... That kind of powerlessness, unwilling to live anymore, rose to the extreme. She didn’t expect that day to come so soon. ‘Mom, when will dad come see me?’ Jaden, lying on a ward bed, stare at her innocently. Agatha reached out and touch the back of his head gently, ‘Dad is busy, but he promise he will come see Jaden, he will come’. ‘Really?’ Jaden excitingly but cautiously ask her, ‘I really have a dad?’ ‘Of course’ Agatha hugged him ‘Jaden’s dad is the world’s most awesome person’. Two days have passed, Damon did not appear, and Jaden’s body got weaker and weaker, the feeling of anxious starts filling Agatha. She went to his abode, went to his company, but was rejected outside. It’s this day in which she met Damon at the hospital, as soon as she saw him, her face lit up and a surge of hope arise, ‘You finally came’. Damon snickered coldly, ‘You didn’t actually think I came because of you, right? Ridiculous!’ The hope that had arise immediately shattered, before Agatha could say anything, Jessica appeared behind him, ‘Oh Agatha, what a coincidence’. In her hand, is a hospitalization form, with her belly bump popping out, which might have been 7 or 8 months. Then only did Agatha realize, that he is here to accompany Jessica. ‘Damon, you are here already, so why not pay Jaden a visit, it’s just on the third floor, it wouldn’t take much time......’. ‘I’m busy’ Damon replied resolutely ‘even if I’m not, I won’t go’. Agatha went after him, ‘You don’t believe that Jaden is your child? Damon, do you dare to do a paternity test? When the result is out, you will know, Jaden is your child!’. Damon squinted, his cold eyes flashing without hesitation. On the other side, Jessica sweetly agree ‘Damon, why not do a paternity test? What if Jaden really is your child? The child is innocent’. On the day the paternity result is out, Agatha told Jaden, ‘Dad will come see you today’. Jaden’s eye’s brightened and shone like stars, and he was on cloud nine for the whole morning. But at 3 in the afternoon, Damon threw the report in her face, ‘I must be insane, letting you slander me every single time!’ Agatha anxiously flipped open the report in disbelief, how is it possible? Jaden is not Damon’s child? ‘Please listen to me......’ Agatha held onto the cuff of Damon’s shirt, wanting to explain, but didn’t know how to. ‘Please, I’m begging you just this once, just one look, as long as you can fulfill Jaden’s last wish, I’ll do anything!’
