FakeNovelChapter 997: Taking the phone, he studied the image of an elderly woman-kind-looking, simple, worlds apart from the beautiful, graceful woman Luca had described.
He handed the phone to Luca. “Grandpa, take a look. Do Hannah and Carrie's grandmother resemble each other?" Luca took the phone, squinting before slipping on his glasses for a closer examination. He scrutinized the features carefully. "If you really focus on the details, there are ssimilarities," he admitted. "But the aura..." It was the aura that felt different. The woman in the photo looked indistinguishable from any ordinary elderly lady on the street.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNothing about her hinted at the elegance or refinement of the young woman Luca had met years ago. Even among high society, there were noblewomen who aged naturally, without excessive upkeep, yet their grace and presence remained untouched.
The thought unsettled him. If this truly was Hannah Hinks, then life must have been unimaginably difficult for her. To think that a woman once admired for her beauty and sophistication had faded into such quiet anonymity... it was heartbreaking.
And what of Josh? Perhaps, Luca realized, his brother's early death had been a twisted kind of mercy. Josh had been born into privilege, accustomed to a life of luxury.
If he had lived-if he had been forced to endure years of struggle, stripped of the identity and status that once defined him—would that life have been more painful than death itself? A quiet sigh escaped Luca as he looked at Carrie. Yet despite everything, she shone. How much hardship had she endured to becthe remarkable young woman standing before them now? His voice was gentle as he finally said, "I can't say for sure." Reece, who had been silent until now, stepped forward with quiet determination. "There's no need for speculation. Kelsey left a DNA sample earlier. I'll take it now and run a comparison with Carrie's," he said with a note of finality.
The following morning arrived.
At the paternity testing facility, Kody and Reece accompanied Carrie, opting for the VIP service to receive results in two hours. Instead of departing, they chose to wait in the comfort of the lounge.

While preparing tea, Reece offered a cup to Carrie and then checked the time, saying, "Doc, back so soon? That was quick." As the doctor approached and removed the cup from Carrie's grip, he said, "Pregnant women shouldn't drink such strong tea."
Reece's eyes widened in shock.
m "Pregnant? Who's pregnant?"
Caught off guard by the doctor's words, Carrie's complexion turned ashen. The anxiety over the test had made her overlook her own pregnancy.
Before she could respond, the doctor set down the cup, presented them report to Kody, and said, "You need to tRiKgdy, exercise caution, especially during the first trimester."
