Chapter 11 Exchange Samples

Momo was taken aback and slightly sensitively said, "That was when I was young and ignorant. Now, I don't care who my dad is."

Lin Qi was somewhat surprised, "Why?"

"Huo Tingdong." Momo suddenly uttered this name, "He is my biological father, right?"

Lin Qi was astonished, unable to utter a word.

How could Momo know all this?

Seeing through her doubts, Momo said, "I guessed by intuition. Mommy, if you acknowledge him and say that I am his son, does that mean I can't acknowledge you anymore?"

Lin Qi, holding back the bitterness in her heart, said, "Don't you want to be recognized by the Huo Family? The Huo Family can give you everything best."

"I don't want it!"

Momo said grievously as he hugged Lin Qi, "If acknowledging daddy means I can't acknowledge mommy, then Momo would rather not acknowledge that daddy! Momo just wants to be with mommy forever, never to be apart!"

He just wanted to be forever with mommy.

Momo asked, "Mommy, did you and Daddy get divorced?"

Lin Qi nodded.

"Then you don't have feelings for Daddy anymore?"

Lin Qi chuckled, "No." When she got pregnant with Momo, she hadn't even seen Huo Tingdong's face, how could there be any feelings?

It's strange to say, before she knew she was pregnant, she believed a child was the fruit of two people's love. However, she had not anticipated that when she became pregnant with the flesh and blood of Huo Tingdong, her maternal instincts suddenly sprouted.

Maybe it was because she had received too little love from her own parents when she was young; therefore, she wanted to make up for the love she lacked by giving it to her baby.

Lin Qi hugged Momo tightly; she absolutely could not lose him. Even if it meant fighting with her life, she would not let Huo Tingdong take Momo away.

...

Hospital.

As soon as Song Shuyan entered the laboratory, she saw a man just placing a stack of thick files on the counter. As he saw her, he greeted with a smile, "Miss Song, hello, are you on duty today?"

"Yes, I am."

Song Shuyan recognized the man, Huo Tingdong's assistant, Mo Ke.

Her gaze fell on the stack of files and the two blood samples. She walked over, picked them up, and gestured to him, "What is this?"

Mo Ke said, "These are the files Mr. Huo ordered me to investigate."

Song Shuyan pursed her lips, suspicion growing in her heart, yet she remained composed, "Understood."

Mo Ke fell silent, hesitating for a moment, but did not reply.

Song Shuyan was no ordinary person; she was the cinnabar in Huo Tingdong's heart, the pure moonlight.

Initially, when Huo Tingdong was grievously injured in a car accident and became vegetative, it was to protect her. At the time of the incident, had he not held her tightly, he would not have been injured so severely.

Originally, the Huo and Song Families had set a wedding date, but while Huo Tingdong lay in a coma, Song Shuyan went abroad to study. Two years later, when Huo Tingdong woke up, she returned from studying abroad.

Old Madam Huo had always disliked her. She ignored Huo Tingdong's condition until he woke up, and then she returned to his side, wanting to reinforce the marriage proposal. Such a woman, heartless and unprincipled, Old Madam stubbornly disagreed with this marriage.

But no matter what, she was someone very special in Mr. Huo's heart.

Mo Ke turned around and left.

Song Shuyan went to retrieve the files and skimmed them rapidly, but broke out in cold sweat.

Lin Qi, how could it be her?

She had heard of this woman.

The wife that the Huo Family married off to Huo Tingdong while he was in a coma, was for the sake of leaving a descendant for Huo Tingdong.

Seven years ago, she vanished without a trace, and now...

She turned out to be the suspected biological mother of Han.

With a master's degree, Song Shuyan held a significant position in the hospital.

In the early days, she had heard that Old Madam Huo was always arranging surgery for Lin Qi, which she consistently opposed. She did not want any other woman bearing the Huo Family's seed

Lin Qi therefore did not conceive at that time.

Three years ago, one of Huo Tingdong's men suddenly brought back a child from the orphanage. After several rounds of paternity tests, Han was confirmed to be Huo Tingdong's own flesh and blood, but the identity of the mother remained unknown. However, Song Shuyan keenly sensed that the child must be Lin Qi's, just not understanding why the child had ended up in the orphanage.

Huo Tingdong also believed that the child was Lin Qi's. Consequently, because the child was born weak, he was neglected and abandoned. Therefore, Lin Qi hated him to the bone.

But Song Shuyan knew that, regardless of whether Han had any intellectual disabilities or not, if it was indeed proven with clear evidence that Han was Lin Qi's son, it would be an unfavorable situation for her.

Now was a good opportunity to turn the tables.

Song Shuyan furrowed her brow slightly, suddenly picked up a sterilized syringe from the side, collected her own blood sample, substituted Lin Qi's blood sample, and discarded Lin Qi's blood sample as medical waste in the shredder, before turning around and leaving.

The next day.

The paternity test results provided by the institution circulated to the hands of Huo Tingdong.

[Confirmation of Non-Paternity]

The report declared in black and white, sealed with a bright red stamp.

"Mr. Huo." Mo Ke cautiously inquired, "According to the report, the young master is not Miss Lin's biological child. Do we still need to investigate Miss Lin and the child's origins..."

Huo Tingdong let out a cold sneer, "Why should I waste my time on a woman who has been unfaithful to me?"

Mo Ke asked, "Then does Mr. Huo mean to let her go?"

Huo Tingdong said, "Let her leave." He casually crumpled the report into a ball, turned his office chair around, and his brow and eyes were dark and foreboding.

Could it be that Lin Qi truly isn't Han's birth mother?

Then who could Han's birth mother be?

What kind of woman would bear his child on her own and heartlessly abandon it?

The reason he went through so much trouble to clarify Han's origin was because the psychologist said that Han might not be mentally challenged, but rather suffering psychological issues.

A mother plays a very important role in a child's life; a child's healthy growth requires a complete family.

The love of a father and a mother is inseparable.

Han's reluctance to speak might be due to the lack of a mother's presence and sense of security since childhood.

Suddenly, Huo Tingdong thought of Momo.

That child was different from Han; he could feel it, an exceptionally talented child, intelligent beyond measure, and perhaps, as the psychologist said, it is the gentle and delicate maternal love that can inspire the child to bravely explore the world.

At the Huo Mansion.

The door to Lin Qi's room opened.

Several bodyguards stood at the doorway and said coldly, "Miss Lin, you are now free to leave."

Lin Qi stood up abruptly, "Has the paternity test result come out?"

The bodyguard replied indifferently, "That is not for you to inquire."

Lin Qi's face stiffened for a moment; out of concern, she had asked, belatedly realizing that perhaps she had no right to be concerned.

Momo came over, took her hand, and said gently, "Mommy, let's go home!"

On the way home.

Lin Qi and Momo sat in a taxi, the window rolled down, a gentle breeze caressing them.

As the car passed by a luxurious school gate, Lin Qi saw the gilded letters—Windsor High School.

It was said that Windsor High School had the best educational resources.

Lin Qi glanced at Momo; she also wished for Momo to attend Windsor High School like Han.

Just as they arrived at the front door of their home, Lin Qi saw Bai Yan waiting there.

"Lin Qi!"

Upon seeing her, Bai Yan rushed over excitedly, "I was scared to death! I thought you really had been kidnapped."

Lin Qi responded with a laugh and a cry, "How is that possible? I'm as poor as a church mouse, who would kidnap me?"

Bai Yan said, "Momo said that you were kidnapped by Huo Tingdong! That's the Huo Family heir, what is your relationship with him?"
