Chapter 7 - The Stolen Blood
Inside Mount Sinai Hospital, the heavy silence of the VIP waiting room was suffocating.
Ryan insisted on a court-ordered DNA test to legally confirm his paternity before the formal hearings began.
Emily sat quietly on the leather couch, watching Ethan and Noah draw pictures with colorful markers.
"I need to know the truth, Emily," Ryan murmured, sitting a few feet away from her. "Did you ever truly love me?"
Emily didn't turn her head, her gaze fixed on her boys. "Love died the night my car plunged into the icy water."
A nurse in blue scrubs walked into the room holding two sealed blood vials labeled with the boys' names.
As the nurse walked toward the lab elevators, a shadowy figure in a black coat bumped into her in the corridor.
The tray rattled, and the nurse gasped as one of the sealed blood vials fell onto the tile floor and shattered.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry!" the disguised man apologized hastily before rushing toward the emergency exit.
Ryan ran into the hallway, catching a glimpse of the man's face before he vanished into the crowd.
