However, it was not Lionel.

It was Howard.

Sheena looked Howard up and down and glanced back at Noah, who was also drenched.

Chuckling, she asked, “What’s happening tonight? Why are you all running over here in the rain? It’s quite lively.”

Howard wrung out the water from his blue suit while smiling at Noah behind Sheena.

“Well, well… What a coincidence! Noah’s here too!”

Noah remained aloof, not responding to him.

Sheena asked, “Howard, what brings you here tonight?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Bringing up the matter, Howard’s expression instantly turned serious, and he spoke in a deep, grave

tone.

“Nana, I’ve found out the real reason behind Dad’s recent troubles.”

Sheena’s smile faded instantly, replaced by seriousness.

“What is it?”

“It’s…” Howard started to speak but then thought better of it. “Let’s go inside. I’ll tell you slowly.”

Sheena immediately handed him a towel to dry his wet hair.

Howard quickly cleaned himself up.

When Elliot came out of the kitchen, he immediately noticed another unexpected guest in his home. He smirked playfully, “Howard’s here too? Did you smell my ginger tea and decide to come for a cup?”

Howard chuckled. “I’ve never tried your ginger tea. What a treat!”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the living room quickly became harmonious. They all sat on the sofa, discussing plans for tomorrow’s return banquet.

Just as two steaming cups of ginger tea were placed on the coffee table, the door was knocked on again.

This time, it was really Llonel.

Although Lionel had an umbrella, the rain outside was too heavy. He ran all the way over, still getting quite wet.

In his arms, he held the things Noah had asked for.

As soon as Elliot opened the door, Lionel sneezed twice.

Smelling the fragrant ginger tea inside, he put on a mournful face and began to mimic Elliot’s usual act of self–pity.

“Oh, what a tough life! I was having a nice dream when Sheena summoned me to do chores. I need cup of ginger tea to cheer me up, and a raise wouldn’t hurt either!”

He had not finished speaking when he heard Howard’s light laughter from the living room.

Feeling puzzled, Lionel peeked inside and was surprised to find Noah and Howard there. He immediately looked away, feeling regretful,

His usual fawning behavior in front of Elliot, exposed to others, made him want to disappear on the spot, wishing he could hit the rewind button and start over.

Elliot smirked at him, taking the testing equipment from his hands.

rvou too.”

“There’s plenty of ginger tea tonight, and there’s some for you

“Great!”

Lionel, always a social butterfly, quickly recovered from his embarrassment and joined the discussion in the living room after the awkward moment.

After finishing their ginger tea, Noah took the equipment and headed to an empty room on the second floor to begin the serious verification process.

The silver staining reagent and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were the most primitive DNA testing methods.

Noah, fearing making mistakes, meticulously conducted several tests, repeating the experiments.

While Noah diligently performed the DNA test in the room, Sheena, Elliot, Howard, and Lionel stood anxiously by the door, waiting.

Even though it was late into the night, not a single person felt sleepy.

They were all nervous about the result.

Noah’s personal verification was the final chance and the most authoritative result.

Each person felt restless, and every passing moment felt like agony.

After another half hour, they heard the sound of the door handle turning from inside the room. Finally, Noah finished the testing and walked out steadily.
