Pay With Your Heart-Chapter 447

Chapter 447: Test Result

“Do you care to tell me why the doctor was here? I heard he was here yesterday, and you had secretly met him in your office. Are you unwell?” Sena questioned.

“Secretly?” Ki-Jun chuckled at her choice of words. “Why would I ‘secretly’ meet with the doctor when you’re inside the same house with me?” He jocularly replied, but Sena shrugged. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

“You tell me.”

“There’s nothing to tell. I just wanted to make some inquiries about the hospital from him.” He smoothly said.

“Inquires?” Sena suspiciously narrowed her eyes at him.

“Yes,” He firmly replied. Sena smiled when he slightly itched the top of his nose before wearing his shirt over his head.

She moved to the edge of the bed and folded her arms as she looked at him with interest. “And what exactly was this inquiry about?” She pressed.

.....

Ki-Jun shrugged. “Well, he once mentioned the surgical wing would undergo some renovations. So I wanted to know what exactly they needed for it.” He explained, while Sena nodded with interest, knowing all he had just said were lies.

Her husband didn’t know how to lie, which was a fact they had long established before marriage. He was one of those ded and pious men who never felt the need to lie or hate.

He always took things with a smile no matter how difficult they were and tried to see the light in everything. And when he was in a precarious situation, he’d always hold on to his integrity. He had never lied to her, and the few times he had tried to, he habitually itched the tip of his nose just as he was doing now.

“You’re itching your nose, Ki-Jun. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you do that. What? Got a reaction?” She tauntingly smiled at him, and he snapped his hand away from his nose.

Sena chuckled at his childish reaction. “You’re too old for such things. Just tell me the truth. Do you feel sick?” She questioned, and Ki-Jun readily shook his head.

She silently observed him and nodded. “Good.”

Ki-Jun watched her with surprise as she rose from the bed and started towards the door. He raised a curious brow. “You aren’t going to ask anymore?” He surprisingly asked, wondering why he was digging a hole for himself.

Sena stopped and turned to him, and tilted her face. “Do you want me to ask?” She asked him, and he shook his head.

“I thought so too.” She replied. “I’ve known you long enough, Ki-Jun. So it’s fine if you have something to attend to. It’s enough to know you’re not sick, and I know no girl will be interested in you.” She chuckled at her last words, but Ki-Jun faked a frown.

“Why do you think so? I might just be going to bring a young, beautiful lady home.” He teased, and Sena nonchalantly shrugged.

“That’s perfectly fine, but remember, I still know how to deliver a kick or two. So it’s all up to you.” She casually said as she sauntered out of the room, leaving him to smile to himself.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten how capable she could be.

He didn’t intentionally want to hide anything from her, and he felt really uncomfortable doing so, but he told himself he was only doing this to protect her emotions if this all turned out to be one big lie.

He picked up his phone when it chimed with a message notification. It was his doctor informing him about the result being ready. He asked if he should bring it over.

Ki-Jun didn’t have to think about it. Having the doctor over will only pique Sena’s interest. She might have shown some nonchalance now, but that wouldn’t be the case if the doctor showed up for the second time.

She might pop into his study at any time, and if she were to see the result, whichever way it turned out to be, it was going to be a difficult situation to explain, especially if it wasn’t true.

With that, he got himself ready and hurried out of the house and towards the hospital. He had barely driven far from the house when he received a call from Yong-Gun.

“Yong-Gun,” Ki-Jun called with a pleasant surprise.

“Hello, brother.” Yong-Gun greeted. “You sound surprised to receive my call.”

“I’m surprised to see the number you’re calling with. Seems you’ve finally come to visit us after a while.” Ki-Jun pleasantly smiled. He receives Yong-Gun’s call every other day regarding company decisions, but he was surprised to see he was calling with a different number which indicated he was in country F.

Yong-Gun laughed. “You’re the only family I have, so I thought I come over and see you. It’s been a while.” He said, and Ki-Jun readily agreed.

“It’s been a while, indeed.”

“I’ll be heading over in half an hour. I wanted to inform you.” Yong-Gun informed him while Ki-Jun looked at the time. He didn’t think he’d be home in half an hour.

“Sena will welcome you. I’m currently heading out, but I’ll be back before long.”

Yong-Gun’s brows furrowed when he heard he was heading out. “I heard your Lee boy is around. Are you, by chance visiting him? I also would like to meet him about his current centenary project. I could join you if that’s where you are headed.” He said.

Ki-Jun bellowed out in laughter at his brother’s word. “Are you by chance trying to cut corners by playing the family card? I guess the boy has you on your toes. Ji-Sun and I must have thought him well.” Ki-Jun said as he continued to laugh.

Yong-Gun awkwardly laughed until Ki-Jun spoke up again after his laughter died down. “I’m not seeing Dan-Han now, but I have something important to attend to. I’ll see you when I get back.” Ki-Jun told him, while Yong-Gun wondered where he was headed. He knew he didn’t have to be suspicious about everything, but at this moment, he couldn’t help it.

“I’ll wait for you.” Yong-Gun agreed before disconnecting the call.

Ki-Jun headed for the doctor’s office the moment he arrived at the hospital.

“Where is it?” He demanded even before taking his seat, and the doctor pulled out a sealed white envelope from his drawer and handed it to him.

Ki-Jun didn’t know why, but he felt nervous holding the envelope in his hands. Without waiting one more second, he tore the envelope and unfolded the paper inside. He skimmed down the elaborate details and moved to the last paragraph that read,

‘The alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the tested child. Based on testing results from analyses of the DNA loci listed, the probability of paternity is 99.9999997%...’

Ki-Jun’s heart skipped with every word he read, and his hands trembled. He looked at the man who had been their family doctor for over two decades.

“Is this the truth?” He asked, his voice almost making a stutter.

“Yes, sir.” The man firmly replied. “The DNA matches yours. Whoever owned it is truly your child.”
