The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 814

I chuckled at Zane's words and said, "I love you, too. But your friend must be waiting—you should go meet her."

"Okay. I'll be going, then," Zane said reluctantly.

I waved as Zane left.

"Here are the results of your DNA test."

The employee at the Forensic Identification Center handed Gary the report. One look at the report seemingly shattered Gary's world. He stumbled backward, barely stabilizing himself in his seat.

After Julia saw the report, all energy was sucked out of her. She gripped the table for support.

She helplessly asked, "What do we do? Lucas is not related to us!"

As Julia spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears. She exclaimed, "Ruby had been lying! She never dated Casper, and her son is not Casper's either! Yet, we chased our daughter-in-law away because of her."

Overwhelmed, Julia yelled, "Come on, think of something!"

With his hands trembling, Gary took out his phone and called his employees. He told them to announce that the company was doing well and that it was not on the brink of bankruptcy. The employees complied.

Then, Gary called Jessica.

"Hello?"

As the conversation continued, Jessica's confusion only increased.

"But didn't you say that Cody is unrelated to you? And that you will never acknowledge him as your grandson?" Jessica asked.

Gary replied, "Well, Julia and I thought about it lately. We both agree that we made a mistake; as his biological grandparents, we should've treated Cody better."

Jessica found Gary's answer funny. Not too long ago, they told her they refused Cody. But today, they suddenly changed their minds. She thought of how Gary referred to himself as Lucas' biological grandfather.

Jessica began to suspect if Ruby's son was Casper's after all.

With that in mind, Jessica chuckled and said, "It's fine. Other people are willing to treat Cody well. Since you never treated him well, you don't have to anymore."
