Chapter 153
Across from the office building, there was a cafe with quite a few people sitting inside. Dexter and I found an empty table among them.
I asked coldly. “Why didn’t you let your relatives donate blood for Juno? You knew from the start they weren’t actually RH–negative, didn’t you?”
Dexter’s eyes were bloodshot. He stared at his coffee cup, refusing to directly answer my question.
— I’m not
“Dexter, there’s no need to drag this out and make things more difficult for both of us. Why not just be honest I sneered. “You know me- someone who holds back when it comes to my son. Think carefully before you answer.”
“Otherwise.” I added, “unless you take Rhea and Alton and leave Fairhaven, I’ll make sure this goes all the way.
He lifted his gaze. “Is it really necessary?”
“We’re divorced, Sylvia,” he said, his voice rising. “We’re no longer a couple. Who I’m with, or who I have kids with, is none of your business” His face, sull pale from his injuries, was slowly turning red with anger
“Thats right.” I replied, my tone as cold as ice. “But that’s not what I’m asking. Don’t change the subject,” I stared into his eyes. “Did you know about this from the beginning?”
“Dexter, what’s your blood type?”.
As soon as Tasked, his face drained of color, and his breath became uneven. I’m RH–negative”
“Then why is it that none of your relatives have the same blood type as you! Did you gather a bunch of people to fake this whole thing and scam me for money! 1 narrowed iny cyc
“Yes, because I need the money“
His voice rose with agitation. “You don’t understand. It’s my mom! How could I not help hert She owes so much money
“On top of taking care of my family’s daily expenses, I also have to give her money to pay off these high–interest loans. How could understand the pressure I’m under!”
“You don’t need to argue with me.” I replied coldly. “Your pressure isn’t something I’ve put on you.”
I took a up of my coffee. “Even when we were married, 1 never asked you for much. So stop trying to guilt–trip me with that.”
I slowly stood up. “Since you claim to have the same blood type as Juno, let’s go to the hospital. I’m taking you for a blood test.”
“You” Dexter looked horrified. “Are you out of your mind? I’m still injured!”
you possibly
“It’s just a blood test. It won’t take much blood. I see you’re well enough to come to the office, so it should be fine. Don’t worry, I’ve already bought you some supplements. You can take them home after we leave the hospital”
I thought I had everything covered.
But Dexter refused. “Sylvia, you’ve changed. You weren’t this cold–hearted before”
“Yeah, I should thank you for teaching me that”
He glared at me for a long time, and finally said, “When I was hospitalized, they kept my medical records. My blood type is listed there. You don’t need to retest it. That would just be a waste of time. I’ll go with you to the hospital and get the records for you”
I nodded. “Fine, that works too”
At the hospital. Dexter went off to find his previous doctor. But I didn’t trust him, so I immediately contacted Jeremy.
In Jeremy’s /them.
office. I watched as he retrieved the medical records from the day Dexter was injured. My heart began to race as I scanned through
Finally, I came to the page with the blood test results.
I held my breath, and when I saw the record, I let out a sigh of relief. It was right there, clearly stated: Dexter’s blood type matched Juno’s

I felt utterly ridiculous. I thought. ‘How can I have ever doubted that Juno is Dexter’s biological child?”
