She abruptly stood up when she received a call from the Doctor, who was undergoing a DNA test. A week has passed, and this is what she has been most looking forward to. She was conflicted and unsure what to do when she told her to come to her office and they would talk there. Theon was not there; he was still in Cebu, so she dashed to her car and sped away.
When Dr. Alferez noticed her. When she sat down in front of it, it smiled at her and handed her the white envelope. She calmed herself first, then opened the envelope with a trembling hand and examined the contents. Her mouth was shut. She burst into tears as she read and turned to face the Doctor.
"Doc, I'm not sure what I'm reading."
The old man's previously solemn expression had been replaced by a smile. "The outcome is 99.9998 percent!"
Amara was taken aback, and the tears she had been holding back finally flowed. Wait, she think this doctor is teasing her.
"Do you mean she's my mother's daughter?"
"It's difficult, hija, if she's your daughter. What's that, you're only a month old and you're flirting? It's unclear whether she's your Mommy's child by chance. "
She wasn't sure whether to laugh or get annoyed because the doctor might have done the test incorrectly.
"Doc, are you certain this is correct?"
"Do you think your parents messed up?"
"Of course not," she said, shaking her head.
"No, that's probably right! Unless your brain is right, hija," he said as he adjusted her eyeglasses.
Instead of crying over what she discovered, it looks like she'll be able to kill an old man today.
"Doc, you're adorable; pinch you there with a nail cutter; I'm envious of you, eh?"
"Just a joke, hija, you're not joking, the oxygen tank will hit you there, eh," he scratched his neck and laughed.
"What is it, Doc?"
"Nothing; I told you she was your daughter."
She was stuck: are they really siblings? Is she, is she really a child? Is she really Legrand's child? she has pictures, so her thoughts are hazy.
Her head ached. How did she and Celestine become sisters?! Does her Mommy have a child outside... Wait, they're the same age as the two of them. Are they twins? Fraternal twins? Huh? Blurry! As a result, she quickly left that office.
She couldn't believe it, she felt like she was just dreaming of the revelations found out. Bullshit! Only their mother could answer all the questions she had in her brain, but she had no plans to surprise her, for now she would hide what she found out first. Supposedly, she didn't know.
She had a DNA test to answer her thousands of questions, and she was nervous about the results, but she was confident that she was the Legrands' son and that she would find the answers.
She dashed out of Doc's office after providing the sample, colliding with a bulk of the body in her haste.
"Can I? Look where you're going!" she's still having a temper tantrum, and instead of looking at who it was and waiting for an apology, she just left.
She was chasing a class and took the DNA test first to clear her mind of the many questions in her head. Imagine Celestine, who came from the provinces and left Manila, who was almost hit by her Daddy and adopted, is actually a Legrand.
Shit, she think she's going insane. She think she needs the handsome Doc's help again. Herrence for her brain, but he's a snob and doesn't know how to smile, so she'll just put it off.
"DID YOU KNOW THAT LADY BEFORE?" Azael inquired as he entered Dr. Alferez's office.
When he saw him, the old Doctor smiled and said, "She's my client."
"How's my DNA test?" he nodded, his gaze fixed on the Doctor. "Tell me the result, I desperately need it."
The Doctor was stunned and complied immediately, taking the white envelope containing his DNA test; he also has no amnesia; he just gimmicked the thing so that Amara wouldn't stay away from him forever.
He can act like a veteran actor in the few years he was hiding his true feelings from the woman. She think that's his talent except for being hurt and not loved by Amara. His gimmick included disappearing for a few months and pretending to marry Penelope so that he would not be noticed.
He acted according to his plan, and everyone agreed with his plan as well as the timing; no one notices or knows except Cuhen and Herrence, who he told about his plan when they visited him in the hospital.
He had to do that thing, pretend it was the only way for him not to stay away, stare, and push away from the woman he loved; but now it's owned by someone else, but who cares, for now he's content to see it every day even if they don't talk much, and that was enough, unlike before when he always saw this fear and anger.
He accepted the result; he knew he was a Legrand, but why did the test taker continue to enter his mind? he goes insane again, convinced that they are not brothers; after all, he knows the woman is his sister and that Legrand's blood runs between the two of them.
"I gotta go," he said, already out of the office; he needed to talk and drink a beer before approaching Cuhen.
Fuck this life! When will he pretend to have amnesia and be accepted for love by Amara? He angrily punched the steering wheel and had his hair pulled back. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! he was already struggling and would never be able to forget the woman.
Every time he does this, he gets harder and harder to seek Amara's presence; he just wish he had amnesia and completely lost his memory so that he wouldn't have any more difficulties.
But he was shocked when he remembered it was from Dr. Alferez office. In its haste, he was not even looked at. Only one entered his mind, and it tested like he did.
Damn, why hadn't he thought of that before? he jumped out of the car and dashed back upstairs to the Doctor's office.
"Name the amount you want. All you have to do is tell me all the information you found out about a woman named Amara Legrand Willoughby," he said directly when he entered, and the nurse who was talking to him immediately came out.
He could buy ten yachts with his own savings, so if he had to buy death to change the cycle of fate, he would. Not to mention that he exercised great restraint in order not to be able to kill Theon with his own hands. Fuck!
When CUHEN walked into his office, he was taken aback by the laptop in front of him, which appeared to be busy with something.
"What's your problem?"
He smiled as if he had won the lottery and sat down on a sofa in a friend's office. "I have good news!" he exclaimed.
"OK, what is it? Make sure it's good news." Cuhen laughed and sat in his swivel chair.
He began to tell stories about what he had learned, in great detail; it is aware of his plans but does not interfere with them, despite his strong opposition.
"You're kidding, aren't you?" Cuhen stood up and took a step closer to him.
"No, here's my proof of Celestine and my Mom's DNA test. My sister is Celestine, dude!"
He sat down next to him on the sofa, swayed by the senses. "Yeah, but how? We know Amara is your only sister. Unless... "
"If she wasn't a real Legrand," he said with a smile when the subject was brought up.
"Or she is. We both know she is your real sister. Maybe it just made a mistake in the test," Cuhen couldn't believe his promise and seemed to be thinking, "Wait, it's up to you to find out... "
"I did. In a few days, the result that Amara and Mommy worked on in secret will be revealed, and we will know what it is. Damn! I should have done these sooner."
Cuhen just stared at him, not knowing what to think; he thinks he's going insane again, but that's probably how it is when you fall in love at the wrong time; but he is now alive to learn that he and Amara are not siblings.
He'll move heaven and earth this time if he discovers they're not really brothers! He doesn't care if it belongs to another man because he has owned Amara since the beginning; time has simply blocked him.
"Gotta go. Penny just texted me, asking where I am. Damn that woman, she's fucking annoying." he stood up and left his friend's office without saying goodbye.
He didn't love her; he only used her to hide his pretense that he would never be doubted and that Amara would stay away. He convinced everyone except Cuhen and Herrence, who are his alleys. They can lean on anything, so perhaps the three of them will be friends.
While waiting for Dr. Alferez's call, Amara is bothered. This is the day her DNA test results will be available. Many questions ran through her mind, and instead of receiving answers, everything became even more hazy.
When she received the call from Dr. Alferez, she was distracted, so she quickly said yes and went to his office. But instead of being happy to see the test results, the world seemed to be overwhelmed by her. Why is she unhappy? What occurred?
"Doc ..."
"Why?"
"Did I read it correctly?"
"Do you want us to make a mistake?"
She was getting fed up with the old Doctor's antics. Why didn't she bring an ax-sized nail cutter? Argh!
"Doc, have you ever seen a Doctor killed by their patient?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
It shook and appeared to be thinking. "Why, hija?"
"It appears that you will be in the morgue after this Doc."
It chuckled. "You're too psycho, hija! Mentally, we recommend it." His brows furrowed. Her patience is wearing thin. Dr. Alferez sneezed immediately and take it seriously. "Everything you've seen and read is true."
She exhaled a deep sigh. Why isn't she overjoyed that she's a true Legrand? Why isn't she happy to be a real child, to be the sister of Azael, who is also Celestine's sister? Why? Why does it appear that something is wrong, and why does she feel this way? The test could not have gone wrong.
She immediately stood up and walked away with the outcome. She will repeat, and her first priority is to figure out how and why she became Celestine's sister. She needs to learn everything she can about the woman first, and if she needs to retake the test, she will. She will not stop until the questions bothering her mind are answered.
