Chapter 136 DNA Test
"Alaric!" Mrs. Marigold was furious upon hearing Alaric's words. "Alaric, are you accusing me of disregarding life by saying that?"
"Yes." Alaric replied.
Mrs. Marigold retorted angrily, "I won't give her a grand burial, nor will I have her tombstone placed in the Knight family's cemetery. She was just a woman who sold her body for money. It was her fortune to bear Caspian for you. Her death was worth it, and there's nothing pitiful about it!
That despicable woman isn't even worth mentioning her name and letting the world know her name! You keep asking me why I'm not good to Caspian, it's because I know Caspian was born from that despicable woman. Every time I see Caspian, I think of that despicable woman, so I dislike Caspian!"
In the midst of the argument, Mrs. Marigold didn't mention the DNA matter, nor did she dare to mention that Galatea was pregnant with three children at the time, losing two along with Galatea. If Alaric found out, he would have considered her a heartless old witch.
"Since the child she bore disgusts you, then you shouldn't have asked her to bear a child for me in the first time. Mom, it is too contradictory."
"Yes, I am a contradictory, malicious, and heartless woman. The more I look at Caspian now, the more displeased he becomes. I even suspect that Caspian is not a true descendant of the Knight family!"
"Go and have a DNA test with him immediately. If it proves he's not a descendant of the Knight family, kick Caspian out right away!"
Mrs. Marigold, in her rage, didn't care about consequences anymore. Just because Alaric cherished Galatea so much, she was ready to kick Caspian out without hesitation.
"Fine!" Alaric said, "I will go and do a DNA test with Caspian today. I will show you the results, and I hope you won't regret all these years of your actions toward Caspian when you see them!"
After saying that, Alaric turned and walked out in large strides. After he left, Mrs. Marigold covered her heart directly, and Joe immediately supported her, helping her sit on the sofa.
"Mrs. Marigold, didn't you decide to talk to Alaric nicely? How did it end up in an argument?" Joe asked.
"I didn't want to argue with Alaric either, but you heard what he just said. I've worked hard for so many years. Even without achievements, one has exerted effort! In the end, it's all my fault, and Alaric even defies me for that dead despicable woman! Shouldn't that despicable woman have died?"
"She deserved it!" Joe echoed while comforting her.
"Alright, Mrs. Marigold, Alaric said he's going to do a DNA test with Caspian. If the results show they're not father and son, Alaric won't blame you." Joe reassured her.
Mrs. Marigold was too angry to say anything coherent at this point. After a while, she said. "I hope so. It's infuriating. I've raised this ungrateful and vicious son for so many years."
Alaric was also deeply upset. After returning to his car, he couldn't calm his emotions for a long time, feeling more and more enraged.
Just then, his phone rang, and Cormac was calling.
"Are you out of the hospital?" Cormac had gone to the hospital to see Alaric but only found out he had been discharged. "You're so inconsiderate, not even telling me you were discharged, making me come here for nothing."
"Coming to Gloria Winery have a drink with me." Alaric hung up after saying that.
Cormac was stunned. Alaric invited him to Gloria Winery, which meant something was wrong.
Cormac immediately drove to Gloria Winery, where Alaric was already waiting, and the wine glasses were all set up.
"What's wrong with you today? You just got out of the hospital. Don't you know you're not supposed to drink?" Cormac quickly took away the tall glass in front of Alaric.
Alaric didn't react much to Cormac's actions, visibly showing his irritation.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Galatea again?" Cormac couldn't help but speculate upon seeing his state. "Is it a real breakup this time?"
"It's not about Galatea."
"Then what could make you like this? Tell me, it might cheer me up."
Upon Cormac's questioning, Alaric sneered. Cormac was also a fool in this matter.
Alaric then told Cormac about Caspian's parentage. After listening, Cormac was stunned for ten seconds.
"Orion isn't really Caspian's birth mother?" Cormac couldn't believe it.
"Yes, is it ridiculous?" Alaric found it all too absurd.
"I can't believe it. Orion said those things just to marry you, there is just one thing, but my parents, and Mrs. Marigold, and they’re all elders, why would they lie like this? My God, is this a movie? This is too absurd. The nephew has been calling me for so many years, and it turns out we're not related at all. This is too absurd!"
"That's the truth." Alaric was truly angry now, but mostly at himself. "It's also my fault, I never bothered to confirm all these years."
"How can this be your fault? Who would have thought they would come up with such a lie together? It's too ridiculous. Has Caspian's biological mother indeed died?" Cormac exclaimed.
"I am uncertain. Mrs. Marigold said that. I will investigate further." attested Alaric.
Upon hearing this, Cormac found his mind momentarily paralyzed. "Should we reveal this matter to Caspian?"
"Caspian has no affection for Orion. Informing him that Orion is not his birth mother will probably bring him joy. As for his biological mother, let's reserve that when he is more mature." Alaric opined.
"Yes, considering his age, we fear Caspian might struggle with such a revelation." Cormac exclaimed. "This is preposterous! The people involved are crazy to make such a lie."
"Help me with something."
"What do you need, checking Caspian's birth mother?" Cormac asked.
"No, it's to do a DNA test with Caspian."
"Why do you need a DNA test with Caspian? Caspian isn't Orion's, so he must be your son. He looks so much like you."
"Caspian is indeed my son. I know he's my son. That's why I want to do it. I want all those who doubt to shut up!"
"I got it. Leave this matter to me. You just need to give me a strand of Caspian's hair with the follicle." Cormac said.
"Okay." Alaric replied.
After talking to Cormac, Alaric returned home. At that moment, seeing Caspian, he felt particularly heartbroken, feeling that Caspian was the most hurt in this whole situation.
"Daddy, you're out of the hospital. How about you?" Harry's words were cut off as Alaric immediately hugged him, making Harry astonished.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Harry was particularly bewildered.
