Chapter 320 The Truth Really Hurts!
Louis realized he couldn't understand the data at all!
The data was highly specialized, so it was normal for him not to understand it. Moreover, Locas didn't dare to draw any conclusions in the report.
So, there was no conclusion at the bottom of the report.
As long as there was no conclusion, only he and Paige could understand the report among this group of people.
Louis looked up and glanced at Locas. "What's going on with this report?"
Paige's body seemed to have lost its soul, leaning weakly against Raymond's arm.
If it weren't for Raymond's support, she might have collapsed entirely at that moment!
Locas didn't know how to answer Louis's question.
Locas stammered, avoiding Louis's gaze, but said nothing.
Louis was helpless. He knew that besides Locas, only Paige could understand the report and give him an answer.
But the Paige in front of him seemed like a withering rose in an instant.
Her face was pale, devoid of any color.
Seeing Paige like this, Louis's worry grew even stronger.
'What is going on? After reading the report, Paige becomes like this.' Louis thought.
Raymond couldn't understand the report either, so when Paige was reading it, he looked at it too but didn't know the result.
Only Paige and Locas knew the result of the report.
However, now one was silent, and the other seemed like an empty shell.
Louis was at his wit's end. He walked directly towards Paige with the report in hand.
He reached out and grabbed Paige's arms, pleading for an answer. "Paige, besides Locas, only you can understand this report. Tell me, what does it mean? Whose report is this?"
Paige's arm was held by Louis's hands, but she seemed unable to come to her senses, standing there lifelessly.
Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Louis anxiously shook her arm.
The report was right in front of them, and so was the truth.
Louis's tone was very excited. "Paige, don't you want the truth? Don't you want answers? Tell me, whose report is this, and what is the result? Why are you like this? What did you see? Tell me!"
Paige's eyes were vacant like a puppet, letting Louis and Raymond pull her without any strength to resist or break free.
Fate seemed never to be fair to her, even cruel.
God threw her into this world but never intended to save her, letting her fall into the abyss again and again.
After all, she was just a person. Why did it have to be so cruel to her?
Seeing that Paige couldn't say anything, Raymond wanted to push Louis away, but Louis pushed Raymond away even harder, which Raymond hadn't expected.
Louis seized the opportunity and shook Paige frantically. "Paige, you're strong. What's wrong with you? What did you see? What's wrong with the report? Tell me, please!"
At this moment, Louis was almost in a frenzy.
The answer was right in front of him, and he knew it was related to him.
Raymond wanted to pull Paige back again. He wouldn't allow anyone to force her to say something she didn't want to.
But just as Raymond reached out to pull Paige, she gently pushed his hand away.
Seeing Paige finally react, Louis continued to ask, "Paige, tell me, what did you see?"
Paige's eyes finally had some focus, but as she looked at Louis's face, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
Paige's appearance truly frightened Louis.
He suddenly stopped shaking her, not daring to move her again.
Raymond stood beside Paige, afraid something might happen to her.
At this moment, Paige just looked at Louis, and Louis looked back at her quietly.
For a moment, the entire lab hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Every second of this silence felt like an eternity for Paige and Louis.
Paige looked at Louis, tears streaming down her face.
No one knew if it was ten seconds or ten minutes later, but Paige finally spoke. "The report shows that you are my mother's son!"
As Paige said this, Francesca, leaning against the lab table, couldn't support herself and slowly slid to the ground, sitting there limply.
She gasped for breath, clutching her chest, her hand gradually forming a fist. Her brows furrowed, and she bit her lip, but eventually, she couldn't hold back, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Finally, the moment had come and the truth was revealed!
She hated herself for not killing Xena sooner.
If Xena hadn't mentioned the hair, no matter how much Paige suspected her involvement in Luna's death, it would have ended without evidence.
But now, it was too late!
Louis shook his head, denying the answer.
But the onlookers, Raymond and Amelia, could see from Francesca's tear-streaked face that Paige was telling the truth.
No matter how cruel the truth was, it was the truth!
Louis shook his head. "No, it can't be. I'm from the Carnegie family. How could I be your mother's son? Paige, could the test be wrong? Did they mix up the data?"
After saying this, Louis turned to Locas. "Locas, you did the test yourself. Do it again. Could you have mixed up the data? How could I be Mrs. Parker's son?"
Locas glanced at Paige. Since Paige had already revealed the result, there was no need to deny it.
Locas said, "When it comes to her, I'm very cautious. I even did the test twice!"
Locas's words nailed the truth even harder.
Louis's emotions were in turmoil. He spun around like a headless chicken, finally focusing his eyes on Francesca, who was sitting on the ground.
Louis walked over. He was so tall that even when he lowered his head, he couldn't see Francesca's face as she sat on the ground.
Suddenly, Louis knelt down in front of Francesca. "Mom, did you hear what Paige said? She said I'm not your son."
Francesca couldn't say a word at this moment. She bit her lip, clutched her chest, breathed rapidly, and tears kept flowing.
Raymond glanced at them but focused all his attention on Paige.
At this moment, he was more worried about Paige.
Amelia also stepped forward, standing on the other side of Paige.
Anyone with a bit of sense could see that Paige was more devastated by this moment than anyone else.
One report showed that Paige and Louis were not siblings, and another report showed that Louis was Luna's son.
So, who was Paige?
Such a result could drive someone insane.
Paige just stood there, quietly shedding tears.
After all the investigation, did she have no connection with Luna?
Francesca didn't answer Louis's question.
Paige finally spoke, "Locas, is there no third test?"
Hearing Paige call his name, Locas broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, after the report on Louis and Luna came out, Locas was also shocked. Without waiting for Paige's instructions, he had already investigated the truth and conducted a third test comparing Paige's DNA with Luna's.
Locas slowly opened his mouth, "You..."
Paige suddenly controlled her emotions and interrupted Locas. "I'm fine, tell me the result."
Locas bit his lip and finally said, "You and Mrs. Parker have no blood relation."
With one sentence, the biological relationship between Paige and Luna was completely denied.
Paige's body swayed, unable to stand. She looked at Locas. "Does this mean Louis is my mom's only child in this world? But my mom's love and waiting for me, no, did she not even know I wasn't her biological child?"
Paige's heart twisted in pain. She clutched her chest and stepped back, with Raymond immediately supporting her.
Paige looked at Raymond for help. "Tell me this isn't true. Why is it so cruel? Why?"
Raymond couldn't answer Paige's question; he didn't know the specifics either.
And Louis didn't get any confirmation from Francesca.
Louis's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
He muttered, "So, you were the one who knew the truth. You always knew I wasn't your biological son, so you tried to stop me from finding the truth."
Louis continued to mutter to himself, "No wonder you tried to stop me from donating a kidney to Mrs. Parker after knowing we were a match. No wonder you wanted to destroy the hospital's surveillance and drug everyone to see Mrs. Parker. No wonder you took her hair and you went to three high-security private testing agencies for DNA tests."
"No wonder you took me to Mrs. Parker's funeral despite the immense pressure. No wonder you agreed to go to Northern Country with Paige so readily. So, this is the truth you wanted to hide!"
Louis no longer needed to hear the truth from Francesca's mouth; the truth was already in front of him.
Francesca watched Louis collapse in pain. She leaned forward, trembling, and reached out to wipe the tears from Louis's face.
But Louis turned his head, avoiding her hand.
This small action made Francesca's tears flow even more uncontrollably.
Francesca's blurred vision moved from Louis to Paige, unable to say a word, just biting her lip tightly.
Paige was in a terrible state.
After Louis finished his monologue, Paige screamed in agony. "What about me? Who am I? Francesca, answer me, who am I? My mom didn't even know I wasn't her daughter. She had a son in this world, and you knew Louis was her son. So, tell me, who am I?"
Paige lunged at Francesca, grabbing her collar, her eyes fixed on Francesca.
Both were in tears, their vision sometimes clear, sometimes blurred by the tears.
But even so, Paige, holding onto Francesca, just wanted an answer.
Seeing Paige in such pain made Francesca even more miserable.
Paige was irrational, but Xena's words kept echoing in her mind. 'Could it be... Are Xena's suspicions and warnings true?'
Paige grabbed Francesca and demanded again. "Tell me, who am I! Francesca, I want you to tell me, who am I?"
Francesca gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, letting more tears fall.
But Paige wouldn't allow the truth to be buried again.
She screamed, "Fine, you won't speak, right? Fine! Locas, I'm holding her, take Francesca's DNA sample! At this point, let's clear everything up once and for all!"
Otherwise, she would be tortured until she died. She and Raymond couldn't go on like this.
After Paige called Locas, he walked over step by step. He had known Paige for a long time, but it was the first time he saw her so broken.
His heart ached, but he still wanted to help her.
As Locas approached Francesca, she struggled desperately.
Francesca finally spoke, crying out. "Paige, I'm begging you, let it end here, please, I'm begging you!"
Paige said to Locas, "What are you waiting for? Take the sample!"
Francesca cried out in agony. "Blame me, it's all my fault! I'll tell you the truth, you are my..."
