Chapter 626 Patricia, I am your biological father
"Kaleb suddenly hesitated to acknowledge Patricia. He was afraid that Patricia would blame him, refusing to acknowledge him.
""Maximilian, could you do me a favor?"" Kaleb asked.
""What favor?"" Maximilian inquired.
Kaleb replied, ""Find a way to get Patricia's hair, secretly getting it tested for DNA. Then tell me the results.""
Maximilian immediately understood his intention. ""Are you planning to continue not acknowledging your Patricia?""
Kaleb was very nervous and fearful.
""I will acknowledge Patricia for sure. If she is my daughter, I won't give up, for I have made efforts to finally find her! But, let's take it step by step, confirm it first, and then find a suitable time to address it.""
If Patricia is confirmed to be his daughter, he could then save Martin without any reservations.
Without finding his daughter, no matter how pitiful Patricia and Martin were, he wouldn't dare to save them.
Only after finding his daughter would he dare to make the next plan.
Maximilian didn't pressure him, nodding and saying, ""Alright! I'll visit Mr. Langley's room later under the guise of a visit and try to get a strand of Patricia's hair. Once the DNA test results are out, I'll inform you immediately.""
""Okay!"" Kaleb replied, visibly distracted.
His mind was still echoing the scene he had just witnessed in the hospital. He was unable to calm down.
After leaving the hospital, Maximilian drove Kaleb home first. Next, he took a strand of Kaleb's hair, casually giving it to his assistant Frank to arrange for testing.
In the evening, Maximilian arrived at Kaleb's house with the DNA test report.
Seeing the results, Kaleb couldn't help but shed tears.
Although he was already certain in his heart that Patricia was his daughter.
At the moment of seeing the report, he was still incredibly excited.
He had found his daughter.
After searching for over twenty years, he had finally found her.
Maximilian asked, ""Uncle Kaleb, when do you plan to confirm the relationship with Patricia? Or shall I arrange a time for you?""
Kaleb was in turmoil at this moment.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He nodded but then shook his head.
Maximilian didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed, so he asked, ""Why are you both nodding and shaking your head? What are you thinking?""
After a moment of silence, Kaleb said, ""I need to go find her.""
Understanding his intention, Maximilian said, ""Alright, I'll take you to find her tomorrow.""
Kaleb shook his head. ""No, I want to find her now.""
""Now?"" Maximilian widened his eyes, checking the time on his wristwatch. ""It's already seven o'clock; it'll be eight by the time we get there. Are you sure you want to go?""
Kaleb nodded firmly. ""Yes, I want to go now! Martin's condition is very serious; we can't delay any longer. A lot can happen overnight, and I can't let things reach a point of no return. I can't let Patricia lose her husband at a young age, nor can I let her resent me.""
If Patricia wasn't his daughter, then so be it. He didn't care.
However, since Patricia was his daughter, he still wanted to confirm the relationship with her.
He couldn't let her resent him.
In any case, he had to try his best to save Martin.
Maximilian understood that saving a life couldn't be delayed, so he didn't say anything more and drove Kaleb to the hospital.
Kaleb was extremely uneasy and nervous, sweating profusely all the way.
By the time they reached the hospital, his collar was completely soaked with sweat.
Maximilian and Kaleb adeptly arrived at Martin's room.
Maximilian raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door was opened from the inside.
Maximilian and Kaleb saw Patricia's swollen eyes.
It had been several hours since they left during the day, and her eyes were still swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying all the time.
Kaleb felt heartbroken; his eyes instantly moistened.
He tightly held Patricia's hand. ""Patricia, I'm sorry for all these years; I owe you too much. I'm sorry to you and your mother.""
Patricia instantly understood what was happening and looked to Maximilian for confirmation.
Maximilian nodded subtly.
Patricia shifted her gaze back to Kaleb, feeling guilty for deceiving him, but for Martin's sake, she had to continue the lie and pretend to be confused deliberately.
""What are you saying? I don't understand."" Patricia asked.
Kaleb embraced her, choking up, ""Patricia, I am your biological father; you are my daughter! I made you and your mother suffer so much these years.""
""Father?"" c questioned.
Being held by a stranger, Patricia felt uncomfortable and instinctively pushed him away, pretending to look puzzled.
""My father's name is Gavin Watson. You've got it wrong,"" Patricia said.
Kaleb handed the DNA test report to Patricia.
""For over twenty years, I have been searching for you and your mother, and today, Maximilian finally found you! The moment I found out you were my daughter, do you know how happy I was? So, I had Maximilian secretly conduct a DNA test with our hair. I was afraid of another misunderstanding; I have been disappointed too many times over the years. I also didn't want to cause you trouble before things were certain,"" Kaleb said.
Looking into his sincere and remorseful eyes, Patricia felt guilty and almost couldn't withstand to reveal the truth.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't bring herself to say them.
""Are you really my biological father?"" Patricia asked.
Kaleb nodded vigorously. ""Yes, without a doubt, I am truly your biological father; you are my daughter.""
Patricia parted her lips, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
At this moment, she felt no excitement or joy because the Koch family was her true family.
But Kaleb wasn't; it was all a meticulously planned deception from the beginning.
Seeing her expression of numb calmness, different from his excitement and joy, Kaleb felt despondent.
""Are you blaming me? Blaming me for abandoning you and your mother? I truly regret it; I don't ask for your forgiveness, but please give me a chance to make amends.""
Patricia stiffened her neck, remaining silent."
