Chapter 637 Going for Identification.
"Time seemed to freeze.
Everyone was stunned, quietly watching the scene unfold, momentarily forgetting how to react.
In the moment Patricia fell into Billy's arms, a familiar feeling washed over her, a fleeting thought crossing her mind. Before she could grasp it, Martin and Patricia were the first to react.
Patricia's immediate response was to jump down from Billy's arms.
As she jumped down, Martin came over and pulled her to his side, thanking Billy with a fist bump. ""Thank you for saving my wife.""
There was no hint of change in Billy's expression, as he casually replied, ""It's nothing, I am the host, if a guest is in trouble, my father would definitely break my legs.""
Implying that saving Patricia was his duty.
Lisa also recovered from her surprise, smiling and saying, ""My brother is right, you are guests, even if we siblings get hurt, we shouldn't let you get harmed.""
Martin remained calm, stating, ""No one should get into trouble, no matter who they are.""
Lisa nodded vigorously, saying with a smile, ""Yes, no one should get into trouble.""
Patricia looked at the apples on the tree, pouting. ""Still couldn't pick them, I suggest we find a ladder! I don't believe that we can't obtain them .""
Martin rubbed her head gently, saying softly, ""I just mentioned it casually, it's not a must-have! Forget it, let's go pick some oranges!""
At the mention of oranges, Patricia's eyes lit up instantly.
She loved eating oranges, crisp and sweet.
Martin asked Lisa, ""Lisa, where can we find a ladder around here?""
Lisa pointed to a small wooden house not far away. ""For convenience in picking, we have many tools stored in that small wooden house, including a ladder.""
Ryan sighed, ""If that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? Patricia wouldn't have fallen from the tree.""
Lisa scratched her head apologetically. ""I'm sorry, I forgot in the rush.""
Ryan fell silent.
To forget such an important thing.
Speechless.
Martin took Patricia's hand. ""Let's go, we'll get some fruit-picking tools from the small wooden house.""
Patricia smiled sweetly. ""Okay!""
The two walked hand in hand towards the small wooden house.
As they passed by Billy, his gaze unconsciously drifted to their clasped hands.
Ryan followed closely behind.
Lisa and Maximilian walked behind Ryan.
Billy stood still for a while, watching them get farther away before hurrying to catch up.
The group found fruit-picking tools in the small wooden house, including scissors, a ladder, a basket, and gloves. After gearing up, they returned to the orange tree.
Ryan chuckled. ""Patricia, do you really have to pick those oranges?""
Patricia rubbed her nose. ""My husband wants to eat them, so I have to pick them no matter what. Help me stabilize the ladder, don't let me fall, or Martin will definitely punish you.""
""Okay!"" Ryan glanced at her, speechless. "" I know you two are close, but consider us single folks too!""
Although he complained, he held the ladder firmly.
Maximilian, fearing Patricia might fall, hurried to support the ladder.
With the ladder and scissors in hand, the fruit-picking task was much smoother this time.
With a snap, the chosen orange was successfully picked.
Patricia climbed down the ladder with the orange, extremely happy, offering it to Martin as if presenting a treasure. ""Honey, I picked an orange for you!""
Touched, Martin brushed off a dry leaf from her head, saying happily, ""Thank you, Patricia.""
Patricia placed the orange in the basket. ""I'll wash my hands later and peel the orange for you.""
""Great!"" Martin nodded, then turned to Ryan. ""Go pick some oranges, she loves them.""
Although annoyed by their public display of affection, Ryan obediently carried the ladder to the orange tree to pick oranges to please Patricia.
Patricia washed an orange with mineral water, took a bite herself, then offered it to Martin. ""Try it, it's sweet.""
Martin took a bite, a gentle smile forming on his lips.
""Yes! It's indeed sweet.""
In reality, he didn't like oranges, finding them oddly flavored.
But at that moment, he couldn't taste the oddness, only the refreshing sweetness.
Patricia took another bite, then offered it to Martin again.
They continued this back and forth, enjoying the sweetness.
Onlookers observed their affection with warmth.
Ryan looked on in disbelief and envy.
Happy times always passed quickly, and time flew by unnoticed.
They lost track of time until the Hill family's butler called them for lunch, prompting them to return on a golf cart.
As they reached the entrance, a strong medicinal smell greeted them.
Soon after, Kaleb's voice came from behind, ""You're back just in time, I've prepared the medicine, Martin, come over and drink!""
Patricia took the initiative, bringing a cup of water to him, testing the temperature before offering it to Martin. ""Hurry and drink!""
Martin lowered his head to drink the water and medicine.
At that moment, Joe and Susan walked over from behind Kaleb.
S eeing the scene, Joe couldn't help but chuckle. ""Kaleb, the bond between this couple is really strong.""
Kaleb nodded with satisfaction. ""Yes! I also think their bond is strong, I hope it stays that way in the future.""
Joe smiled and didn't say more.
If only Patricia were Kaleb's biological daughter, that would be great.
Such a family atmosphere would be good for Kaleb too.
Hopefully Billy misunderstood.
But nothing should go wrong.
The atmosphere during the meal was also very pleasant.
Everyone chatted and laughed, occasionally erupting in joyful laughter.
After lunch, Kaleb excused himself, citing Martin's need for rest due to illness.
In fact, it wasn't an excuse, Martin truly needed rest to avoid overexertion.
As they left, Joe quickly packed the cups used by Kaleb and Patricia in plastic bags and handed them to Billy, saying, ""Remember, this is crucial, don't mess it up.""
Billy assured him, ""I'll handle it, you can trust me!""
Joe patted his shoulder solemnly. ""I can see how happy Kaleb is, if this turns out to be a scam, it would be too cruel to him.""
After a moment of silence, Billy comforted, ""Although cruel, it's better than living a lie forever! Wait for me, I'll quickly bring back the results.""
""Okay!""
Billy took the bag of cups and drove himself to the paternity testing center."
