Chapter 36

It was as though he was poking Artemis' heart with a needle. Even though Artemis did not feel any pain, it was utterly unbearable for him. He felt like he was suffocating, as if someone was gripping his throat.

At that very moment, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped drastically again. Justin could not restrain himself from touching the tip of his nose before piping up, “That boy is not Edmund's biological son.”

In an instant, Artemis shot him a penetrating gaze. His tone was stern as he demanded, “What did you say?”

Justin quirked his brows. Aha! My instinct is proven right! The tyrant has seemingly taken a fancy to Bailey and is thinking of pursuing her, but he can only dismiss the idea because of Edmund. Undeniably, it's inappropriate to eye a woman his cousin is in love with. If that boy is truly Edmund's flesh and blood, our Mr. Luther can only lick his wounds silently then. After all, he knows he shouldn't have designs on his buddies' women. Needless to say, it would be different if that woman had never indulged in intimacy with Edmund before and borne him a child.

“I called you over to tell you something about the paternity test. Someone hacked into my computer and amended the result.” Justin cut the crap.

Artemis knitted his brows instantaneously. He was the one who created Justin's medical system. Shielded by layers of firewall, it was almost impossible for anyone to hack into it. Unless it's a top-notch international hacker... Could it be Spook?

“Bring your laptop over to me. I need to check on that myself,” Artemis requested solemnly.

Justin replied placidly, “You can do that some other time. That's not the important point here and not what I wanted to talk to you about.”

At this point, he paused as his expression turned odd.

Displeased with his hesitation, Artemis snapped grimly, “What the heck is going on? Cut to the chase!”

Justin raised his head to gulp down his glass of red wine before he turned to walk toward the desk. Then, he reprinted a copy of the paternity test result.

Artemis followed behind Justin and stretched out his hand to snatch the printed copy from him. Even though he did not have any expertise in the medical field, he could still understand fundamental medical terms.

Pointing at one of the sections in the copy, he questioned, “What does this mean?”

Heaving a sigh, Justin elucidated slowly, “You don't need to doubt yourself. That's exactly what you think it means. Let me put it this way. That boy is related to Edmund, but he's not Edmund's biological son. In other words, the boy could be his brother or sister's son. In conclusion, they are blood-related or known as intergenerational blood relatives. Do you get it now?”
