Chapter 187: Paternity Test

God helps those who work hard.
Late in the evening, a mother and daughter appeared at the front door. The young mother was wearing a white cotton dress and had slightly curly hair like seaweed. A diamond hairpin at her temple made her look as innocent as a young girl.
And in her arms was a little girl. The little girl buried her face in her shoulder, as if she was already asleep, making it impossible to see her face.
She was also wearing a similar dress and a small white hair clip, but her hair was chestnut.
Huo Zhou looked at Qiao An, stunned.
After not seeing her for three years, the flat-bodied dried-up beauty in his memory had actually become so curvaceous. She was simply beautiful.
He seemed to understand why Huo Xiaoran was so deeply poisoned by Qiao An.
“Xiaoran, it’s Qiao An,” Huo Zhou told Huo Xiaoran excitedly.
However, Huo Xiaoran was so nervous and excited that she didn’t know what to do.
“Hurry up and go down,” Huo Zhou urged.
Huo Xiaoran didn’t care. He pushed open the car door and strode after Qiao An and her daughter.
“An’an.” Just as Qiao An was about to enter the door, Huo Xiaoran suddenly grabbed her hand and his tall and slender body appeared in front of her.
Qiao An was stunned. Her first reaction was to escape, but Huo Xiaoran’s big pincer-like hand gripped her arm tightly.
......
She calmed down later. Fortunately, she had brought Joey out today. If it wasn’t KiKi, Huo Xiaoran shouldn’t have been able to tell.
“Qiao An, I have something to ask you,” Huo Xiaoran pleaded.
Qiao An’s face was cold and impatient. “If you have something to say, say it.”
Huo Xiaoran gently stroked Joey’s hair and asked with a trembling voice, “An’an, this child is ours, right?”
Qiao An shuddered.
Good things never leave the house, but bad things spread far and wide. How did Huo Xiaoran know that she had a child so quickly?
Qiao An sneered. “Huo Xiaoran, what makes you think I’ll have your child?”
She hated seeing Huo Xiaoran’s doting expression towards the child. If he really had feelings for the child, how could he bear to plot that car accident three years ago to kill her?
As a doctor, didn’t he know that a pregnancy injury was fatal to a child?
It was a miracle that the children had survived in good health.
A painful expression appeared on Huo Xiaoran’s face. He begged Qiao An humbly, “An’an, they all told me. This child is already two and a half years old. Whose can it be?”
Qiao An said angrily, “Huo Xiaoran, don’t think too highly of yourself. I’ll say it again. This child is not related to you in any way.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “An’an, you can’t deprive me of my duty as a father. You’re too cruel to the child and me.”
Qiao An was furious. “Cruel? What you did to me is cruel. Huo Xiaoran, if you have any conscience, don’t disturb my life.”
Huo Xiaoran saw the disdain on Qiao An’s face and his heart was bleeding.
“If you hate me so much, you shouldn’t have provoked me in the first place. Qiao An,” he murmured weakly.
Qiao An said, “I’ve long regretted it. Huo Xiaoran, if I could turn back time, I really wouldn’t want to know you.”
Huo Xiaoran’s body seemed to have been filled with ice, and he was so cold that he felt as if he had fallen into ice.
His hand released Qiao An weakly.
Qiao An wanted to leave, but Huo Zhou suddenly blocked her way.
Huo Zhou’s tone was not as gentle as Huo Xiaoran’s. He was high and mighty, like an emperor looking down on ants. “Qiao An, don’t be shameless. My Xiaoran is too polite to you, right?”
“Huo Zhou,” Huo Xiaoran berated Huo Zhou.
Huo Zhou’s attitude improved slightly. He said coldly to Qiao An, “If this child is of the Huo family’s bloodline, there’s no reason for her to wander outside. Moreover, Qiao An, she would be happier staying in the Huo family than staying with you.”
Qiao An was stunned. She suddenly pulled a strand of Joey’s hair and handed it to Huo Zhou. “Take it for a paternity test. If you’re still interested in raising my daughter after the results are out, you can talk to me then.”
With that, Qiao An carried Joey away.
Huo Zhou looked at the hair in his hand in a daze. “She gave us hair so easily? Is this child really not yours?”
Huo Xiaoran pulled out a strand of hair and handed it to Huo Zhou. “Do a paternity test.”
After the results of the paternity test were out, Huo Xiaoran was almost on the verge of collapse.
The conclusion actually showed that the paternity relationship was invalid.
Huo Xiaoran fell from heaven to hell again.
He felt terrible.
Qiao An had a child, but the child’s father wasn’t him. This fact severely injured him.
Huo Zhou kept persuading Huo Xiaoran, “Xiaoran, you should give up on her. She’s already having a child with another man. You really have no hope. Hurry up and find a good woman to start a family. If you like children, there will be many women who are willing to give birth to your children.”
Angel Qiao’s adorable face appeared in Huo Xiaoran’s mind. He thought that if it were another woman, she wouldn’t be able to give birth to such a cute child.
He felt some regret. Qiao An had protected the child so tightly that he hadn’t even seen her face. He felt sorry for this meeting.
But if he probed carefully, what was there to regret? The little girl was not his daughter to begin with. So what if she was rare?
Qiao An’s appearance was like a wild goose that disappeared without a trace after a gentle ripple on the calm lake.
However, Huo Xiaoran was often in a daze.
He also secretly convinced himself to forget Qiao An. Even if she was inches away from him, her heart was separated from him by mountains.
They could not go back in time.
It was also at this juncture that Lu Mo’s cancer suddenly worsened.
When Huo Xiaoran received this news, he felt extremely guilty.
He hated himself for being unable to give Lu Mo happiness.
She clearly loved him so much and with all her heart, but he resisted her approach. This damn mysophobia had hurt Lu Mo’s heart.
When Huo Xiaoran received the news, he rushed to the hospital. When Mrs. Lu saw Huo Xiaoran, she immediately pounced over and clenched her fists so tightly that they were as loud as thunder. She knocked on his heart softly and complained, “Xiaoran, Xiaoran, my Momo loves you so much. Why can’t you give her ant response? She’s aggrieved and not happy at all. How can her illness not worsen?”
Huo Xiaoran also condemned himself. Why did he have to hurt someone who was sincerely good to him?
“Auntie, after Momo’s condition stabilizes, I’ll hold an engagement banquet with her.”
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed. Her eyes were red. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll choose a date for you later.”
“Yes,” Huo Xiaoran said with mixed feelings.
Lu Mo’s illness came fiercely.
