The DNA Test That Backfired Chapter 12 After everyone was gone, only the three of us remained in the dining room. Zane’s mother came over and gripped my hand, tears streaming down her face. “Arlette, I was wrong. I almost believed her.” She choked on her words. “That child saved Zane’s life.” “You kept this

The DNA Test That Backfired Chapter 11 No one in the room spoke. Zane’s father sank back into his chair, looking as if he couldn’t process what he’d heard. Zane’s mother was openly weeping.

The DNA Test That Backfired Chapter 10 I stared at him. “You even said I planned all of this, that I wanted to use this child to control you.” “Now you see who’s only alive today because of him.” I didn’t want to leave any room for doubt, so I took out my phone and

The DNA Test That Backfired Chapter 09 Everyone in the room was frozen. “An infant’s liver has a strong regenerative capacity,” I continued. “The doctors removed only a small portion for the transplant.
