PART 2 — THE CHILD WAS RELATED TO MICHAEL
The room became completely silent.
Esther stared at the doctor.
What do you mean the baby is related to Michael?
The doctor placed the report on the table.
The test shows that Michael is not the biological father.
But the baby shares genetic markers with someone from Michael’s immediate family.
Michael looked at his sister.
What does that mean?
She immediately stood up.
This test must be wrong.
The doctor shook his head.
We repeated it twice.
Esther looked at Michael.
You accused me of betraying you.
Michael could not answer.
His sister suddenly started crying.
Esther noticed.
Why are you crying?
The woman wiped her face.
I know something about this baby.
Michael turned toward her.
What do you know?
She refused to speak.
Esther stood up.
You brought me here to prove I was lying.
Now tell me the truth.
Finally, the woman whispered:
The baby may not be Michael’s…
but he may be my brother’s son.
Michael stared at her.
I am your only brother.
His sister looked terrified.
Exactly.
Esther’s heart began pounding.
Then who is the child’s father?
The doctor looked at the test again.
There was one more possibility.
