Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

There was a hospital near the Herculy Restaurant. Since Lester had previously arranged for the DNA test to be done there, the director politely greeted Tyler when he arrived and then courteously ushered him in.

After all, the Pliskin family was one of the top four financial conglomerates. They couldn’t afford to offend them.

Before the test, Tyler made a trip to the restroom.

Upon coming out of the restroom, he encountered a doctor in the hallway.

The doctor, dressed in a white coat, was on the phone, talking about how a recent family issue had cost a lot of money to resolve, leaving him in debt and without a penny to spare.

Tyler overheard that but didn’t pay much attention until he caught a glimpse of hair samples in the doctor’s hand.

Each of these hair samples was carefully placed in individual transparent small bags.

Tyler thought, ‘Those bags… They look very familiar!’

His eyes widened in shock as he wondered, ‘Aren’t these the same as the hair samples Lester gave me? Could it be…that Lester had asked another doctor to do the DNA test for Ashley?’

As the doctor was about to pass by, Tyler quickly intercepted him and noticed the doctor’s name tag that read “Gary Baldwin.”

“Dr. Baldwin.” Tyler greeted politely with a smile and continued, “The hair samples you’re holding, they’re for a paternity test, right?”

Gary gave Tyler a strange look. “Why do you ask?”

Tyler replied politely with a smile, “You’re holding hair samples, and as fellow doctors, of course I can tell they’re probably for a paternity test.”

With that, Gary chuckled naively, “You have guessed it right. They’re indeed for a paternity test.”

However, Gary’s right hand, tucked in his coat pocket, was holding a recording pen.

The pen was in recording mode, secretly capturing their entire conversation.
