The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!
Chapter 217 - Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Could Han Bao Be My Son

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Could Han Bao Be My Son? Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Could Han Bao Be My Son? Huo Tingdong said, “She took you to do such a test without my consent?”

In his heart, he had already acknowledged Momo as his own son; there was no need for that unnecessary test.

This Old Lady always makes decisions on her own!

Lin Qi said, “Huo Tingdong, it’s okay, Momo and I are both willing to do it. Now, our samples have been submitted to the identification agency. Whether he is really your biological son, whether I am deceiving you or not, it will be clear soon. I’m not afraid, let’s just test it. All I want to know now is, what do you plan to do about Song Shuyan’s affair?”

Huo Tingdong indifferently said, “That child can’t possibly be mine; I haven’t touched her with a finger.”

His indifferent expression seemed to be sure enough that the child in Song Shuyan’s womb had nothing to do with him.

After speaking, the man returned to his desk.

Lin Qi walked over nervously, her hands bracing on his desk, “Back then, when you were lying in bed as a vegetable, in a coma, you hadn’t touched a finger either, but the Old Madam had me undergo IVF, and didn’t I still give birth to Momo? Just because you haven’t touched her doesn’t mean the child in her belly isn’t yours!”

Huo Tingdong looked up, his eyes showing a slight change, “So?”

Lin Qi said, “It’s better to deal with this matter sooner rather than later! Your grandmother said that Song Shuyan just registered her pregnancy and is over 12 weeks pregnant. If we wait for her to have an amniotic fluid test for paternity, that would be after five months of pregnancy. By then, if the paternity test comes out and the child is yours, what will you do? Her belly will be much bigger, and it will be a lot more dangerous to do anything then.”

Huo Tingdong said, “Are you suggesting I force her to terminate the pregnancy now?”

Lin Qi was taken aback, “Otherwise, how do we deal with it?”

Huo Tingdong said, “I asked her, and she wouldn’t tell me who the child’s father is. If it were mine, she would definitely have told me when I asked.”

Lin Qi became anxious, “What if she’s lying to you? Her refusal to tell proves even more that she feels guilty inside, knowing that if she tells you now, you will force her to terminate. But if she doesn’t say anything, then you have no right or qualifications to press her. She’s just biding her time until the pregnancy is further along, and then she won’t be willing to terminate at all.”

Huo Tingdong counterquestioned, “What if the child in her belly is someone else’s?”

Lin Qi was stunned again.

Huo Tingdong said, “I’ve tried to make her terminate the pregnancy. But she won’t, she’s unwilling, she’s even threatening her own life over it. Do you really want me to force her?”

Lin Qi’s eyelid twitched, growing more suspicious that there was something fishy about the child in Song Shuyan’s womb.

Her going abroad a few months ago and suddenly returning with a noticeable pregnancy was suspicious enough.

On top of that…

She absolutely refuses to reveal who the father of the child is. As the mother of the child, how could she not know?

There’s only one possibility…

She doesn’t want to tell because she’s afraid of the consequences of doing so.

Lin Qi said, “Huo Tingdong, you can’t drag this out. I ask you, if the child in her womb is yours, will you let her give birth?”

Huo Tingdong’s expression instantly darkened.

He leaned back in his chair, his slender fingers massaging the bridge of his nose, rubbing his temples irritably, “I’ve already made my stance clear on this. If the child in her belly is mine, I cannot acknowledge it.”

Lin Qi said, “Your grandmother said that as long as the child is yours, the Huo Family will acknowledge and raise it.”

Huo Tingdong asked, “You suspect that she secretly underwent IVF?”

Lin Qi nodded.

Huo Tingdong said, “I won’t hide it from you; indeed, I had my sperm frozen when I was in a vegetative state, but not long ago, I had them all destroyed. A count was done on the samples, and only one vial was missing. How and when that vial went missing, I am still investigating.”

He looked up at Lin Qi, not intending to conceal from her, “I suspect that seven years ago, someone stole my sperm sample and used it for IVF to give birth to Han. After all, I was on the brink of death at that time, the doctors all declared that I might never wake up in this lifetime. Whoever could give birth to an heir of the Huo Family would be able to claim a share of the Huo Family’s inheritance. It’s not excluded that some woman with ulterior motives took a risky path, wanting to use my child to seek assets from the Huo Family.”

Lin Qi froze in shock.

Huo Tingdong continued, “However, maybe that woman, after giving birth to Han, thought Han was mentally challenged and abandoned him. I mentioned before that I don’t want to look into Han’s past anymore, it’s because I’ve already come to this conclusion. It doesn’t matter who Han’s mother is, what matters is that I am Han’s father, there is no question about that, and you, will be the only mother Han has.”

Implicitly, only one vial was missing from the freezer.

If this vial had been stolen by Song Shuyan, then how did Han come about?

Lin Qi asked, “What if that one vial was taken away by Song Shuyan?”

Huo Tingdong counterquestioned, “Then who gave birth to Han?”

Lin Qi furrowed her brows, as if a streak of white light flashed across her mind.

Han and Momo were the same age, and although one looked like Huo Tingdong and the other like her, many times the two children showed an unusual understanding and synchrony, resembling real brothers in the finer details.

Considering that her eldest son was taken away by Zheng Xuanyi at birth and his whereabouts are still unknown, and that Han was brought back from the orphanage by Huo Tingdong…

Zheng Xuanyi was involved in child trafficking.

Lin Qi also recalled the time at the welfare institution; a teacher had revealed that someone had called the welfare institution wanting to take Han back, although this matter was not followed up later, it…

With all these coincidences, she found it hard not to speculate.

She suddenly stood up straight, her head lowered, lost in thought.

Seeing the change in her expression, Huo Tingdong asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Lin Qi mumbled in disbelief, “Huo Tingdong… I am wondering, could Han be the child I have been looking for?”

The moment she spoke, Huo Tingdong was taken aback as well.

He immediately dismissed the possibility, “Impossible, remember? I’ve done paternity tests between you and Han already, there is no blood relation between you.”

Lin Qi heard this and looked deflated, “Are you sure? The paternity tests between Han and me show no blood relation?”

Huo Tingdong stated, “I had it done in the laboratory, there is no possibility of a mistake.”

Lin Qi asked, “Should we do it again?”

She truly suspected that Han could be the child she had been looking for all along, Momo’s brother!

Huo Tingdong hesitated for a few seconds, “If you want to test, then let’s test again.”

He had no reason to refuse.

Lin Qi said, “Actually, there’s no need for another blood draw. You should have Han’s sample, and I just had blood drawn at the identification agency. You just need to send over Han’s sample, and then the results will be directly available.”
