Chapter 91
Alastor shot Anastasia a quick glance, and she stood there all cool and collected as if nothing happened.
Alastor didn’t even bother to argue, which pretty much meant he was on board with what his mother said.
Felicia looked very excited as she eyed Alastor with happiness. “Hey, Alastor, I’ll handle taking care of Penelope.”
Felicia knew Alastor cared the most about his grandma, especially when she wasn’t feeling well.
Giving Felicia the duty of caring for Penelope was like giving her a gold star of approval about her status.
Anastasia’s fingers were clenched tightly, and her eyes turned red.
Felicia gave Anastasia a smug look and strutted into the room.
Anastasia’s throat felt parched as she turned her gaze to Alastor. “I’ll just pop in to check on Grandma Andrea… Then I’ll take
off.”
In the Gunn family, the only one who treated Anastasia decently was Penelope.
Anastasia was grateful for that.
“What are you staring at? Hurry up and take the DNA paternity test,” Naomi barked at Anastasia. “We’ll talk further after the results are out.”
“Alastor, I’ve got everything set up. Let’s get her in for the DNA paternity test,” Naomi commanded him, ready to send Anastasia on her way for the DNA paternity test,
“We’ll have the results in about three hours. Until then, she’s not allowed to see your grandma.” Naomi’s face was serious.
“I’m not feeling well today. Can we discuss this another time?” Anastasia calmly replied, attempting to navigate her way into
the ward
Naomi blocked Anastasia’s path and gave her a slight push.
Anastasia stumbled and nearly fell.
Although Alastor moved reflexively as if to catch Anastasia, he quickly restrained himself after coming back to his senses.
Anastasia let out a bitter chuckle as she took a step back. “Well, since your mom isn’t too keen on me visiting Grandma Andrea, I’ll just leave now.”
“Leaving already? Are you trying to delay things? I think you’re just feeling guilty! You have to go and take the DNA paternity test today! If we find out that the child in your womb isn’t part of the Lopez family, you’ll get it!” Naomi accused Anastasia while gritting her teeth.
Anastasia shook off Naomi’s hand and turned to leave.
“Stop her!” Naomi said angrily.
Steven and a few bodyguards who were waiting on a bench stood up and blocked Anastasia’s
Anastasia clenched her hands and looked at Alastor. “You tricked me into coming here, didn’t you? It’s not about Grandma Andrea… You’re forcing me to take the DNA paternity test?”
Last night she had bleeding and was hospitalized. Even if the fetus was okay, the doctor said she needed proper rest, otherwise, the fetus might not make it.
“I did promise I would do it. Do we really have to rush it?” Anastasia choked up.
Alastor didn’t say anything. He just furrowed his brow.
“What you’re doing is illegal. You’re restricting my freedom. I can report you.” Anastasia pulled out her phone, intending to call the authorities.
“Anastasia, why the act? It’s pretty clear you’re feeling guilty. If you’re not scared, the DNA paternity test should work in your favor. But you’re just scared,” Steven taunted, snatching Anastasia’s phone away.
Anastasia reached out, wanting to retrieve her phone. “Give it back!”
“See, Alastor, she’s scared. She knows the kid isn’t yours. Just like I said, right?” Steven taunted.
Alastor looked at Anastasia. “How long do you want to drag this out?”
Anastasia looked at Alastor in disbelief. Had he really agreed to all of this? “Yesterday, I had bleeding and was hospitalized. You know what the doctor said. Can’t we wait a bit? The amniotic fluid test could harm the child!”
“Quite the actress, huh?” Steven sneered.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Anastasia’s phone rang. It was Jason.
Steven glanced at her, his anger evident. “So cozy with your new boyfriend, huh?”
Alastor’s expression changed too. “I asked the doctor before. The DNA paternity test won’t harm the child.”
Anastasia weakly lowered her head and let out a laugh.
It seemed like everything she said was futile.
It looked like there was no way around the DNA paternity test today.
Otherwise, Alastor wasn’t going to let this go easily.
“Alastor…”
“Get out! I already have a granddaughter-in-law, and it’s Anastasia. Tell this girl to leave!” Andrea’s angry voice came from the hospital room.
There was also Felicia’s voice, sounding aggrieved.
Alastor hurried into the room.
One could tell he was quite worried about Felicia.
“Where’s Annie? Alastor, what’s going on? What’s up with this woman? Why does she think she’s your girlfriend? Let me tell you, I’m not approving of this!” Andrea was quite upset.
“Grandma Andrea, Anastasia and Alastor…”
“Out.” Felicia tried to say something, only to be silenced by Alastor’s cold voice.
Felicia bit her lip, walking out begrudgingly.
Sooner or later, she would take the position of his wife.
Steven had made it clear that Anastasia had to take the DNA paternity test today.
Felicia had already arranged everything. She was planning to tamper with the DNA paternity test and examination process to make Anastasia lose the child.
“Grandma, Annie isn’t feeling well, so she can’t come to take care of you,” Alastor reassured Andrea. “I’m taking her for a check-up, and we’ll be back to see you this afternoon, okay?”
Andrea’s emotions settled down. “Sure, go ahead. Take care of Anastasia and the baby. She’s pregnant.”
Alastor nodded.
Naomi seemed like she wanted to say something a few times, but Alastor’s gaze frightened her off.
They were definitely going to keep Andrea in the dark until the DNA paternity test results were out.
As they left the room, Alastor’s cold gaze landed on Anastasia. “Time for the DNA paternity test.”
“Where do I have to do it?” Anastasia’s voice came out hoarse.
“Right here in this hospital at the genetics testing department,” Steven chimed in.
“I don’t agree. I’m not comfortable doing it here. Anastasia refused.
She was not an idiot.
She couldn’t guarantee that Felicia and Steven wouldn’t tamper with the results.
“Do you tone.
think
you can call the shots here? Do you think you’re the one in control?” Alastor’s voice took on a threatening
