Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

They reached the hospital in no time.

Ms. Kyoko handed Chloe a file.

Both men-Connor and Lucas-stood close by, tension crackling in the air.

Connor looked confused, eyes darting between Lucas and the folder. He knew Lucas had a flight booked for late tonight—a red-eye out of the country. He'd assumed Lucas wouldn't dare reveal the test results before leaving.

But here Lucas was, standing tall and confident, waiting for all the truth to spill out before he even set foot on a plane.

Connor felt a chill of unease. He'd had people watching the hospital, tracking Lucas's every move. He'd even dug into Ms. Kyoko's background and found nothing-no connection to Lucas at all. If Lucas wanted to mess with the report, he shouldn't have had a single opportunity.

So why did Lucas look absolutely unbothered?

Chloe opened the file, flipping straight to the last page. Her face didn't show the slightest shock—just a deep, tired disappointment as she looked up at Connor.

Connor's stomach dropped. Something was seriously wrong.

He snatched the report from Chloe's hands.

And then he saw it-clear as day. Aaron and Chloe: biological mother and son.

"No. No way. This can't be right. Lucas, you tampered with this!" Connor blurted out, desperate for another answer.

It was the only thing that made sense. Lucas must have bought off someone at the lab, or swapped the samples, or-something. Was this even the right report? Maybe it was really Tim and Chloe's?

But how could Lucas have pulled that off with so much surveillance?

Connor had been certain he'd covered every angle. Yet Lucas stood there, cool

as ever, and spoke in Japanese, his tone sharp and sure.

"Mr. Connor, it's obvious who's been lying here."

Connor stepped forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar. "What did you do, Lucas? Tell me!"

Lucas just gave a mocking smile. "What, you want to hit me again?"

Chloe stepped in, her voice gentle but firm. "Mr. Connor, please let him go."

Connor's heart clenched. The DNA test had made Chloe choose and it wasn't him.

Lucas's tone was steady as he "Mr. Connor, haven't you noticed how Aaron looks like my wife? If he weren't her child, how could they possibly look so alike?

Lucas's words hit Connor like a thunderbolt.

Everyone had seen it before-how Summer, as a kid, had Chloe's eyes, that same bright, wide gaze.

But what did that even mean? Summer was Linda and Lucas's daughter. Linda had given birth to her, Lucas had been there from day one. Nothing could change that. Or so Connor thought.

But looking at the subtle triumph in Lucas's eyes, Connor felt the pieces shifting in

his mind. Maybe just maybe there was another explanation.

What if Linda had given birth to Chloe's child?

The thought scared even him. He let go of Lucas, his face a mix of shock, disbelief, and utter confusion.noveldrama

His words tumbled out, almost old-fashioned in their disbelief. "Lucas... Are you saying the baby Linda carried all those years ago was actually Chloe's child?"

Lucas paused, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He had to admit-Connor was sharp. In just a few minutes, he'd figured out the heart of it.

But how had he guessed?

Connor shook his head, looking back at Chloe and then at Lucas.

"Linda was obsessed with Chloe. She didn't love you. She just used you-she even drugged you to avoid being with you. She never wanted to have your child. She wanted a child with Chloe. And you said Summer was born via IVF. So Linda must have found a way to use Chloe's DNA to create the embryo, then carried the baby herself. So, even though she gave birth to the child, the DNA test would show Chloe as the biological mother. That's why the results look like this."
