Keon’s brows furrowed, his patience clearly running thin.
"No anesthesia, then. Are you deaf? Do it!"
The doctor turned to me instead.
I forced a bitter smile. “Go ahead.”
The paternity test would take a week. They had already been waiting eagerly for the results any delay would interfere with Kizzie’s auction plans. Why would they care about whether I suffered or not?
In the crowded hospital, people began whispering and pointing at me.
After collecting Keon’s hair sample, the doctor was about to wrap up when Keon dropped another bombshell.
"Take samples from my two brothers as well. Test all of us together."
The crowd erupted instantly.
"What the hell? This woman’s been messing around with three men?!"
"Why else would he bring his newly pregnant wife for a paternity test? He doesn’t even know if it’s his kid!"
"Her husband is tall and handsome, yet she still went out to cheat? If I were him, I’d beat her to death!"
The doctor seemed sympathetic earlier, but he looked at me like I had deceived him now. With no anesthesia, the sharp pain in my abdomen was unbearable. My vision went dark at the edges as hot tears slipped silently down my face.
