I collapse onto the cold hospital bench, my face buried in my hands as sob wrack my body. The antiseptic smell of the emergency room corridor burns my nostrils, but it\u2019s nothing compared to the pain tearing through my heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop that crying. You have no right,\u201d Jonathan hisses, his voice low but cutting. He towers over me, eyes flashing with barely contained rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis entire disaster is your doing. A perfectly orchestrated birthday celebration, multiple business deals in the pipeline\u2013all destroyed because\u00a0<\/p>\n
of your foolishness!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I look up at him through tear\u2013blurred eyes. \u201cOur daughter is fighting for her life in there, and all you care about is business? That monster\u00a0<\/p>\n
nearly killed our Selena! How can you be so heartless?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The image of Selena lying on blood\u2013soaked sheets haunts me. My beautiful daughter, my precious child\u2013violated and broken. I feel as though\u00a0<\/p>\n
someone has carved out a piece of my heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A nurse emerges from the emergency room, her face grave as she approaches us. \u201cFamily of Selena Wright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I scramble to my feet. \u201cYes, that\u2019s us. How is she?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patient has severe internal trauma and significant blood loss. We need to operate immediately.\u201d The nurse\u2019s clinical tone shifts to something more judgmental. \u201cI have to say, the damage suggests extremely\u2026 vigorous activity. Young people these days need to exercise more restraint. This kind of physical trauma can have permanent reproductive consequences. Does she want to have children someday or not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sway on my feet, gripping Jonathan\u2019s arm for support. \u201cWhat do you mean reproductive consequences? There must be some mistake!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nurse\u2019s eyes narrow. \u201cYour daughter has had multiple terminated pregnancies before. The medical record shows at least two procedures. Combined with tonight\u2019s injuries, the damage to her reproductive system is likely permanent. Now, please go handle the paperwork so we can\u00a0<\/p>\n
get her into surgery immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I feel the floor tilting beneath me. \u201cPrevious pregnancies? That\u2019s impossible\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jonathan\u2019s face drains of color. \u201cWhen did Selena have abortions? Why wasn\u2019t I informed of this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t answer him. I can only weep harder, the weight of my failure crushing me. My daughter is ruined, and it\u2019s my fault. I pushed her into\u00a0<\/p>\n
this situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A commotion erupts at the end of the hallway. Suddenly, the corridor fills with reporters, microphones thrust forward like weapons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Wright, what\u2019s your daughter\u2019s condition?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Wright, how do you explain Selena\u2019s two abortions during college?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow will this scandal affect Wright Creatives\u2018 upcoming projects?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it true Sterling Design Group pulled their collaboration after tonight\u2019s events?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jonathan\u2019s face hardens into a mask of fury as camera flashes blind us. I feel myself slipping away, darkness creeping in from the edges of my vision. The last thing I hear is Jonathan barking at the reporters to leave as my body crumples to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

** Setely still on the hospital chair, the crisp paper trembling slightly between my small fingers. My eyes keep returning to the same line at the bottom of the document:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Probability of maternity: 99.99%\u00a0<\/p>\n
fans Shrugs 1.4 suspected it, seeing the scientific confirmation that Cedar Wright is my mother sends a shock through my body. The evidence\u00a0<\/p>\n
saute the woman Oliver has been calling Mommy\u2018 truly is our mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over won\u2019t making things up. I was the fool who took too long to see what was right in front of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henderson Bries down the corridor toward me, h\u00fas tall frame bending slightly as he approaches. \u201cYoung Master, reporters have suddenly\u00a0<\/p>\n
flooded the hospital\u00a0<\/p>\n
1 fold the DNA test results carefully and tuck them into my jacket pocket. How did they find out? This testing was done with the utmost\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henderson shakes his head. \u201cIt\u2019s not about us, sir. It\u2019s about the Wright family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Wrighes? My eyebrows knit together. \u201cThey were hosting Mr. Wright\u2019s birthday celebration tonight. What happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I made inquiries, sir. Selena Wright is in the emergency room, Henderson lowers his voice. \u201cFrom what I gather, she brought this upon herself. # your father hadn\u2019t intervened, it would have been your birth mother in that emergency room instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
