Forsaking the Years of Longing novel Chapter 100

Chapter 24

Matthew stood frozen in place, Daphne's words echoing in his mind like a soft yet unyielding melody. Her voice, calm and resolute, pierced him, leaving a deep ache in his chest.

Without hesitation, Daphne turned and walked into the examination room to find Jonathan.

As night fell, the soft glow of the house lights spread warmth through every corner, attempting to ease the weight of the night's events.

Jonathan, who had never been seriously injured before, now bore a wound for Daphne's sake. The thought filled her with an indescribable guilt. Clutching his medical report, she read it intently.

Then, a line of text caught her eye: Blood Type: AB.

Daphne froze, her mind reeling. Looking up at Jonathan, who sat on the sofa with his usual warm smile, she felt her heart tighten.

"Brother.. I noticed your blood type is different from the rest of our family," she said, her voice trembling with shock and unease.

Jonathan leaned forward, frowning slightly. "What are you talking about?"

"You're AB blood type?" Daphne asked again, her tone more urgent now.

If both parents were O blood type, their children should also be O. This discrepancy made no sense.

Jonathan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "It must be a mistake from the hospital."

Just then, the door to the study opened, and their parents stepped into the living room.

Their expressions were complex, as though they had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

"Children, it seems you've already started to uncover the truth,"

Gracie said gently, her voice heavy with emotion.

"What truth, Mom?" Jonathan asked, confusion and unease clouding his face.

"Daphne, Jonathan," Bob began, his voice steady yet somber, "it's time we told you the truth. Jonathan, you. are not our biological son."

The words landed like a thunderclap, leaving Jonathan stunned.

He shot to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief.
