Chapter 873:
Turning her attention fully to Caylee, she said gently, “We’ve been through this. Stick to the plan. Follow through with what Gorman tells you. Your grandmother’s surgery needs to happen without delay.”
Caylee shook her head hard, tears clinging to her lashes. “But Zander’s still with Collin. We can’t just leave him.”
“If we brought him back now, I’d feel even less secure,” Linsey replied quietly. Her fingers trailed over Zenia’s cheek with care. “Help me pack.
Dolores found a new place. We’ll check out and move tonight.”
Back at Collin’s place, Dustin entered with an envelope in hand—the test results. Collin didn’t glance up right away. He was seated on the floor, deeply focused on building a plastic block tower with Zander. Though barely half an hour had passed, Collin was already impressed by the kid’s sharp mind.
The toy set was meant for much older kids, but Zander maneuvered the pieces with a level of ease and logic that spoke volumes.
Whoever raised him had done an exceptional job.
“Collin, here it is. The results came in.” Without hesitation, Dustin moved closer and passed the envelope to Collin.
Normally, it would have taken days before a test like this came back. But this wasn’t a typical case—the request had come from the founder of CR Corporation, and the lab responded accordingly, putting everything aside to fast-track the results with absolute precision.
Collin had expected anxiety to hit him the moment the envelope reached his hands. Oddly enough, a strange stillness took over instead. Maybe, deep down, he had already accepted the truth—that this boy was his.

With measured patience, he flipped through the pages until his eyes landed on the final result. Across from him, Dustin studied Collin’s face, searching for some clue. When none came, he assumed the test had ruled out a connection and felt an unexpected twinge of regret.
“So… it’s not a match?” he asked, disappointment evident in his voice.
“He’s mine,” Collin said quietly, as if confirming something he had always known.
Dustin stood frozen, caught off guard by the answer. His eyes blinked rapidly, struggling to catch up—until a grin stretched across his face. “You’re serious? This little guy is actually yours? That’s wild!” Without a word, Collin extended the document to him, offering silent confirmation.
With barely contained excitement, Dustin rifled through the pages, his enthusiasm bubbling over like a proud parent reading their own child’s name in print.
“Wow, Collin, I still can’t believe it—you actually have a kid!” Dustin exclaimed.noveldrama
On the floor nearby, Zander paused, his gaze bouncing between the two adults. “What are you talking about, sir?” he asked Collin, brows furrowing in confusion.
Dustin leaned forward, ready to fill him in. “Calling him sir? You ought to—”
Before the words fully left his mouth, Collin interjected calmly, “We’re just discussing something work-related.”
