Even After Death

Wayne's expression fell as if he had heard a joke. "Dr. Fordham, are you kidding me?"

Olivia appeared serious. "Do you think I'd joke about something serious?"

She wasn't that kind of person. However, Wayne couldn't fully trust her. She had lied to him twice!

"Once my curse is lifted, we can figure this out. Take a DNA test, and we'll know the truth." Olivia walked away with Willow in her arms.

Wayne was left all alone in confusion.

Olivia's words kept ringing in his ears. "You and Ethan are cousins."

He couldn't believe it. Wayne and Ethan had been fighting with each other for half of their lives. They had even nearly killed each other. Not once, but several times!

Now, Olivia was telling him that he had been trying to murder his family.

When Alan and Ike showed up, they saw Wayne's blank face. His eyes were widened as he stood still at the same spot.

Alan nudged at his brother. "Is he caught off-guard by the rejection or what?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that it's useless? Even though she's divorced, look at how many kids she has. She even had them after the divorce. Who would have kids with their ex-husband if they've fallen out of love? Not to mention that she has four!

"She has never once gotten over Ethan. What does this make Mr. Maxwell?" Ike had always been blunt with his words.

He crossed his arms and continued, "A peacock that got ahead of itself. And he made fruit yogurt? Wow, this has to be the joke of the universe!"

Alan glared at him. "Hush it, Ike! No wonder you've been single for years. No one will ever fall for you because of your sharp tongue."

Ike snorted. "So what if you know how to sweet talk? You're single too. Stop saying like you're any different."

Feeling helpless, Alan decided not to fight with his brother. He would never win verbally.

He came up to Wayne. "Mr. Maxwell, what are you standing there for? Did Dr. Fordham reject you?"

Wayne's expression held solemnity. "She must be lying."

Still, she didn't have to make up a man's name like that. It bothered him so much. "Look into Wendell."

"Wendell? Which Wendell?"

Wayne added coldly, "Wendell Procter from Zelotria."

"Yes, sir." Alan accepted the order although he didn't what triggered Wayne.

By the time Alan looked into it, he was surprised. "Ike, this is bad. This is bad!"

"What? Did Mr. Maxwell come up with some bizarre ideas to win Dr. Fordham's heart?"

Alan shook his head. "I don't think he needs to do that anymore."

Wayne marched over in huge strides. "Found something? Give it to me."

He grabbed the tablet from Alan's hand. The first picture was Wendell's picture.

Alan exclaimed, "I-Is he your long-lost father? This face, those eyes... You guys look the exact same!"

Their features were similar, but Wendell had a darker temperament, unlike Wayne.

Wayne read through the information.

Wendell's

time ago, and Wendell only had one son-Alexander.

If the daughter of the Fordham family was switched, what about the son of the Procter family?
