Chapter 156 Amazing Discovery
Candice looked through everything very carefully.
Elijah's physical condition was just like Yasmin's, very healthy, with no problems at all.
However, when she saw the blood test reports, she noticed something unusual.
Elijah's blood type was actually the same as Yasmin's.
This really surprised Candice.
Although both Elijah and Yasmin were Brandon's children.
Their mothers were not the same person.
A child's blood type was usually determined by genes inherited from both parents.
Of course, variations could occur, but it was still quite unexpected that Elijah and Yasmin had the same blood type.
Candice felt puzzled for a few seconds, and could only tell herself that blood type might just be a coincidence.
After all, there are only a few blood types, and so many people in the world share the same blood type.
But somehow, when it came to Elijah, she was especially concerned.
She kept feeling like she was overlooking something.
So after reviewing the test results, she was a bit distracted, her brows furrowed, and they stayed that way until she got out of work.
In the evening, when she went to pick up the kids from kindergarten, Qiana suddenly called.
When Candice answered, she heard Qiana inviting her to dinner.
They hadn't seen each other since the auction.
Qiana said, "I know a really good restaurant. I want to take you and Yasmin to try it. She'll definitely love it!"
Hearing Qiana's cheerful voice, Candice temporarily pushed aside thoughts about Elijah.
She quickly replied, "Sure! I'm on my way to the kindergarten right now. Send me the restaurant's location, and we'll see you there!"
"Okay!"
After Qiana hung up, she soon sent the address to Candice's phone.
Candice arrived at the kindergarten quickly.
After giving the two children's test results to Zola, she took the two little ones to meet Qiana.
Qiana really liked Yasmin. When she saw her arrive with Candice, she enthusiastically picked Yasmin up and showered her with kisses.
"My little Princess Yasmin, I haven't seen you in days, and you've gotten even cuter!"
Yasmin laughed as she was kissed, and complimented her back, "Qiana too, you've gotten even prettier!"
This really pleased Qiana.
She was about to exchange more compliments with Yasmin when her eyes suddenly caught sight of another child beside Candice.
Qiana froze, looking at Candice with a shocked expression, and asked, "Isn't this the son of the Obelon family's heir? Why is he with you?"
Candice touched her nose and said, "It's a long story."
"Then give me the short version!" Qiana urged, very curious.
Candice had no choice but to briefly explain how she came to be taking care of Elijah.
After hearing this, Qiana's expression was extremely complicated.
At the auction before, she already thought that Brandon seemed off.
Now he'd gone and sent his son to stay at Candice's place.
This was definitely calculated!
She couldn't help but look at Candice with worried eyes.
Could Candice, this innocent little rabbit, escape the clutches of Brandon, that big bad wolf?
Qiana started to worry.
As they talked, they entered the restaurant.
Qiana had reserved a table in advance and ordered many dishes that all three of them loved.
Shortly after they sat down, the waiter brought all the dishes.
"There's so much delicious food!"
Hearing Yasmin's excited tone, Qiana pinched her little cheek and said, "Of course! Most of it is for you. Eat up!"
"Okay!"
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Yasmin's appetite was fully awakened. She said seriously, "I had blood drawn this morning, so I need to eat a lot! I have to make up for what I lost!"
Candice couldn't help but laugh at this.
Elijah watched the energetic Yasmin and warmly reminded her, "Eat slowly."
"Okay! Elijah, you eat too! This pizza smells so good! And this fish is really delicious!"
Though she agreed verbally, facing such delicious food, Yasmin's eating speed didn't slow down much.
Tasty sauce stuck to the corners of her mouth, like a little kitten that had just had milk.
Elijah didn't mind at all and immediately grabbed a napkin to wipe Yasmin's mouth.
Acting like a proper big brother.
Watching the two little ones interact, Qiana took the opportunity to lean over and say to Candice, "Even though Elijah is that jerk Brandon's son, he's so well-behaved, cute, and likable!"
"And look at how he gets along with our Yasmin, the atmosphere is so harmonious. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were both yours."
Hearing this, Candice felt something suddenly flash through her mind, too quick to catch.
Still, she quietly replied, "In terms of blood relation, they are half-siblings from the same father anyway. Yasmin should be older than Elijah, but Elijah is more mature and takes care of people, so he seems like the older brother."
But Qiana disagreed, "No, Elijah should be older than Yasmin! The Obelon family used to throw grand birthday parties for Elijah every year. If I remember correctly, his birthday is December 24th!"
"What?" Hearing this date, Candice was stunned.
In fact, when she first learned that Brandon had a son around Yasmin's age, she had deliberately avoided asking this question.
She really didn't want to know whether Brandon had cheated during their marriage or immediately had a child with someone else right after their divorce.
But now, she couldn't worry about that anymore.
She was shocked because Yasmin's birthday was December 25th!
Elijah was only one day older than Yasmin!
What was even more coincidental was that Elijah's birthday was the same day as Candice's son, who died at birth.
When she gave birth to the two little ones, it was on the night of December 24th.
At that time, Candice's son, who died, was born first, and Yasmin came a few minutes later, already past midnight.
This meant that although they were twins, they didn't have the same birthday.
When she realized this, countless fragments that she had overlooked seemed to flood into Candice's mind all at once!
For example, the first day she came to Seaside City, and ran into Brandon.
He dragged her to a hotel room and went crazy, saying she had abandoned her husband and child.
And in their subsequent arguments, they had parted unhappily over this topic several times.
Thinking carefully now, Brandon never seemed to clearly indicate that she had abandoned him, did he?
Candice's expression suddenly changed, and her heavy chest suddenly felt a pang.
She couldn't help but think again about how she had an extraordinary fondness and soft spot for Elijah.
And Elijah's exceptional dependence on her.
The more she thought about it, an increasingly absurd and outrageous idea grew stronger and stronger in her mind.
