"On what do you base such certainty?"
"DNA test. The results show that the child and your mother, Mrs. Atkinson, are related by blood. That's enough."
She had been suspicious from the start because the child wasn't a virus carrier. But then the child's umbilical cord blood saved Gem Atkinson's life, and she let her guard down. However, she also wondered if some medical coincidence was the reason the child had been able to save Gem.
So, to ensure the child was indeed Gem's, she had secretly conducted another DNA test between the child and Eleanor Spencer Atkinson, following Nathan Mamet's instructions. The results confirmed 'a relative relationship exists'.
Thus, she completely put her mind at rest and was at ease letting Tiffany Mamet carry the child to term.
Gem Atkinson's lips curved slightly as he said, "Not only does the child have a blood relationship with my mother, but he also has one with me."
"What?" Isla Mamet was somewhat baffled.
"Because the child is my cousin."
