If Mrs. Cole was his mother, William Cole would indeed acknowledge her without hesitation.
However, he well knew his consciousness and his impossible blood ties with Mrs. Cole and could only sigh: "Mrs. Cole, I am not your son."
"If you don't believe me, we can get a blood test. We could also get a DNA paternity test."
"I know it's going to be hard for you. But if you mistakenly recognize me as your son, it would be even more painful when your real son returns."
After he finished speaking, William looked at Mrs. Cole sincerely.
"My child, you are so thoughtful," Mrs. Cole said, deeply moved by his kindness.
An orphan from a young age, yet always putting others first — clear proof of a love and a kindness that average people simply couldn't compare to.
Mrs. Cole had no idea how much suffering William had gone through to be so considerate of others. She sighed softly: "It's useless. If I could have done a DNA test, I would have done it a long time ago."
