Jeffrey was seething with regret.

"Why didn't I just listen..." he muttered to himself.

"Dad, | really messed up this time." Before he met Karen, Jeffrey felt a gaping void within him that he tried to fill with a parade of women and endless partying. But once Karen came into his life, he realized that all the space inside him could be perfectly occupied by just one person.

How could he undo his past follies? Was it Karen's fault for entering his life too late? Huxley glanced over at Paige. "Jeffrey, what others do to you, that's their business. But if you leave yourself open to being hurt, that's on you. Don't play the victim. Remember this—you can only change yourself, not anyone else." Jeffrey hung his head, speechless.

Over the years, he'd caroused through bars, living it up, ignoring his father's repeated chastisements, even believing that his dad, consumed with his business, didn't love him.

Now, the bitter taste of truth was his to bear.

"I was just too in love with him," Paige wept, tears falling freely. "I was young and reckless. Pregnant and terrified, | couldn't bear to tell my family. If | wasn't truly committed to him, how could | have endured?" "That's your concern, not the Turners’. I'm dealing with my son, so stay out of it." Leaning against the hospital wall, Jeffrey waited for the DNA test result, not wanting to utter a single word.

His mind was consumed with thoughts of Karen and their unborn child. How could he possibly make amends? Her concerns were valid. If he put himself in her shoes, he'd probably think Jeffrey wasn't worth a lifetime of trust either.

"Paige, are you there?" Silence lingered until finally, the doctor came out with another test result.

Paige, being closest, snatched the document.

Her eyes scanned the page, then widened in shock.

"No way... this can't be..." The results confirmed a biological match between her and Iris. But the child wasn't Jeffrey's.

"Jeffrey, this is impossible! | was so worried about going to the wrong room that day. | double-checked the room number before entering. | even called Arthur to make sure you were in there..." "Then go ask Arthur about it." Jeffrey had no time to untangle this mess now. He needed to save his child.

As he and his parents hurried out of City Hospital, Jeffrey ran headlong into Arthur, who had just arrived.

The sight of Arthur clenched Jeffrey's fists in rage.

"Son of a—! You dared to screw me over!" Grabbing Arthur by the collar, Jeffrey landed a fierce punch.

Fortunately, they were in a hospital, surrounded by people. Several onlookers intervened and pulled Jeffrey back.

But the punch left Arthur bloodied and sprawled on the floor.

"She told you?" Arthur wiped the blood from his face, glaring at Jeffrey.

"What do you think? But too bad, the kid's not mine! Your little scheme failed!" Arthur smirked, first propping himself up, then collapsing back onto the hospital floor, erupting into laughter.

"Of course, | know that kid isn't yours! Jeffrey, Paige's child is mine!"
