David Redington excitedly held Lily Gray's shoulders and made her look at him.
"Look, my eyes, they are also blue."
"My father too has a pair of blue eyes."
"So, if you are my biological sister, my father's biological daughter, you would also carry the blue eye recessive gene. And recessive genes, can be inherited across generations. This would perfectly explain why both kids have blue eyes."
He no longer wanted to keep it a secret, nor did he want to wait any longer.
David Redington hesitated no more and revealed the truth.
When speaking, his clear and pleasant voice contained an uncontrollable tremble.
The usually calm and fearless Mr. Redington, at this moment, could hardly control his urge to shed a man's tears.
He had always thought that his sister, who supposedly died young, had not only survived but had been right in front of him all this time.
How could he not be excited!
However, after the initial shock, Lily Gray didn't respond in the way he expected.
