"May I speak to Dr. Wilson please?" an unknown male voice sounded through the cell phone of Wilson.
"Yeah, speaking," Wilson replied automatically.
"Dr. Wilson, this is Officer Jacob, we are calling from the California state police, we suppose you know a woman called Michelle Cooper?" Wilson's mind flew back to ages ago. He dated Michelle when he was in medical school, they were together for 3 years. Michelle left him when she got pregnant. Her father was furious with Wilson and forced Michelle to transfer school. With that, he never saw her ever again.
"Yeah, we known each other in med school, ages ago, why is there a problem?" Wilson asked.
"Well… I am sorry to tell you that she died in a car crash last night and her husband refuse to get custody of her daughter, claiming that Alexandra belongs to you and not him." Wilson was in shock as he tried to process these information.
"So?"
"Well sir, you have two choices, you can either choose to adopt the kid or a paternity test would be carried out and whoever is the father would get custody of her. "
"Ok… and how old is the kid?"
"14, and she is a mature young woman, if I may add my personal opinion, you should take her, her stepfather is an unemployed drunk," the officer said. Wilson did a mental calculation in his head. 14… that would be the exact age of the kid he never got to see, Alexandra was close to a 100% his child.
"I think the kid is mine, I will take her then…" Arrangements were soon made for Wilson to fly to Los Angeles the next day to sign the custody paper and to pick up Alexandra.
