Chapter 17: Results
A cold chill slithered down his spine as he read the letter. It was obvious that Noriko feared for her daughter's life and sanity. That she was sending the girl to him in a last ditch effort to save her child showed the true depths of her desperation and for that desperation he found he resented her just a bit less. Tony glanced at his daughter again and his heart squeezed as the dead look in the young woman's eyes took on a whole new meaning. Taking a deep breath he set the letter aside. His mind bounced around chaotically. If what the letter said was true his kid may very well be suicidal. Something within him ached at the notion and he felt bile rise up in the back of his throat at the idea of losing his newly found daughter in such a tragic way. He pressed his fingertips to his eyelids.
"Sir I have the results of the blood test." The AI"s voice echoed loudly in the quiet.
God help him but no matter the results of the test he would try to save this child.
"Well Jarvis?"
"Sir, according to the test Kagome Higurashi is your daughter." Releasing one long breath Tony felt his whole world collapsing.
