The spelling competition got tougher in the next couple of days. Most of the top contending schools , the elite schools in the competition lost their chances to get to the finale. But Ivie was still standing her ground she managed to push through the tough semi final elimination round and qualified for the National spelling bee competition finale.

It was an unbelievable tryouts and Ivie gave her best. The finale was on Friday so on Thursday there had a break. The kids have been battling out on stage for days and the last 4 schools that qualified for finals from Abuja, Delta, kogi and Lagos.

So on Thursday Mrs Erabor asked osas if it was okay for Ivie to go the hospital to finally get her samples taken for the DNA test.

Osas was in a really good mood so she agreed to it, they just better get it done and over with so everyone can get back to their lives. they took Ivie to the hospital

Ivie wasn't sure why she was taken to the hospital it's not like she was feeling sick so when she asked. Helen has to tell her it was a regular procedure for kids her age to get vaccinated and tested for all round medical checkup. Ivie hates going to the hospital

Tough lie for a smart kid but she didn't question it, her aunt is here and it's not like she's going to let anything bad happen to her and she really like Mrs Erabor and so she trusted her

The doctor called her into his office to take the cheek swap and asked her how she was doing. When she returned back to the waiting lobby. Raphael was sitting outside waiting for his turn. He wasn't expecting to see Ivie here, his mom had told him that the doctor had booked an appointment for him today at this time but she didn't mention that Ivie was going to be here as well

Which makes him wonder if it was really the doctor that booked the appointment or his mom did.

When Ivie walked out of the doctor's office wearing her blue sweatshirt and pants. Raphael's heart went zigzag for a moment.
he noticed she was looking everywhere for a familiar face so he cleared his throat and said to her

"Hey! You can take a seat am sure your mom will be here soon"

She rolled her eyes and reluctantly sat next to him on the bench. After about 60seconds she finally looked at him

"Sir may I use your phone please, I'd like to call my aunt pls "

"Ohhh okay!" While he was pulling out his phone from his pocket
Helen and osas showed up with soda

"Ohh here they are"

Helen was happy seeing her son and his daughter sitting next to each other, she would have loved to frame this moment

"You didn't tell me he was going to be here" Osas said definitely not as happy as Helen

"Aunty osas! " Ivie called jumping out of the seat to meet her

"Hey! How are you, are you feeling pain anywhere. Did the doctor use a needle"

"No! They just took something from my teeth, I think the dr thinks I have toothache. Who is going to hell him that I don't"

"Oh don't worry about it dear. He is going to run a comprehensive test " Mrs Erabor answered
She turned to Raphael

"Ohhh Ivie! I want to introduce you to my son. My first born his name is Raphael Edafe" Helen points at Raphael who was probably icing out of the conversation

"Oh Good morning sir" Ivie said smiling at him

Raphael couldn't get the response out
He was staring at her and how identical they look, this is the closest he has ever been to her , his mom is right the resemblance is uncanny. The DNA test is just secondary  at this point right here, right now he has the answers that he needs.
