Second Email

As if receiving a cystic fibrosis diagnosis was not bad enough, Mason now wondered if the sons he loved so much were actually his. After everything, he simply wanted the truth. Certainly, Kate owed him at least that much. So, when she did not reply to his first message, Mason sent a second email.
“I was hoping that you could relieve me of further indignity by letting me know now if I am the father,” Mason desperately typed in his second email. “I am happy to go along with your advice as to how best tell the boys. But, if you force me to go through these extra tests then I shall be telling them as I wish.” Finally, this time, Kate responded.
