In this chapter, the Governess tells her family that she has deliberately misled them about the paternity test results. She asks the doctor at the hospital to admit that she did it, but the doctor refuses to admit it. The Governess suspects that the doctor and his wife have reached a "consensus" and will hide the results from the public. She tells her sister-in-law that she is angry with her brother for looking for someone to test her sister's womb for her father's paternity. The doctor, she says, is so bad that he is like a "joke in the hospital" . She wonders if there is a reason why his brother did not take the test out after the results were out. She says that her brother has already done the test and that no one would do such a thing under his eyes. She also says that she believes her brother trusted someone else to do the test.
