"So the real problem is you prejudging me as a scientist? You know nothing about me. With the exception of Nathan, the other scientists are not my friends. At the best of times they barley qualify as colleagues. By the way, their is nothing I wouldn't do to protect Carter up to and including destroying the project if I had too."
Tom had gotten angry despite his best effort. How dare she judge him. This woman who had weaved a huge web of lies for sixteen years. Now here she stood judging him. "Look, Madison I swear to you I won't let anyone lay a hand on Carter. However, I refuse to accept not being in his life and if I have too I will get a DNA sample and prove he is my son. I don't want it to be like that. If you don't believe me then tell me what I can do to earn your trust?" He felt a twinge in his pride for that statement after all she is the one who lies to everyone. Tom would do whatever was necessary for his son even if it meant being humiliated by this woman.
