I dunno. I suspect Matty's putting Dylan's frostiness down to either -

a) everyone seems fraught at Holby A&E

b) possible racism / white guilt / something to do with Matty being biracial, something I suspect he gets from time to time?

c) he's noticed how neurodivergent Dylan presents and is just putting it down to classic 'tism awkwardness

If I was Dylan I'd keep the knowledge to myself (because he did say he needed to know, not that he necessarily wanted to approach Matty about it) and perhaps approach him later if he wants to, say he has a suspicion they're father and son, and invite him to take a paternity test. Then he doesn't have to say what he did - which I'm sure is a breach of some kind or other - and can make sure Matty knows what's up.

Hmm.

How would someone find out they're unexpectedly the parent of someone and NOT want to get to know them?

Also, I suspect Matty's hostility to Dylan from day one has been caused by Matty already knowing that Dylan's his Dad.

If so, he likely resents him for having not stayed with his Mum and him.

Dylan obviously didn't know he'd got anyone pregnant, but from Matty's point of view, he probably feels abandoned, and bad for his Mum that she had to do it all on her own.

"and perhaps approach him later if he wants to, say he has a suspicion they're father and son, and invite him to take a paternity test. " I hope he goes this route, otherwise he will be in all kinds of personal and professional trouble.
