Chapter 15 Skip the Hug
“Darreld, thank you for personally taking care of this today.” Eloise expressed her gratitude and then turned to Henry, saying, “Henry. please take good care of him.’
“I will. Mr. Russell, please follow mc.”
Darreld knew that the family still had something to discuss, so he glanced at Isabella, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then followed Henry downstairs.
“Come on, let’s sit down and talk.”
Eloise took Isabella’s hand and beckoned Cecilia to sit down.
For Cecilia, this scene was like a thorn piercing deeply into her heart.
“Cecilia, let me re-introduce her. Her name is Isabella Logan. She is our daughter who we lost track of.”
Upon hearing these words, Cecilia was thunderstruck.
She always thought that this girl was a distant relative who came to borrow money, but she didn’t expect that she was her parents’ daughter…
No wonder her parents treated her so well!
“Here’s what happened. Back then, Williams and I were passing through a small town when my water broke. We had no choice but to find the nearest hospital to give birth.”
Chapter 15 the Hug
Eloise recalled the fragments in her mind. “The hospital we found didn’t have any private rooms available, so the nurse temporarily arranged me in a three-bed ward where two other pregnant women were waiting to give birth.”
“In the middle of the night, the hospital suddenly caught fire for some reason.”
“Because of the thick smoke, I couldn’t see the way…”
“In a panic, I picked up a baby, thinking it was Isa…”
“You were another woman’s child, not our daughter.”
“I picked up the wrong baby.”
Each word of these revelations shattered Cecilia’s last defense.
She could hardly believe that she was not related to the Logan family by blood.
“Isa was taken away by the Brown family, and the child of the Brown family was raised by a janitor. And you came to the Logan family… If I hadn’t coincidentally seen a missing person notice on the Internet a while ago, I wouldn’t have known that all three families had taken the wrong child!”
Cecilia was astonished.
“As for your biological mother.” Eloise hesitated to speak and finally chose to tell the truth. “We had someone investigate. Because of the postpartum hemorrhage and her weak condition, she didn’t make it out of the fire that night…”
What?
Chapter 13 1
the hig
Her birth mother had already died the night she was born.
Cecilia’s face lost all color, and she couldn’t believe it.
“Your birth father is missing, with no trace found.” Eloisc continued, glancing at Isabella and then kindly saying. “We talked to Isa and plan to let you stay in this family. From now on, she is your older sister, and you are the younger sister.”
“We have owed Isa too much these years, and we will do our best to make up for her. Although you are not our daughter, we have treated you as our own these years. You and Isa should get along well. Just take good care of her, okay?”
Cecilia couldn’t accept hearing her parents’ biased words!
How could a younger sister take care of her older sister?
Over the years, she had always been proud of her birth, because her father was the richest man in the country, her mother was a famous beauty, and her five older brothers had all made it big in various industries.
For years, everyone had been accommodating her, pleasing her, fawning over her…
When was it her turn to be accommodating, pleasing, and fawning over others?
Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, Cecilia thought it over and still said generously, “This is all very sudden for me, and it would be a lie to say it doesn’t hurt.”
“I have been living in this family for eighteen years, and one day, my beloved parents told me that I am not their daughter…”
