Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 450

Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy.

Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life.

Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."

I was surprised. "Really?"

"Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner."

"You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"

If that were the case...

I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceived the Shaw family. Now, it wasn't out of the question that she was here to deceive Yasmin as well.

Yasmin didn't hide anything from me, her smile fading into a trace of melancholy. "Yes, she was swapped with another baby just days after her birth."

"Who swapped her?"

"We haven't found out yet." Yasmin sighed.

"What about the baby that was swapped to you?" I asked softly.

"It was a stillborn."

I was stunned by her words.

Yasmin spoke with self-reproach, "With everything that was going on at home, I left Jeswood and went to Northland to start a new life. Had I known Christine was swapped, I would never have left Jeswood. I would have insisted on finding her."

"It's not your fault." I reassured her. "If anyone is to blame, it's the person who swapped the babies."

"Let's not talk about me anymore. At least, Christine and I are reunited."

Yasmin smiled with a sense of relief and said, "Let's focus on your situation. Is your family in Jeswood or Jelaston?"
