Everyone else swung around to stare at him with expressions of discontent. After everything that happened, how could she not be upset?
“The worst–case scenario is that Tabitha isn’t the Quirk family’s daughter. However, they raised her for eighteen years, so would they mind having one more daughter? Besides, Uncle Hansel and Aunt Astrid would never allow Tabitha to return to that sort of family. If it’s true that they were switched at birth, Petra will inevitably face jail time, and the other two aren’t even blood–related. So, the most probable outcome is that both girls will be considered daughters of the Quirk family.”
After hearing Alexander’s analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.
At the very least, it ensured that Tabitha could maintain her current life no matter the circumstances.
But if we think that way… Is it fair to Heidi?
“Is this fair to Heidi? If it’s true that Petra swapped us, then I’m the one who made her live like that for eighteen years. If we switch back and I’m still here, it’ll be very painful for her. I’ll also be…” Tabitha said hesitantly while the others were silent, breaking into sobs at the end.
Everyone heaved a sigh. What should we do? Can it be that things will only be set right if Tabitha returns to live with Petra and experience Heidi’s life?
It was a sleepless night for all of them. After all, making such a decision truly tested one’s values and moral reasoning. Nobody is perfect, so all anyone could do was follow their heart.
Meanwhile, Hansel and Astrid spent the entire night in discussion. Their decision was in line with Alexander’s thoughts. If things were indeed as they seemed, they could not possibly abandon the daughter whom they had raised for eighteen years. As for Heidi… they would do their utmost to fulfill their responsibility as parents.
The next morning during breakfast, Lionel asked about what had happened the night before. Not wanting him to worry, everyone simply told him they would fill him in once they had a clear understanding of the
situation.
However, the atmosphere among the entire family was not very pleasant.
That morning, all the personnel in charge of performing the DNA test arrived at the Quirk manor with the equipment needed. Alexander was very thorough and even arranged for someone to find the staff who had worked at the hospital back then.
Of course, they also sent someone to bring over Petra and Tony.
Petra had felt a sense of unease when the bodyguard in black appeared at her front door and she realized that Heidi was missing.
Upon arriving at the Quirk manor, she saw Heidi and was met with a gaze filled with resentment. Coupled with the sight of the miserable expressions of Hansel and his family, her mind buzzed.
She quickly mustered a smile. “Heidi, what brings you here? I’ve been looking for you, my daughter. You didn’t come to cause trouble for the Quirk family, did you? Come, let’s go home.”

“Daughter? You have the nerve to call yourself my mother. Are you truly my mother? How could you be so cruel and shameless?” Heidi burst out angrily.
Petra’s expression shifted abruptly. “What are you doing here?”
Without a second thought, she immediately started shouting. “Did you come here and spout a load of bullsh*t? Don’t listen to her nonsense. She has hysteria. There’s something wrong with her mind.”
Heidi gritted her teeth in resentment. “I heard everything you said last night. I know now that I’m the Quirk family’s daughter and that Tabitha is your daughter. Whatever you say now is useless. In any case, we’re getting a DNA test done, and the truth about how you switched us at birth will eventually be exposed. You want your daughter to have a cushy life? Dream on!”
