Amber realized this as well. She said in a dry voice, "Do you mean I'm not the real Amber? The real Amber and I were switched!"
Cole squeezed the steering wheel. "I don't know, but I'm sure you're not the baby I saw for the first time."
"This is impossible!" Amber clenched her fists, trembling all over. "If I'm not Amber, then who am I?"
Amber couldn't accept this.
Cole pulled off the road. "Honey, calm down. Maybe the truth is not what we thought."
"If not, where does the mole come from?" Amber stared at Cole with hollow eyes. "Cole, you've been sure that I'm not the real Amber, right?"
"I..." Cole was stunned and lost for words.
Amber bit her lower lip. "You are silent. You do think so. Maybe you're right. I'm probably not Amber. The woman asking Sharon to take the fall said that my mole would threaten her identity, so she may well be the real Amber."
Cole sighed, "Well, I do think you were switched, but it doesn't mean you're not the real Amber. Your mole is so prominent, and the two babies looked different, so your father and mother must have realized the difference. However, they brought you up, so I'm wondering if there was a mix-up at the hospital. After your father and mother found it, they got you back."
Amber froze.
This was indeed a possibility!
As Cole said, Amber's parents couldn't bring up Amber if she was not their biological daughter.
Therefore, it was very likely that there was a mix-up at the hospital. After Amber's parents found it, they got Amber back.
"If so, why did the attacker say I threatened her identity?" Amber frowned and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.
This was very annoying.
Cole scratched his hair. "I'm also wondering about this. But don't worry. Once she is caught, everything will be clear."
Amber nodded. "You're right, but I still want to know if I'm Mom and Dad's biological daughter."
"You needn't bother to do that." Cole looked at Amber.
Amber lowered her eyes, "I won't be relieved until I figure it out."
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"I'll visit the hospital where my mom gave birth to me twenty-six years ago. If there was a mix-up, the hospital must have recorded it."
Cole nodded. "No problem, but you were born in South Riverside. Will you make a trip there?"
"Of course. I also promised to go to South Riverside to watch Jere's runway show." Amber touched her eyes. "Although I can't see anything now, I must live up to my word."
"When will you go there?" Cole asked.
"Tomorrow morning. Sheila booked the plane ticket and the hotel two days ago." Amber said.
Cole was a little embarrassed. "I can't accompany you there tomorrow. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my grandfather's death. My family are going to the graveyard."
"Never mind. I'll ask Stella to go with me," Amber said with a smile.
Stella was very good at fighting, so Cole was relieved. "It's good that she can accompany you there.”
"Well, you must call me tomorrow after the portrait is finished," Amber added.
Cole made an OK gesture. "No problem. We should go back now."
When they returned to the hospital, it was 12:00 p.m.
Cole bought lunch for Amber and asked the caregiver to take good care of Amber before leaving.
Amber and Jayden were eating when the phone rang.
