Chapter 417 The Secret From Twenty Years Ago
The nanny who had disappeared years ago after Noelle was taken?
She’s here?
Alina felt her heart sink. A bad feeling rose inside her.
Tabitha showing up was definitely not a coincidence.
Angus’s expression turned serious. “Bring her in.”
Soon, a plainly dressed woman in her fifties was led into the room. Her face looked worn and weathered.
The moment she stepped inside, she bowed to the family, not daring to lift her head.
“Tabitha! You still dare to come back!” Mary shouted.

Old anger burst out of her. She agitatedly tried to rush forward. “If you had watched my daughter properly back then, Noey would never have gone missing! Where have you been hiding all these years?!”
Tabitha trembled in fear. She kept pleading for forgiveness. “Please forgive me! Back then, it was my fault. I watched her closely. It’s just, I–I didn’t dare to tell you the truth!”
“Didn’t dare to tell us what?” Angus asked in a deep voice.
Tabitha slowly raised her head. Tears streamed down her wrinkled face. Her shaking hand pointed straight at Alina. “I–it was Ms. Alina! Back then, she carried baby Charlotte out of the house and left her on a hospital bench!”
“Rubbish!” Brian shouted angrily.
“Alina was five years old back then! How could a five–year–old child do something like that? Tabitha, you told us different things back then! You said you didn’t see who took the baby! Twenty years later, you suddenly came back and accuse Alina? What are you really trying to do?”
“1-1 was scared!” Tabitha cried loudly.
“Would anyone believe a five–year–old child could do something like that? If I told you back then, no one would believe me! All of you would probably think I was lying to escape blame. You might even kill me to silence me! I had no choice but to say I didn’t see anything and run away.”
As she spoke, she pulled something from her clothes. It was wrapped in layers of plastic. With shaking hands, she opened it. Inside was an old photograph that had turned yellow with age.
“I have proof!” she cried. “A reporter happened to take this photo at the hospital back then. Later he recognized that it was Ms. Alina. He was too scared to say anything, but he secretly printed the photo. II stole one copy from him”
Tabitha raised the photo high.
The picture was blurry and old, but they could make out the scene. In the background was a hospital hallway. A little girl wearing a dress, with two braided pigtails, held a baby in her arms. She placed the baby on a cold bench and ran away.
