The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 501

“Vivica…” Hayes Chase murmured, a look of joy spreading across his face.

Vivica Lynn remained silent.

“Vivica, you’re here!” he said, raising a hand as his joy turned to excitement. “You look exactly like your mother when she was young…”

Vivica tried to smile in response, but her lips wouldn’t cooperate.

“Vivica, come closer. Let me get a good look at you…” Hayes’s hand trembled violently, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

Before Vivica could move, Raymond Smith, who was holding Chaim, turned and gestured with his free hand. “Vivica, come on over.”

Joseph Baird glanced at Vivica with concern, then stepped forward and took his son from Raymond’s arms before turning his gaze to his wife.

“Vivica?” he called softly, his voice tinged with worry.

“Hmm?” Vivica snapped back to reality, meeting Hayes’s eager gaze.

After a moment’s hesitation, she walked to the bedside.

Seeing Vivica’s silence and Joseph’s emotionless expression, Raymond quickly understood that they didn’t want to hear this. After all, Vivica was a victim too; it was unfair to ask one victim to sympathize with another. So, Raymond leaned in and whispered to Hayes, “Hayes, try asking about Vivica herself, or about the child.”

As Raymond spoke, Chaim turned to Joseph, his face a mask of confusion. “Daddy? Who is he? Why are we here to see him?”

Joseph looked at his son’s innocent eyes and decided to tell him the truth. “Chaim, that’s your grandfather. He’s Mommy’s real father. I want you to call him Grandpa in a little bit.”

“Grandpa?” Chaim was confused. “But I already have a grandpa. Why is there another one here?”

Joseph smiled. “This one is your real grandpa.”
