Soon, Eliana rejected this unreasonable idea.
It was probably only a similar style.
The morgue was obviously enclosed, yet a gust of wind appeared from nowhere, lifting the bell beneath the lucky charm and exposing the engraved words on it. [HS]
Eliana felt a chill run through her whole body.
[HS] had engraved it herself before; even the placement matched, there was no such coincidence.
Eliana took the infant’s DNA and compared it with her own.
Two hours later, the test results were released.
The child lying in the morgue was her own.
Then what was going on with Hera?
Eliana’s mind felt like it was bursting, the pain cutting to the bone.
Eliana took the lucky charm and rushed back to the Snyder family.
She wanted to know the truth!
Just as she reached the door, before she could push it open, she heard her four-year-old daughter, Hera, call out. “Mom!”
But this “mom” was not meant for her; it was for Althea.
Althea smiled and gently teased the child. “Baby, didn’t Mom tell you? You can only call me that in private. You can’t say it like this in the Snyder family. If someone hears, there will be trouble.”
Bryson, however, casually replied, “What’s there to worry about? The child is already grown, and you’re her guardian now. If they find out Hera is our child, then we’ll just make it clear.”
It was clearly midsummer, yet Eliana Hamilton felt nothing but cold, even down to her bones.
So Hera truly was not her daughter.
Then the one in the morgue…
Pain and anger flooded her, and she could no longer hold back. She kicked the door open and walked in.
The door banged loudly, and everyone’s eyes moved toward her.
Eliana’s face was cold like ice. “Say it, how do you want to deal with me?”
Althea stared at Eliana with no shame after being found out, and seemed ready to challenge her.
The shame on Bryson’s face appeared for a moment and vanished, then turned into pride.
“Since you already heard it, I will not hide it from you.”
“The baby you gave birth to back then died after only a few hours. I was afraid you could not take it, so I gave you the baby Althea had just given birth to.”
“Eliana, speaking of it, you should be thankful to Althea. If not for her kindness, you would not have such a sweet daughter.”
Eliana laughed in pain.
The one who betrayed her was him; the one who switched her child was also him.
She had been fooled like a fool for four full years, and now he still said she should thank them?
Thank them for letting her raise the mistress’s child for four years?
Seeing Eliana almost break down, Bryson walked over, planning to hold her, but she pushed him away without mercy.
“Don’t touch me!”
“I ask you, where is our child? Where is her body?”
Bryson frowned and answered, “The child was buried at that time.”
Lies!
After her child passed, not only was there no grave, but she was left in water for four full years.
If she had not seen that lucky charm today, she would likely stay unaware her whole life.
Her child not only died, but she was also tricked into raising the mistress’s child for four full years.
Eliana looked at the man with only hate left in her eyes.
“Bryson, you are heartless!”
Before Bryson could reply, Althea stepped forward to act kindly.
“Eliana, don’t blame Bryson. This idea was mine back then. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
“And Hera is not only my child, but she is also your child, don’t worry. I will not fight with you.”
Clearly, they were the ones who had done all the wrong things.
Now they showed this fake look.
“Althea, you are the mistress; what right do you have to fight with me?”
“As long as I do not divorce Bryson for one day, you will always be that third party who breaks other people’s families!”
At the same time her words ended, Hera suddenly ran out and strongly grabbed her thigh.
“Bad woman! Not allowed to scold my mom!”
The child’s strength was not great, but it still brought deep pain into her heart.
She had always treated Hera as her own child, but did not expect to raise an ungrateful child.
Before, she always planned to take her away, but now it was not needed.
Bryson, she pushed him aside.
The daughter did not want any more.
Althea stepped forward again, pretending to be kind, pulling the child to say sorry to Eliana.
“Eliana, children speak without thinking. Don’t keep it in mind.”
“As long as you truly take good care of Hera, the child will surely accept you.”
Bryson pulled the mother and child and said, “Forget it. No need to explain so much, you did nothing wrong.”
“Since she cannot understand, let her stay home alone and calm down.”
Bryson took them and left, and also told the helpers in the house to leave.
Before leaving, he also switched off the electricity in the house.
Eliana knew Bryson used this to show her who had control in this house.
In the past, Eliana told Bryson she feared the dark the most.
Now, Bryson used her deepest weakness to hurt her.
It turned out that everything, once honestly shown, could really become knives that hurt her.
Before, she did not understand, but this time the pain was enough.
She had learned her lesson.
Since she felt pain, Bryson and the others should not expect things to stay easy.
Eliana sent a message to Jared.
[I will give you another big surprise, Hera is not my real child. Bryson not only cheated during the marriage, but he also had another marriage.]
Very quickly, the man replied at once.
[Alright, I will help you bring Bryson down completely.]
Since she suffered ten parts, Bryson and the others must also take eight parts!
