This was the last thing that Johanna wanted to talk about.
She had been depressed for years, knowing that her daughter had been replaced. She even
considered taking her own life, but Beal had stopped her.
The White family had a lot of connections in Barnes. They had asked anyone and everyone they could
to look for their missing daughter, but there was no sign of her.
Gradually, Johanna came to believe that she would never reunite with her daughter. Beal, on the other
hand, didn’t lose hope and suggested they search in other cities. After all, Barnes was a metropolis and
lots of people came and went every year, so it was possible that their daughter wasn’t in Barnes
anymore.
Now, they finally found her—their long lost daughter.
Johanna looked at Beal hesitantly. Beal didn’t say anything and gave her a reassuring look.
Holding Janet’s hands, Johanna bit her lower lip nervously. She took deep breaths, but she was so
emotional that she couldn’t squeeze a single word out.
Finally, Beal looked at Janet and sighed heavily. “When you were born, there was an earthquake of
unprecedented magnitude in Barnes. The whole city was in chaos. The hospital collapsed, and all the
expecting mothers and infants were trapped inside. Your mother, who was staying in a VIP ward at the
time, was moved with the other mothers during the evacuation. The situation was a complete mess at
the time and she had no idea that you were replaced. Later, when we did find out, we investigated the
matter and found that a couple took advantage of the chaotic situation to replace you with their
daughter and took you away.”
Tears rolling down her cheeks, Johanna lowered her head guiltily and covered her mouth with the
handkerchief in her hand. In between sobs, she said, “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t able to protect you. If I
did, you wouldn’t have been replaced. You were born without birthmarks. I didn’t get to see you clearly
because I was too weak and therefore didn’t memorize what you looked like.”
Beal hurried to comfort his wife. “Don’t blame yourself. All babies look alike when they were just born.
It’s difficult to tell them apart.”
Janet patted Johanna’s hand, too. “You’ve found me now and that’s what matters. Truth be told, I never
wanted to look for my biological parents before. I always thought that they had deliberately abandoned
me.”
Now that she knew that Johanna and Beal never meant to lose her, she didn’t feel unwanted anymore.
Johanna threw her arms around Janet and wept tears of joy. Janet had grown up to be such a gentle
and considerate young lady. “I’m so glad we found you, my child. My life would’ve been meaningless
otherwise.”
Janet could keenly sense that her mother really cared about her. Thinking of the baby who had taken
her place, she asked, “How is the girl now?”
“Her name is Lila. She lives in Barnes with us now. Your mother and I didn’t know that she wasn’t ours
at first, so we raised her as our own.” Beal sighed.
After all, the baby girl had looked a lot like baby Janet. Beal and Johanna had no idea that the girl they
raised wasn’t theirs.
It wasn’t until Lila had a blood test that they realized that something was wrong. Beal’s blood type was
A, and Johanna’s was O, while Lila’s was B—there was no possible way she was their biological
daughter.
So they secretly conducted a paternity test and found out that indeed, Lila wasn’t related to them by
blood. They launched an in-depth investigation into the matter. That was when they found out that their
baby had been replaced amidst the chaotic aftermath of the earthquake.
“People can be really evil. Even the clothes and wristbands on the two babies were switched, so it
obviously was not just a simple mistake. I knew what my baby was wearing and that was why we took
that girl with us.” Johanna sneered angrily. Just thinking about the evildoers who had stolen her
daughter made her want to tear them to pieces.
It was because of them that she wasn’t able to see her own child in more than twenty years.
Lila, on the other hand, had been treated as Johanna’s and Beal’s biological daughter for years. They
loved her deeply and by the time they realized the mistake, it was too late for them to leave her. Thus,
they continued to treat Lila as their own while secretly looking for their real daughter.
A few years ago, they had managed to track down Lila’s biological parents, but the evil couple had
abandoned Janet as a baby and had no idea where she was.
With her lips pursed, Janet asked warily, “Has Lila met her biological parents?”
“Lila is still with us. She has no idea that she’s not our biological daughter…” Johanna sighed heavily.
These problems were not easy to solve.
