Chapter 193: Her Son Was In Danger
William shook off his thoughts, quite sure Sophia would never commit such crimes, unlike Evelyn. Gracia seemed clueless about what had happened here for the past two decades, and Evelyn had smartly filled her mind, turning Gracie completely against them.
"I think you are misunderstanding her," William defended Sophia. Rushing over to Gracia, he stopped her and continued, "She is too innocent and pure, Gracie. Sophie would hesitate even to kill an ant."
Gracia scoffed in disbelief. She shrugged away his hand and ran a hand through her hair, clearly frustrated. It felt like Sophia really had William wrapped around her finger, turning him into a puppet. The way he was still taking her side filled her with pure disappointment.
"We even did DNA tests. Anna was our real daughter, Gracie," William continued to press on, agitating Gracia even more.
"And are you confident that they weren’t fake?" Gracia asked, trying to put an end to this nonsense. The fact that her precious child who had gone too soon was also used in this bullshit drama grated on her nerves.
William fell silent, thinking about who had gotten those certificates and their authenticity. When Bella showed up with her own documents and claims, Sophia had cross-checked them. Even the second DNA test they did was also brought by her team.
With a sigh, Gracia continued, "Do you seriously think I wouldn’t have recognized if my baby was swapped, William?"
"No... I mean..."
"I gave birth to her, William." Gracia cut him off. "If she was really switched as per your stories I would have at least had doubts in that precious one year we got to spend with her," she added, her heart aching at the memories. The accident, her attempts to reach for the poor baby in the crashed car, her cries of her before she fell unconscious—everything brought tears to her eyes.
"And for god’s sake, did you forget your mother, Charlotte, owned that hospital?" Gracia continued in a frustrated tone. "She was my doctor and there were guards surrounding both of us, William. Do you really think anyone would’ve dared to pull such a stunt?"
William fell silent as he had never thought about it. The fact that his child was still alive had ruled out all his suspicions. She was indeed right! There were too many enemies in the shadows that his mother had been on high alert until they were discharged. Gracia waited a minute for him to process everything before putting an end to it.
