Chapter 420: A mother’s selfishness
Rebecca ran to her room, her heart felt heavy with emotions. The past had come to haunt her. Why now of all times?
"My lady, what are you going to do? What if she is really your daughter?" The aide asked Rebecca, who had already collapsed on a chair, her face was pale.
"I don’t know, this can’t be happening. This can’t be real. Mum really swapped the babies." She muttered continuously. Her stomach told her Callista was the child she carried in her womb, but what would happen to the baby she loved selflessly for 20 years, the one who was her life?
*****
Close to 21 years ago when Rebecca finally got pregnant after years of failing. She wasn’t old at the time because Rebecca and Pierre had gotten married very early in their teens but they weren’t blessed with a child until they had their miracle
A baby she swore to love with all her heart. Towards her last trimester, Pierre and Mikhail sensed something was off with the baby. Her life force was extremely weak and this made Rebecca scared to her core.
"She won’t survive birth," Mikhail said. Pierre could not argue because he also saw it. His vision told him his child was too weak to be born.
Rebecca broke down in tears, she wasn’t going to accept it. She wasn’t going to give up on her baby. "She won’t die," Rebecca declared then started making arrangements to travel back to her family land.
Her family had noble roots with Heliosa, who held medical secrets that could save her baby since Heliosa was more medically advanced than Dacronia. The journey was rough, and Pierre accompanied her the entire journey until she got to her family’s land.
