Chapter 261: Cuckoo Egg
Amelia wracked her brain to remember the hectic scene outside of the operating theater.
"I think... I think she said that she had blood type O? But then again, so does 50% of the population, and that blood type is a universal donor so it wouldn’t be weird if Catherine volunteered to donate her blood... But..."
Her eyes drifted down to the diary. Within the yellowed pages contained secrets to a scandal that might possibly tear two families apart.
"A blood type O parent paired with a blood type A parent... it would be possible to have a child with blood type O, no matter how little the chance. But everything we have now is still conjecture," Amelia added quickly, even as her heart raced at the possible picture hinted by the puzzle pieces.
"Sure, now we know that my uncle and Catherine were exes, but jumping from exes to substituting a baby with one of their own is a massive leap of logic," Amelia continued, and she didn’t want to know if she was convincing herself or Matteo.
"I agree, but you’re forgetting one important factor," Matteo said. "That blood test result. All we need to do is find out where Aiden got the blood from, and we’ll know who Emmeline’s real mother is. I have a very strong feeling that he simply went back home to take his own mother’s blood to substitute for Emmeline’s," Matteo added grimly.
Amelia’s heart sank at the reminder. She didn’t want to think the worst of Aiden, that he would still be willing to lie to them after they gave him a second chance.
"It could just be that the blood test matched because she’s, well, Aiden’s mother... right?" Amelia asked hopefully. However, with the newfound evidence, that was no longer the only possibility. "I mean, if Aiden really took Catherine’s blood."
Matteo caught the subtle devastation in her eyes and reached out to embrace her.
