Kiley gasped in surprise.
She stopped the nurse, exclaiming, âWait a second!â
Before the nurse could respond, Kiley hurried over for a closer look at the baby girl.
As she gazed at the child, her emotions stirred-there was even a red mole between the babyâs eyebrows, a distinctive trait often seen in the Jones family.
After a moment of shock, Kiley lifted her eyes and asked, âWho gave birth to this baby?â
The nurseâs brow furrowed, sensing something amiss with Kileyâs intense interest.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have asked such a question.
Just as Kiley was about to press further, Cecilia emerged from the ward, taken aback by Kileyâs intense gaze.
Kiley, viewing her almost as an adversary, quickly refocused on the baby girl and asked urgently, âDid Olivia give birth to this baby? Is she⦠Is she Raphaelâs child?â
Cecilia, already annoyed and not in the best of moods due to Dylanâs recent passing, responded sharply, âMrs.
Jones, please watch your words! It is ridiculous to claim someone elseâs child without any proof!â
Kiley, longing for grandchildren, was aware of the strained relationship between Raphael and Sharon, including their separate living arrangements.
It seemed plausible to her that Sharon might have had an affair, especially since she had occasionally heard rumors to that effect.
However, Kiley had never mentioned these suspicions openly to the couple.
But now, seeing the baby girl, Kiley felt a surge of determination.
If this child was indeed Raphaelâs, she believed it was crucial to bring her into the Jones family.
At that moment, Raphael approached.
Seizing the opportunity, Kiley quickly pointed out, âLook, Ray.
The baby girl looks just like you!â
Olivia heard the noise too and rushed out of the ward.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Since Olivia was present, Raphael pretended to be calm, but the truth was that he actually had mixed feelings.
At first glance, he was almost sure that the child was his.
Dylan was multi-racial, but this baby was far from being mixed-race.
Besides, he did the math and realized it was very likely that Olivia had conceived the child after their encounter on the island right before Leonel and Alexisâ wedding.
Raphael wanted to speak, but he was at a loss for words.
After the delivery, Olivia remained very weak and her face had always been a bit pale.
