I stood there, utterly bewildered.
âI havenât done anything.
â
âYouâre lying!â Denise spat back, her words laced with contempt.
âIâve seen how Sallyâs recovered.
Just like what you did with her, you must have messed with Dylan!â
How had Denise discovered Sallyâs recovery?
I felt a jolt of astonishment.
At that moment, I couldnât spare a thought for how Denise had learned about Sally, as Dylanâs arm was gushing blood.
The familiar ache in my chest resurfaced, more acute than when I looked at the photographs earlier.
I clutched my chest.
The pain was intense.
My heart ached terribly when Dylan was hurt.
While I struggled to breathe, I discovered that Caleb had led a group of people to the rooftopâs edge, all trying to approach Denise.
Ny heart tightened.
No, I couldnât afford to make a mistake at that moment.
To shield Denise from Calebâs actions, I hurriedly added, âDenise, I swear I never met Dylan.
Iâm innocent.
And as for Dylanâs belief that Iâm his mom, itâs possible he is my son.
I didnât recognize him initially because he was unwell, and his scent was quite faint.
â
Denise appeared to grasp something and asked, âIsnât Elena your daughter? Elena is roughly the same age as Dylan.
Thereâs no way he could be your son.
Debra, youâre not telling the truth! Dylan is my child.
You must have manipulated him in some way!â
I tried to recount the past, sharing, âDuring that challenging time, I gave birth to twins-a baby boy and a baby girl.
My strength waned due to obstructed Labor, preventing me from catching a glimpse of my sonâs appearance.
For years, I believed my baby boy had passed away shortly after birth.
Now, Iâm beginning to suspect that he might be Dylan!â
Deniseâs reaction was one of mild surprise.

I fixed my gaze on her, my tone icy as I demanded, âDenise, how did you manage to take my baby back then?â
Confusion and panic danced within Deniseâs eyes, clearly indicating she hadnât anticipated this revelation.
In her moment of vulnerability, Caleb moved swiftly.
Denise, however, remained alert and sensed Calebâs approach, promptly releasing her hold on Dylan.
In the following heartbeat, a heart-wrenching scene unfolded.
Denise thrust Dylan towards the rooftopâs edge just before Caleb caught up to her.
Dylan fell to the ground without any warning or precautions in place.
