Chapter 175 Edwinâs surprise only lasted for a few seconds, then he calmly asked, âMrs. Brenna, you have quite the memory, remembering that detail so clearly after all these years.â
Brenna sighed deeply and said, âI was friends with your mom, and she got hurt so bad trying to protect the baby she was carrying. Its a memory etched deep in my heart. Your sister was different from other babies right from the startâso pretty and chubby, with those big eyes just like your momâs. And that birthmark, shaped like a petal, had me in tears. I thought it must be your mom leaving her favorite. thing with your sisterâ
Edwin stepped out of the doctorâs office, his mind swirling with Brennaâs words. Brenna had been his motherâs dearest friend and the doctor who had taken care of his mother during her pregnancy. Her words rang with truth.
His sister had a petalâshaped birthmark on her back. That was the legacy his mother had left for his sister. She must have been so worried about her, and she wanted that birthmark to be a guardian, as if she were always by her side.
However, the sister he had watched over since childhood bore no such mark on her back.
Edwin felt a visceral pain, convulsing from the inside out. He was now certainâHeidi was not his motherâs child.
But then, whose child was Heidi? And where had his real sister gone?
Was his motherâs car accident really an act of sabotage as his grandfather had suggested?
Edwin stood in the hospital stairwell, fumbling in his pocket for a cigarette. His hands shook violently, it took several attempts to light IL He took several deep drags. The heavy smoke made him cough violently, his eyes reddening intensely.
It took a while before he regained his composure. He had to uncover the truthâwho had taken his sister?
Pulling out his phone, he dialed Uncle James.
Without waiting for a reply, he blurted out, âUncle, did my mom have any birthmarks?â
James sounded surprised and after a few seconds replied, âShe had a petal birthmark on her waist. Why do you ask all of a sudden?â Edwinâs back hit the wall with a thud. The same cherry blossom birthmarkâit couldnât be a coincidence. He gripped the phone tightly. his long fingers turning pale.
âUncle, I think Iâll come visit grandma and grandpa in a few days. Iâve been missing them,â he said.
James laughed heartily. âYour grandparents will be thrilled to hear that. Bring Heidi along. Theyâve been missing her too.â
ing this, a chill flashed in Edwinâs eyes. Brenna had said his mother passed away right after his sister was born.
Hearing Everyone was immersed in grief. And his sister had been brought home by the familyâs nanny.
His sister hadnât even been taken to the nursery before being taken home, so there was no chance of a mixâup.
His sister had been deliberately swapped.
Considering this, his motherâs car accident definitely seemed suspicious. The goal must have been to switch the babies.
With these thoughts, Edwinâs usually gentle gaze grew steely. His fists clenched tightly.
Half an hour later, he returned to Heidiâs room.
Seeing his troubled expression, Heidi immediately asked, âEdwin, whatâs wrong? Is it my condition? Is it serious?â
