âSelina, since youâve brought it up, I wonât conceal it from you any longer.
â
Selinaâs father sighed and began to unfold the tale of past events.
âThat child was severely injured and declared dead after the doctors attempted to resuscitate her.
Gail was devastated and fainted from the shock.
Her husband was equally heartbroken.
Unable to face the sight of the deceased baby, and preoccupied with caring for Gail, he asked me to handle the childâs funeral arrangements.
But as I cradled the baby in my arms, I noticed she was still faintly breathing.
I wanted to inform Gail and her husband, but when I thought of you, who was just three years old at the time, a malicious idea took hold.
That child was Gailâs firstborn.
Naturally, she would invest more energy and love into her first child.
If the baby had truly died, she would have been mourning for the rest of her life.
But if you could replace the void left by the baby, she would redirect her love for her daughter onto you, allowing you to grow up as a privileged young lady.
So, I decided to keep it a secret.
Yet, I couldnât bring myself to harm the child.
It just so happened that one of your motherâs distant cousins visited Skrix for infertility treatment.
I secretly gave the child to her, without revealing her true identity.
I merely claimed that she was an abandoned baby I found in a trash can.
â
His words left Selina in a state of shock.
She hadnât anticipated that her father would have meddled in this.
âWhat happened afterward? How did the baby fare after she was given away?â
âLater, about six months after your motherâs distant cousin took the baby, she became pregnant.
Eventually, she informed us that the baby had fallen ill and died.
â
The baby had succumbed to an illness?
Had she discarded the baby because she now had her own child, unwilling to raise anotherâs offspring, and sent the child to an orphanage instead?
This thought ran through Selinaâs mind.

âSelina, can you now tell me why youâre suddenly interested in these old stories? Why did you want to discuss those events?â
Her fatherâs voice carried a hint of apprehension.
Selina snapped back to reality and replied, âDad, I think I may have found my godmotherâs biological daughter.
â
âWhat? That child is still alive? Where is she now?â
Selina remained silent, her eyes icy.
âIâll fill you in on the details when I return.
For now, just remember, that child has been dead for a long time!â
No one was aware of the past.
Gail and her husband believed that their child had died.
Therefore, even if Rosalynn was indeed their daughter, no one should discover her true identity.
And at this point, her first task was to find a way to dissolve Brian and Rosalynnâs marriage.
