Giving Birth To A Son To Secure His Status

The nurse said, "It was a boy. Because I lost the child, the pregnant woman caused a scene at the hospital. The hospital's reputation was greatly affected. I was also fired from public office and my qualifications as a nurse were revoked. From then on, I could no longer do any related work. Later, I could only do some cleaning and cooking work."

She looked calm at the mention of what had happened back then, but who was to say that it hadn't affected her much? It had changed her life.

Yash Pratap said, "What does this have to do with us?"

Hari continued to ask, "Then do you know how the child was lost?"

"I'm not too sure. At that time, the hospital and the family had settled matters in private, so the family didn't call the police. Someone saw a man come and secretly take the child away, but surveillance wasn't advanced at that time. We weren't sure, so we couldn't determine anything."

"What happened to the pregnant woman after that?" Hari asked.

"The family got compensation from the hospital and left quickly. But only the pregnant woman refused to leave and kept searching around the hospital. Later, she went crazy and wandered around the hospital every day. I heard that her husband divorced her too." The nurse looked guilty as she said this. "It was my fault for not doing my job well..."

Tears welled up in her cloudy eyes. They were filled with shame for what had happened back then.

"What are you trying to say?" Yash Pratap questioned the nurse, then turned to Shivam. "What are you trying to say? You found someone to tell me a story and conclude that my son doesn't belong to me, huh?"

"Hari, let Shina's former manager in."

"Ex-manager? Didn't her ex-manager die in a car accident? Why are you still pretending to be a god?" Yash Pratap asked.

Soon, Shina's former manager came out. He was now a gray-haired old man.

Yash Pratap still remembered what Shina's ex-manager looked like. He immediately recognized that he was not a fake.

Kareena nodded gently. She knew this former manager too.

Shivam said, "In the few days when the child was lost in the hospital, you appeared a few times. According to the investigation, you weren't married back then, nor did you have friends who gave birth to children. Shina was even staying in a private hospital during that time. Why did you go to a women's and children's health hospital?"

"I was asked by Shina to go to the maternity and child care center and take a boy away."

"Who was the child?"

"It's Tapas Pratap!" the former manager said without hesitation.

When Tapas Pratap heard this, he did not believe it at all. "Impossible! How could I be the child of another? I'm the child of my mother and father! You're too ridiculous!

"You've been hiding outside for so many years, and you didn't get into a car accident at all. Did you come here just to stab me in the back at a time like this?" Yash Pratap didn't believe it at all even though he had just witnessed what happened to Tinki.

But the more he was slapped in the face, the more he had to maintain his dignity.

The former manager said in a low voice, "No matter what you say, it's confirmed that I took someone else's child and gave it to Shina to be her son. Back then, Shina wasn't pregnant at all. Only she and I know about this. Every time we faced the doctor, we tried our best to fool him.

"In addition, the standards of prenatal examinations at that time were not high. We only had a few prenatal examinations, so no one else knew about this."

"You're lying! I slept with Shina. How could I not know?"

"You two did share the same bed, but don't forget that Shina is an actress. Not only does she know how to act, but she also knows how to make props. She's more than skilled enough to deceive you! She instructed me to lie to you, and she also instructed me to steal the child. These things bound me to her bit by bit. I couldn't refuse, and I didn't know how to. She said that as long as I dared to expose her matters, she'd never let me off!

"She's a star, and you're her husband. How could I refuse? I had no choice but to do as she said."

The former manager was filled with righteous indignation. She looked both regretful and guilty. "How many times have I wanted to return that child? But at that time, a large number of nannies and caregivers were watching over the child. I didn't have a chance.

"I couldn't stand the condemnation of my conscience, and I was afraid that heaven would let me continue to do bad things. Once, when I got into a car accident, I thought that I might as well pretend I was dead and never go back. That way, I could get rid of all this. That's why I didn't die. I didn't want to die, but I had to 'die'."

When Tapas Pratap heard these words, he was about to break down. If it weren't for Tinki, he could still try his best to reject these stories.

However, after what had happened to Tinki, it already verified the authenticity of these stories. He really had no reason or excuse to refute.

His eyes were red, and his fingers were beginning to tremble.

Yash Pratap was still holding on. "Impossible! Impossible! That's impossible!"

Old Master Pratap and Old Madam Pratap shook their heads secretly. Everyone was already immersed in the story. They knew that the authenticity of this story was probably indisputable.

The former manager said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I've already sent Tapas Pratap's crazy mother to a sanatorium and asked the nurse to take good care of her. I owe her far more than that. But I don't have the ability to pay her back anymore. Tapas Pratap, go find your mother or do a new DNA test with Yash Pratap. The truth will be revealed!"

Yash Pratap refused crazily. "Impossible! Shina can't have lied to me again! At that time, I touched the fetus in her stomach! This is impossible! Shivam hired you to make up a story, right?"

The former manager looked at his expression and said calmly, "Everything I said is the truth. I said it with a clear conscience. Besides, Shina can't have children anymore. How could she have gotten pregnant then?"

"Why can't she have children? She gave birth to Tinki. Why couldn't she have given birth to Tapas?" Yash Pratap asked.

"That's because after she gave birth to Tinki, she was always worried that her relationship with you wasn't stable. After all, Kareena had already given birth to Shivam Pratap. To a rich family who valued their children, Tinki alone wasn't enough to ensure her stable status. Besides, Tinki isn't of the Pratap family's bloodline.

"So, she tried everything to give birth to a boy to establish her position!"

"In order to give birth to a son, Shina worked hard to get pregnant so that she could achieve her goal as soon as possible," the former manager said. "I'm sure Mr. Pratap knows about this, right?"

Yash Pratap naturally knew this. After all, Shina had always said that she wanted to give birth to another son for him. He was happy to cooperate.

However, Yash Pratap did not know what Shina was really thinking.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, the former manager continued, "She tried hard to get pregnant. Of course, she got pregnant twice. However, every time she was pregnant for a certain period of time, she would immediately go for a check-up to see if it was a daughter or a son. It was just that the results of those two tests weren't what she wanted. The results were always a daughter.

"Shina had already given birth to Tinki. She already had a daughter. Another daughter was useless to her. Therefore, when the test results showed that it was a daughter, Shina didn't hesitate to abort the child."

When everyone heard this, they felt that Shina was really ruthless. In order to stabilize her status, she even got abortions.

Yash Pratap was also shocked. Clearly, what he was hearing now about Shina's pregnancies and miscarriages were different from what he knew.

Back then, Shina had gotten pregnant twice in a row and lost the babies. All he knew was that Shina's body was weak, and it was easy for her to miscarry. Hence, he only felt heartache and not suspicion.

"After she aborted those two babies, she never got pregnant again. However, she was afraid that you would go back to Kareena and Shivam, so she prioritized getting pregnant again.

"However, the doctor had bad news and said that her two abortions had already hurt her body greatly and she wouldn't get pregnant again. There was no choice, so Shina made a decision. She faked her pregnancy! However, she could never give birth like that, so she had to find a child. Moreover, it had to be a boy.

"However, it was not easy to find a new and healthy baby boy. She could not find one and forced me to go to the hospital to ask if there were any boys. She even asked me to steal one back.

"I was forced to do it. I went to the hospital and found a pregnant woman without family to take care of her. I took her child away. That child is Tapas Pratap."

Everyone fell silent when the former manager finished speaking.

Tapas Pratap stood rooted to the ground. He had never thought that his mother, who had always doted on him, was actually the real murderer who caused his family to be destroyed! She caused his mother to get a divorce and go crazy...

It turned out that her love for him was not for him but merely for her own status.

How ridiculous!

He felt as though his world had collapsed. His hands and feet went cold as he stood rooted to the spot.

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!" Yash Pratap muttered.

It wasn't so much that he didn't want to believe that Shina had done all this. It was more that he wasn't willing to admit his failure. He was unwilling to admit that from beginning to end, everything he had done was a joke. Everything he did amounted to nothing.

He backed away and pointed at the former manager. "No way. You're lying!"

"I know that there's no evidence. So today, I brought Tapas Pratap's birth certificate from back then that shows his mother's blood type. I also brought Shina's abortion report at the time and the maternity examination report that deemed her to be infertile."

The butler stepped forward, took the report, and handed it to Old Master Pratap.

Old Master Pratap saw the report of the two baby girls that Shina had apparently 'miscarried'. It showed that the children were healthy. He couldn't help but be moved. "She's really vicious! They were two innocent children!"

When everyone heard this, their thoughts were similar to Old Master Pratap's.

The former manager smiled ruefully. "I've also ruined my life because of this and have been living incognito. I have no need to lie to you about this. It's just that Tapas..."

There was love in the manager's eyes, but also guilt and self-reproach. "Tapas, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I got you into this. If I hadn't carried you away, you would have lived in an ordinary but loving family. You would have lived a life where you didn't have to take on so much."

Tapas Pratap avoided him. "Shut up!"

Yash Pratap seemed to be enlightened and said, "Yes, shut up! You're just trash that Shivam found to drive a wedge between us father and son! Tapas, come over and call Grandpa. Let Grandpa arrange for us to be listed in the genealogy. We'll acknowledge our ancestors."

Everyone looked at them as if they were watching a show. At this moment, no one questioned the former manager anymore. They were all thinking that Shina was really ruthless.

They looked at the father and son and felt that things were unpredictable. Back then, Yash Pratap didn't know any better, abandoned his wife and son, and was disregarded by everyone. He did all those things for such a woman. In the end, everything went to waste. He deserved it.

"Dad, let Tapas and I be listed on the genealogy. Tapas and I are back now!" Yash Pratap grabbed Old Master Pratap's hand and said.

Old Master Pratap sighed repeatedly. Fortunately, Shivam had exposed the true situation of this family today. Otherwise, it would have been a great humiliation to record them in the Pratap family's genealogy.

And Yash Pratap still had the cheek to continue fooling around.

Tapas Pratap shook off Yash Pratap's hand. He had always been a cunning person, but he was hot-blooded, after all. At this moment, he really could not accept this farce anymore.

He said, "Since I'm not from the Pratap family, there's no need for me to stay here and accept your pity! What's so great about the Pratap family? The Pratap family isn't the only one in this world!"

He turned to go.

Yash Pratap pulled him back. "Tapas! You're a member of the Pratap family. You're the son of the Pratap family. The Pratap family is mine, and it's yours! You can't leave!"

Tapas Pratap was already awake. Perhaps only Yash Pratap refused to wake up. He said, "Didn't you hear? Didn't you see the evidence? What's the use of staying? Do you want to leave only after being humiliated even more?"

Yash Pratap looked at the unfamiliar and disobedient young man in front of him and could not accept reality for a moment.

Tapas Pratap shook off his hand and strode out, staggering.

Yash Pratap's eyes were dull as he watched Tapas Pratap disappear before his eyes.

Old Master Pratap said, "Since the facts have been investigated, Yash, those two children are no longer able to enter the Pratap family, nor are they qualified to have their names listed in the Pratap family's genealogy. As for you... I've always thought that I was superior to others because I was powerful and talented. However, I didn't educate my son well. It's my fault. It's all my fault!"

When everyone heard his words, they could not help but feel flustered.
