"Yes. If my guess is correct, after switching the child back then, Lisa brought her back to her old home
and asked her mother to raise the child.
"She also wanted the child to be fed poison every day so that it would look like the child had died
because of ill health."
Yale said, "No wonder Molly said that she never had enough to eat, but she would always be given a
bottle of milk. By the looks of it, the poison was in the milk."
He gripped his fists tightly. "There was a flood back then. Her grandmother tricked her and told her to
go back to the house and get some important documents.
"That was why she was washed away by the flood and disappeared without a trace."
When Linus heard how it all happened, his expression turned extremely cold. He couldn't care less
about anything else as he kicked the door open.
But the yard had been empty for a long time. They didn't find any signs of people living there.
"It's deserted."
A woman passing by spoke up, "Are you looking for Madam Todd? She left a long time ago."
"Ma'am, are you familiar with the Todd family?" Olivia didn't have any cash on her. She took off her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpearl earrings and stuffed them into the woman's hands.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw them. Judging by these people's cars and clothes, she could
tell that they were rich. They wouldn't give her fake stuff.
She immediately stuffed the earrings into her pocket. "Of course. We were neighbors for decades. I
know tons of things about her family."
"Ma'am, has Madam Todd ever taken care of a little girl?"
"Oh, yes, that girl. She was a pitiful little girl. I heard that her mother worked as a maid for a rich lady in
the city, and that's amazing.
"Every time she came back to the village, she wore expensive stuff. She looked like she had become a
rich lady herself. She also looked down on the rest of us, whom she grew up with."
Olivia asked, "Were they nice to the little girl?"
"No way. Lisa's father passed away when she was young. Her mother brought her along when she got
married to Mr. Wright.
"Mr. Wright was an old codger, and he would do those sorts of things to Lisa since she was young.
Later on, Lisa went to the city to look for work.
After she made a name for herself, she never cared about her parents.
"Still, Lisa wasn't a decent person either. After she got rich, she didn't bring her daughter with her to live
a better life in the city. She even sent her daughter to Madam Todd, who hated her.
"Madam Todd would hit and shout at the little girl from time to time. The little girl was small and skinny,
and she never had enough to eat. I often brought her home to feed her."
The woman sighed. "But that girl was unlucky. When she was seven, she was washed away by the
flood."
Everything matched up now. Yale and Linus listened as the woman rambled on about the past.
Molly lived her earlier years wandering and suffering, while the fake young lady lived a great life in her
place.
In the hospital, Tatiana was keeping Molly company. Molly's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her
eyes.
"What's wrong? Do you feel like crying again?"
"Mrs. Heath, other than Yale, no one has been this nice to me before."
Tatiana pulled Molly into her embrace. She felt her nose being blocked as well. "Silly child, I told you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat I'll take good care of you in the future."
The two found each other quite familiar. When the nurse came in and saw the scene, she thought that
they were mother and daughter. After Tatiana's explanation, the nurse apologized and left.
"I'm sorry. You two look so much alike that I thought she was your daughter."
Tatiana studied Molly in detail. Most of the swelling on Molly's face had subsided, so her true
appearance was revealed. Her eyebrows and eyes looked a lot like the members of the Benson family.
What was going on? Was it a coincidence?
Molly smiled self-mockingly. "Mrs. Heath, how could someone like me be worthy of resembling you? I
Linus' call came in, and Tatiana answered the call.
"What did you say? Molly is—"
The phone in Tatiana's hand fell to the floor. Tatiana was shocked.
Molly looked at her, puzzled. "What's the matter, Mrs. Heath?"
Tatian pulled Molly into her embrace as tears streamed down her face. "Child, stop calling me Mrs.
Heath. Call me Mom."
