Chapter 461
Her eyes didn’t sparkle anymore; she had lost faith in the world.
Grace went on, “Back then, watching Christopher be there for Leah, put all his care and attention
towards her, and watching Leah go into the delivery room, made me green with envy. My baby and
Leah’s were born almost on the same day. It was just a matter of morning and afternoon, so… I
secretly swapped them.”
Hearing this, Allison’s pupils dilated. She wanted to speak, but no words came out. She initially
thought, that not being Grace’s biological child was the end of the story, but she never expected the
truth behind it to be like this.
She was actually Christopher and Leah’s daughter!
It took her a while to finally stutter, “M…Mom… are you messing with me? This can’t be true…”
Grace shook her head. “No, it’s true. Your biological mother is Leah.”
Everything went black before Allison’s eyes, and the world seemed to shift around her in an instant.
She closed her eyes, exhaled deeply, and asked, “So, Penelope
is…”
Seeing how things escalated, there was no point in hiding anymore. “Penelope is me and Christopher’s
daughter.”
“So, my brother, my father, aren’t they the innocent ones in all this?” Allison recalled how Joshua
always had a bright smile whenever he saw her. He was always so good to her.
“Did my dad know?”
“He didn’t at first, but he found out later.” Grace closed her eyes in sorrow.
It was shortly before Allison’s 11th birthday. Due to a fever, a blood test from the doctor revealed that
Allison’s blood type didn’t match Joshua’s. He had confronted
Grace.
Grace didn’t hide it, and she told him the truth. Joshua was so furious, he stormed out.
Three days later, on Allison’s birthday, Joshua came back. From then on, his relationship with Grace
began to deteriorate.
Allison remembered that day, she waited all night for her father to come home with her favorite cake.
His face looked terrible during that time. Looking back now, it all made sense.
Silence filled the room. Neither Allison nor Grace knew what to say.
After about three minutes, Allison asked, “Does Penelope know?”
Grace shook her head.
“Mom, just because of jealousy?” Allison was confused. “Just because of jealousy, you changed the
fate of two families?”
“It’s an error I made back then, and I’ve regretted it for over twenty years. The one I owe the most to is
you; it’s all my fault. Penelope has nothing to do with this. She doesn’t know.”
“She doesn’t know? She’s lived my life for twenty years, and you think a simple ‘she doesn’t know’ can
erase that? You said it has nothing to do with her. What about me? I’m the innocent one here.”
“I’m sorry, Allie…” This sounded hollow, but other than that, Grace didn’t know what else to say. From NôvelDrama.Org.
“You told me this, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Flanagan family?”
Grace had thought about it. “Actually, I was planning to take this secret to my grave. I never thought
things would turn out this way. It’s completely understandable if you want to tell the Flanagan family.
They are your family, and they are your parents.
“Penelope has had a happy life for the past twenty years. She’s your sister, and you’re hers. The things
she did wrong, you should blame me. It’s all my fault. This has nothing to do with the two of you, so I’ll
take responsibility for my mistakes.” Penelope was now engaged to Lucian. She saved Miranda’s life,
the Lindbergs wouldn’t refuse to marry her, and Leah wouldn’t make things difficult for her because of
this truth.
Allison suddenly remembered something. “Oh yeah, do you remember my bracelet? You took it off and
gave it to Penelope. That bracelet was given to me by Lucian.”
