Nursery.

Veronica pressed herself against the glass wall of the nursery. Her eyes filled with excitement as she watched the

two tiny bundles of joy sleeping peacefully in

their incubators.

“Grandma, look at them! They’re so tiny and adorable! The girl looks like my brother, and the boy is the spitting

image of Ellinor!”

Marissa’s gaze was filled with affection and a touch of sadness as she looked at her great-grandchildren. But her

brow was furrowed, hinting at the worry and complexity beneath.

Unlike the simple-minded Veronica, the elderly woman had more on her mind.

After a moment, Marissa turned to Ida, who had accompanied them. Her voice was grave as she asked, “Young

lady, I understand you’re a long-time friend of Ellinor. I’m aware of the situation, but I’d like to confirm it with you.

Are you certain it was Theo who took one of the children from the delivery room when Ellinor gave birth?”

Ida nodded solemnly. “Yes, we all saw it with our own eyes.”

Marissa’s brow furrowed. “But our people have checked. Theo did book a return flight on the day of Ellinor’s

delivery, but he didn’t board the plane. There’s no record of him entering the country.

How can a man who has not boarded a plane or entered the country appear in Ellinor’s delivery room?”

Ida, while adjusting her gold-rimmed glasses, took Marissa’s question as a defense for her grandson. Her tone was

cold as she replied, “Marissa, we have no reason to lie to you. Mr. Blanchet’s niece, Belinda, was also present. She

saw Mr. Blanchet. If you don’t believe Belinda, you can examine the hospital’s surveillance footage. See if it was

your immaculately dressed grandson who entered the delivery room and took the first-born child!”

Marissa sighed. “Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not doubting you. But the information we have doesn’t show any

sign of Theo boarding or entering the country, which is very strange. I just wanted to know if you might have

mistaken someone else for him. If it really was Theo, that would be extremely odd.”

Ida realized that Marissa wasn’t being unreasonable and softened her gaze slightly. “What about in M State? Have

you been able to contact Mr. Blanchet or anyone close to him in the past few days?”

Marissa shook her head helplessly.

Veronica turned around, her face now reflecting her worry. “We can’t reach my brother or Collin right now. We’re

all worried about what might have happened.

And there’s something else that’s strange. The plane that my brother booked was delayed by three hours for

unknown reasons and then crashed into the sea due to an unidentified failure.

Thankfully, neither my brother nor Collin were on it.”

Upon hearing Veronica’s account, Ida’s eyes slightly narrowed.

She and Chase had also found that Theo had booked a return flight but hadn’t boarded. They, too, had found it

strange.

But after learning that Theo hadn’t boarded, they hadn’t paid attention to what happened to the plane.

So, it had crashed?

“Could it be…? Someone must have created the illusion of Mr. Blanchet being in a plane crash but didn’t manage to

manipulate Theo’s boarding information in time, and you found out.”
