NovelEnglishChapter 425 "Push, Mrs. Linwood, push! I can see the baby's head!" The woman lying on the delivery table gritted her teeth and pushed, following the doctor's instructions. A moment later, the sharp cry of a newborn filled the room-it was over. The baby had arrived.
"It's a girl! Congratulations, Mrs. Linwood. You have a beautiful daughter," the nurse announced, beaming. The woman on the bed was utterly exhausted. Her blonde hair clung to her pale, sweat-soaked cheeks, but she barely seemed to notice her own weakness.
"Letsee her. Please, bring my baby over," she managed breathlessly, her voice trembling with urgency. The doctor and nurses worked quickly, cleaning the baby and wrapping her in a soft, pastel blanket before placing her gently in her mother's arms.

You're the little heiress of the Linwood family now, you know that?" Linwood family? Heiress? Claire's consciousness snapped awake at that moment, those words echoing in her mind.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Adah's face-closer and younger than she remembered. Even disheveled, Adah was beautiful, barely looking older than her mid-twenties, much younger than Claire's memories from her previous life.
But hadn't she died? How could she possibly be seeing Adah again? And why did Adah look so young? Claire's mind buzzed, teetering on the edge of disbelief.
Everything felt surreal-almost absurd-yet the harsh scent of antiseptic hung in the air, nurses moved briskly through her blurred vision, and the steady beeping of medical monitors anchored her to reality.
It was real.
She had been reborn-right at the very moment of her own birth.
Claire stared blankly at Adah, her thoughts a tangled mess.
From the hospital bed, Adah propped herself up with effort and leaned close, pressing a gentle kiss to her newborn daughter's cheek.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe shock of it made Claire's eyes widen.
Adah had kissed her? Three years spent with the Linwood family in her past life, and never once had she dared dream of such love from her mother. She hadn't even hoped for a hug, much less a kiss filled with such tenderness.
Now, living all over again, Claire finally realized she had been born into Adah's hope and longing. On the day of her birth, Adah had kissed her her long-awaited daughter.
For ten months, Adah had carried her, and at least once, she had truly loved her.
But after Claire was lost, thad eroded that love until there was nothing left.
These thoughts swirled through Claire's mind. By the tshe cback to herself, she was already being carried out of the delivery room in the nurse's arms, with Adah right beside her.
That's when she saw Nathan-the man she'd cto despise.
