Chapter 222

I was living a peaceful life in Suncrest City until Simon suddenly called me.

"Caroline, I found a video that someone accidentally recorded years ago. It seems to have captured your biological child. Take a look," he said.

I was stunned and quickly nodded, urging him to send it to me.

In no time, he sent over the video. In it, Karen was holding a child in her arms, rocking him slightly, and then she nodded coldly.

I stared intently at the child's face, almost certain that he was my biological child.

His features resembled mine so much that I couldn't deny it.

And from Karen's behavior, it was clear she knew what my child looked like, which meant she was fully aware of the child swap.

I bit my lip, tears of anger streaming down my face.

That wretched Karen, she never told me the truth before she died.

She really intended to take this secret to the grave. If I hadn't discovered it, my biological child would have been lost forever.

The thought made me cry even harder, wishing I could dig Karen up and whip her three hundred times.

I quickly called Simon back. "Where did you get this video? What's going on?"

"That's my child, my child," I said, my voice trembling with emotion.

Simon tried to calm me down. "Caroline, don't get too worked up. If this child is indeed yours, we can find someone to create an age progression image and search the entire city."

"The video was recorded by a head nurse when your child was born. She noticed Karen's coldness towards the baby and decided to document it."

"She intended to show it to you as evidence so you could keep an eye on Karen and prevent her from mistreating the child. But the nurse got pregnant herself and went on maternity leave, and she forgot about it."

"And the day Karen took the child, he left the hospital and never returned. So I suspect the swap happened that day."

I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes as I clutched my phone.

"Simon, please, you have to find my child. He's still so young; he needs his mother."

Simon reassured me, "Caroline, don't worry. We'll find him. Now that we have his face, it will be easier."

After hanging up, I watched the video of my child over and over again, pounding the wall in frustration. The Jordan family was a den of devils.

I couldn't help but sob uncontrollably, and Savannah came in, startled by my state.

She rushed to hug me, asking frantically, "Caroline, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

I couldn't speak, just continued to cry.

Savannah glanced at the door, then held me tighter. "Caroline, talk to me. Keeping it inside will only make it worse. Let me help you."

I hugged her back and told her about the video Simon had sent me.

"Those bastards from the Jordan family swapped my child just days after he was born, and I never saw him again."

"I thought the money Karen left was for her three kids' education, but it turns out it was just to keep me from neglecting Aria."

"That bitch!" I cursed through gritted teeth.

Savannah hugged me tighter and cursed along with me.

"You're right, Caroline. The Jordan family are a bunch of bastards. Don't let them get to you. With the technology we have, we'll find your child. Trust me."

"It's just a matter of time. Believe in our country."

"The Jordan family's scheme won't succeed."

I nodded firmly, but the tears kept falling.

I couldn't stop thinking about how pitiful my child must be, out there somewhere.

I wondered if he was being well taken care of, if he had enough to eat, good clothes, and toys to play with.

Yves and Aria, who were the same age, were already picky eaters and starting to babble.

I worried if the family who took him in treated him well or if they were harsh with him.

All these thoughts made me anxious.

But I felt powerless, and that was the worst part.

I knew my child was somewhere on this planet, but I couldn't find him or hold him.

I cried in Savannah's arms for a long time, and she patiently comforted me until I calmed down.

I looked up at her and said, "Thank you."

Savannah smiled warmly. "I've always considered you my sister. No need to thank me."

"Caroline, don't be sad anymore. Brett is very perceptive now."

I nodded, got up, and went to the bathroom to wash my face with cold water.

I washed away the tears and snot, and used cold water to reduce the swelling on my face.

Once I looked more presentable, I came out.

Luckily, they hadn't noticed anything unusual and were still watching TV, laughing.

Seeing their adorable faces made my heart ache.

But I knew I couldn't go on like this. I had to be strong so my child could come back to me.

Just then, Kathy called, her tone mysterious.

"Guess where I am?"

I sounded tired, and she immediately picked up on it. "What's wrong? Have you been crying? Who upset you?"

I said it was nothing. "Just feeling a bit down. What's up?"

"I'm in Suncrest City, wanted to surprise you."

I was taken aback. "You're back?"

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

"I'm here on a business trip. There's a celebration in Suncrest City, and I'm here to tailor a suit for their boss. I'll be here for over a month."

"Great, we have a room ready for you. When do you land? Come stay with us."

Kathy chuckled. "I was waiting for you to say that. I've already landed and am on my way."

"Do you need Savannah to pick you up?"

"No need to trouble her. I can find my way. I've been there so many times."

I laughed. "Alright, come on over. I'll have Holly prepare a feast for you. Hope you're hungry."

Kathy's voice was full of excitement. "Of course, I'm always hungry. See you soon."
