Pneumonia?
Jane had never heard Patrick mention this illness before, and the date of the children’s diagnosis coincided exactly with the time the two children returned home.
Jane was stunned and didn’t know whom to believe.
Her mind was filled with scenes of bringing the two children home. How could they possibly have pneumonia if they were her own children?
“Can I see these two children?” Jane asked the doctor with a skeptical attitude.
The doctor took her to the incubator and had the nurse inside bring out the two children.
The first time she had come to see the children, they were in this position in the incubator. Watching the nurse approach Jane with the children stirred up a whirlwind of emotions in her heart, and she found it hard to contain herself.
The nurse placed the two children in the stroller. “These are your two children, and they are being taken care of very well. The surgery for the boy was also very successful. He should be able to leave the hospital in about another half month.”
The nurse’s words puzzled Jane even more. Why did everything they said differ from what she had seen?
Where were her children, really?
Jane carefully looked at the two sleeping children. They looked very delicate and showed no signs of distress.
Suddenly, she remembered what Mike had said before. Acting on impulse, she removed the children’s clothes and saw that both of them had birthmarks on their shoulders!
Jane was stunned. Could these really be her biological children? Then, who had she been caring for all these days?
Jane couldn’t believe what she was seeing as she looked at the two children.
The doctor beside her explained, “These two children were personally entrusted by Mr. Pansy, and we have taken good care of them. Please rest assured that they will be discharged soon.”
Jane’s mind was buzzing now, and she couldn’t even hear what they were saying.
She sat down weakly on the ground, and fortunately, the nurse beside her helped her up.
“I’ll take the two children in first!”
Jane still couldn’t believe it. Until now, she had trusted Patrick’s words very much and didn’t think he would lie to her about this.
“Can I have a DNA test with these two children?” This was the most reliable way to prove who her biological children were.
The doctor naturally had no objection and took Jane to prepare for the blood draw.
On the way, they happened to meet the attending doctor from before.
When he saw Jane, his face changed drastically, and he immediately approached her.
“Madam, are you feeling unwell?”
Jane shook off his hand fiercely.
“Madam has already seen the condition of the two children just now.”
Hearing this, the attending doctor’s face darkened, and he hurriedly caught up to explain.
“They don’t understand the children’s condition. They are not the children’s attending doctors. If you need any information, I know everything.”
The doctor tried to explain further, not wanting Jane to misunderstand too much.
Unfortunately, these words fell on deaf ears to Jane.
“Let’s wait for the DNA test results before drawing any conclusions.”
Watching Jane leave, the doctor panicked. He had never encountered such a situation before.
He hurried back to his office and immediately called Patrick.
“What did you say?” Patrick was in a meeting and immediately stopped all discussions.
“Why didn’t you stop her? How could you let her go pick up the children?”
On the other end, Patrick berated the doctor harshly.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Pansy, we didn’t know how things would turn out. It happened so quickly, and we didn’t even know when Mrs. would come back to the hospital today.”
Patrick couldn’t listen to any explanations and immediately rushed to the hospital, leaving everyone behind.
Meanwhile, Jane had completed the DNA test and was now quietly waiting for the results.
Her mind was in turmoil, filled with various scenes of the past few days spent with these two children.
She really liked these two children. If the test results were false, perhaps she should be happy.
However, after seeing the two children, a strange sadness filled her heart. Could this be the bond of blood?
The realization that the two children she had been caring for were not her own was terrifying!
Jane went through all possible explanations in her mind but couldn’t understand why the children turned out this way!
Half an hour passed, and their test results were out.
Hearing the nurse call out Jane’s name, she felt her heart leap into her throat.
At the same time, Patrick’s car arrived at the hospital.
“You and these two children are biologically related!”
Upon hearing this, Jane felt like her world was crumbling. She didn’t know whether to be happy or disappointed!
The children she had painstakingly cared for over the past month turned out not to be hers.
And her biological children were still lying in the hospital. How absurd!
And it was her most trusted husband who caused this result!
Jane looked at the test results and felt a sense of relief.
Thinking back to why Patrick didn’t let her breastfeed the two children and even refused to hold them, everything suddenly made sense!
Jane felt increasingly distressed, pounding her chest and venting her anger.
Patrick immediately stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
“Don’t hurt yourself. It’s all my fault!”
But at that moment, Jane felt nothing but disgust when she saw him and pushed him away fiercely.
“What’s going on? Aren’t you willing to tell me the truth?” Jane threw the test report at him.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, the attending doctor stepped forward and pulled the two of them into the office.
“Say whatever you need to say here. There are too many people outside.”
Then, the attending doctor left the office.
“I didn’t mean to deceive you. I just didn’t want to see you suffer so much during your confinement, so I came up with this plan.”
Patrick’s explanation seemed sincere.
Jane snorted. “Is that your so-called explanation?”
The thought of how happy she had been to see the children and how she had cared for them for so many days, only to find out they weren’t her own, was enough to make anyone break down.
“Where did these two children come from?” Jane asked again!
“These two children were brought from an orphanage just to ease your sorrow. As for our children, the girl is doing fine, but the boy has just undergone surgery.”
Hearing these words from Patrick, Jane couldn’t believe her ears.
What kind of secrets were there between husband and wife that required deceit and deception?
“So you mean, while my own children were undergoing surgery, I was happily holding someone else’s children? Is this the life you’ve given me?”
