I handed them the test report, gesturing for them to see for themselves.
Except for Jade, who was afraid of the results, and Rose, who had been insisting that Joy was her biological daughter, everyone else crowded forward to look.
My parents looked first. After reading it, their expressions grew serious, and they remained silent.
The test report was then passed to Joy and Aron, who had been eagerly waiting.
Upon seeing the results, both of them showed expressions of disbelief.
“How is this possible?” they said in unison.

Joy couldn’t accept this reality at all. She frantically flipped through both paternity
test reports, staring intently at those two crucial lines.
After a long moment, she suddenly looked up at me and demanded, “Did you tamper with the results because you don’t want me to come home?”
She quickly turned to Jade and shouted, “It must be you. You’re afraid I’ll come back and take away everything you have now, so you deliberately interfered with the results, didn’t you?”
Jade looked confused.
The paternity test report fell to the
ground and was picked up by a slightly
rough hand. Moments later, Rose

Rose, who had been claiming that Joy was her biological daughter, began muttering to herself after seeing the line on the test results that read “Lily Ryan and Roy Ryan are the biological parents of Joy Lancaster.”
She had a bad temper, and now she was grabbing Joy’s hand, alternating between crying and laughing.
“You’re not their daughter? How could you possibly be my daughter?”
I couldn’t help but think to myself: Joy really is her biological daughter, but now she’s not happy about it either.

up and glanced at it. She immediately jumped up with joy and hugged me: “Jessie! She’s not your sister. Then I must be your sister, right?”
“Of course.” I ruffled her hair. Jade had
been truly frightened these past few days. The originally lively, cheerful, and confident girl had been silent for several days.
The three people who couldn’t accept this reality were each still lost in their own
worlds.
At this moment, I said, “Aren’t you curious? You clearly entered Lily’s hospital room and switched the babies, so why do the paternity test results now show that the child you raised isn’t my parents‘ child?” 4/6

Rose stared at me intently.

Jade got lucky that Christmas and wasn’t taken away by Rose, but what if I hadn’t discovered it at the time?
Rose had indeed carried out her plan to take Jade away. Should I treat it as if nothing happened just because it was unsuccessful?
Since Rose had voluntarily appeared, I should expose her crimes from twenty
years ago.
Rose, who had always thought her biological daughter was living a wealthy life, watched me, but I smiled slowly at her: “When you entered the hospital room

room, did you?”
She was suddenly stunned.
“I switched the baby you placed in my family’s crib back again.”

All these years, harboring malice toward the children of wealthy families, she had taken all that hatred out on her own
biological daughter.
