Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After…

Chapter 714 Swap

Lydia’s words left Sandra surprised.

She hadn’t expected that Lydia would have the idea of swapping children. However, upon reflection, she thought it was somewhat understandable.

Back then, Sandra had swapped the children so that Lydia could enjoy the wealth and luxury of the Stone family. Moreover, Sandra believed that it was something Lydia deserved. Thus, over the years, she had never regretted her actions.

As for Lydia, swapping the children was a way to break free from her current difficult situation. An unhealthy child was bound to be overlooked in the Aniston family. If, in the future, the swapped child was more intelligent and endearing to the Aniston family, Lydia would likely gain their attention and respect.

Sandra nodded and said, “Alright! Lydia, I promise you! I’ll figure out a way to ensure you have a healthy child!”

Hearing Sandra’s reply, Lydia finally let out a sigh of relief.

Due to her broken bone and the recent cesarean section, she could only rest in bed for the time being.

Furthermore, Lydia had received news that Rocky had suddenly died in prison a few days ago. As a result, Lydia had no one left to assist her.

Now that Sandra was willing to handle this matter for her, Lydia felt quite at ease. After all, Sandra had succeeded in such a thing once before.

“Be careful and don’t get caught,” Lydia cautioned. Recently, she had a strange feeling, as if someone was secretly watching her. However, she couldn’t find any evidence. For the sake of caution, it was better to let Sandra handle this. After all, Lydia had just given birth and was under close scrutiny.

Sandra nodded and promised, “This will remain a secret between you and me. No one else will know.”

She was aware of the gravity of this matter. If this were to be exposed someday, Lydia’s situation would be even worse than it was now. Therefore, Sandra couldn’t afford to fail.

Sandra stayed with Lydia in the ward for the entire day. She didn’t leave the hospital until the servant arrived.

After all, the matter of swapping children required careful planning. Sandra needed to go home and think carefully about how to carry it out undetected.

In Lydia’s opinion, swapping the children wasn’t overly difficult. Both her son and Meryl’s son were currently in the neonatal department for treatment.

There were so many babies in the neonatal department. If a nurse accidentally mixed up the name tags, they would succeed.

Although Lydia’s son was premature, she had been hospitalized for fetal protection during pregnancy, the doctors had taken early precautions, and the child’s lung development was fairly good. Moreover, her baby was strong, while Meryl’s was small and thin. Newborn babies all looked alike, and it would be easy to confuse them if they were placed together.

Lydia silently prayed in her heart that this plan would succeed.

At this moment, Walter reported to Chandler everything that had happened outside the operating room that day in great detail.

Upon learning that Lydia’s biological mother had an affair with Morton, Chandler was somewhat astonished.

Morton was a well-known playboy, but Chandler hadn’t expected that he would have an affair with Sandra. Morton’s private life was incredibly chaotic.

Walter asked, “Lydia has just given birth and also received orthopedic treatment. She’ll probably have to rest in bed for a while. Should we still assign someone to keep an eye on her?”

Chandler nodded and said, “Continue to have someone monitor her.”

Meryl had been lying in Anne’s house for three days. She stayed at home every day and felt rather bored. Moreover, her son wasn’t by her side. Every time she thought of him, Meryl felt worried.

Fortunately, she had taken a photo of him. So, in the dead of night, she often took out the photo to relieve her longing.

On this day, Anne came back a bit late. It was almost dark outside. Before entering the house, Anne had just hung up the phone. It seemed that she had just finished arguing with someone, and she looked very angry.

Meryl asked, “What’s wrong?”

Anne said angrily, “It’s all because of Dante!”

Meryl asked, “What did he do to make you angry this time?”

“I wanted to take Bella to Havenbrook, but he didn’t agree!”

Meryl asked in surprise, “You’re going to Havenbrook?”

Anne nodded and said, “The job discrimination in Havenbrook isn’t as serious as it is here. As long as I want to work, I can keep working!”

She thought she had a good figure and appearance, but the results of several job interviews were disappointing. Because she had given birth to a child, almost all companies rejected her resume.

Anne knew that young models were more popular. If she continued to work in this field, it would only become more difficult for her in the future. However, the employment environment in Havenbrook was much better. She had a solid foundation in dance and could teach dance classes or deportment classes to aspiring actors without any problem. Max had promised her a good salary.

Anne was actually quite tempted.

In fact, she didn’t plan to live in Havenbrook for the rest of her life. She thought that once her job in Havenbrook was stable, she could find a way to return to Kingsdom.

But as soon as Dante heard that Anne was going to take Bella away, he got angry and said that she just wanted to date other men.

Anne felt wronged. She was going there only for work!

Meryl analyzed objectively. “It’s normal that Dante doesn’t want to be separated from Bella. After all, you don’t have a stable job yet, and you want to take the girl there… Bella might not adapt well to a completely new environment, which could lead to a weakened immune system or getting sick. These are things you have to consider.”

Anne knew that she would face many difficulties, but she had no other choice. Although she was a mother, she also needed to have her own career to set a good example for Bella. It was difficult for Anne to find a job in Kingsdom. Although she wasn’t short of money, dancing was her lifelong dream.

A few years ago, when she got injured and the doctor announced that she could no longer be a professional dancer, she was extremely disappointed. Anne’s dream had been on the verge of coming true, but suddenly, she lost the opportunity. She had been lost and didn’t know what to do. Becoming a model was a compromise out of helplessness.

Anne asked Meryl plaintively, “So, what do you think I should do?”

Things never seemed to go as one hoped. Meryl was silent for a moment.

Then, she said, “If you really want to go to Havenbrook to strive for your future, maybe you could leave Bella in Kingsdom for now. You can come back on weekends and holidays. After a few months, when your job in Havenbrook is stable, you can figure out a way to bring Bella over.”

Hearing that she had to be separated from Bella, Anne was stunned.

Anne’s emotions were complicated, and she said, “I’ll think about it some more!”
