Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 509 The Cries of Despair

"This isn’t the same deceased child!" Although all newborns look similar, the previous deceased child had a darker complexion and rougher skin because it had already passed away. The baby currently present was soft and tender, and it clearly had a pulse! "Don’t talk nonsense!" The young nurse pushed Rachel away and rushed off, pushing the cart quickly. Rachel wanted to chase after her, but remembering her own unfinished business, she instinctively glanced at the Stone family's hospital room. Then, taking advantage of the crowd, she quickly returned to her own room and carried her son back up. When Loretta returned, Rachel was still preoccupied with the thought of that other child. "I have the money. Give me the child." Loretta did not want to see Rachel for a moment longer. Rachel kissed her son with great reluctance, then steeled her heart and handed the child over to Loretta. The moment the baby left Rachel’s embrace, it suddenly began to cry, reaching out as if trying to grasp something, seemingly sensing that his mother was abandoning him. Rachel’s tears instantly welled up. "Son…" "That’s enough. Hurry up and leave." Loretta covered the child’s mouth and quickly turned and went downstairs. Rachel instinctively wanted to follow and see, but just then, a shrill wail erupted from Ruby’s hospital room."My baby! Someone help! My baby isn’t breathing!" Ruby was crying and screaming. People quickly rushed into Ruby’s hospital room. Rachel suddenly realized something and instinctively looked in the direction the young nurse had fled. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the floor. "Oh my goodness! What if they suspect me?" Rachel had been wandering around this area for the past few days, and some of the bodyguards already recognized her. She quickly scrambled up and ran out, tumbling as she went. Passing the second floor, she heard that she had given birth—a boy, they said. The child looked healthy and robust. The Luke family people surrounded the baby, showing great affection. Rachel’s eyes were wet. Her son would definitely have a good life in the Luke family. Rachel took one last look at the child, then turned and quickly left the hospital. The video ended there. The next person to appear was Xenon. Xenon addressed the video, saying, "I retrieved this segment of the video. Later, when I tried to show it to my brother, the footage was already missing, and the entire surveillance system was also destroyed. I managed to ask my wife to secretly edit and save this video when others weren’t paying attention. Regardless of whether they can see it in the future, I hope this video can be seen by the Stone family." "It’s obvious that the young nurse is suspicious. The deceased infant she was carrying at first was the daughter my sister-in-law believed she had suffocated while feeding her. However, my real niece was swapped out by that young nurse. Due to the camera angle, we couldn't see where the young nurse took the child. But my niece must still be alive."As Xenon said this, his eyes were bloodshot. "I don’t know who the Stone family has offended. I also don’t know if this matter is related to that masked man. As long as I am alive for one day, I will definitely find my niece. However, for the safety of my wife and children, I cannot speak about this matter until I have concrete evidence." The video cut off here, followed by some static. Then, the time stamp on the video jumped forward by one month. The video footage appeared again. Xenon was holding his daughter, and Xenon's wife was playing with her nearby. The family of three looked very happy. But just then, a servant walked in. "Someone is looking for you outside." Xenon paused slightly, and Xenon's wife instinctively grasped his wrist. "Can you not go?" "You know that if I don’t go, neither you nor the child will survive." Xenon’s eyes were shadowed. The woman who had been assigned to them previously walked over. She had entered the Stone family as a maid to care for Xenon's wife's daughter. "The girl needs to be fed. Hurry up and give me the child. Also, sir, since someone is looking for you outside, you should go quickly." "Jane, you had better not do anything to my wife and child. Otherwise, even if I have to sacrifice my own life, I will kill you." Xenon, a gentle scholar, had developed a hint of violence and murderous intent in his eyes in just one month. No one knew what had happened during that month, but the change in Xenon’s demeanor was apparent. The woman named Jane met Xenon’s ruthless gaze, her heart suddenly seizing up. Her eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered her head to help Xenon's wife with the child.
