“Alright.”
Norah lowered her head as she agreed.
The butler led the others out.
Norah nced at Sharon, still unconscious on the hospital bed; a sh of viciousness crossed her eyes. A scalpel slipped into her palm from who–knew–where, and in an instant, she pressed it against Sharon’s throat. <fn3012> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? fι?dnοvel</fn3012>
“You ruined my daughter’s life; now you’ll pay with yours!”
Her hand trembled, her body trembling along with it; but in the end, fear won. <i>No</i><i>! </i>I can’t let <i>her </i><i>off </i><i>that </i><i>easily</i>.
Norah quickly pulled the scalpel back, feigningposure; instead, she slipped a packet of white powder into the water kettle.
The powder dissolved almost instantly, vanishing without a trace.
She began tidying up the room.
Sharon woke about an hour and a halfter.
She blinked at the stark white ceiling, disoriented for a moment, unsure where she was.
“Ms. Sharon, you’re awake?”
Norah greeted her with a broad, guileless smile.
Sharon’s memory finally settled.
She bolted upright, only to tug at her abdomen; pain ripped through her, forcing a cry from her lips.
“Ms. Sharon, the doctor already examined you. He said you just had a miscarriage, your body is weak, and you need to rest. From today on, I’ll be taking care of everything for you. You can call me Norah.”
Norah introduced herself gently, then poured a cup of warm water and handed it <b>to </b><b>Sharon </b>
“Your body lost a lot of fluids. Drink some water first.”

Sharon eyed her warily, making no move to lift a hand.

Norah didn’t seem offended. In front of Sharon, she drank down the cup of water herself.
Then she poured another and offered it again.
Only then did Sharon ept it.
She was parched.
Sharon understood her situation–her body was far too weak. If she wanted to escape, she first had to recover. The people here weren’t exactly friendly; they might even be nning to kill her. But she had no other choice.
For now, Norah seemed trustworthy.
Sharon hurriedly drank down the water.
Seeing this, the corner of Norah’s lips lifted in the faintest smile–gone as quickly as it appeared.
“I’m hungry. Go get me something to eat.”
Sharon spoke up, and Norah quickly left the room.
Sharon pressed herself to the window, looking out; bodyguards were everywhere. A wave of despair swept through her.
Her phone was gone. She had no means ofmunication. <i>Is </i><i>Jensen </i>nning to cut me off from the outside world <ipletely</i>? <i>Why</i><i>? </i><i>Everything </i><i>was </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>go </i><i>ording </i><i>to </i>n–so why am I the one trapped now?
Sharon thought of Natalie.
“Damn it! Even after I took back the life that should’ve been mine, why is she still better off than me? How could she possibly be the Stone family’s daughter? That’s impossible. Wait- back then we were switched at birth. Could it be… I’m the real Stone family heiress?”
She muttered to herself, and the more she spoke, the more convinced she became.
<i>If </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>just </i><i>get </i><i>in </i><i>touch </i>with <i>the </i><i>Stone family</i>, <i>I </i>could live Natalie’s <i>life </i>instead. Then <i>maybe </i><i>Jensen </i><i>would </i><i>finally </i><i>see </i><i>me </i><i>differently</i>.
The more she thought about it, the more it felt right.

She had to recover first–then she’d go to the Stones.
Confidence surged through her, but suddenly her head throbbed.
She clutched her temples, woozy, and before long drifted back into unconsciousness.
Outside the room, Norah watched her, then sent Jensen a message.

“Mr. Jensen, I gave her the medicine, but she’s very cautious. I can only slip in small amounts each time. I think she expects me to taste it first. Do you have an antidote?”
Jensen frowned slightly at the text.
“Yes. I’ll have the butler bring it to youter. As long as you keep this discreet, once it’s done, I’ll send you and your daughter abroad.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jensen.”
Norah’s gratitude poured out, though Jensen’s face showed little emotion.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Quincy found Jordan already stable. Seeing Quincy return in tears, Jordan understood immediately.
“Ah. Natalie has a kind heart, but she’s also strong–willed. When we found out she wasn’t really our daughter, we hadn’t said a word yet, and she insisted on leaving the Summers family. She even promised she’d repay the cost of raising her once she had a job. That’s when I knew the girl had her own principles. Too bad–we shielded Sharon, that ungrateful brat, and broke Natalie’s heart.”
Quincy wept uncontrobly.
“Jordan, what do we do? Natalie grew up with us; she’s always been a filial child. But now—even if I copse in front of her, she ignores me. Worse, once she learned what I was nning, she had me thrown out. Do you think we can ever mend things with her?”
Jordan didn’t know how to answer.
“Take it slow. First, we need to find out whether the mix–up back then was an ident–or deliberate. That couple seems to be under the Stone family’s protection. For now, we should stick close to Natalie’s side and watch how things unfold.”
