Chapter 133 A Fragile Hope : 46 +10 Free Coins Waylon didn't know how to respond . Flynn , seeing his mother so certain , asked cautiously , " Mom , how can you be sure ? I've learned a little about Ms. Summers from Mr. Gunn . She was caught in a fire , burned over much of her body , even her face . Witch Doctor did reconstructive surgery , so her looks aren't exactly the same as before . You can't decide she's my sister just because of a resemblance .
After all , she's been gone for more than twenty years ." Ruby's lips trembled as she whispered , " What if the one who died wasn't my daughter ? " Her words stunned both father and son . " Ruby , what are you saying ? " they asked in unison . " I mean it , " Ruby insisted . " It's my instinct . I can feel she's my daughter . That infant back then wasn't ours . Waylon , look into the other mothers who gave birth at the same time as me . Find out what happened to them . I think our baby was switched ." Waylon's eyes darkened , but he nodded slowly . " Alright , I'll investigate .
But Ruby , you must cooperate with your treatment . If Ms. Summers truly is our daughter , then you'll have no reason to think of dying . You'll have to live - for her . " " As long as my daughter comes back , I won't want to die . I've owed her a mother's love for more than twenty years . How could I abandon her again ? " Ruby's lips curved faintly , remembering the way Natalie had smiled at her . She turned to Flynn . " When your sister comes home , don't fight with her for attention . I know I've failed you , but your sister ...
" Flynn interrupted softly , " Mom , if she really is my sister , she can have everything . I'll spoil her too . Don't worry ." Tears welled in Ruby's eyes again , but this time they were tears of joy . Waylon and Flynn exchanged worried glances . If Natalie truly turned out to be their child , then all would be well . But if not , they didn't know whether Ruby could survive another shattering blow . Later , when Waylon left the ward , Flynn murmured , " Dad , whether or not Ms. Summers is really our child , the only way Mom will live is if she becomes my sister ." Waylon frowned .
" What do you mean ? " " I mean ," Flynn said steadily , " if she truly is my sister , she'll be the treasure of this family . But 1/3 19:15 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 133 A Fragile Hope 46 +10 Free Coins even if she isn't , we can accept her as a goddaughter . Mr. Gunn said she's an orphan . Giving her a home would be no bad thing ." Waylon was silent for a long moment , then nodded . " Alright . We'll wait for the results first , but if it comes to that , we'll do it your way . " At last , a fragile peace settled between them . Meanwhile , Natalie hadn't let Baron's words change her .
Returning home , she went straight to see the children . Ruby's desperate love had touched her deeply , stirring her own guilt . She hadn't been with her children these past years and suddenly felt how much she owed them . Baron , however , seemed unbothered . He had Shauna bring the children to the dining room , where the four of them sat down for a proper meal . Natalie spent the entire time fussing over their food , making sure each bite was right , until Baron's brows furrowed . " They've got hands and feet .
You should eat your own meal ." Susie , noticing her father's displeasure , quickly peeled a shrimp and placed it in Natalie's bowl . " Mommy , eat more protein . It's good for your recovery . " Sean , not to be outdone , hurried to place a piece of fish before her . " Mommy , eat more fish- it's good for your brain ." The two children competed to serve her until the table looked like a battlefield . Baron's face darkened as he watched . " I think you two should go back to the island . " Susie froze , then clung to Natalie's arm . " Mommy , no !
On the island it's just me and Sean , and it's so boring . I want to stay with you ." " Me too ! " Sean cried . " I'm staying with Mommy too ! " Natalie , who had already learned about the island from Shauna , frowned at the suggestion . " Don't listen to your daddy . Mommy could never send you away . From now on , you'll stay with me . Alright ? " " Yes ! " both children shouted , bouncing with joy . Baron's regret deepened . Why had he brought these little brats into the world to begin with ? He hadn't even won his beauty's heart yet , and now they were stealing her away .
The children didn't care about his mood at all . They happily finished the meal with Natalie , then insisted on napping with her too . 2/3 19:15 Wed , Sep 24 ... 46 +10 Free Coins Chapter 133 A Fragile Hope Baron was about to object when Natalie said cheerfully , " Alright ! I'll take you both to nap me . Let's go ! " with Hand in hand , she led the children away , leaving Baron standing alone in the dining room , as though forgotten entirely . :
