Tao Tiancheng received the paternity test report, but the result was that Tao Yinyin was their biological daughter.
Seeing this paternity test report, Liu Mingzhu’s feelings were complex.
She began to doubt whether she was really ill.
She had even begun to doubt her own daughter, nearly believing her eldest son’s dream was true.
Throughout this period, she had been constantly reviewing the footage where Tao Ti appeared, over and over again, growing fonder of the child each time, seeing the shadow of herself and her husband in the child’s eyes. But now, this report had slapped her in the face.
It was all because she was ill.
Liu Mingzhu clenched the report tightly, taking several deep breaths to calm herself down.
“I…,” Liu Mingzhu said hoarsely, “I need to see a psychologist.”
“Don’t get excited, things might not be as they seem.”
Tao Tiancheng narrowed his eyes dangerously, his voice deep and somber, “There’s something wrong with this report, but the specifics have not yet been clarified.”
However, at this moment, Tao Bin came home and knocked on his parents’ bedroom door.
Tao Tiancheng was surprised, “Why have you come back? Has the temple been more lenient with you recently?”
Tao Bin took out a report, shrugging, “Isn’t it because of this matter? I’ve investigated in secret and found this, the real report.”
Standing at the doorway, Tao Shen held a maid in his grasp, speaking coldly, “She had a hand in everything!”
The maid had bribed the doctor to make a false report, and she was the very culprit who switched the two children years ago. She was also Tao Yinyin’s biological aunt.
Mother Tao and Father Tao sued Tao Yinyin’s aunt and parents.
The judge discovered an anomaly in an old case, and after an investigation, it was confirmed that these three individuals had switched many children with the same method, were deeply involved in child trafficking, and had even killed young children. In the end, they were sentenced to death.
With the matter concluded, the question of Tao Yinyin’s future arose.
With her relatives in prison, if Liu Mingzhu did not take her in, she would be sent to an orphanage.
Liu Mingzhu’s heart softened, and just as she was about to relent, she heard Tao Shen’s slow, ominous voice, “Mother, have you forgotten my dream? In my dream, they deceived us, keeping us in the dark all the time, until Tao Yinyin grew up. Even after she knew the truth, she didn’t tell us and tried everything to get rid of my real sister!”
Liu Mingzhu pressed her lips together, her voice hoarse, “That was just a dream. She doesn’t know anything. When she was switched, she was an innocent young child, and she still doesn’t understand what’s happening.”
“Mother, if my dream were just a simple dream, then how do you explain that everything has matched up?”
With a dry throat, Liu Mingzhu reluctantly said, “She is the one I raised, and you watched her grow up as well. Do you really want her to become an orphan and be sent to an orphanage?”
Tao Shen spoke mercilessly and coldly, “Not only am I willing, but I would also be glad to see her gone! The more miserable she is, the more relieved I feel!”
Liu Mingzhu was frightened by her son’s dark gaze, stumbling backward as Tao Tiancheng supported her. He had made a decision; they would not keep Tao Yinyin.
On the day Tao Yinyin was taken away, the rain was heavy, and she cried loudly, continuously calling for daddy, mommy, brother…
Liu Mingzhu locked herself in her room for several days, not going out or looking for her biological daughter.
Tao Yinyin became an orphan and was sent to an orphanage. Not long after, she was adopted by a couple from abroad.
When boarding the plane, she developed a high fever, but the couple did not delay. They still took the feverish, delirious child onto the plane, leaving the country behind.
