A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"You... Why on earth did you do it then?"

Bess asked, even though she found it difficult to express her feelings with words. She really did not understand why Debby would give away one of her own daughters. If Debby preferred boys to girls, why bother exchanging them as both were girls?

Perhaps if Debby exchanged the girls because she had given birth to a sick baby, then it have been reasonable, but Tina was born with good health. Why would Debby bother giving her way? It didn't make any sense!

One could say, kindness and wealth limited Bess's imagination.

"It was because... It was because my husband and mother-in-law preferred boys. After they found out that I gave birth to a baby girl, they threatened to kill the baby so that we would try again... I was desperate. I was forced to..." Debby explained.

It turned out that Debby had made a good choice. Under the Tao family's care, Tina had a good life as she was treated like a princess.

As for Emily, Debby cared for her too, albeit, out of guilt at the beginning. Although their love for Emily was questionable, Emily had a happy and healthy upbringing. Eventually, as time went by, even the guilt had faded away.

"Your baby is innocent, while isn't mine? You knew clearly that your husband and mother-in-law preferred boys, and yet, you still decided to exchange my girl with yours..." said Bess. Her world was going to collapse upon hearing what Debby had said.

"I'm sorry... But I was never mean to Emily. I brought her up with love and provided her with a good education. I treated her the same way you treated Tina. We made sure that all her needs were met..." Debby explained. In Debby's perspective, her mistake was not as serious as Bess had made it out to be. She was never mean to Emily. All she did was just exchange the girls.

"How could that be the same!" Bess yelled. Furious, she screamed at Debby with red-rimmed eyes, "You took away my biological daughter from me!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Tao, the result is here. Miss Bai... is your biological daughter," the doctor reported. The doctor's words were like nails piercing through Mr. and Mrs. Tao's hearts.

Sure enough, eventually!

Bess took the report from the doctor, seething in anger. If it were not for Tina's accident, she might have never known the truth! The girl who just transfused blood to Tina was actually their biological daughter!
