Lucille said guiltily, "William, that baby you got a surrogate for was swapped by Darcy. Forgive me, I didn't know and always thought the baby was yours. But it wasn't until yesterday when I was packing up Darcy's belongings that I found a diary. She said that she had switched the baby. And that baby was born to Sarah in G City!"
"You mean Sammy is my child?" Liam froze in his tracks. His eyes were wide with disbelief. "How can that be?"
"I'm going to see the baby!" Sarah clutched Liam's hand. "Liam, our baby. I want to see the baby right away!"
William was, however, unusually shocked. He tried to calm himself, and there was still a tremor in his voice. "Lucille, what about my baby? Where has my child gone?"
"I don't know!" Lucille shook her head and lowered her eyelashes, hiding the glimmer in her eyes.
William couldn't believe the truth. "Liam, Sarah, don't act rashly. Wait a minute!"
William's heart was beating unusually fast at this point. He didn't know how to believe the sudden news. "What does the diary say? Why is that?"
Darcy's diary -
Today I did a great thing. I went to the morgue at G City's hospital with my ally and stole a dead baby and bribed the doctor who delivered Sarah's baby. She agreed to switch the baby for me.
Sarah would never have dreamed that her baby would still be alive and I would have given her a dead one. She would have been so distraught that she would have tried to kill herself, right?
If she did die, that would be great! I could have Liam all to myself and no one would ever know the secret of that night.
Looking at Sarah's baby, I really liked him inside. When would I have a baby too? This year, in the year that Sarah was missing, Liam hadn't had sex with me once. I was crestfallen, but he said he would take responsibility for that night!
That was the greatest comfort to my heart!
I also did a great thing. I carried Sarah's newborn baby and secretly replaced it with William's baby. By the time I was done with it all, no one actually noticed. It was amazing.
My sister didn't know about it and she was having a bad day. She had been drinking and there was no one to look after the baby. But William's baby was five days old. He looked a bit older than Liam's baby!
I was comparing the two children at the bassinet. I couldn't help but think that the newborn was smaller. But luckily, William was away on a business trip to America and would not be back for a week. By the time he came back, the baby would have changed so much that no one would recognize him.
As long as I didn’t tell anyone, and my ally didn’t tell anyone, no one would know about this!
