Rebirth of the Wife in Despair

Chapter 285 Apologize

Layla left the banquet early and returned to the Smith residence.

Richard handed her a file. “Someone just came by and said that Mr. Jasper forgot to give this to you. He insisted that you must open it yourself.”

Layla expressed her confusion. “This child has learned to keep me in suspense too. You all may leave now. Let me see what it is by myself.”

After the housekeepers left, only Martha, who had been with Layla for many years, stayed behind.

Layla sat on the couch and opened the file. She pulled out a marriage health check report from the file. The name on it was Eileen. When she saw the last column, her eyes widened instantly and her breathing. quickened. “This is…” Even her hand holding the report was trembling.

“Old Mrs. Smith, are you all right?” Martha noticed something was wrong with Layla. It was a sign of heart. disease. She quickly took out a bottle of medicine and fed it to her.

Layla finally caught her breath. Martha picked up the scattered medical reports from the floor. Upon seeing the information on them, she was shocked. “What? Ms. Eileen doesn’t have a uterus, and she can’t get pregnant? How is this possible? Does Mr. Jasper know about it?”

Layla ordered, “Call him! Call him right now! Why wasn’t I informed of such a big issue earlier?”

In order not to upset her further, Martha quickly put it away. She reached for the phone placed on the coffee table and made a few calls, but no one answered them.

Just then, a housekeeper hurried in from outside. “Old Mrs. Smith, there’s a child outside claiming to be looking for his father.”

“Whose child is it? Hurry and take them to the police station.”

The housekeeper exclaimed anxiously, “Oh dear, Old Mrs. Smith, you should go and see for yourself.”

Layla stepped outside and saw a little boy who appeared to be only four or five years old standing at the door. He was dressed in denim overalls, clutching a teddy bear in his arms. He looked up and said, “Grandma… my mommy said I could find my daddy here. Can you tell me where my daddy is?”

“W-What’s your name?” Layla spoke with difficulty,

Martha also exclaimed in astonishment, “They’re so alike. It’s as if they were carved from the same mold. How is this even possible!”
