Jaime, you’re a lifesaver for running this errand today.” Louisa thanked him and then turned to Erik, “Please make sure he’s well taken care of.”

“Sure thing, Mr. Jaime, follow me please.” Erik said.

Jaime knew that the family had some serious talking to do. After exchanging pleasantries with Arabella, he left with Erik.

“Let’s sit down and talk.” Louisa held Arabella’s hand and gestured for Serena to sit. Serena felt as if a dagger was plunged into her heart watching this scene.

“Serena, let me introduce you again. This is Arabella Collins, our biological daughter who was left behind.” Louisa said

Serena was speechless. She had always thought this girl was a distant relative, here to borrow money. She couldn’t believe that she was her parents’ biological child. No wonder they were so nice to her!

“Here’s the story. Years ago, Kenneth and I were passing through a small town when I went into labor. The nearest hospital was our only option.” Louisa recalled the incident, “The hospital we found was out of private rooms. They temporarily put me in a ward with two other pregnant women. In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in the hospital. Due to heavy smoke, we couldn’t see where we were going. In the chaos, I picked up a baby, thinking it was Bella. But in reality, you were another woman’s child, not mine and Kenneth’s. I picked up the wrong baby.”

The words shattered Serena’s last defense. She couldn’t believe that she had no blood ties with the Collins family!!

And you, ended up with us, the Collins. If I hadn’t come across a post online about a family searching for their lost child, we would still be in the dark about the mix-up!” Louisa
