This was the last thing that Johanna wanted to talk about. She had been depressed for years, knowing that her daughter had been replaced. She even considered taking her own life, but Beal had stopped her. The White family had a lot of connections in Barnes. They had asked anyone and everyone they could to look for their missing daughter, but there was no sign of her.

Gradually, Johanna came to believe that she would never reunite with her daughter. Beal, on the other hand, didn’t lose hope and suggested they search in other cities.

Later, when we did find out, we investigated the matter and found that a couple took advantage of the chaotic situation to replace you with their daughter and took you away.” 

between sobs, she said, “It’s all my fault. I wasn’t able to protect you. If I did, you wouldn’t have been replaced. You were born without birthmarks. I didn’t get to see you clearly because I was too weak and therefore didn’t
