Chapter 1520


    eptance at Last


    This time, Titus and Julia were utterly speechless. It was as Toby had said—Sonia had a lot of


    characteristics that matched their daughter''s.


    First, it was her birth. Henry and his wife had given birth to a daughter around the same time as they


    had, but why did that daughter go under the radar all of a sudden? Henry had stolen their daughter, but


    why was it that more than two decadester, it was revealed that he had adopted a daughter three


    days after stealing theirs?


    After all, the adoption procedure was not easy, and it also took a long time. More importantly, they had


    never heard any news of Henry picking up a child, so why did he seamlessly adopt a daughter three


    days after stealing theirs? It was clear that that girl was their Rina.


    Moreover, they had also thought that Sonia''s side profile looked extremely alike to their mother''s. If


    their enemy''s daughter looked simr to their mother, it could only mean that the daughter''s identity


    was fishy. However, they were unwilling to think in that direction and assumed that since Henry


    despised them so much and even stole their daughter, he would never raise her.


    And yet, the truth was that Henry did not end the child''s life by throwing her into the river. He had


    actually raised her properly instead.


    "Titus…" Julia looked at Titus with red eyes. "Sonia is our daughter…"


    "That''s right." Titus closed his eyes, feeling pained. "Karma… This must be karma!"


    He clutched his chest in despair. If things hadn''t turned out soically because of karma, what other


    reason was there?


    Toby stood up. "The reason why I came today is to tell you the truth. In order to save you, Taylor went


    to Sonia and begged her to donate her kidney. Sonia was already weak in the first ce due to her


    pregnancy, and after Taylor provoked her yesterday, she nearly had a miscarriage and lost both her life


    and the baby''s."


    "What?"


    Upon hearing that Sonia nearly lost her and the child''s life, Julia panicked and hastily questioned,


    "Then… Is she okay?"


    Toby nced at Julia, who was worried sick, and his eyes shed as he said, "Sonia is fine. She was in


    the hospital to rehabilitate her health, so she was rescued in time, or she would''ve left this world earlier


    than your husband."


    "Good, that''s good." Once she heard that Sonia was safe, Julia sped her hands together in joy.


    Although Titus did not speak, it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was relieved of a huge


    burden.


    Upon seeing their reaction, Toby suddenly spoke up. "It seems like you really care about Sonia."


    Titus and Julia''s expressions froze at once, especially Julia, who seemed taken aback. Yes, she


    couldn''t believe that she was so worried about Sonia. Was it because she now knew that Sonia was


    her daughter? Indeed, the moment Toby told her that Sonia was her daughter, what she felt was joy,


    and after hearing that Sonia nearly lost her and her baby''s life, she was almost stunned out of her wits.


    She had never felt something like this when it came to Taylor. Even when Taylor had gotten hurt, she


    felt nothing but peace and only cared for her on the notion that she was her daughter. Back then, she


    even felt ashamed that she did not feel a trace of worry or concern after her own daughter got hurt, and


    she assumed that she was a horrible mother. However, now she knew that that was not the case, and


    she wasn''t incapable of getting worried or expressing concern. She was just unable to feel these


    emotions for someone who wasn''t her own daughter. After all, her heart was against anyone who


    wasn''t her daughter, so how could she muster an ounce of concern for them?


    It was only after finding out that Sonia was her actual daughter and nearly lost her life that she finally


    felt a normal sense of motherly worry toward her daughter. From this, it was clear that Sonia was truly


    her child.


    At that thought, Julia sped her palms tightly and took a deep breath before saying, "She''s my


    daughter, the daughter I finally had after I spent years begging every doctor and taking all kinds of


    medicine to fix my body. She''s my hope and my life, so how can I not worry about her?"

    Titus chimed in, "It was difficult for us to have a child, and when we finally had her, of course, we''d want


    to treat her like the apple of our eyes."


    After all, she was their only child.


    Truthfully, Toby was pleased with their reaction, but he wasn''t thoroughly satisfied yet.


    "Oh? So now that you know Sonia is your actual daughter, do you still love her?" He narrowed his eyes


    and questioned, "Don''t forget that she was raised by Henry and feels nothing but resentment toward


    the both of you. She doesn''t have any feelings toward the two of you. Do you still love her even though


    she''s like this?"


    Hearing that, the couple instantly froze. He was right. Their daughter was brought up by Henry, and she


    felt intense hatred toward them. Moreover, they had severely wronged her in the past, and the adopted


    daughter that they had raised had not only stolen her husband but also repeatedly harmed her, nearly


    taking her life.


    At that thought, their faces instantly paled.


    Julia in particr broke down and copsed to her knees, covering her face as she wailed, "How could


    this happen? Sob… Why did things turn out like this, Titus? I can''t believe we''ve done so much to harm


    our daughter… We…"


    Titus'' eyes turned bloodshot as he trembled profusely. "That''s right… We''d wronged Rina so many


    times…"


    Upon saying that, he thumped his chest viciously.


    Seeing their looks of guilt and self-reproach, Toby pursed his lips, having found the answer he''d been


    looking for. They were good parents, just as he''d initially guessed. Although they knew that Sonia was


    their daughter, it didn''t change how they felt toward their only daughter.


    Clearly, after finding out that Sonia was their daughter and knowing that she resented them, what they


    first felt was not fear and avoidance, nor did they instantly give up and disregard this daughter who


    hated them, but they felt remorse, guilt, and regret.


    Just from this fact alone, Toby knew that his visit was the right choice. Hence, his tone when he talked


    to them again was not as icy as before and had turned much calmer. In any case, they were still his


    parents-inw, and without them, Sonia would not exist.


    He looked at the emotional Titus and slowly began, "Twenty-seven years ago, when Henry stole Sonia


    away, he did consider drowning her in the river to take revenge on you."


    Titus turned to him with his reddened eyes.


    Toby continued, "However, at that time, Henry''s biological daughter had already died from an illness,


    and his wife had lost her mind as she was unable to ept the blow of losing her daughter. Hence, he


    looked at Sonia, whom he stole from you, and came up with a n. He passed Sonia to his wife to


    calm her emotions, but he still had to continue his revenge on you, so he used a toy to rece Sonia.


    He threw the toy into the river in front of the two of you. That was also the reason why despite


    seemingly having murdered a child in front of an officer, he hadn''t gone to jail."


    Titus gritted his teeth. "Yes, that''s why I hated him more because the officer in charge of this case back


    then was Henry''s closest friend."
