    Nursery.


    Veronica pressed herself against the ss wall of the nursery. Her eyes filled with excitement as she


    watched the two tiny bundles of joy sleeping peacefully in


    their incubators.


    “Grandma, look at them! They’re so tiny and adorable! The girl looks like my brother, and the boy is the


    spitting image of Ellinor!”


    Marissa’s gaze was filled with affection and a touch of sadness as she looked at her great–


    grandchildren. But her brow was furrowed, hinting at the worry andplexity beneath.


    Unlike the simple–minded Veronica, the elderly woman had more on her mind.


    After a moment, Marissa turned to Ida, who had apanied them. Her voice was grave as she


    asked, “Youngdy, I understand you’re a long–time friend of Ellinor. I’m aware of the situation, but I’d


    like to confirm it with you. Are you certain it was Theo who took one of the children from the delivery


    room when Ellinor gave birth?”


    Ida nodded solemnly. “Yes, we all saw it with our own eyes.”


    Marissa’s brow furrowed. “But our people have checked. Theo did book a return flight on the day of


    Ellinor’s delivery, but he didn’t board the ne. There’s no record of him entering the country.


    How can a man who has not boarded a ne or entered the country appear in Ellinor’s delivery room?”


    Ida, while adjusting her gold–rimmed sses, took Marissa’s question as a defense for her grandson.


    Her tone was cold as she replied, “Marissa, we have no reason to lie to you. Mr. nchet’s niece,


    Belinda, was also present. She saw Mr. nchet. If you don’t believe Belinda, you can examine the


    hospital’s surveince footage. See if it was your immactely dressed grandson who entered the


    delivery room and took the first–born child!”


    Marissa sighed. “Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not doubting you. But the information we have doesn’t


    show any sign of Theo boarding or entering the country, which is very strange. I just wanted to know if


    you might have mistaken someone else for him. If it really was Theo, that would be extremely odd.”


    Ida realized that Marissa wasn’t being unreasonable and softened her gaze slightly. “What about in M


    State? Have you been able to contact Mr. nchet or anyone close to him in the past few days?”


    Marissa shook her head helplessly.


    Veronica turned around, her face now reflecting her worry. “We can’t reach my brother or Collin right


    now. We’re all worried about what might have happened.

    And there’s something else that’s strange. The ne that my brother booked was dyed by three


    hours for unknown reasons and then crashed into the sea due to an unidentified failure.


    Thankfully, neither my brother nor Collin were on it.”


    Upon hearing Veronica’s ount, Ida’s eyes slightly narrowed.


    She and Chase had also found that Theo had booked a return flight but hadn’t boarded. They, too, had


    found it strange.


    But after learning that Theo hadn’t boarded, they hadn’t paid attention to what happened to the ne.


    So, it had crashed?


    “Could it be…? Someone must have created the illusion of Mr. nchet being in a ne crash but


    didn’t manage to manipte Theo’s boarding information in time, and you found out.”
