But somehow, I feel it is true,&#8221; I whisper and take another look at the note.<\/p>\n<p>Although I realize how ridiculous this is, I am convinced.<\/p>\n<p>I will buy this even if there is only one thousandth of a chance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you saw the baby&#8217;s corpse,&#8221; Frances sighs and says to me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, I fainted before the baby was out. When I woke up, I only saw a body of some infant. No one can prove that dead baby was mine. What if it was never my child to begin with, but a ruse of Whitney to screw me over?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think of all the possibilities to justify what is written on this note.<\/p>\n<p>If there is no hard evidence that the dead baby was mine, then he might be someone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps my child is still alive.<\/p>\n<p>Frances purses his lips and shakes his head. &#8220;Do you think Whitney would do something like that? She sent someone all the way to Prague just to substitute your child? From what I know about her, I find that far-fetched.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Frances knows Whitney well, I don&#8217;t want to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But what if my child is really alive? Frances, can you help me find him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I pull Frances&#8217; arm and plead in a low voice.<\/p>\n<p>My child means too much to me. Now that I know he may still be alive, I can&#8217;t sit idly by.<\/p>\n<p>Frances grabs me and stares into my eyes, saying seriously, &#8220;It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to help you, but the chance is too slim. It&#8217;s probably just a prank from someone who wants to agitate you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No matter how hard I beg, Frances wouldn&#8217;t help me find my child.<\/p>\n<p>As my husband, he naturally follows me.<\/p>\n<p>I called my parents before coming here. When they see me, they smile so brightly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, we thought you weren&#8217;t coming back. We missed you so much while you were away. How have you been recently?&#8221; Mom greets me with care and takes my hands, which warms my heart.<\/p>\n<p>After a short chat, she notices Frances standing behind me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is this your husband? He&#8217;s so handsome!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mom looks at Frances with admiration in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the good of that? He wouldn&#8217;t even help me find my child. I&#8217;m still mad at him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, I don&#8217;t know him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I glance coldly at Frances and walk inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-415","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
