Eleanor tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Her pillow was soaked with tears.
The next morning, she dragged her shaky feet to the room her daughter had previously stayed in, only to find Alex slumped on the floor.
Alux saw her, stumbled to his feet, and handed the diary to Eleanor,
In his hand, he tightly clutched the dirty braided bracelet he had searched for all night, also found under the pillow.

He had spent the entire night investigating his biological sister’s
And discovered the secret his father had kept hidden.
His sister’s switch had been deliberate!
Jessica was the daughter of his father’s former lover.
He had doted on another woman’s child for sixteen years, while completely ignoring his own biological sister.

She rushed over, her hair disheveled, screaming hysterically.
“Richard! Are you even human?! Give me back my daughter!”
“You made me dote on that woman’s daughter for sixteen years! While treating my own precious baby so coldly.”
“Do you have a heart?! You had another woman outside, and you made me raise her daughter!”
“Give me back my daughter! Give her back to me!”
Eleanor collapsed onto the floor, crying her heart out.

“I’ll kill you!”

never saw her daughter’s face for the first time.
