NovelAppThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 454: The PastThis 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. After all, Barnes was a metropolis and lots of people came and went every year, so it
was possible that their daughter wasn’t in Barnes anymore. Now, they finally found her-their long lost daughter.
Johanna looked at Beal hesitantly. Beal didn’t say anything and gave her a reassuring look.
Holding Janet’s hands, Johanna bit her lower lip nervously. She took deep breaths, but she was so emotional that she couldn’t
squeeze a single word out.
Finally, Beal looked at Janet and sighed heavily.
“When you were born, there was an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude in Barnes. The whole city was in chaos. The
hospital collapsed, and all the expecting mothers and infants were trapped inside. Your mother, who was staying in a VIP ward at
no idea that you were replaced. 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.”
Tears rolling down her cheeks, Johanna lowered her head guiltily and covered her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand. In
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 memorize what you looked like.”
Beal hurried to comfort his wife.
“Don’t blame yourself. All babies look alike when they were just born. It’s difficult to tell them apart.”
Janet patted Johanna’s hand, too.
“You’ve found me now and that’s what matters. Truth be told, I never wanted to look for my biological parents before. I always
thought that they had deliberately abandoned me.”
Now that she knew that Johanna and Beal never meant to lose her, she didn’t feel unwanted anymore. Johanna threw her arms
around Janet and wept tears of joy. Janet had grown up to be such a gentle and considerate young lady.
“I’m so glad we found you, my child. My life would’ve been meaningless otherwise.”
is the girl now?”
“Her name is Lila. She lives in Barnes with us now. Your mother and I didn’t know that she wasn’t ours at first, so we raised her
as our own.” Beal sighed.
After all, the baby girl had looked a lot like baby Janet. Beal and Johanna had no idea that the girl they raised wasn’t theirs.
It wasn’t until Lila had a blood test that they realized that something was wrong. Beal’s blood type was A, and Johanna’s was o,
while Lila’s was B—there was no possible way she was their biological daughter. So they secretly conducted a paternity test and
found out that indeed, Lila wasn’t related to them by blood. They launched an in-depth investigation into the matter. That was
when they found out that their baby had been replaced amidst the chaotic aftermath of the earthquake.
“People can be really evil. Even the clothes and wristbands on the two babies were switched, so it obviously was not just a
simple mistake. I knew what my baby was wearing and that was why we took that girl with us.” Johanna sneered angrily. Just
thinking about the evildoers who had stolen her daughter made her want to tear them to pieces.
It was because of them that she wasn’t able to see her own child in more than twenty years. Lila, on the other hand, had been
treated as Johanna’s and Beal’s biological daughter for years. They loved her deeply and by the time they realized the mistake, it
was too late for them to leave her. Thus, they continued to treat Lila as their own while secretly looking for their real daughter.
A few years ago, they had managed to track down Lila’s biological parents, but the evil couple had abandoned Janet as a baby
and had no idea where she was. With her lips pursed, Janet asked warily, “Has Lila met her biological parents?”
“Lila is still with us. She has no idea that she’s not our biological daughter...” Johanna sighed heavily.
These problems were not easy to solve.
