Liam was in the living room on a call when he saw Celeste coming down the stairs. He hung up and looked up at her, “Did you find
Celeste hummed in response, seeming a bit distracted.
“What’s up?” Liam asked. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Celeste glanced at him. “The paternity test in your drawer, is it real?
Liam paused, “You saw that?”
Celeste glared at him, “You left the charger there on purpose so I’d find it, didn’t you?”
Who would put their charger in such a hidden place after using it?
Liam chuckled, “I just didn’t know how to bring it up with you.”
He didn’t agree with the Garcia family’s approach at all.
They didn’t give Letti any information and just directly asked her to take the test. No matter how strong her resilience was, hearing such news would still be a shock.
If it weren’t for the recent events that involved Sydney, he would have done this sooner, but he was worried that it would put more
pressure on her
He thought Celeste would struggle internally for a few days before asking him about it, but she came to him directly instead.
Celeste was a little overwhelmed too.
To ensure she would understand, Liam had included a lot of detailed information in the envelope, including stuff about Steven
and Steven’s mother, Macy Hann.
Along with the information was a paternity test for her and the Garcia family.
She and Steven only looked similar as children, but she and Macy Hann looked strikingly similar. Their eyes and eyebrows were almost identical. The only difference was that Macy Hann’s bone structure was clearer, giving her a somewhat more heroic look, while Celeste’s was softer and more delicate.
When she was young, she used to wonder why she didn’t look like Caitlyn or Shawn.
When friends came over, they would ask why she didn’t look like her parents.
When she asked Caitlyn, Caitlyn would simply say that she looked like both of them when she was young, but as she grew up, she changed.
She would then show her pictures from when she was one or two years old, and she did look a bit like Caitlyn. So she believed it.
But the features of a baby were vague. Once the bones were fully developed, the contours of the face became clear.
The seed of doubt never disappeared from her mind. When she found out that Shawn was not her biological father, she suddenly felt relieved. She thought she looked like her biological father.
But now Liam was telling her she looked like her birth mother, and the woman she had called mother for over twenty years was merely an adoptive mother.
Inner turmoil filled her and it took her a while to say, “Mr. Garcia knows too?”
Liam nodded.
No wonder Steven was always extra nice to her. She thought he had ulterior motives, but it turned out he was her biological
brother,
She moved her lips slightly and asked softly. “Was I abandoned?”
“No” Liam said softly. “You were switched at birth, and they didn’t know”
“Switched? With Clair Garcia?”
Liam sat her down, “As I’ve told you, Clair isn’t Mr. Garcia’s daughter She’s his current wife’s daughter You were switched with your adoptive mother’s biological daughter”
Celeste was taken aback, “So, she.”
“She didn’t make it Liam said softly, “The baby was strangled by the umbilical cord at birth. She was stillborn
Celeste curled her fingers, and after a long time, she asked, “Did my mother know about the switch?”
Liam knew she was referring to Caitlyn.
Caitlyn had passed away, so how much she knew about this was now unknown. However, Caitlyn had kept many of Celeste’s medical reports. She must have known that Celeste’s blood type was dramatically different from hers and her husband’s.
Liam paused, “I don’t know if she knew. Steven is still investigating. But her love for you was never fake.”
Celeste fell silent again.
