Chapter 3

I snorted in disbelief. “That’s truly bizarre. I didn’t believe you were dead back then, but the hospital showed me your death certificate and the medical university’s body donation receipt. I caused quite a scene at the hospital and even called the police.

“The police confirmed those documents were genuine.

“Lillian, they told me that you were sent to the medical university to become a cadaver for dissection teaching, yet here you are, completely intact. It’s such a miracle!

“There are only two ways to take this. Either the documents are forged, and even both the police and the hospital are in on it!

“The other possibility is that the documents are genuine, and this Lillian Reyes is an imposter!”

She froze. “You... What did you say? Called the police?”

I produced the evidence. “I had a major falling out with the hospital back then. I kept every single piece of evidence!”

I snapped my fingers, and the large screen instantly displayed those old documents.

Lillian was speechless. She was stunned that I had kept them for nearly twenty years.

Having lived this experience twice over, how could I let her lead me by the nose?

With irrefutable proof, everyone was dumbfounded.

“How could such a thing happen?”

“Was it a resurrection? That’s a medical miracle!”

“No, what medical miracle? This is outright fraud! If she’s real, then they actually forged death certificates! Who knows how many people were forced to die? This is an unscrupulous hospital!”

“If the documents are fake, that means she faked her own death. She had someone else raise the child while she lived it up, only to come back later to reap the rewards. How shameless!”

Lillian immediately began protesting. “That’s not what happened!”

“I-I was unconscious back then. I truly had no vital signs!”

I called her out again. “You died giving birth at a top-tier hospital? I only saw a midwife. I never saw a single doctor.

“The midwife had her hands full with me. She didn’t even try to verify your death. She even issued a death certificate. After all of that, you came back to life at the medical university?

“Setting aside doubts about your identity, even if you are Lillian, don’t you find this absurd?

“Didn’t the medical university say anything? Shouldn’t the hospital have contacted me? Didn’t they notify the police?

“Didn’t you ever think to ask about your son at the time?

“Stop spinning lies! Today, no matter whether you or the hospital is lying, I won’t give you my son!”

Lillian’s face flushed crimson and turned pale as I went on and on. She was dumbfounded and rushed forward.

“Is the money not enough for you? My son is exceptional! It’s because his father and I have good genes. You only need to feed him!

“Besides, proof aside, do you really not recognize me?

“If you don’t trust me, can’t you trust Linden?”

Linden chimed in from the side. “Shea, I know you’re reluctant to give him up, but for the child’s future, you can’t deny Neil’s right to acknowledge her!

“Lillian is the Reyes family’s heiress. The Reyes family from the provincial capital. Her father is Creston Reyes, and he’s worth billions! If Neil returns, he’ll be Creston’s grandson. The sky is the limit where his future is concerned!”

Lillian nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I know you’re angry, but after so many years apart, I’ve always missed him!

“Today, I finally gathered the courage to come. Rest assured, I won’t erase what you have done.”

I spread my hands helplessly. “Lillian, I’ve told you. Setting all that aside, he truly isn’t your son!”

“How could that be! You only have this one child. If he’s not my son, then whose could he be?!”

“He’s my son. He’s my own flesh and blood. He’s born to me, Shea Wilde!”
