Synopsis

Tragic Love

Male POV

Family Emotions

On my way back from a business trip, I scrolled past a video. A newborn was abandoned by the roadside, crying so hard. As a first time dad, I couldn’t help looking at the baby a little longer. I froze because that baby looked exactly like my son. I had booked the best confinement center in the city for my wife. I had checked them into a VIP suite. I had employed a nanny and a nursing team to look after my wife and my son full-time. I broke out in a cold sweat. My wife didn’t check her phone, so I immediately called the center's manager, Ms. Thompson. She laughed lightly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. Your wife and baby are perfectly fine. They just fell asleep.” The next second, she sent me a photo of my sleeping baby. I stared at the tiny, unfamiliar face. In that instant, the blood in my body turned to ice. I was only gone for four days. So how was my son a different person?

Chapter 1

After I got out of the train station, I quickly rushed toward the location of the abandoned baby that appeared in the video.

“Officer! That's my son!”

I squeezed in the crowd, but was stopped by the police. “This abandoned baby was found. We plan to send him to the orphanage. If this were your son, do you have any proof?”

I immediately took out my phone, opened my photo album, and showed the police the baby’s birth certificate and my baby photo when he was born.

After verifying the details, the officer looked at me with a hint of reproach. “Mr. Smith, you need to be more careful with your son. In such cold weather, a baby staying out for half an hour is extremely dangerous.”

I nodded my head and thanked the officer.

I held Lucas tightly and rushed to the confinement center.

I needed to find out what had happened!

When I pushed the door open to the VIP suite, the nanny, Amy Shuman, was arranging the baby supplies.

She had worked at my home for twenty-three years. She was close to me like my mother.

Before I went on a business trip, I had told her to take good care of my wife and my baby.

After hearing the door open, the nanny lifted her head up.

She frowned when she saw the baby in my arms. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

I asked hastily, “Why was Lucas left on the street? Thanks to me…”

She interrupted me and spoke harshly. “Eason. Lucas is fine at the confinement center. Why did you bring back a random baby? What’s going on?”

I was stunned. “A random baby? Amy, what are you saying? This is Lucas!”

Amy took a step forward, wanting to take the baby in my arms.

“I think you have gone mad. Hurry and throw out this random baby!” She was so strong that I almost lost my hold of Lucas.

I was utterly confused.

“Amy, you look closely. This is definitely Lucas.”

Amy moved back as if she saw something dirty.

At this moment, the bedroom door swung open.

My wife, Susan Blackwood, walked in. I immediately relaxed for a bit.

As the mother of her baby, she definitely could recognize her own son.

Unexpectedly, Susan screamed and pointed at the baby in my arms.

“Eason Smith, did you do something behind my back? Why did you bring back a random baby?”

I was completely stunned.

Susan warned me, “Eason, send this baby away! If not, I will divorce you!”

I couldn’t believe what I heard.

Lucas seemed to understand and started crying out loud. He held my shirt tightly with his tiny fist.

Susan and Amy were both closest to me. Why did they team up and deny my son?

I held Lucas in my arms and kicked the door open of Ms. Thompson’s office. I questioned her angrily, “Why was my son, Lucas, abandoned on the roadside? Who is the baby in the photo you sent me?”The manager smiled. “Mr. Smith, I think you are mistaken. I will show you the security footage.”In the footage on her laptop, it was clear that the imposter baby on the bed had never left the room since birth. “Have a look. Your son has been well taken care of. The baby in your arms…I have no clue where you found him. Only you know the truth.”In disbelief, I yanked the mouse over and fast-forwarded.The footage was real, nothing was edited. Suddenly, the office door was pushed open. Susan’s brother, John Blackwood, brought a few relatives and rushed in. He patted my shoulder and said, “Eason, are you out of your mind? Why didn't you let Suzy rest when she just gave birth? We’re both men, so I get you…but let’s discuss this after Suzy comes home.”“That’s right. Do you know how ha

I ran two red lights, and burst into the ER while holding Lucas in my arms. “Doctor! Please save my baby!”The nurses and doctors immediately came to help. The red light outside the operating room came on. I took a deep breath in, forcing myself to calm down. The most important thing right now was to save Lucas. After that, I would look for evidence to prove Susan and her family had been lying all along. The strongest evidence would be a paternity test! I took several strands of Lucas's hair off my shirt, then turned around to go to the hospital’s DNA testing center. When I reached the stairs, a familiar figure suddenly stepped in my way. “Eason, where do you think you’re going?” Amy stood there, looking at me scarily. Two bodyguards from the confinement center followed her behind.Amy spoke coldly, “Susan is bleeding heavily at the center after giving birth. She’s in danger so you must come with me!”I came to my senses. This must be one of their tricks! I stepped back.

“I’ll not go to save him. Just give it up!”Ms. Thompson immediately opened her phone and started livestream, pointing the camera at me. #The President Mr. Smith Forces His Postpartum Wife to Donate Blood for an Abandoned Baby# The headline immediately drew the attention of many audiences. Susan was weak and lay against the bed frame. She cried in front of the camera, wailing, “Eason, I almost died from hemorrhaging. I nearly lost my uterus. Why are you forcing me to save a child who’s not related to me?”While she was crying, she lifted up her pajamas, showing her C-section scar on her lower abdomen.The screen was suddenly filled with many negative comments. [Is this guy cold-hearted? His wife just gave birth and now she’s forced to donate blood!][Look at him freaking out! The baby is definitely his child with some other woman!][The Smith family is heartless. Does the life of a mother not matter?]There was an incoming call from the secretary. “Sir! It’s no good!

“Your real son was swapped out a long time ago.”Sam lifted the tablet and pressed play. Susan’s voice came through the speaker. “While Eason goes on a business trip, quietly kill the real Lucas and make sure no trace is left behind.“It’s freezing in winter. A kid dying on the roadside isn’t unusual…That way, Lucas won’t be around to inherit money from the Smith’s family…” Her sharp, vicious tone was nothing like the fragile woman she’d been when she was weeping against the bedframe. What followed after was the voice of the confinement center’s manager, Ms. Thompson. “Don’t worry. I edited the security footage so he won’t find out. I have asked the nanny, Amy, to bring in the fake Lucas through the back door before dawn.” Susan turned pale. She sprang up from the bed and pointed at the butler, Sam, screaming.“You fabricate the voice recording. Eason, you set me up. That’s not my voice!” John panicked too. He motioned for his relatives to rush in and grab the tablet.“Wh

When I rushed to the hospital, the doctor came out of the room. “Mr. Smith, your son is temporarily out of danger, but he still needs to stay in the ICU for two days as the infection is still not yet under control.”I felt relieved. I followed the nurse to the ICU. Looking through the glass window, I saw Lucas sleeping in the small incubator. He looked much better than before. I pulled out my phone and called my assistant. “Please help me to run a background check on someone. Her name is Lucy Shuman, Amy’s daughter. She lives in Riverside Estate, Building 3, Unit 2. Please find out whether she gave birth at Westside Hospital three months ago, and who the father is, as fast as you can.”After hanging up, I stood by the window for over two hours. After Lucas’s heart rate stabilized, I only found a chair to sit on. Not long after, my assistant called.He sounded urgent. “Mr. Smith, I’ve found her! Lucy Shuman gave birth to a boy three months ago at Westside Hospital. Since she wa

After we finished giving our statements to the police, my assistant told me he had already contacted the DNA testing center. First thing tomorrow morning, we could bring Lucy and the fake Lucas in for testing.I let the bodyguards fetch the baby from the confinement center. I also had people keep watch over Lucy so she wouldn’t be threatened by anyone.The next morning, I brought Lucy and the fake Lucas to the testing center.The moment we arrived, I saw John standing at the entrance with two relatives behind him. His face darkened. “Eason, don’t go too far! That baby is my sister’s child. What right do you have to bring him in for a test?”“Susan’s baby?” I said, letting out a cold laugh.“John, you know exactly whose baby this is. Stop blocking the entrance. If you don’t move, I’ll have my bodyguards escort you out.”He watched as I walked into the testing center with Lucy and the baby. He was so furious, he started yelling, “Eason Smith, you’ll regret this.”Three days late

On the second day, Lucas was out of the ICU. The police brought updates. They had officially opened an investigation into John, Amy, Ava, Ms. Thompson, and the others. When officers searched the confinement center, they found payment records in Ms. Thompson’s office. She had bribed the nurse to feed Lucas poisoned milk powder. They also found video-editing software that had been used to edit the surveillance footage, along with chat logs between her and Susan.Inside the chat logs, it showed clearly how they had planned to swap the babies, and kill Lucas. John was arrested for child abandonment and fraud. During interrogation, he tried to deny it. He claimed he did not know the fake Lucas was his child. But Lucy’s statement and the DNA report made him speechless. He had no choice but to confess in the end. He admitted he was blinded by money. He planned everything so his own son could become the heir of the Smith family. Amy was also arrested for child abandonment and fraud.

It finally felt like home after Lucas got back from the hospital. I went home on time every day. I could always hear my grandpa making Lucas laugh upon entering the house. Lucas sat on the play mat. When he saw me, he stretched out his arms, asking for hugs, calling, “Dada…Dada.” When I heard that, all my exhaustion vanished. I created a charity foundation under Lucas. Grandpa fully supported it. “Smith Corporation will have your back. Do it right! Make it big!”My charity foundation would be situated near the mountains and rivers. I had set up an orphanage to help many poor children. Six months later, Amy’s lawyer came knocking at the door. He handed me a letter of forgiveness. He said Amy was well-behaved in prison. If I signed the letter, her sentence could be reduced.I handed the letter back. She also had the lawyer give me a letter she had written. “Eason, please take pity on me, given that I’ve taken care of you for twenty years…”I threw the letter into the trash c
