Switched After Four Days

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’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! The comp

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

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.
