Were you mine? のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Mercy crept through the shadows of the Rodger mansion, her heart pounding in her chest. It seemed like the old floorboards creaked under her feet as she tried to make her way to the library, where she could hear muffled voices. She knew that's the place they were at. She pressed herself against the door, her breath catching as she listened. Inside, Phill and Percy already had their father cornered.It seemed like they had been grilling him for some time already. His expression was flabbergasted and he looked flushed. "Father, you need to come clean. We know about the switch," Phill's voice was firm, demanding.Mr.Cole's face twisted in anger. "I don't know what you're talking about," he snapped, his eyes darting between his sons. Percy stepped forward, waving the papers in Mr. Cole's face. "Don't play dumb, Father or shall I call you Mr.Cole?We have proof. You switched me at birth! Why?" Mercy's heart ached. The pain in Percy's voice was too well defined. She couldn't even imagi

Going a little back in time (to the moment when Jake and Rosa had their confrontation in the Hospital corridor ) - Jake grabbed Rosa by the arm and pulled her out into the hospital corridor, his face was a mix of anger and frustration. "Rosa, what is this nonsense?" Rosa wrenched her arm free, glaring at him. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Jake? I'm pregnant with your child!" Jake took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice steady. "Rosa, we slept together once, a few days ago. There's no way that kid is mine. You need to get an abortion." Rosa's eyes widened with shock and fury. "Are you serious? You want me to get rid of our baby? You're out of your mind!" Jake's expression hardened.He wasn't having her nonsense."Listen, if you want to keep the baby, fine. But don't expect me to just take your word for it. Get a DNA test before you start pinning this on me." Rosa's face twisted into a sneer. She was clearly not expecting that reaction from Jake. "Oh, I see. You'r

Back in Lea's ward, Jake was pacing the room impatiently. He was waiting for the nurse to come back with news about whether or not the exit at the back of the hospital was safe for him to leave. But Lea's nurse walked in, carrying a laptop instead. "Hey, got something you might want to see," the nurse said, placing the laptop on the table. "It's a live press conference with Mercy Rodgers."Jake raised an eyebrow. "Mercy? How do you know Mercy?" " She is the reason we were able to hold the press at the gate. She is a share holder in this hospital. We didn't expect her to drop all of a sudden. And now she is going live and she said she had some news and also mentioned your name. I thought you might want to check. " The nurse clicked on the video stream, and Mercy's face filled the screen. She sat confidently in front of the crowd of reporters,“Thank you all for coming,” Mercy began, her voice steady. “I have a statement to make regarding recent revelations about our family.”Lea squeeze

" Enough of your nonsense! ” Elizabeth stood up, slamming her own fists on the table, growling in response." Take your dirty a** out of my house. I am not going to tolerate any more harassment. ” " Harassment? You are the one harassing me, Lizzy! How dare you cut off all my cards at once. You blocked and froze all my accounts. I couldn't even pay for my drinks! ” Mr.Cole staggered forward. On cue from Elizabeth, male butlers jumped forward and held back Mr.Cole, restraining his arms. It only aggravated his violence and he jumped up and down as they held him back. " What are you doing, Elizabeth? I am your husband! " He shrieked on top of his voice. Jake stared at the man, in his exquisite suit, a boot that might have cost a fortune. He kept staring and wondering what difference was there between this man, supposedly his biological father who gave him away at birth, and the father he had grown up with, also a drunk head but with worn out slippers and tattered clothes. No that Ja

Jake stayed beside their aunt's hospital bed, his hand enveloping her frail, trembling one.She was struggling to breathe again. Her breaths were shallow and rapid. The doctors had managed to stabilize her fifteen minutes ago, but then, her condition was deteriorating again."Shh, it's okay. Just breathe slowly," Jake murmured, his voice steady, trying to mask his own rising fear. "In and out, nice and easy.Remember how you taught us to swim? Blow your bubbles. You can do it! ”Her eyes darted around the room, wild with panic, but she focused on Jake, gripping his hand as if it were her lifeline. "Jake... Jake, I can't..." she gasped, struggling to catch her breath. "I'm right here. Just focus on me," he said softly, squeezing her hand reassuringly.Suddenly, her eyes cleared, and she tried to push herself up. Her eyes fluttered and she suddenly sat up with a jolt. She ripped off her oxygen mask, her breath was labored but her eyes were sharp with an unexplained urgency. "Jake," she ras
