Chapter 888
“Dad,” Steven hesitated for a moment, “If Celeste didn’t look like my mom, if I hadn’t done the DNA test out of curiosity, we might never have known she was still alive. The birthmark on Celeste’s back is identical to the one in my memory, which means I wasn’t wrong. Celeste was healthy then, but the medical staff told us she was stillborn. Even if there was a mix–up, can they also make a mistake about whether the baby survived or not?”
Hiram also cooled down from the joy of finding his lost daughter, “You mean someone deliberately switched Celeste?”
Steven pursed his lips, “The medical staff who delivered the baby that year, some have passed away, some have immigrated, some have changed careers after resigning. It’s as if everyone has disappeared, and everything has been handled so neatly. It’s difficult not to have doubts
in such circumstances.”
Hiram frowned, “Celeste is with the Campbell family, could it be the Campbells who did it?”
Steven shook his head, “Caitlyn discovered that Celeste was not her child a few years after raising her. The baby we buried back then was probably her daughter”
After Caitlyn found out Celeste was not her child, she also contacted the hospital, but nothing came of it afterwards.
Caitlyn was already dead, and it was impossible to verify what happened back then, but from these clues, it could be concluded that the person who switched the babies was not Caitlyn, and that she was also one of the victims.
“If it wasn’t the Campbells, then who could it be?” Hiram was at a loss for a moment.
Steven pursed his lips, did not know how to respond.
If someone intentionally switched babies, it was usually to exchange the lives of two children.
The child from a regular family, swapped into a wealthy family, even if it was discovered that the baby was switched, the wealthy parents had cared for the child for years, and it was natural for them to have developed an emotional bond. Even if things were restored to the original state, the child from the regular family would always have the advantage.
But Celeste was switched with a stillborn baby, which was strange because the other party didn’t want to exchange the children’s lives. They wanted everyone to think the child was dead; they wanted the Campbell family to lose this child.
If that was the case, what was the purpose, was it revenge? Only if the Garcia family knew about it, could it be called revenge. But the Garcia family had no idea what was going on, how could it be called revenge then?
If it was not revenge, then there must be some benefit to be gained. But who could benefit from Celeste’s existence?
Almost instantly, Steven thought of Clair
But this guess was obviously illogical, because Clair was only a few months older than Celeste, and Hiram didn’t get to know Janis until two years after Steven’s mother died, the timing didn’t line up.
Steven sighed. “I’ll continue to look into the medical staff, and you should also consider if you may have offended anyone back then.”
Hiram nodded, then suddenly felt a pang of sadness, “If your mother knew her daughter was still alive, that would be great.”
