When Loretta arrives demanding the baby, Rachel, overwhelmed with emotion, reluctantly hands over her child, who immediately cries out in distress, breaking Rachel's heart.

Suddenly, a scream from Ruby's hospital room about her baby not breathing disrupts the tense atmosphere, causing Rachel to panic and fear being suspected of wrongdoing. She desperately flees the hospital, overhearing members of the Luke family lovingly gathering around her son, which brings her a bittersweet comfort knowing he will be cared for and safe.

Though newborns often look alike, the baby she saw now was unmistakably different from the lifeless infant she had seen moments ago. The previous child's skin was darkened and rough, a sign of having passed away, but this baby was soft, warm, and even had a faint pulse. "Stop talking nonsense!" the young nurse snapped, shoving Rachel aside as she hurriedly pushed the cart away.

Rachel wanted to follow her, desperate to understand what was happening, but a sudden thought pulled her gaze toward the Stone family's hospital room. The bustling crowd around her gave her the chance to slip away unnoticed. Quietly, she retreated to her own room and cradled her living son close to her chest. When Loretta returned, Rachel's mind was still clouded with confusion and worry about the other child. "I have the money. Give me the baby," Loretta demanded coldly, her impatience clear. Not wanting to prolong the painful moment, Rachel reluctantly kissed her son one last time.

She braced herself, swallowing the lump in her throat, and handed the child over to Loretta. As soon as the baby left Rachel's arms, he began to wail loudly, reaching out with tiny hands as if sensing his mother's absence. The sound tore at Rachel's heart, and tears sprang to her eyes. "Son..." she whispered, her voice breaking. "That's enough. Hurry and leave," Loretta ordered, covering the baby's mouth and turning away swiftly.

Rachel's instincts urged her to follow, to see where they were taking her child, but just then a piercing scream shattered the tense silence from Ruby's hospital room. "My baby! Someone help! My baby isn't breathing!" Ruby's frantic cries echoed down the hall as people rushed inside. Suddenly, everything clicked in Rachel's mind. She glanced toward the direction the young nurse had fled and felt her knees give way. She collapsed onto the cold floor, panic flooding her senses. "Oh God, what if they suspect me?" she thought, her heart pounding wildly.

Rachel had been wandering these hospital corridors for days now. Some of the security guards had already recognized her face. She scrambled to her feet as fast as she could and bolted out of the building, stumbling but refusing to stop. Passing the second floor, she overheard whispers: "It's a boy," someone said. "Strong and healthy." The Luke family members gathered around the child, their faces glowing with affection. Rachel's eyes blurred with tears. Despite the pain, she found a small comfort in knowing her son would be cared for, loved, and safe within the Luke family.

She stole one last glance at the baby before turning and disappearing swiftly from the hospital. The video cut off abruptly. The next person to appear on the screen was Xenon. Xenon's voice came through, steady but filled with urgency. "I managed to retrieve this segment of the footage. When I tried to show it to my brother later, the video had been deleted, and the entire surveillance system was destroyed. My wife secretly edited and saved this clip while no one was paying attention.

Whether it can be viewed again in the future or not, I want the Stone family to see this." He paused, his eyes reddened with sleepless nights and worry. "It's clear the young nurse is suspicious. The deceased infant she carried initially was the daughter my sister-in-law believed she had accidentally suffocated while feeding her. But the real child was swapped out by that nurse. Because of the camera angle, we couldn't see where she took the baby. But I know my niece must still be alive." Xenon's voice cracked slightly.

"I don't know who the Stone family has angered, nor if this is connected to that masked man. But as long as I live, I will find my niece. For the safety of my wife and children, I can't speak about this openly until I have solid evidence." The video abruptly ended with static before jumping forward one month. The scene resumed with Xenon holding his daughter tenderly, while his wife played nearby. The small family looked peaceful and happy in the soft glow of the room. Suddenly, a servant entered. "Someone is here to see you," the servant announced. Xenon paused, a shadow crossing his face.

His wife immediately grabbed his wrist, concern etched deep in her eyes. "Can you stay?" she whispered. "You know if I don't go, neither you nor the child will be safe," Xenon replied quietly, his gaze darkening. The woman assigned to them earlier approached-a maid placed in the Stone household to care for Xenon's wife's daughter. "The girl needs to be fed. Hurry and give me the child. Also, sir, since someone is waiting for you outside, you should leave quickly." Xenon's eyes hardened.

"Jane, if you harm my wife or child, I swear, even if it costs me my life, I will kill you." Once a gentle scholar, Xenon now bore a fierce, almost violent intensity in his gaze-a change no one could have predicted in just one month. Jane met his cold stare, her heart suddenly tightening with fear. Her eyes flickered nervously before she quickly bowed her head and moved to help Xenon's wife with the child.

Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, capturing Rachel's heart-wrenching sacrifice as she entrusts her son to the Luke family, clinging to the faint hope that he will find safety and love despite the turmoil surrounding them. Her anguish is palpable, a mother's instinct battling against the harsh reality that forces her to let go.
