After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 780

Latonia spent a few more minutes chatting with Laura, but soon another important guest arrived. As Lucas’s wife, she naturally had to join her husband to welcome them. Lilian went along with her.

Once the Buck family had moved on, Laura leaned closer to Jesse and whispered, “Is something up with Lilian? She seems a little off. Is she not feeling well?”

Jesse glanced at Lilian. She didn’t look sick. She was just quiet, maybe struggling to find something to say. She didn’t really act like the confident girls you usually saw from rich families.

Lowering his voice, Jesse replied, “Lilian was actually switched at birth in the hospital. She only recently got her real identity back, traded places with the girl who grew up as the Buck family’s daughter. Her adoptive family wasn’t kind to her, so she’s a bit reserved.”

Laura’s eyes widened. “Seriously? Stuff like that actually happens? I thought that was just something we made up for drama in novels.”

Jesse nodded. “Back then, Lucas was away on a business trip. When Latonia went into labor, it was the family’s nanny who took her to the hospital. After Lilian was born, Latonia had a serious hemorrhage and everyone was so focused on her that nobody really paid attention to the baby.”

“That’s when someone made the switch. The couple who did it didn’t even know Latonia. They just knew she was the wife of a wealthy man and staying in a fancy room. Maybe out of jealousy, they swapped their newborn daughter with Latonia’s.”

“There weren’t security cameras in hospitals back then, and newborns all look pretty similar. Latonia was in danger, so no one really noticed which baby was which. It gave those people the perfect chance.”

Laura was completely hooked. “So how did they eventually find out?”

Jesse checked to make sure no one was listening before answering. In a hushed tone, he said, “The girl who grew up as the Buck family’s daughter got really sick, kidney failure. She needed a transplant. The Bucks loved her so much they all wanted to donate a kidney, but after all the testing, it turned out she wasn’t related to them at all.”

“Lucas spent a lot of time and money investigating what happened. Eventually, he found his real daughter.”
