The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 181

“Yes!” Melanie beamed with delight. “Wonderful! In that case, these are your welcome gifts. You must accept them.”

Vivica, unable to refuse their overwhelming generosity, finally relented. However, she did return the priceless heirloom pendant.

“Please keep this for Chaim until he’s older,” she insisted.

“Alright, dear,” Melanie said, not pressing the matter further.

Back in her own room, Vivica stared at the tables laden with jewelry, handbags, and gift boxes. The entire day felt surreal. It had started with a courtroom confrontation where she won her freedom but saw Joseph injured, and then she’d returned to the hospital to find Chaim’s parentage had been exposed. Before she could even process that, she was being showered with extravagant gifts. Her life was a rollercoaster of bizarre twists and turns that even a soap opera writer wouldn't dare to script.

A notification from WhatsApp pulled her from her thoughts. It was Quintina, asking for an update on Joseph’s condition.

Vivica had received a call from her earlier, right after returning to the hospital, but Melanie’s arrival had cut their conversation short.

Chaim was asleep nearby, so Vivica typed out a reply, explaining Joseph’s injuries and telling her about the revelation of Chaim’s connection to the Baird family. When she mentioned that the Bairds had insisted on making her their daughter and had given her a mountain of gifts, Quintina was so shocked she immediately announced she was on her way.

Minutes later, Quintina pushed the door open quietly. Seeing Chaim asleep, she tiptoed inside.

Vivica gestured towards the sofa, and Quintina’s eyes went wide. “This is insane!” she whispered, her voice filled with awe. “The Bairds really are in another league. This is incredibly generous!”

Vivica, supporting her back, rose and walked over, letting out a sigh that was a mixture of happiness and bewilderment. “I can hardly believe it myself, but it’s real.”

Quintina looked her over. “How’s your back? You should be lying down.”
