Chapter 288
“Okay, okay.” Alexander and Judith were so excited that their eyes turned red, and it looked like they were about to start crying.
Susan felt a bit awkward and quickly said, “Please don’t cry yet.”
Judith wiped away her tears and said, “We won’t cry, we won’t cry. You’re such a kind child.”
She thought she hadn’t really done anything particularly kind, but seeing Alexander and Judith like this, she knew that she was probably their daughter after all.
Susan sighed, feeling a bit complicated.
As everyone sat down in the Landor residence, Judith looked at Susan with eager eyes.
Alexander and Eason’s gaze was not as intense, but still extremely burning.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under their intense
to them.
gaze, Susan poured a cup of coffee and tried to hand it
But Judith quickly took it and said, “You’re not feeling well. You shouldn’t be pouring coffee for us.”
Susan smiled and said, “I’m not that delicate.”
She tried to pour again, but Alexander rushed to stop her.
Susan was surprised by his dramatic behavior.
Eason also earnestly said, “Sister, please sit and rest. We don’t deserve to have coffee poured by you.
We’ll do it ourselves.”
Susan was speechless.
But Judith gave Eason an approving gaze.
Feeling helpless, Jusum
The room fell silent at her question.
Everyone from the Nicholas family seemed unsure of how to speak.
Susan looked at them and said, “Just tell me what’s on your mind.”
“Susan, I… I actually…” Judith tried to say something but couldn’t bring herself to finish the sentence.
She looked at Susan’s pale face and felt a pang of heartache.
If it weren’t for her mistaking the identity of her daughter, how could Carl have borrowed the Nicholas family’s power to force Susan to give blood?
She had been forced to donate blood by the Miller family since she was a child.
Susan, who had finally escaped that fate by marrying a reliable husband, was once again forced to
donate blood.
Her body had never fully recovered, and it was all because of them.
How could Judith face her daughter and ask her to come back to them?
After all, Susan had been living a good life.
The appearance of her biological parents actually brought calamity upon her instead.
Unable to speak, Judith could only wipe away her tears and lower her head.
Alexander hugged Judith’s trembling shoulders and took a deep breath before saying, “Susan, you probably already guessed it. You… you’re not Carl’s biological child. You’re my child.”
Ben had told her.
Susan had already anticipated this and remained silent.

She lowered her head in silence.
“Susan,” Alexander said, “In the last few days, I went to the hospital where your mother gave birth, and after an in–depth investigation, I have probably figured out what happened back then.”
Susan trembled slightly. She was indeed quite curious about what happened back then.
Judith and Eason couldn’t help but look at Alexander.
Judith was completely unaware, and while Eason knew that Alexander had been investigating, he didn’t
know the details.
Alexander pressed down the pain in his heart and continued, “Carl and Jane said that they found the child by the roadside, but that was a lie.
“Back then, Jane and Judith gave birth in the same hospital.”
Judith trembled and looked suddenly at Alexander.
Alexander tightly held her hand and said, “Susan and Yana were born on the same day. However, when- Yana was born, she was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Jane caused a scene at the hospital because of this. People with this condition cannot get injured or bleed, and if they do, they need immediate blood transfusions. It’s manageable for most people, but Yana has a very rare blood type. The Miller family was not wealthy at the time and couldn’t afford to find a suitable blood source for her.”
Susan pressed her lips, already having guessed the whole story.
She thought, “How ridiculous. I have lived my first half of life so ridiculously.”
“And then?” Judith asked, trembling.
Alexander hugged her tightly before continuing, “At that time, Judith was in the emergency room, which was not far from Jane’s delivery room. She must have heard the nurses say that Judith had the
same special blood type as her. She couldn’t help but wonder if Judith had passed on the blood type to her daughter as well. So, she had Carl steal Judith’s child.”
Tears streamed down Judith’s face.

She felt a deep sense of hatred welling up inside her.
She had treated Yana as her own daughter and treated Jane as a benefactor.
These past few days, she had felt a strange sense of distance from Yana.
But she had believed she had taken good care of them.
The result was that these two were nothing but big liars.
They had made her biological child suffer for so many years.
Now, they wanted to take her identity.
Judith thought they were so shameless.
“Susan.” Alexander looked at Susan anxiously. “You… you’re the child that was stolen, the daughter we’ve been searching for over twenty years.”
Susan listened and then fell silent.
“Susan… what do you think?” Alexander was getting anxious.
Susan looked up and said calmly, “I understand.”
Then, there was no more to be said.
The members of the Nicholas family were stunned.
Judith grabbed Susan’s hand, tears in her eyes. “Susan, it was foolish of Mom to be deceived by such despicable people and let you suffer for so many years. Please, Mom is begging you, come back with us. If you come back with us, Mom will do everything to make it up to you, and never let you suffer again.”
Alexander also said, “Susan, come back with us, and you’ll be the most respected princess in Tonico! All the people of Tonico will love and respect you just like they do us.”
Ben frowned slightly, feeling a bit nervous.

He thought, “Alexander hasn’t mentioned that he wants to take Susan back to Tonico.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have cooperated with his ploy.”
Susan glanced at Ben, then suddenly smiled.
She held Ben’s hand.
Ben looked at her and suddenly felt at ease.
Susan turned to Alexander and said calmly, “I’m sorry, but I can’t go back to Tonico with you. I have my own life here. A princess‘ status is not enough for me to give up everything I cherish.”
Then she looked at Judith, “As for your offer of compensation, I don’t need it. All the suffering I’ve endured for over twenty years has already been compensated by someone else.”
As she spoke, her gaze softened.
