Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 267



Despite having many heartfelt sentiments to express, Juliana still had some reservations.

Ultimately, it was Lucy who broke the awkward silence.

"Your Majesty, am I really your biological daughter? W-Why was I abandoned back then?" Lucy asked, prompting a mix of guilt and compassion to flood Juliana's face.

Lucy was stunned by the turn of events. She had intended to find something to talk about, but she somehow made things even more awkward. However, she genuinely wanted to hear Juliana's explanation. How could the mighty king and queen of a country ever feel compelled to abandon their child out of necessity? Lucy could not bring herself to believe it.

“No, my Velda. You're so precious to me. How could I ever abandon you?" Juliana hurriedly explained, shaking her head. She then recounted the events of many years ago.

"It was partly my and your father's fault. Perhaps we've made too many enemies with our aggressive political methods.

"On the day you were born, the continuous rainy weather suddenly cleared up, which must have been a good omen. You were Charleston's little sunshine.

“Little did we know, thieves managed to sneak into my private hospital and switch you with another child. Perhaps it was an act of revenge against us. "Newborn babies all look so alike, so we didn't notice it at all. It's all our fault for letting you suffer, my child..."

After several twists and turns, she ended up in the care of Melanie and Zachary. She assumed the identity of Lucy Quinn.

Seeing Juliana's distress, Lucy gently patted her on the shoulder. "Mom, please don't cry. I don't blame you. Fate was playing tricks on us. You didn't do it on purpose."

Lucy felt her chest tighten as she saw how concerned Juliana was.

Her biological parents did not abandon her. They loved her very much. She had a family, and she was not alone.

Lucy comforted Juliana softly, but Juliana was stunned by her words.

"W-What did you just call me?" She looked flattered.

Lucy laughed and boldly called out again, "Mom."

This time, Juliana heard her clearly. She was not dreaming. Her daughter just called her 'Mom.'

"Oh, my daughter, my lost treasure. My Velda, you're back!"

Hearing Juliana describe her like this, Lucy teared up too. In the Quinn family, she was as insignificant as a speck of dust. To her biological mother, however, she was atost treasure. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

With their hearts now at ease, the mother and daughter sat together and talked late into the night.

Meanwhile, in another room of the

palace, the scene was starkly different. Although the room was brightly lit, it felt as cold as an ice cellar. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Charlotte's face twisted in anger as she viciously smashed another set of expensive teacups.

"Damn it. Why isn't that woman dead? Why did she come to Charleston and run into Theodore?

"Alice, that useless piece of trash! What is she doing? She promised a foolproof plan, but it was all lies. Lies!"
