Chapter 693

 693:
The moment she heard Alexa’s words, Linsey came to an abrupt stop, though she couldn’t explain why. A wild, uncontrollable rhythm took hold of her heart.
Gasping for breath, Myla asked urgently, “What exactly are you implying?”
What Alexa said next sent Linsey’s thoughts spinning in every direction.
With dramatic flair, Alexa said, “The truth is that your real daughter is Linsey. She’s been maliciously framed by Carol multiple times, narrowly escaping death each time!”
The room erupted into chaos as her words hung in the air.
“Myla!” Cruz cried out, stunned.
“Mom!” Jeffery’s faint voice followed closely behind.
Alexa let out a loud, mocking laugh. “You have the nerve to call yourselves a high-class family, but you’re nothing more than blind fools! From the very first moment I saw Linsey, I knew she was the child I left at the orphanage all those years ago—your biological daughter!”
Looking between Myla and Jeffery, she continued, “Her face mirrors yours and your son’s so clearly. And yet, you couldn’t see it. You stood by while Carol mistreated her without lifting a finger… It’s honestly ridiculous!”
“Shut up!” Myla’s voice broke, raspy and filled with despair.
Cruz shouted, his voice shaking with rage, “How dare you replace our real daughter? What you’ve done is a crime! We’re going to the police, and you’ll rot in prison for the rest of your life!”
Alexa’s voice remained laced with arrogance as she said, “Go on then, call the police. It doesn’t matter to me. I’ve got cancer and only a handful of days left. But you—you’re in a far worse place than I am. Maybe take a moment to think about how you treated Linsey. I doubt your real daughter will ever find it in her heart to forgive you.”
“Leave now!” Jeffery cried out, his voice quivering with deep sadness.
Outside the room, Linsey stood frozen, shocked by the words that echoed through the hall.

Gorman, watching her with a concerned look, hesitated before saying gently, “Linsey…”
Without responding, Linsey turned and began walking away, murmuring, “We should head back.”
Following her lead with a grim expression, Gorman walked alongside Linsey back to the hospital room.
Inside the room, Linsey stood with her back to Gorman but spoke directly to him in a calm, steady voice. “Gorman, did you know all along that I was the Lawson’s daughter? You’re the one who led me here, aren’t you?”
Gorman stared at Linsey’s back for a long moment before turning to face her. Meeting her eyes, he replied slowly and deliberately, “Yes, I’ve known for quite some time.”
Linsey met his gaze, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions, hard to decipher.
“I’ve never intended to deceive you, Linsey. I planned to explain everything once you overheard their conversation,” said Gorman, his tone grave and sincere.
Puzzled, Linsey furrowed her brows. “How long have you known?”
Gorman responded sincerely, “While you were sleeping, my team discovered Carol’s whereabouts. Alexa was with her, confessing to Carol that she was Carol’s mother and that you were the Lawson’s real daughter.”
