Faux Vows, True Desires

"Mom, mom." Lucinda was taken aback, then immediately dashed after her.

Stefan also hurriedly picked up the doll and followed her.

In this unfamiliar environment, Janice seemed a bit lost. Her pace wasn't fast, and she was quickly caught up by Stefan and Lucinda.

"Mom." Lucinda caught up with Janice and hugged her from behind.

"My baby, my baby." Janice was being held, but she kept struggling.

"Mom, I found your baby. I'm your baby; I'm back with you, Mom!" Lucinda tried to soothe Janice.

Janice didn't hear Lucinda's words. She was struggling to get away from Lucinda, yelling continuously, "Elisa, give me back my daughter. Since you want Nathan, I'll give him to you; I'll give you everything; I'll divorce Nathan; just give me back my daughter. I want nothing else; I just want my child."

"Give me back my child. I want nothing else, just my child. I just want my baby back." Janice was screaming, echoing her sentiments from years ago.

If she had known Elisa would treat her this way, she would rather have divorced than lose her daughter.

What had she done wrong?

She and Nathan were legally married; they had a loving relationship; they had a pair of lovely children; and they were leading a happy life.

Elisa liked Nathan, but Nathan rejected her. Elisa harassed her, and in his anger, Nathan ruined the Avila family's business. Elisa retaliated in this way.

Elisa was also a wealthy and beautiful girl. Why did she have to interfere in other people's marriages? Why did she want to steal her husband? Was it because Nathan's status and position were too attractive? Stefan quickly stuffed the doll into Janice's arms.

"Mom, your baby is here; she hasn't been stolen. We helped you find her; she's fine now." Stefan gently soothed Janice.

The doll was like a half-year-old baby, filled with cotton. Its soft little body was dressed in Lucinda's childhood clothes. Janice hugged the doll tightly.

"My baby is saved."
