Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 353

Chapter 353: A chance that he is alive...

Knowing her grandmother’s skill in medicine, Jessica found it hard to accept that Nora’s pregnancy, so closely monitored and free of complications, could have ended in a stillbirth.

"Prolonged labour?" she murmured aloud, then shook her head. "Definitely impossible."

As she wrestled with the thought, Nelly’s voice broke the silence beside her.

"I didn’t believe it either," the old woman said, drawing in a deep breath. "But then I was handed a lifeless baby boy... they said he was Nora’s child."

At that moment, holding the baby tightly wrapped in a brown carton, they had both felt pain, anger, and dismay.

Nora had borne that pregnancy with carefulness and hope. She had exhausted every preparation necessary to welcome the twins.

So many times, she had told Nora, the twins are a testament of the love that was denied.

To Nora, they meant everything.

That was why she had insisted on Nelly’s presence in the Brown household to protect what she valued most and help nurse herself and the children.

When Jessica came of age, Nelly returned to the countryside, believing her duty was fulfilled.

"And the baby?" Jessica asked in contemplation, her brow furrowed.

"He had been buried in the Brown family Cemetery," she answered.

Jessica shook her head with resignation and disbelief. The more she thought about that incident, the more she suspected something fishy.

"Grandma, don’t you think something about all this feels... wrong?"

Nelly glanced over at her, her fingers tightening on her walking stick as she exhaled deeply. This question had lived in the shadows of her heart for years, gnawing at her conscience.

If she had been just a moment earlier, if she had noticed one more sign, maybe the child could have been saved.
