Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 731 No Baby Anymore

Lydia noticed that Meryl hadn’t brought the baby out, so she deliberately asked, “Meryl, where’s your son? Why don’t you bring him out so we can all see him?”

Meryl was worried that with so many people in the Aniston Villa, the newborn might be exposed to germs.

Moreover, the baby was born prematurely and had just undergone surgery, so she had to be extra cautious.

“The baby’s asleep,” Meryl replied calmly. “There’s nothing much to see right now. There’ll be plenty of time later. No need to rush.”

Lydia’s attempt to provoke her fell flat, and her expression darkened.

She had hoped to needle Meryl with a few sarcastic remarks, but she didn’t take the bait.

Meryl said, “Lydia, you’re a mother too. You should understand how important it is to be careful with a child.”

Her words, spoken in a matronly tone, only deepened Lydia’s irritation.

However, in the Aniston Villa, Lydia knew better than to argue too openly.

She nodded and replied, “You’re right, Meryl. I’ll keep that in

mind.”

In the afternoon, Meryl gazed at the baby sleeping soundly in the crib, lost in thought, “How could I swap the two children without anyone noticing?”

Just as she was pondering this, she heard some commotion outside.

It seemed Lydia had gone to the hospital to have her fractured bone checked.

Meryl’s eyes lit up.

Lydia wouldn’t take the baby with her to the hospital.

This was her chance.

The Aniston Villa was very quiet in the afternoon.

There was only the nanny to take care of the child.

Exhausted from tending to the baby at night, the nanny had likely dozed off while the baby slept.

Meryl tiptoed to the nursery.

After making sure the nanny was asleep, she quietly took her son from the crib.

Then she went back to the room, swapped the babies‘ clothes, and placed the other child back in the crib.

As she left, Meryl cast a lingering glance at the baby in the

cradle.

There was a faint trace of reluctance in her eyes,

“Grow up safe and sound, Marlon Aniston.”

Marlon, who had spent his early days in the neonatal unit, was quiet and well–behaved, rarely crying and sleeping peacefully after feeding.

If he could make it to five years old, he would have a chance at survival.
