Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

John snapped, “Why do you think the child is Dalton’s?”

Chandler said, “That day, the nurse ran a blood test right in front of me. Neither Meryl nor I have B–type blood.”

Chandler frowned, a strange feeling creeping over him. “What’s so funny?” he asked.

John leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with cold mockery. “You keep saying you love Meryl, yet you couldn’t even give her the most basic trust.

“If you suspected she had something going on with Dalton, why did you stay with her in the first place? You doubted her, yet when she left with the child, shouldn’t you have felt relieved? Wasn’t that exactly what you wanted?”

Chandler’s brows knitted tightly. No matter what had happened, he had never once thought about leaving Meryl. Even if the child was Dalton’s, all he wanted was an explanation.

But now, from John’s words, he sensed something else. He wondered, “Is there more to this than I’ve assumed?”

“You know something, don’t you? Tell me.” Chandler grabbed John’s shoulder, his grip tightening as his eyes burned red with

John remained expressionless and thought, “So, Chandler really doesn’t know the truth that Lydia has secretly switched the baby at birth. That explains why he has been so distant toward the child. After all, what man can accept the idea of raising another man’s child, believing he has been betrayed?

“Well, since you want to know, I’ll tell you,” John said, locking, eyes with Chandler. “The child isn’t Dalton’s. The reason the blood test didn’t match wasn’t because Meryl cheated–it’s because Lydia switched your biological son at birth. But Meryl found out and secretly switched him back.”

Chandler’s eyes widened in shock. “What… What did you just say?”
