The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 382 There Is No Greater Virtue That o Recognize One's Mistakes and Change,

After William and Charlotte left the hospital room, Natalie pulled out a chair and sat down, her gaze calm as she looked at Sky.

Sky forced a bitter smile. It took him a long time before he finally spoke. "I'm sorry."

Natalie's expression remained steady, her tone flat and devoid of emotion. "The person you should be apologizing to isn't me. It's Sophia."

"I know." Sky exhaled heavily, his voice weary. "I had no idea Cindy was Emma's biological mother."

"Now that you do, how do you feel?"

Sky looked at Natalie, his eyes dazed. "I don't know. I just feel confused. My mind is a mess.

"If Cindy was Emma's biological mother, then there's only one possibility-you and Emma weren't switched by accident. It was deliberate. But I don't understand how Cindy managed to pull it off.

"When Mother gave birth in Amberton, Cindy wasn't pregnant. She was always by her side, taking care of her. So, I don't know. It's all just too chaotic. Now that Cindy is dead, this lead is completely cut off."

Natalie glanced around the room, then pulled a chocolate bar from her pocket. She unwrapped it and handed it to Sky.

"I'm still going to Amberton to investigate this. Me, Selena, and Emma... the three of us weren't switched for no reason. With Cindy dead, the investigation might be harder, but no matter what, if something was done, there would always be traces left behind.

"My dear brother, when you went to Amberton before, you weren't actually trying to uncover the truth, were you? You didn't want to find Emma's real parents. You couldn't bear to send her away. You couldn't bear to take her away from the wealth and protection of the Walker family."

Hearing Natalie call him "brother", Sky's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He hadn't expected that after everything he had done-after how blatantly he had favored Emma, after all the harm he had caused Sophia-Natalie would still call him that.

Even if she was questioning him, even if her words held no warmth, the fact that she still called him her brother made an unbearable sourness rise in his chest.
