Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qiao Nuan felt a rumbling sound in her head. At that moment, she could not hear or feel anything…

There was only one thought in her mind. Five years ago, she gave birth to twins… Twins…

“Miss Qiao? Miss Qiao…” The head nurse saw Qiao Nuan’s distracted look and could not help but call out worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“Mommy…” Qiao Ning was also worried. He held onto Qiao Nuan’s hand and shook it vigorously. “Mommy, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me…”

Her thoughts that had drifted away were called back by the child. Qiao Nuan lowered her head and forced a stiff smile at Qiao Ning.

“Mommy is fine. Don’t worry, Baby.”

She perked up and looked at the head nurse. “Can you tell me more about the night of my delivery? My other child has never lived with me. I want to hear more about him…”

Hearing Qiao Nuan’s words, the head nurse thought that something had happened to her other child. She looked at Qiao Nuan with pity and was happy to fulfill a mother’s wish.

The head nurse recalled that stormy night five years ago…

“On the night you gave birth, the rain was really heavy. The hospital was in a mess. I still remember that the anesthetic passed right after you gave birth to your first child. After that, you gave birth to a second child. When you were finally stitched up, you fainted from the pain…”

Qiao Nuan seemed to recall the heart-wrenching pain that night. She thought that it was the most painful experience of her life, but that pain was nothing compared to knowing that she had lost another child.

She hurriedly asked, “What happened after that? What happened after that?”

“I’m sorry. After that night, I was transferred to the emergency medical team and participated in the disaster relief work. I don’t know what happened after that either…”

“Then, could the doctors and nurses who worked with you that night know about it?”

The head nurse recalled carefully and shook her head. “The doctors and nurses who were in the same class as me that night were transferred to the medical team. By the time we returned from the disaster relief work, you had already been discharged from the hospital.”

Qiao Nuan gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly. After seeing a glimpse of the truth, she was unwilling to continue being ignorant. However, five years had passed. How was she going to find the truth?

“Oh right!” The head nurse suddenly remembered something. “Do you still remember the attending doctor who delivered your baby five years ago? I remember that she joined the medical team a few days later. She might know something.”

Qiao Nuan held the head nurse’s hand anxiously. “Where is the attending doctor now?”

“I remember that she was transferred away. She went to the newly opened private hospital five years ago to be the deputy director. It could be considered a meteoric rise,” the head nurse said with some emotion.

“Thank you for telling me this. I will come and visit you again when I have the chance.”

Qiao Nuan did not have time to be rude. She hurriedly said goodbye to the head nurse and left the maternity and child care hospital with the child in her arms.

“Mom, do I really have a twin brother?” Qiao Ning could not help but ask as he sat in the taxi. “I think Gu An must be my brother. He looks exactly like me!”

“Yeah, Gu An looks exactly like you. Why didn’t I suspect that before?”

Qiao Nuan took a deep breath and hugged Qiao Ning tightly in her arms, as if only holding her child could give her a sense of security.

For five years, Qiao Nuan had always thought that she would only have Qiao Ning as her only child. She never expected that she would have twins, and because of her carelessness, she lost another child for five years…

Guilt and anger spread throughout her entire being. Qiao Nuan wanted to cry, but she knew that now was far from the time to cry.

She needed to find out what had happened five years ago and who had stolen her child. Then, she needed to find a way to get her child back and make up for the five years when the child did not have a mother.

…

While Qiao Nuan was searching for the truth about five years ago, Gu Cheng was not idle either.

Five years ago, the woman who sent Gu An back to Gu Cheng wanted to marry into the Gu family with her child. At that time, the pressure from the family and public opinion forced Gu Cheng to marry that vain woman.

However, Gu Cheng was never a person who would be manipulated by others. Even if his image would be ruined, Gu Cheng insisted on not marrying that woman. Instead, after negotiating with her, he obtained custody of Gu An, then, he sent that woman to another city far away.

All these years, Gu Cheng had people keep an eye on that woman’s movements. With just a phone call, the bodyguards under him immediately brought that woman to Gu Cheng.

“It seems that you’ve had a good life these five years.” Gu Cheng casually flipped through the documents on the table, which contained all the information about this woman. “You have a gigolo boyfriend? I heard that you’re going to get married soon. Congratulations..”
