Chapter 3 – A Lie That Could Not Survive
Police detectives arrived within minutes after several guests reported the disturbance.
One detective carefully examined the documents.
Hospital records were requested.
DNA testing was ordered immediately.
Vivian insisted it was all a misunderstanding.
But the evidence continued to grow.
A retired nurse from the maternity ward came forward after recognizing Grace.
She admitted that Vivian had paid her to falsify records years earlier, claiming the newborn had not survived.
Further investigation revealed that Ethan had been traveling overseas when Noah was born and had never seen the original hospital paperwork himself.
Three anxious days later, the DNA results arrived.
Probability of maternity:
99.9999%.
Grace was Noah's biological mother.
The courtroom remained silent as the findings were read aloud.
Vivian finally broke down.
"I loved him."
"I couldn't have children."
"I thought if enough time passed..."
"...he would become mine."
The judge looked at her with compassion—but also firmness.
"Love can never justify taking a child from his mother."
Vivian was held accountable for her role in the deception.
