Chapter 1420Chapter 1420 Acceptance at Last
This time, Titus and Julia were utterly speechless. It was as Toby had said—Sonia had a lot of
characteristics that matched their daughter's.
First, it was her birth. Henry and his wife had given birth to a daughter around the same time as they
had, but why did that daughter go under the radar all of a sudden? Henry had stolen their daughter, but
why was it that more than two decades later, it was revealed that he had adopted a daughter three
days after stealing theirs?
After all, the adoption procedure was not easy, and it also took a long time. More importantly, they had
never heard any news of Henry picking up a child, so why did he seamlessly adopt a daughter three
days after stealing theirs? It was clear that that girl was their Rina.
Moreover, they had also thought that Sonia's side profile looked extremely alike to their mother's. If
their enemy's daughter looked similar to their mother, it could only mean that the daughter's identity
was fishy. However, they were unwilling to think in that direction and assumed that since Henry
despised them so much and even stole their daughter, he would never raise her.
And yet, the truth was that Henry did not end the child's life by throwing her into the river. He had
actually raised her properly instead.
"Titus…" Julia looked at Titus with red eyes. "Sonia is our daughter…"
"That's right." Titus closed his eyes, feeling pained. "Karma… This must be karma!" He clutched his chest in despair. If things hadn't turned out so comically because of karma, what other
reason was there?
Toby stood up. "The reason why I came today is to tell you the truth. In order to save you, Taylor went
to Sonia and begged her to donate her kidney. Sonia was already weak in the first place due to her
pregnancy, and after Taylor provoked her yesterday, she nearly had a miscarriage and lost both her life
and the baby's."
"What?"
Upon hearing that Sonia nearly lost her and the child's life, Julia panicked and hastily questioned,
"Then… Is she okay?"
Toby glanced at Julia, who was worried sick, and his eyes flashed as he said, "Sonia is fine. She was in
the hospital to rehabilitate her health, so she was rescued in time, or she would've left this world earlier
than your husband."
"Good, that's good." Once she heard that Sonia was safe, Julia clasped her hands together in joy.
Although Titus did not speak, it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was relieved of a huge
burden.
Upon seeing their reaction, Toby suddenly spoke up. "It seems like you really care about Sonia."
Titus and Julia's expressions froze at once, especially Julia, who seemed taken aback. Yes, she
couldn't believe that she was so worried about Sonia. Was it because she now knew that Sonia washer daughter? Indeed, the moment Toby told her that Sonia was her daughter, what she felt was joy,
and after hearing that Sonia nearly lost her and her baby's life, she was almost stunned out of her wits.
She had never felt something like this when it came to Taylor. Even when Taylor had gotten hurt, she
felt nothing but peace and only cared for her on the notion that she was her daughter. Back then, she
even felt ashamed that she did not feel a trace of worry or concern after her own daughter got hurt, and
she assumed that she was a horrible mother. However, now she knew that that was not the case, and
she wasn't incapable of getting worried or expressing concern. She was just unable to feel these
emotions for someone who wasn't her own daughter. After all, her heart was against anyone who
wasn't her daughter, so how could she muster an ounce of concern for them?
It was only after finding out that Sonia was her actual daughter and nearly lost her life that she finally
felt a normal sense of motherly worry toward her daughter. From this, it was clear that Sonia was truly
her child.
At that thought, Julia clasped her palms tightly and took a deep breath before saying, "She's my
daughter, the daughter I finally had after I spent years begging every doctor and taking all kinds of
medicine to fix my body. She's my hope and my life, so how can I not worry about her?"
Titus chimed in, "It was difficult for us to have a child, and when we finally had her, of course, we'd want
to treat her like the apple of our eyes."
After all, she was their only child.
Truthfully, Toby was pleased with their reaction, but he wasn't thoroughly satisfied yet.
"Oh? So now that you know Sonia is your actual daughter, do you still love her?" He narrowed his eyesand questioned, "Don't forget that she was raised by Henry and feels nothing but resentment toward
the both of you. She doesn't have any feelings toward the two of you. Do you still love her even though
she's like this?"
Hearing that, the couple instantly froze. He was right. Their daughter was brought up by Henry, and she
felt intense hatred toward them. Moreover, they had severely wronged her in the past, and the adopted
daughter that they had raised had not only stolen her husband but also repeatedly harmed her, nearly
taking her life.
At that thought, their faces instantly paled.
Julia in particular broke down and collapsed to her knees, covering her face as she wailed, "How could
this happen? Sob… Why did things turn out like this, Titus? I can't believe we've done so much to harm
our daughter… We…"
Titus' eyes turned bloodshot as he trembled profusely. "That's right… We'd wronged Rina so many
times…"
Upon saying that, he thumped his chest viciously.
Seeing their looks of guilt and self-reproach, Toby pursed his lips, having found the answer he'd been
looking for. They were good parents, just as he'd initially guessed. Although they knew that Sonia was
their daughter, it didn't change how they felt toward their only daughter.
Clearly, after finding out that Sonia was their daughter and knowing that she resented them, what they
first felt was not fear and avoidance, nor did they instantly give up and disregard this daughter who
hated them, but they felt remorse, guilt, and regret. Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookJust from this fact alone, Toby knew that his visit was the right choice. Hence, his tone when he talked
to them again was not as icy as before and had turned much calmer. In any case, they were still his
parents-in-law, and without them, Sonia would not exist.
He looked at the emotional Titus and slowly began, "Twenty-seven years ago, when Henry stole Sonia
away, he did consider drowning her in the river to take revenge on you."
Titus turned to him with his reddened eyes.
Toby continued, "However, at that time, Henry's biological daughter had already died from an illness,
and his wife had lost her mind as she was unable to accept the blow of losing her daughter. Hence, he
looked at Sonia, whom he stole from you, and came up with a plan. He passed Sonia to his wife to
calm her emotions, but he still had to continue his revenge on you, so he used a toy to replace Sonia.
He threw the toy into the river in front of the two of you. That was also the reason why despite
seemingly having murdered a child in front of an officer, he hadn't gone to jail."
Titus gritted his teeth. "Yes, that's why I hated him more because the officer in charge of this case back
then was Henry's closest friend."
