Everyone was taken aback, then furious at her words. Had she not been so blatantly biased and overly harsh, they wouldn't have found her actions odd and gotten curious. Yet, she had the audacity to accuse them of being hasty?
"What's the rush? It's just a DNA test. Or are you feeling guilty?" Heidi said harshly.
"Shut up, on what grounds do you claim this is the life you deserve? Who gave you the right to snatch away someone else's life?"
Tears filled Heidi's eyes in an instant. After all, she had sincerely regarded Petra as her mother for eighteen years and felt terribly aggrieved to be spoken to in such a manner.
"Whether it's my life, or you've stolen it from me, I understand now. You truly love your daughter, but unfortunately, I'm not her, so I don't deserve even a shred of your affection, right? Since you're so cruel toward me, why should I make things easy for you? I must reclaim our identities so that your daughter can only be the child of a despicable person like you!"
Anger surged within Petra, spurring her to lunge at Heidi and give her a good beating, but the bodyguard
held her back.
"Mr. and Mrs. Quirk, you can't! You can't treat Ms. Tabitha like that!" Petra, on the verge of tears, pleaded despite knowing it was futile.
Suddenly, Tabitha broke the silence. "I want to know the truth too. I need to find out if I have stolen someone else's life. If that's the case, I don't deserve to have it."
After a night of contemplation, Tabitha still felt that if Heidi's claim were true, she would be too ashamed/ to face Heidi. Her upbringing never permitted her to do something equivalent to taking something that belonged to someone else..
If... Mom and Dad really do as Alex suggested, I'll move out and try my best to keep my distance from them. Otherwise, I'll forever feel indebted to Heidi.
At that thought, Tabitha resolutely turned to Heidi and said, "Let's go."
Heidi cast a deep gaze at Tabitha, then turned and followed her.
Hansel's and Astrid's attention remained focused on Tabitha,
Naturally, Heidi noticed. She was jealous and couldn't help it. With a fierce glare, she spat at Tabitha, "The moment the truth comes out, you must repay everything you owe me!"
Tabitha pursed her lips, reining in her emotions, refusing to cry.
"Ms. Tabitha, please, don't go with her! Don't!" Petra pleaded tearfully, her eyes filled with heartache as she watched the two figures receding into the distance, paying no heed to her daughter in name.
Watching the medical staff advancing toward her, she struggled desperately. Her actions, however, only served to confirm the truth. Everyone who watched was filled with a sense of dread.
In the end, the medical staff forcibly took the needed tissue sample for identification.

After watching the medical staff leave, Astrid could no longer contain herself. Her usual gentle demeanor disappeared as she lunged forward, grabbing Petra by the collar like a madwoman. "Tell me! Did you or did you not switch the babies? Tell me! Tell me now!" Petra was momentarily stunned and at a loss. Suddenly, she pushed Astrid away. "Why did you bring Tabitha back? She's such a good child! Why did you have to seek the truth? Don't you love her after raising her for eighteen years? Why are you so cruel?" Her statement indirectly confirmed something.
"So.... Tabitha really isn't..." Astrid couldn't hold herself up any longer and fell backward, but Hansel quickly caught her, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Petra. "Where have we ever wronged you for you to be so cruel? Where's your conscience? When you came to us for help, you were actually plotting against us. You took advantage of our kindness and switched the children! How could you..."
Hansel truly wished he could kill the woman standing before him. Why are there such people in the world? We've done nothing to provoke anyone yet were met with such ill will.
Petra said through her tears, "I had no choice. All I wanted was for my daughter to live a good life. I had no other choice, it was all... it was all..."
She had a habitual tendency to shift the blame, as a result, Tony was scared witless. "It's not my fault! I only found out later. It was all this crazy woman's idea. She treasures her daughter too much, believing that her daughter deserves a good life, so she had set her eyes on you guys long ago. How could she possibly stay impartial when she's serving in a household like yours every day? She has gone mad."
