Chapter 509 The Dedication Of The Head Nurse
After all, Petra had already admitted her wrongdoing, so how could it be a mistake? Hansel and Astrid exchanged a glance, wondering if the other had done something. Tabitha and Petra were stunned and stared dazedly around.

What's going on? Is it a mistake? Or did Hansel and Astrid really... Isabella was bewildered. After all, her Gossip System only showed her the truth.
At that moment, Alexander explained, "The staff conducting the tests are all professionals, and there's nothing wrong with the equipment. All of them are under each other's supervision, and there are surveillance cameras in place as well. All the samples have been cross- checked, so there's no room for error. If you don't trust us, you're welcome to take the samples and have them checked by an organization you trust."
Alexander's words gave the Quirk family a reassuring conclusion.
"So, Tabitha is our child," Astrid declared, looking at Alexander, utterly astonished.
Alexander nodded. "I guarantee it with the Quirk family's name."
Astrid immediately rushed over and embraced Tabitha as she broke down into uncontrollable sobs. Hansel's eyes also reddened. He constantly lifted his hand to wipe away his tears.
"This can't be! No way..." Heidi still couldn't believe it. "You're all deceiving me! You're all in this together because you don't want me-

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" To everyone's surprise, Petra's voice rang out even louder than Heidi's. "I switched them myself! I did the deed with my own hands, so how could there be a mistake?"
Suddenly, something flashed across Isabella's mind. Just because it's a fact doesn't mean it's the truth. Petra did make the switch, but did something happen afterward?
Hansel and Astrid held Tabitha protectively, eyeing Petra cautiously.
Petra struggled vehemently. "No, this isn't right! Tabitha is my child, and Heidi is yours. How could I possibly mix them up?"
At that moment, a large vehicle arrived with people in it.
The occupants were the medical staff from years ago, many of whom had already retired. However, Alexander had spent the entire morning arranging for someone to bring them over.
Observing the hysterical Petra and distrustful Heidi, Alexander said, "Well, let's just ask them."
As the interrogation proceeded, the truth of the past quickly surfaced.
One of the staff was the head nurse in charge of the nursery. She remembered how the two children looked strikingly similar when they first arrived. However, having handled so many children over the years, she naturally developed the ability to spot their differences at a glance.
One day, while making her rounds, she identified the two children, Tabitha was sleeping in the first crib.

However, when she came to check the rooms the next day, she found Tabitha sleeping in the second crib, and Heidi in the first, each covered with the other's blanket. At that time, she assumed the young nurse under her supervision had carelessly mixed up the two children. Consequently, the head nurse promptly switched the two children back to their original cribs.
Back then, the new mothers weren't in the best of health, managing only fleeting glances at their children.
Therefore, Petra didn't dare to inspect further due to her guilty conscience upon seeing the blanket covering the child was tucked neatly. Consequently, she failed to notice that her own child had been switched back.
Children's features changed every day. Hence, their difference was truly impossible to tell after a few days. The outcome was Petra leaving with the girl she believed to be the biological daughter of the young lady of the Quirk family.
In reality, the child Hansel and Astrid had raised and protected was actually their own biological daughter.
The head nurse's recollections and the DNA test results revealed the whole truth.
Isabella had confirmed through the system that the head nurse's memories were indeed accurate. She didn't expect the subsequent events that led to a completely different situation. It gave her quite a scare.
The Quirks heaved a collective sigh of relief, feeling as though they had narrowly survived a disaster. They had come perilously close to experiencing the heart-wrenching pain of being separated from a member of their family. Hansel, Astrid, and Tabitha expressed their gratitude to the head nurse. For them, the nurse's dedication to her work was akin to a life-saving grace.
The head nurse waved her hands in fright, content that they didn't hold her and the hospital staff responsible. Having heard the whole sequence of events, she too was considerably shaken.
"Am I really your daughter?" Tabitha was still in a daze yet found herself enveloped in her parents' "Am I really your daughter?" Tabitha was stil embrace and their kisses on her cheeks. 1.8K
