Chaoter 289 The Real Family
The morning dew wetted the baby's clothes. In fear that it would catch a cold, Helena dressed it in
some of her daughter's clothes. The two babies were similar in size since they were all newborn kids.
"So you are also a girl," Helena found that it was also a girl when she took off her clothes.
When Helena was dressing the baby, she found a birthmark on her waist which looked like a butterfly.
She chuckled, "You have a special birthmark. You must be special."
At that moment, the baby girl opened her eyes and stared at her curiously. Helena slightly rubbed her
little hand. Then, unexpectedly, the baby gave her a broad smile.
Realizing that the baby was healthy from top to bottom, Helena began to curse the parents: How dared
they throw such a lovely baby away? Irresponsible!
Taking care of the baby, Helena was then caught by a dilemma about whether to keep her or send her This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
away. She was not sure whether she could bring the baby up since she was poor; yet, she did not
know where she could send the baby to either.
Pondering the matter for a while, Helena decided to take the baby to the police office. Maybe the police
could help the baby. After all, it was also possible that the parents, instead of abandoning her, just lost
her by accident.
After she had made up her mind, Helena prepared a bottle of milk for the baby. The baby girl had been
so starving that she tightly held the feeder and sucked the milk through the teat with all her strength.
Helena was greatly amused by this lovely baby. After she fed the baby, she cooked something for
herself and was going to take her to the police office after her meal.
After cooking, a piece of news attracted Helena's attention when she was eating her meal on a small
sofa.
"The daughter of the Hutchinson Group was kidnapped after she was just born. The kidnapper did not
return the baby after receiving the ransom and her whereabouts are unknown. According to the
parents, there is a birthmark, in the shape of a butterfly, on the baby's waist. The Hutchinson family
hope that they can be contacted if anyone finds the baby. Their phone number is…"
"In the shape of a butterfly," the information given by the reporter reminded Helena of the baby girl she
had just found. Wasn't there exactly such a birthmark on her waist? Was she the daughter of the
Hutchinson family?
Helena, of course, heard of the Hutchinson Group. It was one of the most wealthy and dominant
groups in that city. It was quite unexpected that this poor baby girl was a real princess.
After she calmed herself down from shock, she became happy that she had found the parents of the
baby. She decided to take her to the Hutchinson Group in person later. She used to work as a cleaner
in a company near the Hutchinson Group, so she knew the address.
She finished her meal rapidly and was going to leave her baby with her neighbor. However, when she
picked up her own baby, a terrible idea hit her.
She looked around to observe her house. Some parts of the white paint on the wall had fallen off and
she covered the bricks with newspapers; both the kitchen and bathroom were so small and the living
room was only big enough for a small sofa.
Yet, even such a small and humble house did not belong to her. When Helena thought about the rent
and the despising look of the house-owner, Helena began to doubt, "Can I really offer a happy life for
my girl?"
No, she could not. Her baby would only live a miserable life if brought up by her. However, what if her
baby girl lived with the Hutchinson Group? If she became the daughter of the Hutchinson family, she
could have everything she wanted and be a princess.
Such an evil idea had rooted in her mind and kept growing stronger. Yes, she did not want her daughter
to live a miserable life with her and she wanted to make her girl a princess.
After Helena made up her mind, she ironed the same butterfly pattern on her daughter's waist
according to the birthmark.
The pain was so intense that the baby cried her eyes out, which made Helena feel so sorry that her
heart began to ache as if there were hundreds of thousands of swords stabbing her. Her tears
uncontrollably ran down across her face.
"My sweeties, it is all for your good. I want you to have a better life. My baby, don't cry," crying, Helena
tried to console her baby girl.
After several days when the scald on her daughter's waist began to recover and looked like the
birthmark on the Hutchinson baby girl's waist, Helena decided to take her daughter to the Hutchinson
Group.
After coaxing the Hutchinson baby to sleep, Helena headed for the Hutchinson Group with her own
daughter. She told the receptionist that she was there with the baby, and soon, the parents showed up
excitedly.
They uncovered the baby's clothes and found a mark, in the shape of a butterfly, on her waist.
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Mrs. Hutchinson, Logan's mother, tightly held Helena's hands and
expressed her gratitude that her daughter finally came back to her for god's sake.
Uneasiness colored Helena's expression. She said, "Well, I picked her up by accident."
Logan's parents insisted on giving Helena a large sum of money in return. Yet, Helena was quite
ashamed of accepting it. At Helena's refusal, Logan's parents gave in and felt it tremendous luck that
their daughter could be saved by such a kind person.
When Helena went back home, she flung herself on the bed, bawling. She did not know when she
could see her daughter again. Helena pacified herself, "No, I don't regret my decision. I have made the
most correct choice. I gave my girl a happy life."
It was the end of the story. Helena, tears running down her face, implored, "Clara, it was all my fault. I
was selfish. I destroyed your wealthy life and made you live in poverty. Can you forgive me?"
Helena's story left Clara in a daze. That is to say, her guess was right—Logan was her brother and her
real family name was Hutchinson while Laura was the daughter of Helena Selman and Glenn
Middleton.
No wonder the paternity test said that Glenn Middleton was not her biological father; no wonder her
marrow could not be transplanted to Helena; no wonder Helena never talked about the whereabouts of
her real daughter. Now all her questions were answered.
Clara was overwhelmed by a stirring of emotions. She did not know whether she should be happy or
sad. It turned out that she had been living a fake life that did not belong to her; it turned out that her life
had been so star-crossed since she was born.
