Chapter 9 - Robert Sterling Kept Two Tests
The first report confirmed Margaret was Daniel’s biological mother.
There had been no switched baby.
Daniel exhaled.
Then Emma opened the second envelope.
Robert Sterling was not Daniel’s biological father.
Margaret sat down.
Daniel stared at her.
“You knew.”
She began crying.
Margaret had been pregnant before marrying Robert.
Robert knew and agreed to raise Daniel as his son—but demanded the
biological father’s identity remain secret.
Evelyn discovered enough during the hospital confusion to realize the
official story was false.
Robert paid her to remain silent.
Margaret continued after his death.
Daniel asked the question everyone feared.
“Who was my biological father?”
Margaret whispered:
“Jonathan Cole.”
Sophie’s grandfather.
Evelyn’s father.
Emma understood first.
If Jonathan was Daniel’s father, Evelyn had been Daniel’s half-sister.
