Chapter 619: Chapter 622: Listening to Noah Ford talk about the truth of the past
“Mom, don’t get too emotional… It’s a good thing that my sister has been found. From now on, our family can reunite.” Oliver Davis saw Bella Scott crying with a broken heart and couldn’t help patting her back to comfort her.
Bella Scott covered her mouth, sobbing and nodding, “Yes, you’re right… it’s a good thing. Thankfully, it’s not too late for everything…”
Thankfully, nothing happened.
Thankfully, Uncle Mark failed.
Thankfully, her Lilith and grandson have survived safely.
Thankfully… Thankfully…

It took Bella Scott a while to calm down, and she was persuaded by Oliver Davis and Albert Landers to return to her ward.
As for Lily Gray, she had no idea from beginning to end.
Just now, her biological mother was secretly watching her from a room just across the wall.
…
After half a day, Noah Ford finally arrived.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he didn’t care about anyone else. His first reaction was the same as Bella Scott’s – hiding outside the window to see Lily Gray.
His reaction was even more emotional than Bella Scott’s.
If it weren’t for Sebastian Lucas VII holding him back, Noah Ford might have rushed in to acknowledge his kinship.
A little later, after Noah Ford calmed down and Ethan Wilson coaxed Lily Gray to sleep, they went downstairs to meet all the Ford family members.
Indeed, they need to have a frank conversation with each other.
In the VIP ward’s suite, Ethan Wilson, Noah Ford, Bella Scott, Oliver Davis, and Albert Landers were present.
Samuel Mckinley stood guard outside to prevent eavesdropping.
At this point, they had learned of Lily Gray’s experiences in the Gray family from Ethan Wilson’s account.
Bella Scott was both moved by the care of Mr. and Mrs. Gray towards her daughter,
and heartbroken by Lily’s experiences at both the Gray and Austin Lucas’ homes.
In particular, thinking back to how she had referred to Lily in the past as “that remarried woman” and “a woman not fit for polite company,” her heart was filled with regret, as if it was being cut with a dull knife.
Perhaps out of pity for her daughter, or perhaps due to guilt and distress, Bella Scott vented all her anger on Noah Ford.
“Noah Ford… you must tell me! Why did you deceive me back then?”
“At that time, you and my mother-in-law both said that Hannah had undergone a DNA test and that she was our daughter. But before you came, I had already tested her myself, and she had no blood relationship with me, Oliver, or Albert! Noah Ford, I want your explanation! Your deception has made me suffer so much…”
Her suffering nearly led her to harm her own child!
Noah Ford was already middle-aged. Although he had grown older, he appeared to have been a dashing, dapper, and outstanding man when he was younger.
He sat opposite Bella Scott, looking just as unhappy.
Noah Ford suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, forcing himself to remain calm, and recounted the events of that year.
He began slowly, “I was also forced by the circumstances to bring Hannah back to the Ford family.”
Speaking of which, it all happened many years ago.
When Lily Gray was not yet three years old, Bella Scott had just given birth to her youngest son Albert Landers.
During that time, she was in her postpartum period, so Lily Gray was almost always being cared for by a nanny due to her limited energy.
However, one day, the nanny came back anxiously with a pale face, saying that she had taken Miss Gray out for a walk outside the villa, and when she turned around, Miss Gray had disappeared.
Afterward, the Ford family spent countless resources in their search, but they still couldn’t find their missing daughter.
Meanwhile, Bella Scott, who had just given birth, couldn’t accept this terrible news and fell into postpartum depression.
One could say that, if it wasn’t for Albert Landers still needing to breastfeed,
perhaps Bella Scott would have followed her missing daughter and left as well.
