Chapter 118 Blood Test
Theodore's surprise lasted just a moment before he calmly asked, "Mr. Hall, you have a great memory. After all these years, you still remember so clearly."
Debra sighed, "I was friends with your mom. She got badly hurt protecting the baby in her womb. Of course, I remember it vividly.
Your sister was different from other babies when she was born-fair, chubby, with big eyes like your mom's. She had a birthmark that looked like a plum blossom. I cried, thinking it was your mom leaving her favorite thing for your sister." As Theodore left the doctor's office, Debra's words echoed in his mind.
Debra had been his mom's best friend and her prenatal doctor.
Her words had to be true.
His sister had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her back, left by their mom.
His mom must have been very worried about his sister, using the birthmark to protect her, as if she were always by her side.
But the sister he grew up with didn't have this birthmark.
Theodore felt a sharp pain in his gut.
He was now sure Isabella wasn't his mom's child.
He wondered, 'So whose child is she? Where's my real sister? Was my mom's car accident really as grandpa said, a deliberate act?'
Theodore stood in the hospital stairwell and pulled out a cigarette.
His hands shook so badly it took several tries to light it.
He took several deep drags.
The thick smoke made him cough for a long time, his eyes bloodshot.
After a while, he finally calmed down.
He had to find out the truth to know who took his sister.
He took out his phone and called his uncle, Clifton Taylor.
Before Clifton could speak, Theodore urgently asked, "Uncle Clifton, did my mom have any birthmarks?"
Clifton was a bit surprised and paused for a few seconds before saying, "She had a plum blossom birthmark on her waist. Why are you bringing this up now?"
Theodore's back hit the wall heavily.
The same plum blossom birthmark-it couldn't be a coincidence.
He gripped his phone tightly, his fingers turning pale.
"Uncle Clifton, I'll visit Grandpa and Grandma in a few days. I miss them."
Clifton laughed happily. "Your grandparents will be thrilled. Remember to bring Isabella. They've been wanting to see her."
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Theodore's eyes.
Debra had said his mom died shortly after giving birth to his sister.
Everyone was deep in grief.
His sister had been taken home by the family nanny.
She hadn't even been sent to the nursery before being taken home, so there was no chance of a mix-up.
So his sister had been swapped.
It seemed his mom's car accident was definitely suspicious. Their goal was to swap the children.

Half an hour later, he returned to Isabella's room.
Seeing his troubled expression, Isabella immediately asked, "Theodore, what's wrong? Is my condition getting worse?"
Theodore smiled and patted her head. "What are you thinking? It's just a cold. You'll be fine after some rest, but you need a blood test."
Isabella looked at him pitifully. "Theodore, I'm like this because of Joey. Last time I was attacked, it must have been her. Haven't you found any clues?"
"No, that person is well-hidden, and there's no trace. Besides, Joey was at the bar drinking that day, with staff as witnesses."
"She's a lawyer, so she must know how to cover her tracks. That day my house was haunted, it must have been her. Theodore, she's done this to me, and you're not going to do anything?" Seeing Isabella's aggressive demeanor, Theodore suddenly thought of his mother.
She had been kind and treated the household staff well. Even now, the housekeeper would tear up at the mention of her.
He used to think Isabella had inherited their mother's temperament.
But recently, he realized that the person he knew was just a facade.
She had none of their mother's traits.
A cold look appeared in Theodore's eyes as he said sternly, "If you keep causing trouble for Joey, I won't care how Sebastian treats you."
Seeing Theodore angry, Isabella immediately lowered her head, her voice filled with grievance. "Theodore, I won't cause any more trouble. Please don't abandon me."
At that moment, the TV in the hospital room interrupted with a news bulletin.
It was about Joey winning the case against Sebastian and being interviewed by reporters.

She gripped the bedsheet tightly.
Although Sebastian hadn't admitted that the girl he was pursuing was Joey, the look in his eyes when he saw her was full of love.
That was more heartbreaking than a verbal admission.
Isabella thought, 'How much does he care about Joey? He doesn't dare to admit it publicly for fear of upsetting her.
This version of Sebastian is nothing like the domineering, cold-hearted man I know.
Why could he set aside his pride for Joey?'
Isabella stared furiously at the TV screen without blinking.
It wasn't until the nurse came to draw her blood that she snapped out of it.
Darren walked in at that moment.
Seeing her distressed, he immediately went over to comfort her. "Stop watching. We don't need that cold-hearted Sebastian. I'll find you a man a hundred times better than him."
Isabella sobbed quietly in Darren's arms. "But I love him."
Darren sighed. "It's Dad's fault for believing the rumors that Sebastian was going blind. That's why I broke off the engagement. Otherwise, you would have married him long ago, and Joey wouldn't be around." "Dad, can you find out which rehab center Sebastian was in when he was injured? I have a feeling he and Joey have known each other for a long time."
"Alright, I'll look into it. Now get your blood drawn. Your brother has also arranged a check-up for me, so I need to get my blood drawn too." Half an hour later, Theodore walked into a private lab with two vials of blood.
