The Contract Marriage

Chapter 347 Blood Is Thicker Than Water

If she was really sentenced to more than 20 years, then by the time, she got out of prison, she would be already almost 50 years old.

Thinking about her father who was almost 70 years old and her brother who was still in college, Vivian’s eyes instantly filled with tears.

However, she still clenched her teeth and silently said in her heart, ‘No! No! I can't stay here for such a long time! No!’

The law is heartless! No matter how unwilling Vivian was, what awaited her would be the most severe punishment!

The next day.

Christian and Sarah left the villa with Stephen after breakfast. This time, the case finally had a breakthrough. Christian and Sarah felt much more relaxed.

Since Stephen's identity had been exposed and Hannah was also been found, Sarah wanted to tell her mother about her son as soon as possible.

When the car was about to reach Sarah's neighborhood, Sarah received a call from her uncle, Joseph and found out that her mother did not agree to the matter with her father-in-law. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Joseph told Sarah over the phone and asked her to help him persuade her. Sarah agreed readily and only then did she put the line away.

Christian listened to Sarah's words silently. He saw that she put away her phone and turned his head to look at her, asking, "What did uncle say to you?"

"My mother refused to talk to your father. Uncle asked me to persuade her."

Sarah looked at him mischievously and blinked. "Isn't Military Commander Cooper good at talking? I think this small matter will be left to you."

Then she looked at her son in her arms and said, "Son, don’t you think so?"

Christian could not help but laugh. "This soldier can do whatever he wants, but this time his target is his mother-in-law. I don't dare to offend the other party. You better spare me!"

"Then what do you mean? You don't want to care anymore?"

Christian smiled. "Actually, I don't think anyone else can do anything about it. As long as one person takes action, it will be settled."

Sarah immediately looked at him curiously. "Who is it? Who is so powerful?"

"Who else could it be? Of course, it's my dad!"

"How would Dad settle this matter?"

"Isn't it simple? I'll go back tonight and have a chat with Dad and ask his thoughts. If he doesn't object, then let him have a romantic dinner with your mother. How romantic! Wife, don't you think so?"

Christian couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Sarah reproached him and made things difficult for him. She glanced at him and said, "But my mother also has to agree!"

"Don't worry! My dad is so handsome. Your mom will definitely agree!"

The two of them chatted and laughed along the way back to Sarah's home.

Samantha was about to go out when she saw her daughter and son-in-law carrying Stephen back. She was somewhat puzzled. Which family's daughter went back to her mother's house while carrying someone else's son?

"Where's Simona? Why did you guys bring Stephen back?" Samantha put down the grocery bag in her hand and returned to the living room.

Christian carried his son and Sarah to the sofa and sat down. Sarah looked at her mother and smiled. "Mom, I came to tell you something important today."

"What is it?" Samantha looked at her daughter and then at her son-in-law in confusion.

Christian looked at Sarah and knew that she would definitely be emotional if she said this. So, he looked at Samantha and took the initiative, "Mom, let me tell you. Some days ago, I received an anonymous text message saying that Simona is not related to me by blood. . ."

"What? What kind of person is so bored?” Samantha interrupted in surprise when she heard what Christian said.

She then looked at Stephen, who was in Christian's arms, and couldn't help but ask. "You don't really believe it, do you?"

"Mom, don't get too excited. Let Christian finish his words." Sarah looked at her mother's excited look and comforted her with a smile.

Samantha nodded and continued to look at her son-in-law, "En, Christian, say it. . . "

"At first I did not mind and felt that this message must have been done on purpose. But the message said that Simona's blood type was O-type. I got a little suspicious. Because I'm AB type, and Sarah is B type. It was definitely impossible for us to give birth to a child with O-type blood, so I checked. In the end, I found out that Simona's blood type is really an O-type, so I have no choice but to doubt it. If Simona wasn't the daughter of Sarah and I, then where is our child.”

“Later on, I thought about how Sarah gave birth in the early hours of the morning. At that time, there was only one person who gave birth with her. That was Vivian. At that time, I suspected that Simona and Stephen might have been swapped out. Two days ago, Sarah and I brought Stephen to the paternity appraisal center to do an appraisal. The results came out two days later, proving that Stephen is indeed Sarah and my child!"

As soon as Christian finished speaking, Samantha's gaze fell on the little child. She felt that this matter was really inconceivable. "Sarah, is this true?"

"Yes, Mom, this is true!" Sarah took her son from Christian's arms as she spoke and carried him to sit beside her mother.

Samantha immediately took her grandson over and lowered her head to kiss his little face.

"This child has been very pleasing to my eyes since he was born. No wonder he did not recognize Vivian when he was born. Sigh, blood is thicker than water!" Samantha looked at her grandson and could not help but sigh.

"Yes, we also didn't expect things to be like this."

"Why would Vivian think of doing such a thing? This is too heartless! Simona looks so cute, I can't help but like her the moment I saw her. Doesn't Vivian’s heart ache when she sees it? No matter what, that child is still the flesh that fell off Vivian's body. Sigh, Simona's life is also bitter. Having such a mother. . ." Samantha could not help but shake her head as she spoke.

"Yes, Simona is such a good child." Sarah also could not help but feel wronged for Simona.

"But when Vivian was giving birth, she definitely could not get out of bed. Then how did she exchange the child?" Samantha still could not understand this matter.

Christian said slowly, "Sarah and I have already reported the case and the police have basically investigated it. The mastermind is Vivian and the maid by her side is called Hannah. The other one is the military doctor in my army. When Sarah was giving birth, that military doctor was also an obstetrician in the city center hospital. After that, she probably was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so she resigned. Hannah had already been caught. And according to her confession, my father also fell ill that night because Vivian made Hannah put a medicine that caused a heart attack in the bird's nest porridge that my father drank. That's why my father was suddenly hospitalized."

Samantha's voice trembled when she heard it. "What did you say? Is it because of this your father

suddenly fall ill? Vivian, that woman is too bad! Why is her heart so ruthless? Isn't she afraid of retribution?"

"She just wanted to change her daughter to a son so that he could inherit the Cooper Family's property, but her plan was really wrong!"

"If what you said is true, then I think Vivian's mother definitely knew about it. I remember now. It was the first day after Sarah gave birth, Vivian's mother ran over to see Simona. At that time, I was thinking. . . Why is she so polite? Now it seems like she already knew that Simona was her granddaughter at that time. She definitely wanted to see what the child looked like! Didn't I hear that she died in a car accident a while ago? Calculating to the end, what did Vivian get in the end?" Samantha could not help but shake her head.

"Yes! Her calculations and schemes threw herself into prison! When Vivian did these things back then, she should have thought of the consequences today!"

Samantha heard her daughter's words and looked at the grandson in her arms with lingering fear, “Luckily Vivian was sent to prison. If she had divorced Julian back then and took the child away. . . Even thinking about it makes me feel scared. I really didn't think that Stephen would encounter such a terrifying experience just after he was born. Stephen. . ."

Samantha couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine as she spoke. The more she thought about it, the more she felt a chill down her spine.

Christian looked at his mother-in-law and comforted her, “Fortunately, this matter has already been investigated. We already know about Stephen's background. Mom, you don't have to worry too much."

"Yes, Mom! This matter has already been investigated clearly. Furthermore, Stephen has basically been by my side since he was born. This can be considered lucky."

"En, that's right! Now that I think about it, the little guy is really amazing. He didn't like Vivian when he was just born. Our Stephen seems to be someone who will do big things in the future!" Samantha finally had a smile on her face at the end of her sentence.

Christian and Sarah also smiled.

Even though Samantha was a little nervous when she heard about this matter just now, but after hearing her daughter and son-in-law finish talking, her heart slowly fell to the ground.

Looking at her grandson's cute little face carefully, Samantha realized that her little grandson actually looked very similar to Christian. But it was because Christian looked similar to Julian, she thought that Stephen looked similar to Julian.

Stephen's identity, the investigation of the case, and then Christian’s transfer to the city from another place, each of these news shocked Samantha.

Specially Christian being transferred back to the city, although the army was still more than an hour away from the city, compared to other cities, Samantha felt that was already very good.

Although Samantha was shocked at first because of the matter of her grandson, a moment later, she was amused by the cuteness of her grandson.

It had been three months since she saw Stephen. But today she felt that this little guy really had something to do with her.

Once familial love was ignited, no one would be able to resist it. The more Samantha looked at this little grandson, the happier she became. She carried him here and there to take a look. She was so happy that she could not close her mouth.

When the little guy arrived at a new environment, he was also in high spirits. He blinked his black eyes and looked over there. He was so amused by his grandmother that he kept grinning and giggling.

Looking at her mother and son’s excited expressions, Sarah’s heart was filled with happiness.

It was naturally Christian who was in charge of lunch. Sarah stayed in the hall with Stephen and Samantha.

Seeing Christian going the kitchen door and starting cooking inside, Sarah looked at her mother and asked tentatively, "Mom, did my uncle come to find you?"

Samantha replied without raising her head, "Yes. . ."

"Mom, then what do you think?" Actually, the person who voted the most for her uncle's proposal was her. Her mother's life had always been her biggest concern.

Samantha was old and had no one to take care of by her side, so Sarah was often worried about this matter.

Now that her uncle mentioned it, it solved her worries. Of course. . . She also hoped that her mother's old life would not be so lonely.
