Chapter 2566

Luna was startled by Joshua‘s words. For a minute, she could not register what he truly meant and
thought Joshua was grieving for their missing child.

“Is…that so?” Luna sighed. She clicked open the news website again. “Oh, wow… I wouldn‘t have
noticed it if you didn‘t tell me.”

Luna knew Yannie had a baby out of wedlock, so when she saw the news, her first thought was that
Yannie got betrayed and did not pay attention to the information published in the news. It only came to
her mind after Joshua mentioned it.

“What a coincidence for us to deliver on the same day,” remarked Luna.

“It‘s not just that.” Joshua, on the other end of the line, inhaled deeply before he solemnly added, “The
hospital Yannie was in was the same hospital Hunter said he stole Riley from. The day Yannie
delivered her baby was the same day Riley and our daughter were born.”

This took Luna by complete surprise, so much so that her phone nearly dropped to the floor. “Joshua…
Are you saying…”

“Yes,” said Joshua. “I‘ve checked every pregnant woman in the hospital, and no one reported a missing
child. So, I suspected as you said that the mother could‘ve been pregnant out of wedlock and her
medical record was taken away.

“Nonetheless, there were too many girls admitted to the hospital, and all of their medical records were
complete. That‘s why my men couldn‘t find any lead. Now that I see…”

He took another deep breath as his emotions began to whir. “I think Yannie is Riley‘s birth mother.”

The statement dropped like a bomb, and Luna felt her body becoming tense. She leaned back on her
executive chair as her voice became erratic.



“How can that be?”

If Riley was Yannie‘s daughter…

Suddenly, Luna remembered the times Yannie visited Riley in the hospital. The first time Riley saw
Yannie, she smiled so happily. Luna even joked with

Yannie, saying that Riley must have adored Yannie.

When Luna knew Yannie also liked Riley, she even proposed to let Yannie become Riley‘s godmother.

It never struck Luna that Yannie was Riley‘s birth mother. However…

Luna bit her lip.

The father of Yannie‘s baby was Thomas. Furthermore, Joshua said he knew who Riley‘s father was,
DeRe_$&123;J he had the paternity test to prove that person was Riley‘s father.

With these thoughts in mind, Luna gripped her phone tightly and asked, “You said that you have found
Riley‘s father. Her father…”

Luna sniffled. “Is it Thomas Howard?”

Joshua furrowed his brow lightly. “How did you know?”

Luna‘s heart plummeted.

She could accept the fact that Yannie was Riley‘s birth mother and even felt fortunate to hear that.
However, when hearing that Riley‘s birth father was Thomas, her heart clenched in disconcertion.
