To get her older daughter into a wealthy family, the mother heartlessly stole her younger daughter's newborn son. Then claimed, her older daughter had given birth to the wealthy heir's baby. Devastated, Jessica desperately tried to get her son back, but her mother claimed Jessica was mentally unstable. Jessica was then locked away in a psychiatric hospital hundreds of miles away. Meanwhile, the mother moved into the luxurious estate with her older daughter. Three years quickly passed. Megan eventually returned home from a trip. She received an urgent letter straight from the battlefield. No one could have expected what came next. Jack was only Megan's husband on paper, but he had been killed in the war. The news should have been devastating, but Megan didn't shed a single tear. Her mother was even more relieved, because the mother and daughter finally had nothing left to fear. They would never have to worry about Jack exposing Megan's fake pregnancy. Meanwhile, Jessica was still trapped inside the psychiatric hospital. She had slowly gotten used to life there. Then one day, a priest brought her a newspaper and completely shattered the peace she had finally found. Jessica found Jack's name on the list of fallen soldiers. The news completely shattered Jessica She rushed into her room and broke down sobbing Images of Jack being shot kept flashing through her mind She had imagined countless times that Jack would come back from the war and take her home That hope was the only thing that had kept her going. Maybe fate had finally given Jessica a second chance. The priest who brought the newspaper was deeply moved by what she had been through. He encouraged Jessica to fight for her child. He even paid for a lawyer out of his own pocket. By coincidence, Jessica had seen this lawyer before. He had once defended one of Jessica's friends in court. After seeing everything Jessica had been forced to endure, the lawyer vowed to help Jessica get justice. Before long, he visited Jessica at the psychiatric hospital. He asked whether anyone had actually witnessed her giving birth. Jessica said only her friend Mary and her father could prove it, but her father was already dead. The lawyer realized Mary might be the only witness left. He immediately headed to the estate where Megan lived and made his intentions crystal clear. Well, but you did, Mrs. Thomas. You did steal him. I'll call the foreman. I'm not listening to this. Do sit down, Mrs. Bergman. And don't make threats or we'll all go to court. We invite his grandfather Mr George Thomas and his great the Colonel will have a real lawyer picnic The mother immediately realized the lawyer wasn bluffing Her attitude instantly became much more cautious. But Megan refused to back down and insisted the baby was hers. They still had a pregnancy certificate from the clinic. But they had no idea the lawyer had already investigated everything. The doctor who issued the certificate had died two years earlier. Everyone in the area also knew he had a terrible reputation. So the lawyer came up with one obvious solution. Both sisters would have to undergo medical examinations. Doctors could then determine which one had actually given birth. She wrote to beg for help. Seven times she wrote. And not once did you reply. Not once. You were content to let her rot in that place for the rest of her life. Well, I would like to take you to court to expose this outrage and to strip you of every ill-gotten, wretched penny. Believe me, I would really enjoy the task of ruining and discrediting you The mother realized her entire scheme was about to be exposed so she finally asked the lawyer exactly what he wanted The lawyer demanded that Jessica be set free He also demanded that the mother drop every charge against Jessica To everyone surprise the mother agreed almost immediately But she had one condition Jessica could never see her child again. The lawyer returned to the hospital and told Jessica the terms. But, Jessica was still the child's mother. There was no way she could accept never seeing her son again. The lawyer then revealed one more part of the deal. Her mother was willing to give Jessica a luxury home as compensation. But Jessica still refused to accept the deal. Disappointed, the lawyer turned and started to leave. But after a few steps, he suddenly turned back. He warned Jessica not to let her emotions ruin her only chance. Her first move had to be getting her freedom back. Then she would still have plenty of chances to fight for her son. Jessica finally calmed down and accepted the lawyer's advice. Three brutal years had finally passed. Jessica finally boarded the train home as a free woman. Jessica had spent three years trapped inside that institution. But not once did she stop longing for her son. Instead, those three years made one thing painfully clear. Some things in life are worth fighting for. And you can't depend on someone else's mercy to get them back.
