NovelFameChapter 1044: "Ernest." Nyla's voice grew stern. Her eyes narrowed as she watched her eldest grandson closely. "Tell me, do you know something I don't? Have you always known that he isn't Eric?" Ernest's expression tensed. His lips pressed together tightly as he avoided her gaze.
With Nyla's insistence on a DNA test, there was no hiding it. Once the results cback, the truth would be laid bare.
Nyla, who had a keen sense of Ernest's character after raising him herself, felt a dread solidifying inside her.
She gasped, choking back sobs as she spoke. "God, it's really true!" Nyla suddenly reached out, grabbed Eric by the collar, and pulled him close. Her eyes searched his face, desperately seeking answers.

"Refusing to speak?" Nyla's frustration surged as she turned to Ernest and grabbed his arm. "Then you must tell me! Where is your brother?" "What happened to him?" "Grandma..." Ernest was equally at a loss for words.
"You knew this man was an impostor..." Nyla's aged eyes clouded with confusion and sorrow.
A sudden memory struck her, causing her to gasp. "I get it now. The year you were both kidnapped... the one who returned with you wasn't Eric, was it? It was him!" Ernest stayed silent.
At this point, his silence spoke volumes.
A soft moan escaped Nyla as she closed her eyes, overwhelmed by pain. Tears rushed down her cheeks.
She remembered now! where stories grow When Eric was rescued and cback hthat year, he was different. The boy who had always been gentle and reserved had turned unpredictable and defiant...
"I thought... I was so sure..." Nyla's voice broke off, her thoughts scattered.
She had convinced herself that the tic change in her grandson's behavior was the aftermath of the trauma from being kidnapped.
"It turned out..." It turned out that it wasn't a change in personality; it was a completely different person taking Eric's place.

If he hadn't lost his real brother, there would have been no need for Ernest e to find someone to take his place.
