Clara stepped back quickly to keep Lady Eleanor away from Leo.
Clara: Please do not touch my son!
Lady Eleanor: You do not understand what that mark on his skin means!
Julian: Eleanor, please calm down before you make a huge mistake.
Lady Eleanor: Look at his neck, Julian, you know that exact mark!
Julian stepped closer and looked carefully at the crying baby.
His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the unusual birthmark.
Twenty years ago, Lady Eleanor had a young son named Arthur.
Arthur had vanished from a local park during a dark family holiday.
The family searched for years but never found the lost young boy.
Arthur had possessed that exact same star birthmark on his neck.
Lady Eleanor: Who is the father of this small child, maid?
Clara: My late husband was named Arthur, but he passed away recently.
Lady Eleanor: Did Arthur have a birthmark on his neck as well?
Clara: Yes, he had the exact same star mark right behind his ear.
Clara felt her heart beat fast against her small ribs.
She had met Arthur three years ago in a small local town.
He was an orphan who grew up without knowing his real family history.
They got married young and worked hard to build a peaceful life.
Tragically, Arthur passed away in a car accident before Leo was born.
Clara was left alone to raise their son without any family help.
Lady Eleanor covered her mouth with both hands as tears fell down.
Lady Eleanor: Arthur was my son who disappeared so many years ago!
Clara: That is impossible, Arthur was raised in a public foster home!
Julian: We searched for Arthur for decades without finding a single clue.
Lady Eleanor: This child is my actual grandson, my own flesh and blood!
Clara held Leo tightly as confusion filled her tired mind.
She could not believe the rich woman was related to her husband.
The hallway was filled with a heavy and emotional silence.
