Spoiler warning:
Yes. The OGbaby died.
At first, to spare the uncle some guilt, she told him that she killed the baby to survive.
But they end up squabbling a bit and she accidentally lets slip the real truth. The baby died due to their neglect.
No baby can survive 2 weeks unattended, magical or not.
Omg, that’s so sad （/TДT)/ what was their reaction to knowing the truth…!
Spoiler warning:
Here are some simplified quotes from the novel:
- [After Hela takes the blame for the death of OG niece.]
“You killed my niece and took her place?”
"Yes.”
"Sure, let’s just say that. Since you've started this role play, you'll have to finish it, Selena Crown."
MC was speechless, What the hell are you talking about?
- [After she accidentally blurts the truth that the baby was already dead when she took over.]
The uncle’s eyes grew bigger. His eyes were shaking.
“......as expected” The uncle murmured.
"You lied."
- [Stuff happened so they couldn’t really finish the conversation. But after everything was taken care of, this was their conversation on the matter of OG niece]
“.....the child died because my father and I were mistaken."
The uncle’s eyes looked heavy when he said so.
"Do you regret it?"
"········ I thought I did the least by attaching maids to the child."
He seemed regretful.
“.....Why? She was still your niece.”
“Well, what do you think I should have done? Should I have raised the child like my own that came from outside? She was originally a child who shouldn't have come. She wasn't supposed to be born into the family.
That's what I thought, but seeing you growing up made me think otherwise. In fact, what was really wrong was probably this family.
I know it's my fault I should have taken better care of the child.
...But it's our fault, You don't have to feel guilty about that. You will still be my niece and a member of the Crown family.
It's me who should atone and feel guilty about that child. So you just live as you are now."
So sad… thank you for sharing! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
The fact that she reincarnated in the baby's body means the baby died right ....maybe it's because it's not the first time the baby was left by the maids.....
