Upon saying this, Linda Stuart's tears flowed down her cheeks.
She and Jack Hernandez had been successful undercover agents, helping the police to eliminate drugs multiple times, but that success also brought them danger.
Fortunately, Easton was placed with the Hernandezs, but they had no choice but to keep little Bella with them since she was too young.
As they were busy fleeing, little Bella, just a baby, didn't understand what was happening and cried out of hunger.
If they didn't leave the child behind, the whole family would have died. Out of desperation, they abandoned the child at the hospital.
When they finally escaped the pursuit and wanted to find their child, she was already gone.
The only clue back then was that Mila Gray was seen around that time near the hospital and somebody took a side profile picture of her.
Over the years, she was disheartened, and though she later gave birth to Tina, she never forgot about her daughter Bella.
