I lose my memory and wander the streets, surviving on scraps and the kindness of strangers. Then, Miles Blackwood from the Institute of Medical Research finds me and takes me in. He tells me that I'm his long-lost fiancee who ran away years ago, and that he's spent every ounce of energy searching for me ever since. As I'm frail and riddled with illness, he watches over me as I take my medication every day, tracing the scar on my lower back with a strange, tender affection. But everything shatters the day I regain my memory. I accidentally overhear Miles speaking to a friend. "Miles, you forcibly removed Cassidy's kidney for Claudia back then. That was what caused her to lose her memories. And in the end, you let Claudia take all the credit for the research. "Now, after Cassidy's been suffering out there for years, you're bringing her back just to use her for the artificial kidney project? Aren't you worried that she'll regain her memories?" Miles scoffs. "She's incredibly grateful to me now. Besides, she's just a sickly woman. So what if she finds out? As long as we succeed in the research on artificial kidneys, Claudia will become the star of the medical world. As for Cassidy? She'll have made her contribution to the medical field." A cold chill rushes through me in an instant—I am Cassidy.

Once in the ambulance, I was promptly transported to the hospital for emergency treatment. I vaguely saw some familiar faces in the rush of things. "Cassie! Oh, my daughter!"In my dazed state, I heard my parents calling me, their voices hoarse. "Miles Blackwood deserves to die! I shouldn't have let you go to the press conference in the first place!"I felt someone gripping my hand tightly, unwilling to let go. Those voices dripped with despair. I had actually been really happy these past few months. Memories suddenly flashed through my mind—memories of how happy my parents had been when I was accepted into college, memories of when I made a significant breakthrough in my research, and memories of how Miles had said he would marry me in the future. In the end, I struggled to open my eyes, only to see Carter, whose eyes were reddened."You'll be fine soon, Cassie! Hang in there! Just hold on a little longer, okay? The doctor's already here!"My mind was a mess, but the onl

"Wait a minute!" I used one of the microphones backstage. The moment my voice rang out, the hall fell silent. Step by step, I made my way onto the stage. When Miles saw me, he staggered back in disbelief. His hands trembled slightly before he finally managed to speak. "Cassidy?"Meeting him again, I wondered what thoughts flashed through his mind in those brief seconds of hesitation. I smiled calmly, steadying myself against the podium.Miles approached me, reaching out to pull me into a hug. "I knew you'd be fine!"I fixed a cold, steely gaze on him. "Are you disappointed that I'm not dead yet?"Miles let out a mocking chuckle, and the fake smile on his face twisted into something darker. "What exactly are you up to, Cassidy? Back then, we just thought that you—""Yeah! You just thought that I was dead! Dare you tell everyone how I went through the surgery and nearly died?" I raised the microphone to my mouth and began recounting my encounters, from how I had my researc

After the men were done with her, they tossed her aside and forgot entirely about her. However, one of their wives eventually discovered the truth and confronted Claudia in her own home. Claudia was so scared she dared not step out of her house. In order to help her regain her confidence, Miles sold everything he had. Even the lab equipment was mortgaged. He also took odd jobs and was willing to do anything for money. But the moment he handed the money to Claudia, she went and splurged on a brand-new designer bag. Having grown used to luxury, there was no reining in her indulgence.As I sat in my wheelchair, Carter stayed beside me and updated me on their latest news. A faint smile tugged at my lips after I heard what he had to say. For the first time in days, I finally felt slightly better.Compared to my slow, grueling recovery, hearing of their downfall gave me far more strength. But this was only the beginning.My father had hired top medical experts from around the world to

As soon as my father cut off the funding, Miles came knocking. He stood in the living room, feigning exhaustion. But his eyes brimmed with greed."Mr. and Mrs. Swanson, the research is at the most critical stage. If you stop funding us now, we'll lose hundreds of millions! Besides, this concerns the recovery of countless kidney patients. Please, I'm begging you, don't cut the funding now."The moment my mother laid eyes on him, she looked ready to tear him apart. She'd long seen through his lies and empty words."Mr. Blackwood, the Swanson family was the one that funded all the equipment for the research institute. Our intention was to support Cassie's research. But from what we know, all that money went to your stepsister instead."Something flickered in Miles' eyes. "That's not true, Mrs. Swanson! Claudia's research is at a crucial point. We just used the money to push for faster results!""Is that so?" My father clenched his fists, staring daggers at Miles. "Mr. Blackwood, I su

Miles took a step forward and gripped my jaw in a vise-like grip with one hand, locking me in place.I struggled to break away from his grip, but to no avail. Soon, I was left gasping for breath, my body weak and powerless.With his other hand, he took the medicine and forced it into my mouth. The

The expression on Miles' face froze for a moment. Then, he pulled me into a hug, laughing and crying at the same time."Cassie! Do you really remember now, Cassie? That's great! Do you know what's kept me going all these years? It was you and the research institute! The surgery is our last step to

Enduring both physical and emotional pain, I ran away. I could feel tears wetting my pillow as I lay in bed.In my dazed state, I was utterly disconnected from the present. That was, until Miles softly pushed the door open and walked in with my medication for today."Why are you so quiet today?

After I heard the conversation Miles Blackwood had with his friend, Bjorn Nolan, I pretty much had to lean against the wall for support to keep myself upright. "Cassidy's lost so much because of you. She nearly died and was almost trafficked for… Anyway, you should treat her better," Bjorn said.
