Chapter 1

Author: Nameless
Amber Cambry followed me to the residential complex holding a bag of apples.

"Are you sure bringing just a bag of apples won't look too shabby?"

Without looking back, I replied, "I told you, you didn't need to bring anything at all."

"Walt, you're home? Oh, and this is..."

Derrick Wilshere's hands were covered in fish scales. He hastily wiped them on his apron. Amber didn't mind in the least. She eagerly grasped his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Wilshere! I'm Walt's classmate!"

The hidden camera captured my father's flustered expression. My case had drawn widespread local attention, so Amber decided to livestream the whole thing.

The live-stream chat scrolled frantically.

[His hands are cracked from the cold. He's scaling fish in the freezing northern winter without any gloves on. This breaks my heart.]

[He reminds me of my own father.]

[Walt Wilshere just stabbed him 18 times! 18 times! And now he's already scaling fish to earn tuition money for his son. How could Walt Wilshere be so heartless?]

A wad of crumpled banknotes was pulled out from the apron pocket, and my father smoothed them out with great effort.

"Walt, I made some money selling fish today. It's not much, but I hope you don't mind. We can't afford expensive meals, but we can buy a few drinks with this... Oh, no!"

The banknotes fluttered through the air, and the coins rolled on the floor.

Amber scrambled to pick them up.

"Walt, what are you doing? This is Mr. Wilshere's hard-earned money!"

I merely stared at the hurt in my father's eyes, let out a cold chuckle, and walked straight into my room without looking back.

Outside the door came the sound of Amber helping my father gather the loose change and clean up.

Moments later, she walked into my room.

"I don't know what happened between you two, but no matter what, he's still your father. You hurt his feelings just now. The least you can do is pretend to care!"

I raised my head.

"You just got here. Why don't you observe a little longer?"

She hesitated for a moment, touched the pinhole camera hidden near her collar, and remained silent.

A knock came from the door.

"Walt, I cut some fruit for you and your classmate..."

"Get lost!"

I hurled my schoolbag violently at the door, and the sound of shattering porcelain echoed from outside.

My father seemed to choke back a sob.

"I'm sorry..."

"Hey! You—!"

Amber couldn't stand it anymore and opened the door.

When she came back in after cleaning up, her eyes were teary.

"I gave Mr. Wilshere those apples, and he cut them into little rabbit shapes to cheer you up."

She showed me fragments of the shattered apple.

Tears fell from her eyes.

I turned my head away.

"Disgusting."

"Walt, you—!"

Furious, she sat down on a stool.

"Fine! I'll stay right here to see how you could possibly be in the right!"

As soon as she sat down, she noticed a broken photo frame in the wastebasket.

"Is this... a picture of you and Mr. Wilshere?"

She picked it up carefully, flipping through the photos one by one.

"You two used to be so close. Look at how you hugged him here. And look, you even wrote here: 'I will love Daddy forever'."

I cast her a cold, indifferent glance.

"Haven't you noticed that these were all taken when I was a kid?"

Amber froze. She flipped the photos back and forth.

"Come to think of it... where is your mother? When I was helping Mr. Wilshere clean up just now, I noticed there weren't any photos of a woman in his room. There were only photos of you two. Is your mother..."

    The Wilshere family's private hospital was raided and sealed off, and all the specialized medical equipment prepared for Bruce was thoroughly destroyed.The court officially halted the Wilshere family's illegal transplant operations.As I gradually regained the ability to stand under Amber's attentive care, my very first priority was to visit the hospital and check on my family.Bruce was no longer looking so high and mighty. Lying in a hospital bed hooked up to a respirator, he looked as though he might breathe his last any second.Upon seeing me—healthy and intact—his hand twitched frantically as if trying to reach out and grab me."Why... we were so close... just a little bit more..."If only you hadn't resisted... I... I could have survived! I could have lived!!"My parents sat beside his hospital bed, turning their hollow, dark-rimmed eyes toward me with gazes devoid of any vitality.Their eldest son's illness had thoroughly crushed them. With the court acting upon the evi

    "Walt! What did I ever do wrong for you to treat me like this?!"My father in the defendant's box suddenly grew frantic. Overcome by a rush of blood to his head, he clutched his chest and collapsed.Court bailiffs rushed forward to support him as chaos erupted in the courtroom.My father had fainted, so the trial was temporarily adjourned.In the lounge room, as I watched my father who had supposedly fainted sitting there sipping tea, I felt as though I might grind my teeth to dust."The paternity test is fake, isn't it?"Looking at me with red eyes, he asked, "What are you talking about, Walt?""Stop pretending!"I gritted my teeth. "Given your financial resources, fabricating a paternity test is hardly difficult! Although I have no idea where you found that double, I know it's you!"You're the one who broke my legs! You're the one who pretended for 18 years! And you were the one at the hospital that day!"Do you really think I wouldn't recognize my own father?!"His smile

    Amber stood at the very front, her head wrapped in bandages."Right here! Don't miss a single thing!""Turn them off! Turn off those cameras!"My father instantly panicked.A surging tide of reporters poured into the room under Amber's lead. The Wilshere family's bodyguards failed to intercept the reporters, and their defensive line was completely breached.The ropes binding me were cut away. Amber pulled the cotton out of my mouth while shouting, "There has to be evidence inside the hospital! Check every corner!""Throw these people out!" my mother shrieked in panic.The moment Amber helped me up to leave, I caught sight of my parents through the dense crowd of people. They were holding my terrified older brother tightly in their arms, looking anxious and nervous.It was the kind of love and affection that 18 years of pretense could never replicate.My father caught sight of me, too.I heard an angry roar from behind me."Don't you dare leave, Walt Wilshere! Are you just go

    When I was dragged out of the front passenger seat by the bodyguards, I was still calling out frantically, "Amber! Amber, wake up, please, Amber!""Hush, little brother, don't wake everyone up."Hearing that nightmare of a voice, I slowly turned my head.The boy who shared my exact facial features was dressed in a high-end designer suit, looking down at me with condescending superiority.He raised an index finger to his lips, his hand smooth from a privileged life.A carefree, arrogant smile played at the corners of his lips.Polished leather shoes stepped onto the asphalt. My father emerged from a Rolls-Royce, immaculate in a bespoke designer suit."I told you, if you just cooperate obediently, you'll still be Daddy's good boy."A crisp woman's voice immediately followed."If you run away again, you'll suffer worse than broken legs."I clenched my teeth.That was my mother..."Let me go!"My father yanked me up by the collar and hoisted me into the car by brute force, com

    Before the reporters' cameras, my father looked at me with swollen eyes."I'm sorry, Walt, I can't do this any more... I love you, but I also want to stay alive to keep you company for a little longer."The moment Amber returned, she smashed the pinhole camera to pieces."I shouldn't have listened to you! For 30 days, I tormented an innocent father! I'm done! Take care of yourself!""It's not 30 days yet," I reminded her.Without answering, she packed her bag and turned to leave."Farewell," I said goodbye.Her footsteps paused, and she turned back. "What did you say?"I smiled."Thank you for keeping me company, but barring any accidents, I'm about to die."She paused, spat out a cold "liar", and slammed the door shut behind her.On the night of the 30th day, I lay quietly in bed.Suddenly, the window was pulled open with a violent yank.Amber climbed in through the window and grabbed me firmly by the shoulders."There's something wrong with your father!

    That familiar mockery, readable only by me, flashed briefly across his face and vanished.That night, Amber scolded me."I talked with Mr. Wilshere all night. He's a pitiful single father. You shouldn't treat him like that!"The chat was flooded with a sea of [ungrateful son].I didn't retort.I stood up."Do you really want me to obey everything he says?"She nodded."Fine."I walked into the kitchen, took out the BBQ ribs my father prepared, and ate a piece.Shortly after, red hives began breaking out all over my arms.I clutched my throat, unable to utter a single word."Walt!"I pointed frantically at my windpipe. It was swelling up; no air could get through.When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital ward.Amber stared at the lab results in utter disbelief."Celery? You're allergic to celery, and there was celery mixed into the ribs?""I don't even like BBQ ribs in the first place."Amber froze. "But didn't Mr. Wilshere say you've loved them since you were a
