He lifted his hand and waved it vaguely in the air, wearing a you-know-what-I-mean expression.“I mean… you know… blood tests were done anyway, so…” he said, not quite meeting my eyes. Hospitals just… run all kinds of tests when someone’s admitted. That’s pretty normal. They do that all the time…”A sharp sense of alarm rose in my chest. After being his wife for years, I knew that guilty look on his face far too well. In fact, as the dizziness from waking up gradually faded, my mind felt clearer than it had in days. Everything I’d learned since regaining consciousness began rapidly sorting and aligning itself in my head.Knight had said I’d gone into shock from a severe allergic reaction. Before that, I’d assumed it was a combination of the fall and an emotional breakdown causin
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a comfortable, soft hospital bed.It was quiet around me. My head wound had been carefully bandaged, and my whole body felt dully calm, slowed by medication.“How are you feeling?” A stranger’s voice—yet oddly familiar—came from beside me.I turned my head and saw a tall, handsome man with black hair and blue eyes standing by my bed, absent-mindedly peeling an apple.“Pardon me, who are you…” As I turned my head, a wave of dizziness hit me again. I must have had a concussion or something.“Seven years and you’ve really fallen even further,” the man cut in. His ice-blue eyes were unreadable as he bent slightly and looked down at me. “And here I thought that Silly Jenny nickname was pathetic enough already…”“Knight… you’re Caspian Knight.” It suddenly hit me where I had seen that face before.Despite the man before me being devastatingly handsome—sharp, magnetic, the kind of man who belonged on a magazine cover, not in my hospital room. Nothing l
“What are you talking about?” I shook off her hand when she tried to grab me and took a defensive stance. I had been waiting for an attack from Anna. I wasn’t prepared for this at all.What trick was she playing?The two children sitting nearby stood up uneasily. Seeing that, Alex immediately stepped forward to block their view.“Anna, talk properly. We’re all family. There’s no need to do this.”“No.” Anna was stubborn. She didn’t even look at Alex. She looked straight at me, and tears came instantly.“I have to get Jenny’s consent. Jenny, please save Lisa. She’s your niece. She’s your own flesh and blood.”“What? I don’t understand—”“Anna’s daughter Lisa has leukemia. She’s already had her tested against all of your blood relatives, and none of them matched. The doctor said that if she can’t find a match, she will die. Anna knew you definitely wouldn’t agree to be tested, so she came to me. She wanted to prepare a birthday surprise with me to repair your relationship. But I told
At my words, Alex’s expression stiffened for just a moment, but he still nodded.“Okay, Jenny,” he said, almost gently. “Your happiness is the most important thing to me.”The heavy weight that had been hanging over my heart finally eased a little at his promise.“But,” Alex said, holding my hand, “can you still go to this birthday party? Anna and I planned the whole thing together, and we’ve invited our friends. They’re waiting in the private room upstairs at the restaurant. Daniel has been looking forward to it for a long time, and he even made you a handmade gift… Even though today didn’t go as planned, I still hope you can have it, okay?”Looking into his expectant eyes, I finally agreed.However, after I freshened up and walked into the private room full of friends, I still hesitated a little.Deep down, I knew Anna could not possibly mean well.But Alex was obviously so eager to show me the surprise he had prepared for so long that he didn’t notice my unease at all. He impati
The amount of information in that single sentence was overwhelming. The customers who had been quietly watching suddenly burst into low, excited whispers.“I just heard that the girl who fell called the other woman her sister…” “So which one is that man’s wife?” “This family is a complete mess!” “Didn’t that little girl just say her mommy and—”I no longer had the energy to care about what anyone else thought.Watching Daniel appear right after that little girl, I finally saw the truth clearly.The person my husband and son had been secretly meeting behind my back was my estranged older sister—Anna.And I had never even known that my husband knew my sister, whom I hadn’t seen in years.In front of everyone, that strange little girl called my husband “Daddy.” Like she was protecting her mother from a bad woman, she angrily attacked me.Her big round eyes glared at me, filled with accusation and disgust.And all I could think was how ridiculous all of this was.I looked at my son,
In the end, the Ferrari stopped in front of a familiar restaurant.After I paid quickly and got out, I saw Alex holding Daniel’s hand and walking into the restaurant with a bright smile.I noticed that it was a place with a dress code.In a hurry, I took off my apron and threw it into a nearby trash can, straightened my clothes, and rushed after them.Because I was in such a hurry to chase after Alex, I didn’t notice a figure suddenly appearing in my path—“Ouch!”The woman I bumped into let out a soft cry and staggered, grabbing onto a waiter to steady herself.“Where did this reckless woman come from? Watch where you’re going! If you ruin my dress, you can’t afford to—Jenny?” The woman stared at me in surprise.I finally stopped and looked at her face clearly.“Anna?”The person I had bumped into was my own older sister— Anna Walsh.“No wonder a reckless woman like this would show up in such a high-class restaurant. So it’s you, Jenny. What are you doing here?” Anna looked at me
