On April Fool’s Day, my CEO husband cut out my heart to save his childhood sweetheart's son. After the surgery, he tossed me into a cold rental apartment, where I died in agony. Three days after my death, my five-year-old daughter played in the room as usual. Walking by the sofa, she wrinkled her little nose and mumbled, "Mommy, there's a weird smell in here." She touched my face and murmured, "Mommy, are you pretending to be Snow White? Why are you so pale?" She shook my arm harder and raised her voice, "Mommy, it's my birthday today—get up and blow out the candles!" Confused, she picked up the phone and called her father. “Daddy, did I make Mommy mad? I lit the candles, but no matter how much I call her, she won’t wake up.” On the other end of the call, Patrick Hart’s voice was cold and impatient. “What could possibly be wrong with her? She’s just pretending to be asleep for sympathy. It’s Johnny’s birthday, I’m busy. Don’t bother me! Tell your melodramatic mother to stop playing her little tricks. I don't have time to humor her." My daughter removed the candle from her bun, pinched off a piece of the bun, and fed it to me. "Mommy, I made a secret wish… I really wish you could hold me again, just like before."

Ghost of a Broken Home Chapter 9
Just as I arrived, I overheard Jennifer speaking to Johnny, "Last time, I told you to frame that wench. I clearly said you needed to shed a little blood to make it look like a real heart condition, but you were too afraid of the pain."If I hadn’t been smart enough to bribe the doctor into exaggerating your illness, how else could we have gotten that woman to give up her heart for you? Do you really think Patrick would keep indulging you forever?"I’m warning you—if you don’t start listening to me, I won’t forgive you!"After saying this, she viciously kicked Johnny’s frail body, sending him crashing to the floor.Having vented her frustration, Jennifer casually adjusted her appearance. She pretended to be gentle, straightening the slightly askew birthday hat on Johnny’s head, and spoke in a sickeningly sweet tone, "Baby, when you see Daddy Patrick later, remember to be good. Make sure he doesn’t get too upset. Cling to him and remind him that today is your birthday. Ask him to sta

After speaking, I drifted toward the living room with Nina.In the living room, the police were questioning Patrick about me."Mr. Hart, after an in-depth investigation, we found that your wife's wounds were not properly stitched. The wounds were left exposed, and she died from the unbearable pain."I really don’t understand. As the wife of the powerful Hart Corporation’s head, how did she end up dead in a rundown rental apartment? Her cause of death was an untreated wound that led to infection and complications. Can you give us a reasonable explanation?"The officer's voice grew louder, filled with intense suspicion.Patrick’s face turned ashen at those words. I knew that expression too well—he must have remembered the ugly truth from the past."Officer, I divorced Winnie half a month ago though I can't disclose the specific reasons."But you must have made a mistake about the wound. I did ask Winnie to donate her heart, but I also arranged for an artificial heart to be install

Jennifer gently tried to persuade him as well, "Patrick, Lily is right. What’s done is done. Right now, we need to get through this first."Patrick stared blankly at Jennifer, his voice hoarse and broken as he said, "I caused Nina’s death. And now, like a coward, I’m trying to hide her away. She will never forgive me."A flicker of disgust flashed in Jennifer’s eyes, but she quickly suppressed it."Nina has always been an obedient and understanding child. Her love for you runs deep in her bones. She will surely understand that everything you’re doing is for the good of this family."Standing beside me, my daughter scrunched up her tiny face, full of disdain."After everything he’s done, he can forget about my forgiveness!"Desperate for any lifeline, Patrick latched onto Jennifer’s words. A trace of self-deceiving relief flickered in his eyes."Yes, you’re right. Nina has always been the most considerate toward me. She wouldn’t hold this against me."Hearing this, Lily immediat

His face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror and regret.Without hesitation, he shoved Jennifer aside and bolted toward the door.Jennifer gasped, nearly losing her balance. She wanted to ask what was happening, but before she could, Patrick had already sprinted out of the dining hall. Confusion and unease swirled in her heart as she hurried after him—Only to be met with a scene that shook her to the core.Patrick’s steps were frantic and unsteady as he staggered toward his daughter. He ripped off his jacket and wrapped it tightly around her small, motionless body which lay in a pool of blood. His tears streamed down, falling onto his daughter’s bloodstained face.At that moment, it was as if his entire world had collapsed."Mommy, is Daddy… crying for me?" She curled up in my arms, tilting her head up, eyes filled with confusion and innocence. "Mommy, does Daddy regret it? Why is he crying?"Her gaze, like a deep and endless spring, reflected my face with painful
