MasukFive years ago, my girlfriend, Stacie Garcia, got crippled in an attempt to save me. Out of guilt, I stayed by her side and took on all the hardest grunt work so that I could use all of the money I've earned on her. But when I'm in the middle of cleaning a Porsche's dealership, I witness Stacie flirting with another young man there. To my shock, she's even standing without any problems. Stacie tells the man in a generous manner, "Which car do you have your eye on? I'll buy you any car no matter how expensive it is as long as you like it!"

Still, she continued pleading for Oliver."Don't call the police… He didn't mean it, so please let him go…"Before I could even process the chaos, Maren rushed over to check on me. I could even hear her heart thundering against her ribs."I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you in time…"Alistair eagerly pulled me over. As a man who commanded the business world, he now broke down in tears. "I thought I was going to lose you again…"Everyone was crying, but I found myself smiling in joy, wrapped in all that overwhelming love.…After we all had given our statements, Maren took me to Stacie."I'm not thrilled about it, but she did save you, so think of it as a proper goodbye."I nodded and stepped into the ward, where Stacie was wrapped in thick bandages all over. Her face was sallow and drained, and it reminded me of the scene from five years ago, after the car crash.When she saw m
"That's my biological dad, so why on earth should I give him up for Oliver?" I asked.I had handed Stacie over to Oliver, but I'd never let go of one thing I'd dreamed of my entire life—my family."Besides, only by reclaiming my place can I find out what happened back then, and what my mom went through."No wonder Mom had always been weeping in my dreams. Had she suffered greatly?Stacie tried to plead with me again, but I shoved her out the door, feeling utterly disappointed in her. "What kind of spell did Oliver cast on you to make you this heartless and lose all sense of right and wrong?"At that critical moment, Maren appeared. She blocked the door and threatened to call the police if Stacie didn't leave.Although traces of lingering resentment flickered in Stacie's eyes, she had no choice but to slink away.Maren turned back to me, grinning triumphantly. "Just call my name whenever you need protection. I'm a professional, after all."I laughed and told her to stop messing
"This meal is on me," I said, looking at Maren cautiously. I was worried that she might take out Oliver's blatant disrespect on me.Instead, she let out a bright, genuine laugh and reached over to give me a gentle knock on my head. "Don't be scared. I'm here."I froze. That small, simple gesture suddenly sent my heart racing.When I was with Stacie, I lived on edge every day. She couldn't accept Oliver leaving or adjust to the wheelchair. She had lashed out and screamed at me over the slightest things or even a hint of discomfort.I spent years humbly enduring her tantrums and tolerating her outbursts. And even after surviving that period, I threw myself into work at part-time jobs where I had to walk on shells just to get by.But now, Maren looked at me with steady, unwavering eyes and told me that I didn't have to be afraid.When I blushed and looked away, she suddenly sighed. "Callum, do you not remember me at all?"When I blinked puzzledly, she began saying, "When you were t
Details of my identity were blurred and incomplete after so many years.I scoured the entire city, but only a private investigator named Maren Ginger was willing to take my case.Although she operated a small firm, she was experienced in relevant cases. She was professional and incredibly expensive, but I chose to trust her anyway.Armed with only my verbal account and the documents from my folder, she went to work. It only took her one week to uncover a secret from the orphanage that I'd never heard of in all my years growing up there."You weren't found on the side of the road; a woman specifically dropped you off at the door."That birth certificate was tucked in your swaddling clothes, along with this gold bracelet."She handed me a gold bracelet and explained that she had used a combination of high-priced bribes and legal intimidation to track down the former director of the orphanage and demand he cough it up.She straightened up, and her eyes gleamed with excitement as sh
