After giving my son, Cameron Spencer, one of my corneas, he had a memory distortion and confused me for his father's childhood sweetheart, Joanna Lister. Such dreadful news caused me to be in so much pain that I refused to wake up. However, during the time that I was semiconscious, I heard my son and my husband's conversation. "Dad, does this mean Joanna will keep me company in the future?" "Yes, it does. You've put on a great act, son!" My attending surgeon couldn't stand their heartlessness and said, "Mr. Spencer, your son’s eyes are fine, but you lied to Mrs. Spencer in order for her to donate her cornea for Ms. Lister. If Mrs. Spencer finds out, I'm afraid..." "There's nothing to be afraid of. She loves Cameron and me so much and she's an orphan as well. There's nowhere she could go after leaving us. Joanna's all alone in this city and she's almost gone blind. We can't waste any more time!" I lay on the bed as my hopeless tears soaked the pillow. All they cared about was Joanna. But what they didn't know was that I was dying due to the operation.

Chapter 1
1When I woke up, Jack Spencer, who was supposed to be by my bedside, had long disappeared.After enduring the sympathetic glances from the nearby medical staff and returning home alone, I saw Jack enjoying a romantic candlelight dinner with Joanna Lister.When he saw me return, Jack quickly stood up.“Honey, you’re back. Why didn’t you tell me you were being discharged? I would’ve come to pick you up. You’ve been through such a major surgery—it must’ve been so hard on you. I promise from now on, Cameron and I will take good care of you!”His gaze was as gentle as ever, but I suddenly felt completely drained.Beneath the mask he wore was nothing but fake affection.I ignored him and instead looked at Joanna, who sat there acting like the lady of the house.“Why is she here?”Jack cleared his throat and explained, “She’s here for Cameron of course. He only remembers Joanna now. The doctor also said the more they interact, the better it is for his recovery.”Just then, Cameron—m

2He was holding a rabbit doll in his hand—the very one I had once sewn for him, stitch by stitch.But now, the entire body of the rabbit had been maliciously cut up beyond recognition.With trembling hands, I looked at Cameron.Was this really the child I had nearly died giving birth to?But he hadn’t always been like this.He used to call me “Mom” so sweetly, and would even help me with housework like a grown-up.I didn’t know when everything began to change.He began to resent my increasingly haggard appearance from caring for him.He pointed at my nose and said, “You’re so ugly now, no wonder Dad doesn’t even want to come see you!”A sharp pain pierced my heart, as if someone had stabbed e with a dagger.Cameron held the doll and glared at me impatiently.“What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and fix it!”I looked deeply into his eyes and calmly told him, “Go ask Joanna to fix it for you.”With that, I walked toward the balcony, intending to get some new clothes.Bu

3To me, the artificial eye had always felt like it didn’t belong to me—it would throb with unbearable pain every few days.The doctor told me there was a special medication that might help stabilize my condition.Otherwise, if things continued like this, I wouldn’t live past six months.But I had long since become the dutiful housewife for love, and nearly all the financial power was in Jack’s hands.Yet I still didn’t want to die.So I picked up my phone and called him.But the line was always busy.Until the last time—he directly declined the call.I smiled and told the doctor, “Forget it.”When I left the hospital, my phone had run out of battery and turned itself off, and the sky had begun to pour with rain.Due to the heavy rain, my vision was limited with only one good eye.But I could still vaguely make out the father and son celebrating Joanna’s new life at a dessert shop.They smeared cream on each other’s faces, looking as happy as something out of a romantic dra

4After leaving the prepared divorce agreement behind, I began packing my things.I didn’t have much—besides what Joanna had already thrown away, the most important item was my mother’s urn.Just then, Joanna entered the room, her high heels clicking against the floor.With the Jack and Cameron out of the house, she no longer pretended to be gentle and kind.Instead, her face turned sharp and vicious.“Well, looks like the stray dog finally knows when to leave.”“Since you’re already going, how about I tell you a little secret?”She smiled and leaned close to my ear.“That cornea of yours... was actually given to me.”My fingers froze in place, and Joanna looked even more smug.“Surprised? Your husband and son teamed up to deceive you, all for me.”“To be honest, Laura, if I ended up like you, I’d have bashed my own head in already.”She tore open my deepest wound without mercy, and though I remained expressionless, my fingers were digging into my palm.Seeing that I wasn’

5After that fire, although I managed to survive, my body and the artificial eye suffered irreparable damage.I was severely injured and the doctor regretfully told me that I had less than a month to live.I nodded, then gave up on continuing treatment at the hospital.In my final days, I didn’t want to become an ICU patient with missing teeth and a bald head.So I bought a ticket and returned to the old house where I used to live with my mother.After so many years away, the place was overrun with weeds and cobwebs.But I found joy in cleaning it, determined to sweep every trace of filth from my life.The mountains were high, and the road was long—me and them, we would probably never see each other again.Only occasionally, during quiet moments, would I think of things from the past.In the year my mother and I were at our poorest, Jack had walked into my life.With the sunlight shining on him, I felt like he had imprinted his figure in my heart.We were both children from

6After arriving at the hospital, Jack's voice almost overturned the entire building."Less than a month left? How is that possible?""Her body was never suited for the corneal transplant, and now, because of the fire, her body and the artificial eye suffered irreparable damage—she doesn't have much time left."Upon hearing this, Jack immediately exploded."Nonsense! A bunch of quacks—you're blaming your own incompetence by saying my wife can't be saved? If you can’t save her, I’ll make sure this place goes to the ground!"His emotions were out of control, and not wanting to end up on tomorrow's news with him, I braced myself and walked out.When Jack saw me, he quickly helped me back to the hospital bed, speaking with feigned reproach."Why are you still running around when you’re in such a bad state? That quack was spouting nonsense—don’t believe a word. I’ve already scheduled an appointment with an expert from abroad. They'll be here in a few days. Don’t worry. I will cure yo

7While Jack and Cameron were away, an uninvited guest came to my ward.Joanna walked toward me step by step, holding her pregnant belly.Her gaze was full of disgust. “Laura, you really are hard to kill. Not even fire could take you down.”I was stunned. “You were the one who started the fire?”She smiled smugly. “So what if it was me? Let me tell you—I'm pregnant. The child is Jack’s.”“Okay.”Joanna stared at me, trying to find even the slightest flicker of emotion on my face.Finally, she found it.I frowned and said to her, “You're blocking my light. I’m trying to read.”Joanna immediately started cursing, “Laura, drop the act! You’re basically a dead woman—if you have any sense, you'd leave Jack right now!”I laughed and placed the stack of daily love letters Jack had written for me right in front of her.“Take a look. Who exactly is clinging onto whom?”Joanna ground her teeth so hard it made a sharp sound, and the next second, a vicious smile appeared on her face.

8When he saw me coming,Cameron ignored the blood dripping from his hand and tried to run toward me.But I took two steps back and avoided his embrace.Tears instantly rolled down Cameron’s face.People around us began to murmur in disapproval, “Oh my god, what a tragedy. Such a young child—heard he’s been bleeding himself every day in an attempt to help treat his mother.”“They say the woman is still insisting on divorce and doesn’t even want the child?”“Someone like her isn’t fit to be a mother. What a waste of such a good kid!”Hearing all the scolding around me, I turned and walked away.Cameron cried behind me, calling me “Mom” and begging me not to leave.But back when he locked me on the balcony, he hadn’t wavered all night.Just like I wouldn’t turn back for him now.For the first time, I took the initiative to call Jack.I wanted to ask him to stop Cameron from hurting himself.On the other end of the line, Jack sounded overjoyed, but his voice was wrapped in de

9Very soon, that so-called deep affection was exposed.Joanna posted a photo on social media of Jack proposing to her.The internet instantly exploded.In a flash, Jack’s image as a loving husband completely collapsed.“Wow, Oscar-level acting right here. I actually thought he truly loved his wife. What a joke.”“No seriously, if a man can be this cruel to his wife, imagine what kind of products his company sells to us. Tsk, tsk.”As things spiraled out of control, Joanna was actually very pleased.After the previous incident of framing me, she had been thoroughly neglected by Jack.But thanks to this trending topic, now everyone knew about her relationship with Jack.She even bought herself a bunch of jewelry to celebrate what she had achieved.When Jack woke up and heard the news, he was so furious he nearly passed out again.He stared at the overly dressed-up Joanna and cursed viciously, “You bitch! Why did you post those photos?”Joanna was stunned by the insult, but s
