Chapter 9

Penulis: Lynn Green
“You’re truly a skilled actor, Hadrian. You were so convincing that I nearly forgot what a cold-hearted villain you are.”

Hadrian sobbed, tears flowing down his face.

“I’m sorry… I really regret everything.”

“Your regret is worth nothing.” I picked up the paternity report for him and Agnes from the bedside table and placed it gently before him. “Take this and get lost. Serena wouldn’t want to see you when she wakes up.”

A month later, Serena was discharged from hospital. We moved to a ne

  • My Best Friend’s Heartless Daughter Swap   Chapter 10

    “There was a bouquet of wildflowers at her grave. They were a little wilted. Someone must have left them there a couple of days before.”I nodded and did not ask who had left the flowers there. Serena turned to me, piercing me with that clear gaze. “Mom, do you think I’m cruel? I knew who she was, but… I don’t think I could really feel sad for her for very long.”I grasped Serena’s hand, my fingertips going cold and numb. “I don’t think so. My Serena, you are a kind and loving person, but you also know how to protect yourself.“You know not to wallow in despair because of someone who could be your tormentor. You know not to exhaust yourself because of tragedy. This isn’t being cruel, it’s being clear-headed. You have a good sense of self-preservation.”Serena kept leaning against me. After a long time, she said, “I just think that… she’s really pitiful. But the person who caused it wasn’t me, and it wasn’t you.”“That’s right.”I smoothed my hand down her back and watched t

    “You’re truly a skilled actor, Hadrian. You were so convincing that I nearly forgot what a cold-hearted villain you are.”Hadrian sobbed, tears flowing down his face. “I’m sorry… I really regret everything.”“Your regret is worth nothing.” I picked up the paternity report for him and Agnes from the bedside table and placed it gently before him. “Take this and get lost. Serena wouldn’t want to see you when she wakes up.”…A month later, Serena was discharged from hospital. We moved to a new place. It was a small little villa far from the city center, with a garden filled with all sorts of plants and flowers. The company my father left me was put in the hands of experienced professionals, while I just maintained my shares and took my dividends. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with my daughter. Serena recovered very quickly. The transplant had been very successful, and her face became rosier every day. She could run and play in the garden like any other child. How

    Liza reached out toward Hadrian as if he was her final lifeline. “Say something, Hadrian! Save me! You can’t let them take me away!”Hadrian pressed his lips tightly together. He glanced at the police officers and then at me.In the end, he avoided Liza’s gaze by ducking his head. In that second, the last shred of hope in Liza’s eyes went out. She stopped fighting back and let the police officers handcuff her. She was then brought out of the ward. However, when she brushed past me, she glared at me with bloodshot eyes and said hoarsely, “I’ll haunt you even as a ghost, Rowena. I won’t let you off.”I met her gaze openly. I said calmly, “I’m not afraid of you now when you’re alive, Liza. What could you possibly do to me when you’re dead?”The door closed, blocking off her hate-filled gaze and last shrieks.Only me, an unconscious Serena, and a grey-faced Hadrian were left in the ward. After a long spell of silence, Hadrian spoke up. His tone was dry. “What in the world do

    There were other reports. These showed the results of the tests between Agnes and Liza, and Agnes and Hadrian. I put all three reports on the bedside table. Liza lunged over and picked up the report for her and Agnes. Her fingers were trembling so hard, and the paper creased from how hard she gripped it. Her gaze swept over all the technical terms and settled on the outcome.In the end, she collapsed into a heap on the floor. Hadrian also finished looking at his report. He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the wall. He was shaking minutely. “So… the girl who died on the operating table… was my daughter?”I raised an eyebrow. “That was your daughter. It was also Liza’s daughter. You were the ones who abandoned her.”Liza suddenly let out a pained howl. She slammed her head repeatedly on the floor. “My daughter! I killed her!”Hadrian opened his eyes. They were reddened and bloodshot. He looked at me. “You planned all this from the start. You got her

    As Liza stared at the blood type information, her body began to shake uncontrollably. “No, it’s impossible… It’s impossible.”She mumbled to herself as she lunged toward the end of the bed. She clutched the file. “A? How could it be A?”Hadrian’s face was deathly pale. His mouth opened and closed, but he made no sound. He was staring at the blood type information, too.I got up and straightened my clothes languidly. “Two people with O-type blood can’t have a child with A-type blood. Everyone knows this.”Liza looked up furiously, her eyes bloodshot. “What did you do? You switched out this information, right? How evil you are, Rowena!”I chuckled. “You watched them like a hawk all through the surgery. Bloodtyping is something that has to be done before any surgery. The system will have all the records. How was I supposed to tamper with that?”Liza reacted as if struck, and she stiffened in place. I walked to the window and said with my back to them, “Ten years ago, the

    Hadrian was frowning as well. His tone brooked no argument as he said, “Doctor, you must give the heart to Serena.”I looked at them both and took in the level of selfishness they were displaying. An epiphany dawned upon me.No matter what the circumstances were, Liza had raised Agnes for ten years, and she considered Liza her mother and had done so for an entire decade. Yet, Liza still chose to save the daughter she thought was hers: Serena. Even so, my heart would not soften. The suffering Agnes went through was the same suffering my own daughter had experienced in the previous timeline. At my silence, Liza came up and grabbed my sleeve. “Rowena, what are you waiting for? Save Serena! You have to save Serena! My girl is just a useless piece of trash. If she dies, what of it?”Liza’s voice echoed down the expansive hallway, attracting the strange looks of other visitors and the nursing staff alike. However, Liza ignored all this. There was deranged conviction on her face.
