Chapter 2

When I reached the door, I almost fainted from a sudden pain in my chest.

I leaned against the wall as I tried to get my bearings. I quickly pulled out some painkillers and swallowed a few to ease the pain.

Inside the ward, my mother accused me of being cold and indifferent.

She felt that I did not care about Diane.

However, I knew that Diane would feel unwell with me around.

That was her usual tactic in getting my parents’ attention.

However, she did not have to do that. From the beginning, my parents, my husband, and my son loved her even though she was a fraud.

As for me, my parents did not care about me.

They never looked for me. Hence, when I found them, they simply gave me a name starting with the letter D to match Diane’s name.

After I left the hospital in a daze, I took a taxi to the research lab where Diane was working.

I had already agreed to donate my body for their cryonics experiment.

When I was signing the agreement, the staff asked, “Ms. Bishop, are your parents and partner aware of your decision?”

I smiled and said softly, “They respect and support my decision.”

The staff said enviously, “That’s great! Your family must love you so much that they wish for you to be resurrected one day.”

Looking at her envious gaze, I felt as though I was truly loved by my parents and partner.

I smiled and said, “That’s right! Who wouldn’t love their own family?”

After I said that, I handed the agreement back to them.

After ensuring the arrangements were in place, I left the research lab and went home.

When I entered the house, I saw my belongings in the living room.

I frowned and looked at Mrs. Jane, Diane’s nanny, as she gave orders. Why was she here?

Like my parents, Mrs. Jane hated me because I was the real daughter of this family.

When she saw me, she smiled insincerely. “Diane is getting discharged today. Mr. Fred has asked me to take care of her and choose a room for her to rest.

“I saw that the master bedroom has the best one, so I’m picking that room for Diane’s recovery.

“The other rooms were occupied, so you have to stay in the basement.”

I said indifferently, “Alright.”

Mrs. Jane had not expected me to agree so readily. She paused.

She stared at me curiously and asked, “Are you not angry?”

I shook my head and walked toward the basement.

Mrs. Jane said in disdain, “It seems like you’ve finally learned your place. You should’ve been like this from the start.

“If so, your parents wouldn’t hate you so much.”

I did not respond. When I reached the basement, I could smell a musky odor.

The narrow space was filled with random things. There was only a small single bed. Half of the bed was filled with books.

I lay on top of the bed and fell asleep.

I was too tired, so I just wanted to get some rest…

However, my simple wish was not fulfilled.

After a while, someone woke me up abruptly. When I opened my eyes, I saw Fred’s panicked look.

His worried gaze immediately turned indifferent. He asked in a loud voice, “Why did you post about our marriage online?

“Do you know that a lot of people are cyberbullying Diane? Diane has just come out of her surgery. She’s weak right now.

“Because of this, she fell ill and fainted!

“I thought you had learnt your lesson. Turns out you’re just planning on taking revenge on us!”

I felt a splitting headache catching on.

I could not focus on his words from the intense pain. I said helplessly, “I didn’t do anything… If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at my phone.”

Fred yelled angrily, “Stop! The reporters admitted that you were the one who paid them to spread the news!

“How long do you plan to keep up this act? Come with me. Get on your knees and apologize to Diane!”
