Sinopsis

Plot Twists

Male POV

Winning Back the Husband

Tragic Love

Melodramatic

All I've done is say something to my first love, whom I haven't met for many years. Since then, my wife, Linda Weber, demands that I report my whereabouts to her constantly. Otherwise, she won't hesitate to stop paying for our daughter, Lily Colt's medical bills. The first time happened when I was buying groceries. Linda told me to record a video of myself and tell the camera that I was her simp. The second time happened when I was accompanying Lily when she was undergoing a dialysis procedure. Linda demanded that I strip myself naked just so she could check if I was fooling around with other women in the same room. The third time happened when Lily finally got a kidney match. Linda demanded that I travel to the other end of the city just to buy the roasted sweet potatoes she had eaten on our first date together. By the time I have the roasted potatoes delivered to her with sweat drenching my form, I witness Linda giving the kidney source to her first love's mother just because I'm one minute later than the designated time. Only then do I realize that Linda has done all those things to me just so she can please James Harmon by pulling pranks on me purposefully.

Chapter 1
My wife, Linda Weber, who was a slight germaphobe, didn't hesitate to reach into the greasy paper bag and pull out the hot roasted sweet potato.She paid no attention to how my face was pale from the heat and that I was showing signs of heatstroke.Beside her, James Harmon chuckled. "Lin, I only casually mentioned that I wanted to eat that roasted sweet potato sold near our school, and you really made Skylar ride his bicycle all the way there."Linda peeled the first piece and gently brought it to James' lips. "If you want it, I'll make sure you get it."Try it and see if it still tastes the way you remember. I remember back when we were dating, this was your favorite."A dull ache spread through my heart.So, that was it. It was no wonder that, on our first date, she took me across half the city to that remote roasted sweet potato stand.Back then, I foolishly thought it was a one-of-a-kind romantic gesture she'd planned just for me.It turned out I was just reliving her past

The moment I made a move, the money for Lily's medical bills would disappear.When I thought of my daughter lying in that hospital bed, her body ravaged by illness into something unrecognizable, my anger and pride gave way to desperate begging."Lin, could you give me 300 dollars more each day? I want to switch Lily to a different imported medicine. The domestic one isn't working anymore. "She's in so much pain. It's just 300 dollars more. Could you—"Linda's voice rose sharply. "Skylar Colt, all you ever think about is money, money, and more money! Is 4000 dollars a day for treatment not enough? Now you want 300 more?"All this money, and you still want more? It's not your money, so you don't care, do you?"I dropped my head even lower, almost burying it in my chest.Ever since Lily was diagnosed with kidney failure, I had spent almost all my time at the hospital, taking her for tests and dialysis.I once had a decent job at a foreign company. However, Linda—suspicious that I

Doctors and nurses crowded around the bed, and monitors screeched out alarms."Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?" I asked urgently.The doctor glanced at me with his brows deeply furrowed."Her kidneys are in a very dangerous condition. We've administered medication, but the results aren't good. It's best if we switch to the imported medicine. Have you gotten the money together?"Those 300 dollars felt like a mountain on my chest, suffocating me.I dialed Linda's number again."What now? Didn't I tell you to get lost?" she snapped."Linda, Lily is dying! Please, please, just give me the money first! Just 300 dollars more! I'm begging you!" I said through sobs.My dignity had long been shattered.The other end remained silent for a moment. Those few seconds of silence gave me a flicker of hope. Maybe Linda still had some motherly love for Lily.Then, Linda's cold voice came through. "No. I told you it's not happening."In the background of the call, James' delighted sh

The line was silent for a few seconds before shrill curses erupted from it."Skylar, have you lost your damn mind? You've got guts now, huh? Let's see how long that lasts!""You can wait. I won't beg you," I shot back."Ha! Fine! I'll wait! I'll wait for you to come crawling back on your knees! Let's see where else you can get a single cent!"Linda clearly didn't believe me. She just thought I was throwing a tantrum and venting my powerless rage.Soon, my WhatsApp started blowing up with notifications.She sent photos of the things she'd bought for James—luxury clothes, shoes, and ties piled across the bed."See? This is how a man should live. Now, get on your knees in front of the door, slap yourself a hundred times, and say 'I'm sorry, dear,' a hundred times. Maybe then I'll consider buying you one of these things too."I let out a derisive snort and didn't reply.I opened another chat—the Crest family's butler."Find me the best divorce lawyer in the city."All these year

Everyone snapped their gazes to the doorway.A spirited, well-dressed elderly man stood there, flanked by a group of black-suited bodyguards.His expression was stormy, and his imposing presence instantly overwhelmed everyone Linda had brought.Linda opened her mouth, stammering out a few words. "A-Are you Mr. Crest? The wealthiest man in the city?"Grandfather's piercing gaze fell on her. "So, you do know who I am. But why are you humiliating my grandson? Why should a member of the Crest family kneel to you?"Linda froze, stunned as if struck by lightning. Her eyes went wide with disbelief as they darted back and forth between my grandfather and me."Skylar is your grandson? That's impossible! Isn't he an orphan?"She rushed at me to demand answers, but she was stopped by Grandfather's expressionless bodyguards.I glanced at the bodyguards. The next second, Linda and her bodyguards were grabbed and roughly dragged out of the room."You've gone through a lot, Skylar." Grandfat

"Did playing along with him require you unhesitatingly to give his mother the kidney that Lily had been waiting a full year for?" I continued questioning.With every word I spoke, Linda's face paled another shade."Linda, the money you've spent on James would have been enough to cover Lily's treatment for ten years."Lily doesn't need a mother as cold-hearted as you. Neither do I need a wife like you."Linda's eyes glistened with tears, and she reached for me again."Skylar, I promise that I'll treat you and Lily right from now on. Don't be so heartless. Give me one more chance, okay?"Her words were cut off by a piercing cry."Lin!"James rushed over and grabbed Linda's arm, sobbing uncontrollably."I think my mother is rejecting the kidney! The doctor says it's very bad! I don't know what to do! Will you come with me? Please?"Without hesitation, Linda let go of my sleeve. Just a moment ago, she was begging and pleading with me. Now, she turned toward James, her face etch

"No wonder he has a bad character. He's the bastard son of a mistress.""A bastard orphan. How disgusting!"The insults hurled at me grew increasingly vicious.Grandfather's blood pressure spiked. He was about to call someone to take down the trending news, but I stopped him."Grandfather, don't. Let them make a fuss. The louder they are, the better."I wanted Linda to reach cloud nine before making her plunge straight into hell.However, I never expected these incited netizens to go this crazy. They even caused trouble at Lily's hospital.When I got the call from the hospital and arrived at the ward, all I saw was chaos.Lily was gone.Through her tears, a nurse told me that self-proclaimed "justice seekers" had stormed in and taken Lily away.My mind went blank, and my vision darkened for a second. I could hardly stand upright.Just as I was about to call the police, another livestream notification popped up on my phone. It was Linda going live again.The stream was title

Time seemed to freeze.The next second, comments flooded the screen."Holy shit!! She hit the kid?""Is she insane? She slapped a kid in front of millions of people! She used a ton of force!""Call the police! Call the police now! This woman is a lunatic!""How could her birth mother do something like that?"James had seen the comments as well, so he quickly grabbed Linda's arm."Lin! Calm down! Lily is still young! She's just being naughty!"At that moment, Linda finally remembered she was still livestreaming. She stiffly forced out an ugly smile and said, "Yeah, she's learned bad habits from her father. I was just disciplining her."Before she finished speaking, the comments poured in once more."Look at the kid! She's coughing up blood!""Oh, my God! Call 911! Something's wrong!"On the screen, everyone could see a thin trickle of bright red blood seeping from the corner of Lily's pale lips.Her body went limp and began to tilt sideways before she lost consciousness com

Those "justice seekers" who once rallied behind Linda and cursed at me were now silent, and the tide of public opinion reversed in an instant.The hashtags "#LindaMarriageFraud" and "#LindaChildAbuse" went viral overnight.Under the post on Crest Group's official website, apologies poured in one after another."I'm sorry, Mr. Crest. We were deceived.""I was blinded. I actually believed that woman's lies. I'm sorry.""I'm an animal. I shouldn't have cyberbullied you. Please forgive me."My lawyer also called to tell me that those "concerned netizens" who had stormed the hospital and taken Lily had already turned themselves in to the police.They cried bitterly at the police station, claiming they only meant well.I scrolled through my phone expressionlessly, reading their pathetic apologies.They meant well? Their good intentions nearly killed my daughter.What use were these apologies?…The signing of the divorce papers went more smoothly than I had imagined.Linda's la
