Chapter 1

Penulis: HF Era
As soon as I sent my location, a bodyguard slapped my phone out of my hand.

A man and a woman stood at the hotel entrance, staring at me with mocking smiles.

"Well, well. If it isn't the famous Finn Kirkland. What's wrong? Money can't save your mother now?"

Wendy Lowell is the only person in the world who can perform my mom's surgery.

Money has lost its value.

She hated my mom now. No amount of money could change that.

I clenched my fists. "You're the one who cheated, Wendy. My mom was just protecting me. Are you really going to stand by and watch her die?"

The hotel belonged to the Lowell family.

Within seconds, dozens of bodyguards surrounded me.

Several employees stood off to the side as they laughed at my miserable state.

"Dr. Lowell, aren't you the heir to the Lowell family? Since when do people like him get to beg you for treatment?"

"Seriously. He even laid a hand on your assistant. He got what he deserved."

I stared at Wendy as she nestled in Hayden Sterling's arms.

The sight took me back to the past. Wendy used to hold me the same way.

She promised that I would never have to worry about sickness, old age, or death. She was a miracle doctor. She would protect my entire family.

Yet now, my mom was fighting for her life on an operating table, and Wendy couldn't care less.

With every passing second, my mom was a step closer to death.

I was about to beg her to let me return to the hospital when my mom's attending physician came running over.

"Mr. Kirkland, please. Just apologize to Dr. Lowell. Your mother is about to suffocate!"

Wendy smirked.

I silently closed my eyes, then opened them again.

I took a deep breath before saying, "Wendy, I'm—"

"Don't apologize to me. The person you owe an apology to is Hayden," she spat, cutting me off before I could finish.

I stared at her in disbelief.

"What? You want me to apologize to the homewrecker?"

My mind went blank.

I treated Wendy with the utmost respect and pampered her beyond reason for five years.

After all, she was the one who stood by me when my career was at its lowest point ten years ago.

I still remember how her eyes sparkled as she looked at me that night. "Finn, I want to grow old with you."

Back then, I was building my business from nothing. She wasn't the world-famous doctor she was today, either.

We had struggled through some hard years together. That was why I'd always felt like I owed her.

"Apologize to Hayden, and I'll let your mother live."

I slowly lifted my head when I heard her words.

My lips trembled. "I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that about you."

Hayden finally laughed.

"People like you never learn until someone teaches you a lesson," he said, turning to Wendy. "Are you really going to let him off that easily? It makes sense, though. You gave me 30 million to invest back then. You probably stopped loving him a long time ago."

I widened my eyes. "30 million?"

    Just then, Hayden and Wendy showed up again.When Hayden saw the relief on my face, he let out a mocking smile. "What? Are you feeling pretty good now that your mother survived? Don't forget that you still have to obey me, Finn. Your mother's life is still in our hands."I looked up at him, my gaze chilly."Do you really think you're still in control?" I asked, a faint smile tugging at my lips. "Do you think you can keep hiding the money you've embezzled from the company and the tax fraud you've committed? Did you really think the truth about my dad's death would stay buried forever?"The color drained from his face."W-What are you talking about? Since when did I embezzle company funds and commit tax fraud? I didn't kill your father either! Stop making things up!""Making things up, huh?" I scoffed.I pulled out my phone and played a recording. "Why don't you listen for yourself? This is a call between you and your assistant. It clearly covers the embezzlement, the tax fraud, a

    Once we arrived at the hospital, Wendy finally went into the operating room.Hayden wasn't upset in the slightest. If anything, he looked even more pleased."What? Still not happy about it? Too bad. Your company belongs to me now. Everything you had is now mine. Even Wendy."He leaned closer. "If you're smart, you'll do exactly what I say. Otherwise, I'll have Wendy stop the surgery and let your mother die on that operating table.""You wouldn't dare!" I roared, glaring at him. "This is a warning, Hayden. Stay away from my mom. If anything happens to her, I'll come after you even if it costs me my life.""What wouldn't I dare do?"Hayden scoffed and pulled out his phone. "Look, I'll call Wendy right now and tell her to stop the surgery. You believe me, don't you?"I immediately grabbed his wrist and lowered his phone."I believe you. I'll do whatever you want. Just don't call her. Don't interfere with my mom's surgery."My fists clenched so tightly that my nails cut into my pa

    "Go on. Keep slamming your head against the floor," Hayden said, folding his arms and grinning. "Maybe Wendy will finally do something once I'm satisfied."Without hesitation, I continued slamming my forehead into the ground. Blood streamed down my face and blurred my vision, but I didn't stop.If it meant saving my mom, I would do anything.I would even throw myself off a cliff if I had to.Wendy crouched beside Hayden and brushed a speck of dust from his hand with a tissue."Stop playing around, Hayden. We've got a watch to buy," she cooed. "Finn can keep hurting himself if he wants to. Let's go."Hayden pouted theatrically. "Oh, come on, Wendy. I'm just curious how far he'll go. Just look at him throwing away every last bit of dignity he has for a dying old woman.""Dignity doesn't pay the bills."Wendy let out a contemptuous laugh. The look she gave me was filled with disdain."Didn't you build your company from nothing, Finn? Why are you begging us for mercy now? Just so

    The attending physician's voice struck me like lightning.The strength drained out of my body instantly. I collapsed into the pool of blood beneath me.My vision started to darken as my ears filled with a sharp ringing.The word "flatlined" echoed in my head."No… That's impossible," I muttered, my voice raw. "Please save her, Wendy. You have to save my mom!"I scrambled toward her like a madman and clutched her legs, tears and blood mixing on my face. "I'm begging you. I'll do whatever you want. Just give my mom another chance. Save her. She can't die. She just can't!"Wendy kicked at me in disgust. "Are you done yet? What does her dying have to do with me? She brought this on herself. She shouldn't have crossed Hayden."Hayden stomped on the back of my hand and ground it with a cruel laugh. "Just look at how pathetic you are, Finn. So what if your mother dies? It'll just be one less nuisance.""Shut up!" I screamed.My eyes burned red. I tried to get up, but Hayden kicked

    Wendy looked at me hesitantly, then walked over to the watch. She lowered her gaze. The worn back revealed the deep engraving: "WLFK."Her expression faltered, but Hayden noticed it and pulled her into his arms. "Wendy, my hand hurts. Look."Sure enough, Wendy's attention shifted to him. She took out some antiseptic and carefully dabbed it on his hand."You're so careless. What if you get a scar on your pretty hands?" she scolded.Wendy's face darkened as she turned back to me."You're just a spoiled rich kid, Finn. You're only doing this to get my sympathy," she spat. "You could never understand Hayden."When he was in college, your mom rejected his graduate application. She looked down on him for being an orphan! She deserves everything that's happening to her now."That was when I finally understood everything. She was doing all this to avenge Hayden.But that had nothing to do with my mom.Hayden was skipping classes, fighting, and causing trouble at school. His record was

    Hayden sneered. "Did you really think Wendy was penniless when you built your little startup back then?"I looked at Wendy in disbelief. My lips trembled."What… what does he mean by that?"Wendy's expression turned cold. She looked at me with disgust. "So what if I supported him a little? He was young. He doesn't have a family to back him up."I thought back to all the drinking at dinner parties, all the hospital visits I'd made, and all the surgeries I'd undergone.It was all proof of my efforts to give her a better life.I had always thought she was struggling and didn't want to burden me.But the truth was that she had already fallen for someone else, even going so far as to spend a fortune on one of Hayden's projects.I couldn't believe it. I had been pursuing Wendy for ten years, but she had already betrayed me nine years ago.I forced myself to focus. Saving my mom was the only thing that mattered.The doctor showed me a notification on his phone.Her oxygen levels ha
