After my husband's first love, Sydney Edwards, used me as a walking blood bank, I died in the run-down rental apartment my billionaire husband, Casper Hawthorne, had tossed me into like it was a blessing for me. Today was the third day since I had died. My six-year-old son, Adam, finally realized something was wrong. He had cut his finger while playing with his toys, yet I did not comfort him. He tore open a packet of crackers and raised one to my mouth to feed me, but I did not stop him. He lay in my arms, clutching my clothes and whispering for me. Still, I did not answer. Lost and panicking, he found my phone and called his father, Casper. "Dad, why is Mom still sleeping?" The man sent back a photo of himself having New Year's Eve dinner with Sydney and said in a cold voice, "She's just sleeping, she's not dead. Today is New Year's Eve. I'm busy. Tell that clueless mom of yours that when she's ready to admit she was wrong, she can come and look for me." After the call ended, Adam stood there frozen for a long time. He picked up the last biscuit in the rental apartment from the trash can, broke it in half, and held one piece to my mouth. "Mom, let's eat too."

"Ms. Sydney Edwards, you are suspected of being involved in child abuse and murder. Please come back to the station with me for the investigation," Captain Stone said.Sydney was stunned, and her eyes immediately turned red. "What are you talking about? I was just rehearsing a play with my daughter in the room. Those were all lines from the play. Did you mishear it?"Then, she looked at Casper in a panic and said tearfully, "Casper, please help me explain this to him. You know I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I dare to commit murder? There must be some sort of mistake."Casper felt sick to his stomach when he saw her put on the pitiful act. He had never realized that Sydney could act so well.She was nothing like Winnie.No, she wasn't even worthy of being compared to her.The hatred in Casper's eyes grew stronger when he remembered my face. "Sydney… You dare lie to me!"He reached out and fiercely choked Sydney, his voice so cold it chilled her to the bone. Syd

"I clearly told the doctor to only draw 400cc, there's no way he drew 2000cc." Casper's eyes were red as he asked in disbelief. "You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"Then he sneered and said to himself. "I get it, you're not the real police. You must be actors that Winnie hired. How much did she pay you? Tell me! How much did she pay you to pretend to be the police? How much?!"Captain Stone shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, that is the truth. Mr. Hawthorne, please come back to the station with us."After saying that, he took out a pair of handcuffs and was prepared to arrest Casper, but Casper still didn't believe it and resisted fiercely.However, Mr. Smith seemed to have remembered something, and his face turned deathly pale. "Don't tell me..."Casper paused, his eyes so red that they were almost bloodshot. "Mr. Smith, do you know something?"Captain Stone also immediately turned to the butler. "What do you know?"Mr. Smith bit his lip and expl

Adam hid in my arms in fear and asked me in disbelief, "Mommy, is she really Lily's biological mother?"Seeing the confusion in his eyes, I was also at a loss for words. But soon, I was even more surprised by what Sydney did.When she saw that Lily was too scared to say a word, her anger flared up again as she pinched the inside of Lily's thigh hard.As she pinched her, she said, "You useless witch! I've already gotten rid of Winnie and that worthless son of hers for so many days. Why haven't you managed to charm that idiot Casper?! Isn't that what you do best? Why did you fail this time?!"If you had really made Casper forget that kid, I wouldn't have been so scared like this. It's all your fault, you witch!"Sydney would pinch Lily firmly each time she said a sentence, as if she was venting all her frustrations on her. Meanwhile, Lily seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and she didn't dare to resist at all.She just lowered her head numbly, not even having the courage to

Casper lowered his eyes to look at Adam, who looked like he was just sleeping in his arms. He felt like there was now a vast emptiness in his heart. However, his rationale told him that hiding the cause of his son's death was the right choice.Sydney also quickly said, "Casper, Mr. Smith is right. You might not have meant it, but things have already come to this. We should hurry and hide Adam."Casper stared blankly at Sydney, his voice hoarse. "Sydney, I killed Adam, and now I'm hiding him. He'll never forgive me."A trace of impatience flashed in Sydney's eyes, but she quickly put on a gentle expression. "How could he not? Adam has always been a sensible boy. He'll understand how hard this is for you and won't be angry with you. Don't worry."My son pouted, his eyes full of disgust. "I'll never forgive him!"But Casper seemed to have found comfort in those empty words. "You're right, Adam definitely won't be angry with me."With Casper's agreement, Mr. Smith quickly moved Adam'

My mind went blank in an instant, and I hurried forward to shield my son. I wanted to question Casper—What right did he have to hit my son? Why must he believe everything Sydney said?But no one could see my rage.Adam looked at the man in disbelief, tears falling uncontrollably. "I didn't take he

Hearing what Casper said, Adam could only open his mouth as tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably. "Daddy..."Perhaps that word finally moved Casper. He frowned, the coldness in his eyes icier than the frigid snowstorm. "Alright, say it, then. What do you want this time? Money or a house?"A

Sydney turned her head to look at Casper, who was still oblivious to all this, and her anxiety relaxed slightly. When she turned her head around, only annoyance remained on her face. "Did that shameless mother of yours send you here? Didn't she tell you that this isn't your home anymore? Get lost, k

The woman on the bed still wasn't responding, but my son Adam was already used to it. He carefully placed the cracker by the pillow, then devoured his own half.He touched his stomach… He was still hungry.My son subconsciously glanced at the uneaten piece of cracker, then walked into the kitchen
