My name was Natalia Granger. My husband, Andrew Lane, was a CEO, but he didn't love me or our son, Carl Lane. In order to spend time with his first love, Jennifer Zink, and her child, Jordan, Andrew would give one piece of candy to Carl before leaving. He promised he would return once Carl collected 100 candy wrappers. … Yet, when Carl finally gathered 100 candy wrappers, Andrew dumped him by the side of a highway instead. It was all because of another child's birthday party. Panicking, I searched everywhere for Carl. By the time I found him, he had become mute due to the trauma. However, Andrew only commented flippantly, "Jenny and Jordan didn't mean it. Can't you two be more magnanimous?" Eventually, Carl no longer became sad when Andrew left, nor did he hold out hope for Andrew's return. Instead, he simply wanted to return the candy wrappers to Andrew while also leaving a note that read, "Daddy, I don't want you to come back anymore, but could you return my voice to me?"

"Deceived you? That's a harsh word. I merely suggested that you invest in that company. It's not my fault they lost all your money. Don't tell me that you still don't know that investments come with risks at your age?"Jennifer's lips curled into a wide smile, her mockery obvious. The way she raised her chin slightly was akin to someone looking down at a defeated opponent in triumph.It had been so easy to get a lovestruck fool like Andrew to take the bait. One sentence from her had been enough for him to scorn his wife. What was even more hilarious was how a lie that couldn't be any more obvious had managed to make him abandon his biological son by the side of a highway.Even a woman with hardly any morals like her couldn't bring herself to respect a man like him. He was merely reaping what he had sown."Andrew, I bet you're being consumed by regret, aren't you? You gave up on such a great woman as Natalia and even abandoned your own son. "Instead, you prioritized someone else's

Andrew's heart was torn into pieces. He suddenly wondered whether this was what Carl and I felt when we saw him spending time with Jennifer and Jordan.His emotions were in turmoil—from fury to disappointment and, finally, to acceptance.As it turned out, Carl and I no longer needed him. Carl had already regained his voice, yet he refused to speak to Andrew.Andrew picked up the presents scattered across the ground and stacked them neatly by the door of my apartment.Knowing that he had lost both his wife and son, he left. Feeling exhausted and helpless, he returned to the empty home that now no longer held any traces of us.As he forlornly pushed open the door, he thought he saw a small figure darting toward him, an excited smile on the young boy's face."Daddy!"Andrew instantly crouched and opened his arms wide, ready to hug the small figure to him. But in the next second, the figure vanished, immediately causing his smile to freeze.It dawned on him that Carl would no longe

Andrew's clothes were wrinkled, and a dense layer of stubble dotted his chin. In his hands, he held several bags of different sizes.It appeared that he had bought quite a few gifts for Carl."Carl, did you miss me? Could you come hug your daddy?"With that said, he crouched and opened up his arms. However, when Carl remained unmoving, an awkward expression crossed Andrew's face before he laughed it off. Then, he started to pull out the gifts from the bags. "Carl, look. I've bought you lots of presents."One by one, he took the items out and placed them before Carl, worried that there would be none that Carl liked.Regardless, Carl merely watched him expressionlessly. He did not look delighted whatsoever."This is the smart watch you've always wanted," Andrew said. "I bought it for you."He eagerly ripped open the packaging and grabbed Carl's hand in an attempt to put the watch on his wrist for him.However, Carl calmly pulled his hand free before walking silently into the

I crouched down to stroke Carl's hair. "Be good now, Carl. We can't disturb Dr. Payton too often. He still has to help a lot of other kids who can't speak."Disappointment crossed his face. Just as he was about to comfort me, Shane spoke up with a smile. "Your mother is right. I can't teach you magic while I'm at work, but that doesn't mean I can't do it after that."At first, I thought that he was kind-hearted and didn't want Carl to be disappointed, which was why he said those words.Hence, imagine my surprise when I received a call from him after working hours. He asked me when we were free, as he wanted to teach Carl magic tricks.For him, we were just one of his patients at work. Yet, he still tried his best to fulfill such a small promise.…From that day forward, Shane and I became best friends, kindred spirits in a country far from our homeland. Carl also changed the way he addressed Shane, going from "Dr. Payton" to "Mr. Shane".It took us some time to get used to lif
