"I'm sorry, Ms. Sinclair. Your daughter passed away at 1:13 a.m. on February 15. We tried, but we couldn't save her."Amelia Sinclair clutched a little stuffed rabbit in her hand, her face blank as she stared at the closed doors of the operating room. She had come to say her final goodbye to her daughter.Inside, Amelia held Evelyn Zephyr's frail hands on the cold, sterile bed. They were icy and drained of warmth. She smoothed Evelyn's hair back, remembering the weak little voice from just before they wheeled her into the emergency room."Mommy, isn't Uncle Chris here yet?"The uncle Evelyn spoke of was her biological father, Christopher Zephyr. He never allowed Evelyn to call him Daddy. Yet he let the son of his first love call him that without hesitation.Evelyn's greatest birthday wish was simple. She wanted to spend the day with her father, and she wanted him to let her call him Daddy.Her health had always been fragile. Last winter, she caught the flu while waiting outside

After the birthday banquet was over, Nathan was still bubbling with excitement in the car. For once, his mother hadn't been there to watch over him or stop him, so at the party he got to eat whatever he wanted.Also, Nicole had spoiled him endlessly. She was so much better than his mother.When the Maybach pulled up in front of the villa, Nathan pouted and reluctantly took Christopher's hand as he climbed out.He never wanted to go home after outings because his mother would always be there.But Nicole had said he needed to respect Amelia's rules if he wanted to have more fun next time. And Christopher had added that if he misbehaved, he wouldn't get to play with Nicole again.So, despite his reluctance, he returned home."Daddy, I want to play with Ms. Nikki again tomorrow. Don't let her go abroad, okay? Then Mommy won't bother me anymore."Christopher's voice was flat and unreadable. "She'll go abroad for a while, but when she returns, she won't leave again. She'll stay with

"From now on, if something happens with Nathan, please contact his father," Amelia said evenly. "I'm not his mother."The teacher frowned, assuming it was just another marital spat, a wife refusing to deal with her child out of anger."Mrs. Zephyr, his condition is serious. This isn't the time to argue. Please come right away.""I'll send you his father's number." With that, Amelia hung up without hesitation.She immediately forwarded Christopher's phone number to the teacher.Jasper had already risen from his seat the moment he saw Amelia answer the call, politely giving her space.When she finally looked up, he was standing by the window, looking down at the rain-soaked street below.She walked over to him. "Thanks for today.""Was that the end of the call?"Amelia nodded.Jasper studied her with quiet intensity. "Welcome back, Amelia."She gave a small smile. "You should pray my resume makes it through."The institute's standards were notoriously high, and she had been a

Christopher's cold, detached voice cut through the air, sharp and grating.Amelia turned and met his dark, unreadable eyes. He was still the same, blindly believing she and Evelyn were in the wrong, standing unconditionally on Nicole and Nathan's side.Christopher didn't wait for Amelia to speak. His gaze shifted to Nicole, and his cold, hard tone softened just slightly. "Let's go in and have breakfast."He didn't even glance at Evelyn. Without another word, he stepped into the hospital room with them and closed the door behind him.Amelia stared at the closed door, fists clenched so tightly her nails nearly dug into her palms. Christopher's indifference made her eyes grow even colder.How had she endured that kind of neglect for so many years? The thought was almost laughable. If she hadn't clung so desperately to getting a response from him and had left earlier with Evelyn, maybe her daughter wouldn't have faced such a tragedy in her last life."Mommy, I feel a lot better now.

Luke Carter stared at Amelia, his expression dripping with disdain. "I really don't get why she even came here. Is she just trying to make herself seen?"Christopher's gaze swept over Amelia coldly, but he didn't say a word.Compared to Nicole, who was being fawned over by everyone, Amelia's striking looks didn't help her at all. She seemed out of place, dull even, standing beside Nicole's radiant brilliance."I think I understand why you never want to go home. If I were you, I'd prefer Nikki too. Smart, capable, ambitious—she's better at everything than Amelia."She just sits at home spending your money and does nothing else."Luke had always been part of Christopher's circle, and ever since their marriage, he'd looked down on Amelia. She was a scheming woman who wormed her way into a man's bed, so how good could she really be?And now she had shamelessly chased Christopher all the way here. It was utterly absurd."What's she standing there watching the interview for? Like sh
