Chapter 1

Mark Zimmer's shouts echoed through the empty hospital hallway, drawing countless curious stares.His son cried in his arms. His face was covered in patchy red rashes; it was awful to look at.I instinctively protected my daughter, Nora. Her condition was much better, with only a few red spots on her arm.Mark was furious. He pointed at my daughter and shouted with a trembling voice, "How dare you say she isn't my child, Summer?"Look at her eyes, and look at her nose! She looks exactly like me when I was a child! You did this on purpose! You gave birth to her and let her inherit your illness, all to get back at me!"I almost laughed from anger at his ridiculous logic."Are you stupid, Mark? Nora's eyes look like mine, and her nose looks like her dad's. What does that have anything to do with you?" I asked."Besides, it's only a seafood allergy, not some illness.""Seafood allergy?" he asked. He laughed, almost hysterically, like it was a huge joke."How dare you still lie to

I was so shocked by his shamelessness that I could not speak.Coco stepped in at the right moment to show her generosity."Yeah, Summer, you should let Mark bring the child for a checkup. Our family will find the best hospital. That's better than struggling on your own."You don't have to worry about money; we'll cover it. This is what Mark should do as a father," she said.Their back-and-forth statements made me look like a shameless mom asking for money.I looked at them coldly and said, "I'll say it again. Nora is not your child. She has a dad of her own. None of this has anything to do with the Zimmer family.""Her dad?" Mark asked mockingly.He laughed as if it were a joke."Who could that be? What kind of man would want a woman with defective genes like you?" he said mockingly.He judged me with contempt."Drop the act, Summer. I know you've had a hard time for the past five years. No one wants you, so you can only use my child to gain sympathy. Now, hand over my child.

The voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable authority.The chaotic crowd instantly fell silent.I turned and saw Lucian Lowe.He had a lab coat on and had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His gaze was sharp.He was my husband and also the director of the hospital, as well as the chief physician of the immunology department.When Nora saw him, it was as if she had seen her savior. She cried and reached out to him."Dad! Save me, Dad!" she cried.Lucian quickly walked over and gently pushed Mark away. Then, he shielded us.He did not look at Mark. He only crouched and softly wiped the tears from Nora's face."Don't cry, Nora. I'm here," he said to comfort her.He checked the rashes on her arm, then inspected her tongue coating. His expression softened."You're fine. It's only a mild allergy. I'll prescribe some lotion, and you'll be better soon," he said.Mark froze in place, staring hard at Lucian. His expression kept changing.His face showed shock, disbelief, and

"What?" Mark asked.He froze due to shock.Lorraine's knees weakened, and she almost collapsed; she was held up by the bodyguard beside her."Do you mean a genetic disease? That's impossible! The Zimmer family has had perfect genes for eight generations! It's impossible that we have a genetic disease!" Lorraine shouted.She pointed at me like a crazy woman."It was you! It must be you! You jinxed my grandson and passed the sickness onto him!" she said accusingly.I thought it was ridiculous.Lucian ignored her hysterical words. He only looked at Mark, who looked awful."I've seen a copy of the report from five years ago, Mr. Zimmer. The hereditary allergy gene stated is only a common genetic polymorphism in modern medical terms. It's completely different from a real hereditary disease," Lucian said.His gaze carried a trace of pity."If your family has no genetic issues, then the problem could only have come from your partner," he explained.Coco instantly paled. Her hands s

Lorraine was shocked.She never expected that the gentle-looking doctor would call the mayor.A respectful voice could be heard from the other end of the phone."Hello, Mr. Lowe! How can I help you?" he asked.Lucian replied calmly, "I ran into a little trouble at the Central Hospital. Someone is causing a scene here and disrupting order at the hospital.""What? Who would dare do that? Don't worry. I'll send someone right away to handle it!" the mayor said.Mark and Lorraine looked dreadful.They finally realized that the man before them was not someone they could mess with.Lucian hung up and looked at them indifferently."You have three minutes to leave. It's out of my control after that," he said, threateningly.Lorraine glared at me with a clenched jaw."Do you think you're so great because you found a rich husband? I'm warning you; we won't let this go!" she said."You're a jinx! You ruined my grandson, and I won't forgive you!" she scolded.I sneered and said, "Let's

The hospital hallway finally became quiet after the police took them away.I held Nora, feeling drained.Lucian gently caressed Nora on the head."Nora, let's get your medicine and then go home, okay?" he said.Nora nodded and whispered, "Dad, why did that man try to grab me?""Because he mistook you for someone else, sweetheart," he replied.He picked her up and said, "But it doesn't matter. I will always protect you and your mom."We were about to leave when I heard a familiar voice behind me."Summer Stone?" the person asked.I turned and saw my college classmate, Yuna Woode.She was in a nurse's uniform, so she clearly worked at the hospital."Yuna? Do you work here?" I asked.Yuna walked over, looking a little embarrassed. She said, "I was nearby just now, and I saw everything."She lowered her voice and told me, "Summer, actually, that genetic test report from five years ago…""What is it?" I asked.I had a bad feeling about that.Yuna glanced around to make sure

Chapter 7

I asked Lucian to use all of his connections.As the director of the Central Hospital, his network spread across the city.Soon, news about the Zimmer family heir abandoning his fiancée over a fake genetic report began to circulate. The upper class of Sea City knew about how his son was suffering from a genetic disease.The story also spread quickly with the testimony from Heath and related evidence attached.The Zimmer Group stock started to plummet.Their business partners began to question the integrity of the Zimmer family.The media also started to cover the incident.I received a call from Mark the next morning."I beg you, Summer. Please stop," he said.His voice was filled with despair."My company's stock has decreased 20 percent. My family will be ruined if this continues," he said.I sneered and asked, "Finally have a taste of your own medicine, Mark? Did you ever think about how I felt five years ago? Did you think about how my life would be ruined when you held

The scandal continued to spread, and the Zimmers' situation grew desperate.Companies that once worked with the Zimmer Group began to withdraw their investments.The reason was simple. No one wanted to cooperate with a family with problematic integrity.Coco Lynn's family was dragged into it as well.They had relied on their connection with the Zimmer family to make a living for themselves in Sea City.However, the Zimmer family could not protect themselves. So, the Lynn family was also on the verge of collapse.The worst part was that the condition of their son began to deteriorate.The boy suffered from constant fevers because of the immunodeficiency disorder. His body was also covered with worsening rashes.Coco cried every day. She held the child and rushed from hospital to hospital.However, the doctors could only shake their heads and tell her that the disease was too rare. So far, there was no effective treatment.They could only rely on medication, but the prognosis w

Three months later, the Zimmer Group officially declared bankruptcy.The once-dominant family that had ruled the business world in Sea City had fallen from grace.Mark and Coco were forced to leave their mansion and move into a shabby apartment.Lorraine, who was once a proud elite matron, became only another ordinary old woman.She spent her days sitting in the neighborhood garden, watching strangers pass by, clinging to the memories of her former glory.However, her greatest torment was still her grandson's illness.The child had grown gaunt, and he burned with fever every day.They could only watch as his body grew weaker with no money left for proper treatment.Mark finally learned a lesson that money could buy a lot of things, but not health, and certainly not peace of mind.He thought about me from five years ago.It was his turn to experience the pain I had gone through.That was karma.Coco wept every day while holding her dying child.She started to hate Mark, hat
