Chapter 1

I signed Annabelle's death declaration form two hours later and helped the doctor wheel her body into the morgue.As late as it was, Gabriel gave me a call just then. The sound of loud music filled my ears the moment the call went through. He seemed to be in a good mood as he asked loudly, "What's with all the calls, Rhea? Does Annabelle miss me already?"I ground my teeth and cut him off with an angry yell. "Why did you leave halfway through Annabelle's heart surgery? You promised me you would make sure Annabelle got a new chance at life, Gabriel Turner!"Gabriel grew silent for several seconds over the call.He then said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm sorry, Rhea. I'm at fault for leaving Annabelle there, but I couldn't delay my leave as Suzanne's son was in critical condition. Don't worry, I've already gotten a new heart donor for Annabelle. We'll arrange for her surgery in two days…"Two days?Did Gabriel even remember how he'd abandoned Annabelle on the operating table with her

Chapter 2

The funeral attendees who knew Gabriel were all shocked that he wasn't present. Gabriel was known for loving his daughter dearly. They called his number, but only I knew that he'd never answer any of these calls.Sure enough, Gabriel didn't once turn up at the funeral, even after it came to an end.I held back the sorrow in my heart and held Annabelle's cold, lifeless hand one last time.Maybe it was a good thing that Gabriel wasn't here to interrupt Annabelle's funeral. He was a heartless, good-for-nothing monster, after all…Right before Annabelle was laid to rest in the ground, a cemetery staff member suddenly ran over to me. He looked incredibly upset as he clutched my hand and said in a trembling voice, "Something bad's happened, Ms. Vaughn! Someone is causing trouble at the plot you chose for your daughter's burial!"It felt like a jolt of lightning had struck me. I immediately stumbled over to the cemetery plot. The moment I arrived, I saw Suzanne standing there, gestur

Chapter 3

"Where is your humanity? Neither you nor I can utilize this burial plot right now, so what's wrong with giving it to Suzanne?" Gabriel yelled.Unable to suppress my rage any longer, I grabbed him by the collar and screamed, "Because I reserved this plot for Anna! Your daughter Annabelle has died! She died on the operating table because you abandoned her halfway through her surgery! How could you be so heartless, Gabriel Turner?"The cacophonous atmosphere of the cemetery fell silent after I yelled that to Gabriel's face.Gabriel turned to look at the burial plot in a daze. However, he quickly composed himself and even sneered at me."You have taken your lies to a new low. I've only left home for two days, and you're using our daughter's alleged death to scare me?"Do you take me for a fool, Rhea? Robert was still talking to Anna last night, yet you're telling me Anna's already dead? Can you please use some logic before coming up with your lies? "Forget it, I don't want to waste

Chapter 4

Gabriel returned home late that night, utterly exhausted. He hadn't wanted to at first, but for some reason, he'd been feeling weird after seeing Rhea's behavior today.Gabriel opened the door, saying. "I'm home, Rhea."That uneasy feeling in his chest grew stronger as he saw that the room was pitch black. "Rhea?"Rhea wasn't in their bedroom. Even her clothes in the wardrobe had disappeared too, so where had she gone?Gabriel went to the living room with furrowed brows. Only then did he notice a printed obituary on the living room shelf."In loving memory of Annabelle Turner…" He flung the obituary aside. "Bullshit!"Rhea hadn't had enough, had she?He angrily took out his phone and called Rhea's number. What greeted him was a flat tone from the other end of the call.Gabriel then sent her a text message. He was stunned when he saw the little red exclamation mark beside his message. His deep rage came next.Had Rhea actually blocked him? All because he was going to look aft

Chapter 5

Suzanne was stunned upon hearing my words.Meanwhile, Gabriel leapt off the stage and ran over to grab me by the collar."What is this bullshit that you're saying? Anna will be here soon, you bitch! Once Anna's here, she'll personally tell me that she loves me!" he yelled hysterically at me.Countless camera flashes, directed right at the stage, lit up the room.Gabriel shook me violently, an expression of sheer distress on his face. "I want to see Anna right now! Hurry up and call her! I want to speak to my daughter right now!"A helicopter's droning immediately rang out from above us the moment he finished speaking.…Seconds later, Dad arrived with an urn in his hands. He said, "Your beloved daughter is here."Gabriel slowly looked at the urn in Dad's hands. He reached out to touch it but quickly withdrew his hand. In displeasure, he commented, "Dad, you're Anna's grandfather. Even if you want to prank me, it still wouldn't be appropriate to make light of Anna's life. Don'

Chapter 6

Gabriel grew frantic. He hurried over, gazing at the urn as he addressed Dad in a trembling voice."You accused me of killing Anna, Dad. But Rhea sent me a video of Anna yesterday. Robby even said he'd chatted with Anna the day before!"I looked at Gabriel before opening up the text conversation I had with him yesterday. Then, I shoved it in his face. "Read carefully and tell me when this video was dated!"We were approaching the end of spring now. However, Anna was still in her winter clothes. He would've noticed this had he paid more attention to the video. Heck, there was a possibility that he did not click on the video and watch it.Gabriel's eyes widened as he stared at the video. His face turned deathly pale. Sensing something was gravely wrong, he swiftly turned and grabbed Robert's arm."Didn't you tell me you chatted with Anna two nights ago? Were you lying to me?" Gabriel snapped.Robert instantly burst into tears, frightened by Gabriel's harsh tone. Suzanne quickly w

Gabriel was focused on the surgery for some time in the video before a ringtone abruptly interrupted him. He continued performing the surgery while giving Tyler instructions."Check who the caller is. If it's Rhea, you can just ignore her…"Tyler glanced at the caller ID on Gabriel's phone screen before saying quietly, "It's Ms. Byron, sir…"Before Tyler could finish speaking, Gabriel set his scalpel down and snapped, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and answer it then!"Tyler glanced at Annabelle on the operating table. He hesitated briefly before answering the call.Suzanne sounded like she'd been sobbing as she spoke through the phone. "Gabriel, are you sure Robby was misdiagnosed? I'm still really worried. "Robby kept on saying he felt unwell when he woke up earlier today. Why don't you come over and take a look at him…""Don't worry, Suzanne. I'm sure I didn't read the report wrongly. Robby is healthy as a horse…""Why are you being so cruel, Gabriel? Do you not care a

Chapter 8

Only 30 seconds had passed by the time Tyler returned with a syringe of anesthesia. However, Annabelle's blood had drenched the operating table.What followed was footage of him stumbling out of the room to call me over.The duration of the video was less than half an hour. It meant that The entire video footage was less than half an hour. This meant that Dr. Gabriel Turner—known publicly for being an incredibly loving father to his daughter—had only been by her side for less than half an hour when she was in critical condition.He had abandoned his own daughter—all because Suzanne, one of his students, had asked him to do so in a phone call.I was trembling with rage after the video ended. However, I knew that there was something more important to complete right now, hence I composed myself and switched the phone off.Ignoring Gabriel, whose face was as pale as a sheet, I turned to address the media reporters."I know Gabriel hired every single one of you to see my family emba

Chapter 9

Suzanne was deeply frightened by all the rage directed at her. She fell to her knees while gazing at Annabelle's urn, repeatedly apologizing while her legs trembled beneath her."I'm so sorry, Anna. It's all my fault. Please forgive me. Please don't blame me for what happened—your father is the one at fault. He's a heartless man and didn't deserve you…"I only called your father. I swear, I didn't force him to leave. He's the one who insisted on coming over. He's also the one who took away that heart from you. Please forgive me, Anna…"You can also blame my son, Robert, too. He lied to your father…"Suzanne's words shocked everyone present. She had gladly tossed her child to the wolves to evade responsibility.Gabriel glared at Suzanne, his rage overcoming him. "You fucking whore! You're the reason Anna is dead! You seduced me and made me lose my daughter, you shameless bitch! Go to fucking hell!"He ran over to her and began attacking her with all his might.Suzanne screamed an
