Adopted Son Ascends, Bestie Returns From the "Grave" のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

Helen suddenly sat up. There wasn't a hint of weakness in her voice as she pointed at me and yelled, "Are you even human? You kept calling me your best friend, yet you wouldn't donate blood for me or help raise my baby! What kind of friend does that?"I glanced at her sideways. "You look pretty fine to me. Maybe the hospital messed up the diagnosis."Realizing she'd just slipped up, she panicked for a moment before lying down on the bed with a pained expression, calling for the doctor.Chaos erupted around us, and I was shoved out of the room.A few minutes later, the nurse who had been working with Helen came out carrying Aidan.She shoved him into my arms firmly. "The patient just experienced a brief moment of clarity before passing. The baby's birth certificate is already processed, and your name is listed as the mother. Don't even think about ditching him. We have the right to call the cops."I nearly laughed out loud. What a blatant forced handover. I was the one who should

Helen immediately bristled. "Are you trying to say he's your son? With genes as poor as yours, there's no way you could have given birth to such an outstanding child. You just helped me raise him for a dozen years. Don't get so shameless as to think you're his real mom!"Before I could even respond, Aidan said coldly, "I already said that my mom died 18 years ago. Not just anyone can call themselves my mom. It's Ms. Sutton who raised me. She means more to me than my birth mother. If you keep talking trash, I'll have security escort you out."A warm rush bloomed inside me. Helen was right about one thing. Genetics was a major factor.Helen's genes were rotten. I had spent 18 years raising her son in my last life, but the moment Helen showed up, he didn't hesitate to abandon me. He had no gratitude for everything I'd done and was just a complete ingrate.Helen, stung by Aidan's words, spun around and shouted at me, "Melanie, you must have been badmouthing me in front of my son! You d

Helen panicked instantly and rushed over, questioning, "Then where's my child?"I brushed her off with disgust and motioned to my secretary. "Bring him in."A short, skinny young man walked in. He should have been 18 but looked no older than ten. As soon as he came in, he looked around with an innocent expression on his face.Helen stared in disbelief. "No way! There's no way this idiot is my son. Melanie, do you think I'd fall for some random fool you pulled out of nowhere?"I didn't bother arguing. Instead, I walked straight over to the young man and rolled up his sleeve. A red birthmark showed clearly on his small wrist."Familiar, isn't it?" I asked Helen.Her face turned pale, and she swayed unsteadily.Joe looked crushed. "Melanie, you're really heartless! You can choose not to raise him, but you can't just abuse him! He was perfectly healthy when he was born. Why would he become like this?"Startled by the commotion, Aidan Sutton opened his mouth wide and screamed.I ge
