Jenny POVOne hour later.Standing outside the hospital room, I felt a flicker of fear I hadn’t expected. A rush of unpleasant memories surged up all at once.My hand trembled slightly on the doorknob.Before I could steady myself, someone shoved me lightly from behind. I turned to see Knight wearing a look that clearly said, You’re not backing out now, are you?Why had this guy followed me here anyway?But strangely enough, the provocation helped. Something stubborn that had taken root in me years ago—the absolute refusal to look weak in front of my worst enemy—pushed the fear aside.I had never been the kind of person to run away from a fight. Not before. Not now.And this time, I was fighting for my husband and my son.I pushed the door open.Lisa was lying in the hospital bed. Alex sat beside her, carefully feeding her medicine. Daniel leaned over the edge of the bed, watching with wide, attentive eyes. Anna stood nearby, smiling as she arranged the flowers on the bedside table.

Jenny POVAnna bent down in a panic and picked up one of the scattered documents from the floor, her eyes scanning the page rapidly. In just a few seconds, the anger and arrogance on her face faded, replaced by a strained composure that barely concealed her unease.She clearly hadn’t expected me to produce this piece of evidence. Her lips trembled as she shot me a vicious glare, then made a move to tear the document in half.“Go ahead,” I said coolly. “I’ve already saved the original copy digitally.”Alex had been thrown into complete confusion by the sudden turn of events. First, he shot an irritated glare at Knight, who was still leaning casually against the doorframe as if enjoying the show. Then Alex strode forward, snatched the document from Anna’s hand, and demanded in a low growl, “What the hell is this? What are you two playing at?”His eyes dropped to the page. The deeper he read, the tighter his brows knit together.I remained where I was, calm on the surface, though I had al

Jenny POVAlex’s words were like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.I stood there alone, facing his merciless accusations and the smug look that had returned to Anna’s face. It felt as if an invisible hand had clenched tightly around my heart, squeezing until I could barely breathe.Instinctively, I fell silent.I simply stared at the man I had loved for so many years—the disappointment in his eyes, the unmistakable bias in the way he stood beside Anna. All that remained inside me was a bitter mixture of disbelief and sorrow.I had brought evidence because I wanted justice. I wanted to expose Anna’s hypocrisy.Yet he had so easily dismissed me as the unreasonable one.At that moment, the applause from the doorway cut through the suffocating stillness again. The crisp sound carried an unmistakable note of mockery, like a small but stubborn beam of light suddenly piercing the darkness surrounding me.Clap. Clap. Clap.Knight walked forward calmly, still applauding.“What a splend

Jenny POVAt that moment, the hospital room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing felt loud.Just then, Daniel suddenly climbed down from the bed. His small hands clutched the hem of his shirt as he spoke in a timid voice.“Mom… I want to go home.”My heart jolted.Only then did I realize—ever since I had stormed in and slapped Anna, the two children had been shrinking silently in the corner, like two forgotten porcelain dolls.Lisa was hiding under the blanket, only her eyes visible.And Daniel—my little lion—his face was so pale it was almost transparent. The bandage on the back of his hand had begun to seep a faint line of blood around the edges.He had been frightened by the argument.Of course he had.In front of him, I had always been gentle and patient. I had never been this aggressive, this sharp. Even the night Alex and I argued, I had deliberately restrained my emotions because the children were present.But Daniel wouldn’t understand.I could tolerate someone hurting

Jenny POVThe drive home felt like a long, silent punishment.Alex drove fast, but his eyes stayed fixed on the road ahead. He didn’t say a single word. In the rearview mirror, his jaw was clenched so tightly it looked painful, as if even breathing in my direction required effort.Daniel sat on my lap. He lasted less than ten minutes before tilting his head and falling asleep, his small hand unconsciously clutching the corner of my shirt, as though he were afraid that if he let go, I would disappear again.I looked down at his pale face, my chest tightening.Not because I felt wronged.Because silent treatment hurts more than shouting. At least when we argued, Alex would still look at me. Now, he couldn’t even be bothered to be angry.When we arrived home, Alex got out of the car without a word. He walked around to my side and gently lifted Daniel into his arms. His movements were careful, almost tender—yet he avoided any physical contact with me.I followed him upstairs and watched as

Jenny POVThe morning sunlight had just begun to seep through the gap in the curtains when a rapid knock on the door jolted me awake.My head was still throbbing faintly; the dizziness from last night hadn’t completely faded. I pushed myself up on the edge of the bed and heard Lisa’s awkward voice outside the door.“Mom, do we really have to come? I don’t want to…”Mom? What trick was Anna trying to pull now? She had actually followed me all the way to my house.Frowning, I got out of bed and opened the door. Anna was standing on the steps, one arm around Lisa while the other hand was raised impatiently to knock again. She was dressed plainly today, her makeup light, the corners of her eyes slightly red—like someone who had suffered greatly but was still trying to maintain dignity.I sneered. “What, yesterday’s humiliation wasn’t enough? Who are you performing this tragic drama for today?”Before I could finish speaking, a black Maybach slowly rolled to a stop in the driveway.The car

Jenny POVMy mind went completely blank. For a moment, I couldn’t understand what was happening in front of me.How had my mother become Alex’s mother?The mother-in-law who had always been dissatisfied with me—the one who hadn’t even attended our wedding?I stood there, frozen, my hands and feet turning cold, forgetting even to breathe.My memories uncontrollably drifted back seven years.Back then, I had just run away from home. I survived on student loans and three part-time jobs while studying desperately at Westhaven Law School. I couldn’t afford new clothes, so I often wore secondhand suits from thrift stores to class. I didn’t have time for dating, because every minute of my day had to be spent working to repay debts and preparing for exams.Even so, as I grew older, I became increasingly beautiful. Somehow, I ended up with countless suitors.I never paid attention to those rich boys. People thought I was an “ice queen,” but only I knew the truth—I understood perfectly that they

Jenny POVThe air seemed to freeze.Evelyn’s movement stalled halfway. Slowly, she removed her sunglasses. Her gaze lingered on Anna for a moment before sliding toward me, inch by inch. The expression in her eyes shifted—from confusion, to suspicion, and finally to a kind of stunned, almost fearful realization.“…What?” Her voice was soft, as if she couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing.Anna’s smile only grew gentler. She even stepped forward and lightly slipped her arm through Evelyn’s, her tone sickeningly sweet.“Mom, have you forgotten? Seven years ago, Jenny ran away from home without a word. She didn’t even come back when you and Dad divorced. We all thought she was dead… or that she simply didn’t want anything to do with this family anymore.”She paused, her gaze drifting to my pale face, the smile on her lips deepening.“And who would have guessed? After all those twists and turns, she ended up marrying your stepson, Alex. Isn’t that a little too much of a coincidence?”

Jenny POVAnna immediately stood up. “Alex, you’re here just in time,” she said gently. “Mom heard about the donor match and insisted on coming. I tried to stop her, but…”Alex didn’t respond.His gaze first fell on Anna, then shifted to Lisa. The little girl sat quietly beside her mother, clutching the hem of Anna’s dress with small, pale fingers. Her face looked much paler than before—nothing like the lively, fearless child who had been running around just days ago. Seeing Alex look at her, she gave him a shy, innocent smile, but didn’t run over this time. Perhaps her mother had warned her not to.Alex nodded slightly, the tension in his eyes easing for just a moment. Then his gaze turned toward me.I crouched down to straighten Daniel’s pajama collar, deliberately avoiding Alex’s eyes. But I could feel his gaze settle on the back of my neck—heavy, lingering, carrying an emotion I couldn’t quite read.Daniel fidgeted in my arms. He looked at me, then at his father.“So… whose mom is

Jenny POVAlex turned to Anna, his voice cool and restrained.“However, Jenny is the lady of this house. I expect you and Lisa to avoid any further conflict with Jenny and Daniel.”“Of course not.” Anna hurried to respond, her tone soft and obedient. “I adore Daniel, and I’ve always sincerely hoped to get along well with my sister.”She cast a quick glance at me before adding cautiously,“It’s just… I don’t know if Jenny is willing to tolerate me.”The syrupy falseness in her voice made my anger flare instantly. My chest tightened, and before I even realized it, my voice was trembling.“No, Alex. I don’t agree—”“You should.”He cut me off.His tone was calm but final. He didn’t even look at me. Instead, he bent down slightly toward Lisa, his voice suddenly gentle.“Lisa, sweetheart, you can stay here. If anything makes you uncomfortable or unhappy, tell Uncle. I’ll take care of it.”Only then did he look up. His gaze flickered toward me for a brief moment—guilty, evasive—before settli
