Chapter 1

I stared at the message on my phone, frozen in place.Jealousy and bitterness surged over me like a tidal wave, swallowing me whole.For some reason, my mind drifted back to the day I was first brought home.Back then, I stood awkwardly in the villa wearing dull, worn-out clothes that made me look completely out of place.Angela Miller, meanwhile, was dressed in an elegant little dress. There was not the slightest trace of hostility in her eyes.Instead, she walked over and took my hand warmly."Cassidy, we're family now."My parents looked at me with guilt written all over their faces as they pulled me down to sit beside them."Cassidy, we're sorry. We failed you all these years, but we'll make it up to you.""We've already arranged marriage prospects for both you and Angela. Take a look and see which family you prefer."Compared to spending my whole life struggling as an ordinary worker, what was so terrible about an arranged marriage?I agreed without much thought.A few

I looked up to see Angela standing there in a loose maternity dress.One hand rested protectively over her stomach, while the other was tightly held by Gary.Back then, Gary had treated Angela with cold disdain, acting like he was above everyone else.But now, his eyes were full of tenderness."Slow down. Don't rush around like that. What if you bump into something?"Angela smiled and lightly patted his hand."I'm fine. It's not like I'm that fragile."Then she turned toward me, concern flickering in her eyes."Cassidy, what are you doing at the hospital? Another checkup?"I quickly hid the test tube report behind my back and answered flatly."Yeah. Just finished."At that moment, my parents walked out from a nearby consultation room.The moment they saw me, the smiles on their faces froze briefly.Then their attention immediately shifted back to Angela."Angela, you're pregnant with your second child now. You have to be careful about everything."Gary quickly chimed in,

I stumbled back from the shove and quickly tried to explain myself."You've got the wrong idea. I'm just here for a check-up. Your baby looked adorable, so I took an extra glance, that's all."The woman clutched her child tighter, her expression still full of hostility."You're a patient? And how am I supposed to know you're not pretending? What if you've got some contagious disease and pass it to my baby?""I don't!"My voice shook with panic."Oh really? Then show me your medical report."She kept pressing closer, reaching for the papers in my hand.Instinctively, I hid them behind my back, hesitation flooding my chest.The words test tube report printed on the document felt like a thorn lodged in my heart. I did not want anyone seeing it.Especially not in a humiliating situation like this. I did not want it turned into some joke for strangers to laugh at.However, the more I tried to avoid her, the more convinced she became that something was wrong with me."What's the

By the time I got home, Alex was already waiting in the living room.The moment he saw how pale I looked, he hurried over to support me."You look terrible. Are you feeling sick somewhere?"It's my fault. I've been too busy with work lately and haven't spent enough time with you."I forced down the turmoil inside me, shook my head, and managed a weak smile."I'm fine. Just a little tired. The IVF procedure went smoothly. The doctor said I should come back in a week for another check-up and see how things look."Alex let out a relieved breath and helped me sit down."That's good. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter what happens, I'll be here with you."A dull ache rose in my chest, but I didn't dare tell him what I had overheard at the hospital.Over the next few days, while recovering physically, I couldn't stop replaying the past in my mind.However, the more I thought about it, the more wrong everything felt.Angela's concern over my attempts to get pregnant

I held my phone in one hand, my tone calm and indifferent."I'm not trying for a baby anymore."The moment the words left my mouth, Angela's voice shot up into a sharp screech."What did you just say? Cassidy, are you crazy? How can you stop trying?"I leaned back against the sofa and let out a tired sigh."I can't get pregnant anyway. All this effort is just torture for nothing. I'd rather live my own life properly."Before I could finish, she cut me off in panic."No! Absolutely not!""How could you do this to the Lester family? How can you be so selfish?"I let out a small laugh."Whether I get pregnant or not is the Lester family's problem. Why are you so anxious about it?"Angela paused for a second before quickly changing her tone."I'm saying this for your own good!"If you keep trying, you'll get pregnant eventually. Don't give up now!"I interrupted her, my voice turning colder."You should focus on resting at home and taking care of your pregnancy. Stop worryin

I stood at the doorway, watching the scene unfold without the slightest trace of sympathy in my eyes.My mother had rushed over as well and quickly stepped in to smooth things over."Mrs. Cardone, Gary, please don't be upset."Angela's always been healthy. This was just an accident. She'll take good care of herself and recover properly."Mrs. Cardone shot my mother a sideways glance, her expression full of contempt."If she hadn't at least been able to get pregnant, I would've told Gary to divorce her long ago."And now she can't even keep the baby. Completely useless."My mother's face alternated between red and pale, but she didn't dare argue back. All she could do was force an awkward smile.The moment Angela saw me, her eyes lit up like she had spotted a lifeline."Cassidy, you absolutely can't be careless like me."If you're trying for a baby, you have to stay committed. Don't give up halfway."She deliberately shifted the topic onto me.After all, as long as I kept de

My heart jolted."Is this why I could never get pregnant, while Angela kept getting pregnant so easily?""Exactly."The Daoist priest nodded, his expression grave."This kind of dark ritual secretly transfers one woman's ability to bear children onto another. Ms. Miller, you were naturally very fertile to begin with. Once you drank it, your fertility aura was absorbed by the Spirit-Gathering Herb and quietly redirected elsewhere."Everything suddenly clicked into place, and anger surged through me."No wonder she kept pressuring me to try for a baby, even encouraging me to do IVF."Master, is there any way to break this curse?"The priest looked at me, his tone softening slightly."Ms. Miller, there's no need to panic. You've already started breaking it."I froze, staring at him in confusion."But... I haven't done anything."The priest smiled."That is precisely the key."This fertility-transfer ritual only works when both sides remain connected. As long as you devote yo

The moment the call ended, Alex and I exchanged a glance."It's time to put an end to all of this."The second we got off the plane, we drove straight to the hospital.The ward was deathly quiet.Angela lay on the bed, her face pale as paper. Her eyes were hollow, her hair a tangled mess. The pampered, elegant woman she used to be was completely gone.The moment she saw me walk in, she snapped her head toward me and stared."Cassidy... did you know all along?"Since she had already said it outright, I saw no reason to keep pretending.I raised an eyebrow and answered bluntly."So what if I did? The moment you started plotting against me, you should've known this day would come."You ended up like this because of your own greed."Angela suddenly screamed and struggled to sit up, only for the IV tube to yank painfully at her arm."It's all because of you! You ruined everything!"You deliberately refused to get pregnant. You killed my son, and now my daughter's dying too!"I

Gary bent down to pick up the document.It was a paternity test report.His expression darkened instantly as he flipped through the pages. The further he read, the uglier his face became, until the oppressive tension around him was almost suffocating.In the end, he slammed the papers straight into Angela's face."Angela, you b*tch!"His roar shook the entire hospital room."How dare you lie to me? Not one of those children belongs to the Cardone family! Did you really think you could fool me like an idiot?"Angela froze, disbelief written all over her face."That's impossible! It has to be a mistake! The results are fake!"I let out a cold laugh."This hospital is partially owned by the Cardone family. Do you really think the paternity test could be fake?"Gary was trembling with rage. He grabbed Angela by the collar and snarled through gritted teeth."I'll kill you, you lying b*tch!"The slap landed hard across her face, the sharp crack echoing through the room."My fam
