Chapter 1

I was in the bathroom when Ruth Lister, my wife, suddenly called me. "Flynn Youngblood! Why aren't you here yet? They've just taken Tyler into surgery. Where the hell are you?""I'm still at home," I replied flatly.Ruth immediately lost her temper. "What are you still doing at home at this hour? Get here this instant!"I calmly hung up on her and stared blankly into the mirror.It had been exactly the same in my past life. I had been worried sick when I learned of my son Tyler Youngblood's illness. Ruth pressured me to donate a kidney to Tyler, which I promptly agreed to.In the end, my health deteriorated after the surgery, causing me to ultimately die of kidney failure.I couldn't help but wonder why Ruth didn't step up to donate her kidney in my past life, even though she was Tyler's mother. I was naturally prone to allergies and was far from the ideal match. Ruth was adamant about it, while Tyler kept pleading with me through his tears. I eventually agreed to the kidney d

Jacob looked pale, his panic evidently genuine.Ruth grabbed me as well, yelling, "I'm begging you, Flynn. Please save Tyler!"In that instant, the scene was filled with nonstop crying and shouting, drawing everyone's attention as they pointed and whispered.I sighed and pinched my thigh, my eyes turning bloodshot. "It's not that I don't want to help. I simply can't. I mean, you've seen my medical report. What if I die on the operating table?"Demi practically jumped out of her skin with rage. "He's your biological son, Flynn! How can you be so utterly heartless as a father?"I rolled my eyes at Demi and asked, "Why can't Ruth step in when she's Tyler's mother? I already had breakfast earlier, so if you force me into that OR, you're basically asking for me to die on the operating table."Backed into the corner by my remarks, Demi instantly retorted, "Who cares if you die? You're not half as important as my daughter and my grandson!"She suddenly realized what she had just blurte

I stayed silent, just sitting there quietly and watching Ruth, Demi, and the others put on their show, offering only a calm smile in response.Jacob stepped forward at that moment, clutching my hand. "I'm begging you, Flynn. Please save Tyler! He can't survive without you!"I yanked my hand away. "You can save him yourselves if you want to. Either way, count me out!"Tyler stared at me in disbelief. "What are you saying, Dad? Why won't you save me? I'm your son, Dad! How can you not save me?""I'm not the only one responsible for you, Tyler. Your mother is standing right there," I said with a calm smile. I then turned to Ruth and added, "I'm not going to save Tyler today, Ruth. You'll have to do it yourself!"I then straightened my clothes and said, "I'll be heading off now if there's nothing else."Ruth barked, "You'd better hold it right there! Have you completely lost your mind, Flynn, or are you having an affair? He's your own flesh and blood! How could you just let him die?

I was stunned to find out that Tyler was dead. I sprang to my feet and walked out, only to be met by a large hand swinging directly at my face. It was Demi trying to hit me.I dodged to the side as she lunged to strike me. She lost her balance from the momentum and fell to the floor, crying out in pain."How dare you do this to your mother-in-law!" Demi shrieked. "How can you be so cruel, Flynn! You killed your own son, and now you're assaulting an old woman like me! You're a subhuman piece of trash!"Ruth took in the scene and yelled furiously, "Mom!"She then glared at me with bloodshot eyes, her face twisted in fury, as though I had just committed some unforgivable, monstrous crime. She roared, "How dare you dodge her, Flynn!""Why wouldn't I dodge? Did you honestly expect me to just stand there and let her beat me up the moment she walked in here?"Jacob rushed over to help Demi, who immediately broke down crying. "You're truly a monster! Tyler is dead! He's only 12 years old

I snapped, "You're out for good once you cheat, Ruth—especially since you and Jacob have been in on this together for so long! I'll never forgive you! I want a divorce, Ruth!"I then yelled toward the surrounding people, "Where are the security guards? Get these people thrown out of here right now!"It was then that the security guards rushed over and dragged Ruth and the others out of the building.Ruth refused to back down, screaming over her shoulder as she was dragged away. "You left Tyler to die, Flynn! I'm not letting this go!""Your smear tactics won't work on me, Ruth!" I tapped my phone screen, sending her a photo as I held it up. Her eyes darted around in terror. I wasn't about to sit back and let them ruin my reputation while she walked away clean. I was going to make her pay for what she did.I filled Mr. Livingston in on what had happened once they were gone, leaving him utterly shocked. "I'll be taking a three-day leave of absence, Mr. Livingston," I said. "You c

I asked, "If I go through with a kidney donation, will it cause my health to rapidly decline and lead to fatal kidney failure?"Upon hearing that, the doctor was briefly stunned. "If you donate a kidney, there will be an impact. After all, you are missing an organ, so it is certain that the body will sustain some damage. "It, however, wouldn't be so severe as to cause kidney failure. That usually only happens due to genetic factors or if you contract uremia. If neither of those apply, you'd have to look at medication side effects."I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat after hearing that. I knew exactly what happened if medications were the cause. I was on a strict medication regimen in my past life after the transplant, and Ruth was the one who handled it daily. She had even sourced some traditional herbal medicine, insisting on brewing the medicine herself.I couldn't help but feel my blood run cold after realizing that I had ingested so much of her homemade concoction

Chapter 7

Those present stared at me with utter contempt, as if I were the most vile, unforgivable villain alive.I had reached out to an influencer friend of mine who had millions of followers online. I initially wanted to post the evidence myself, but I knew I didn't have the reach or influence to make an impact. I was a high-ranking executive in the company, but since I didn't use social media much, hardly anyone would have seen it if I had posted it. It would be a completely different story if it were my influencer friend who did it, though."Your true colors have finally been exposed, Ruth! I actually contacted the police before even coming here. You had an affair with Jacob 12 years ago shortly after giving birth. Then, you ended up pregnant with his child, so you decided to switch our children. "You forced my son to spend more than ten years in the countryside, living a miserable life and starving himself to skin and bones, while the love child you had with this lover of yours was l

Chapter 8

Now that the scandal had resurfaced, the crowd connected the dots to uncover the full truth. Soon, the internet was flooded with news of what I had been through."Oh, my God! That poor man truly had it rough! I really thought he was heartless before this!""I can't believe the wife actually swapped her son with an illegitimate one! I mean, even soap operas aren't this crazy!" "I guess justice was served. They probably only started regretting it after their illegitimate son got a terminal illness and passed away.""Flynn has been through absolute hell! I can't believe I trashed him online earlier!""I'm so glad I kept my mouth shut. I said all along that an ordinary father wouldn't be so cruel as to watch his own son become terminally ill with his own eyes.""If parents could take on their children's illnesses, pediatric wards wouldn't even exist. I mean, there isn't a father alive who could just sit there and watch his children go through that kind of pain.""How can he be so h

Chapter 9

Ruth still tried to have someone else reach out to negotiate with me after Demi left, but I ignored them. She was going to face legal justice, and that was final.I showed up on the day the verdict was delivered, and as soon as she caught sight of me, she dropped straight to her knees. "I'm really sorry, Flynn!" she cried. "I wasn't in my right mind back then! Can you please forgive me? It's all on me. I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me, Flynn!"Ruth sure loved to drop to her knees. She had been dropping to her knees constantly ever since things went sideways with Tyler, yet she still had the nerve to pull that stunt again. She was the one who switched my baby and abandoned him to a life of misery in the countryside. She was completely delusional if she thought a bit of kneeling was going to get her off the hook.I refused to forgive her and demanded that everything be handled strictly by the book.Ruth's crimes went way beyond just switching the babies.
