Chapter 1

I watched my mother take my five-year-old self by the hand and walk over to Melody Xanders’ mother, Layla Lance.After learning that Melody and I were classmates, Layla invited us to have some snacks.She eagerly ordered an ice cream. When she noticed my mother looking at her pregnant belly, she smiled.“My husband is being really strict with me. Since I’m pregnant, he won’t let me have anything good. I’ve been craving this so badly.”My mother asked softly, “Are you due soon?”“This month. It’s a boy.”My mother smiled and said, “Your husband must be thrilled.”“Yes, he’s over the moon. It’s our second child, but he’s still very excited about it.”My mother said wistfully, “You two have such a great relationship.”Layla was pleased when she heard that. She smiled and said, “We’re okay. I actually ran off to study abroad once out of spite, and he flew all the way across the world to find me. To feed my ego, he went along with taking multiple sets of wedding photos with me ba

I turned and saw my father. He looked exactly as he had been a decade ago.He looked down at Layla with tender exasperation.“The doctor said you’re supposed to avoid unhealthy food.”Layla leaned coquettishly against him. “I only had one little bite. Don’t be so hard on me.”I quietly glanced at my mother.She stared at my father with a pale face. He was facing away from her.When he noticed my mother, his gaze was calm and indifferent. He seemed to be staring at a stranger.I expected my mother to impulsively rush forward and confront him. Instead, she silently held five-year-old me tightly in her arms.After my father left with Layla, my mother wept silently.She showed me a message on her phone. My father had told her not to make a scene.I tried to comfort her, but she just kept crying.“Mom, don’t cry. He’s not worth it.”That night, my father came to the remote town where my mother lived. She punched and kicked him while crying her heart out.“Why did you lie to m

Just before we left for the train, Little Zoe suddenly came down with a high fever.My mother forgot about the train and ran with me in her arms to the hospital.“I’m sorry, ma’am, but we’re completely understaffed right now.”As soon as the doctor said that, my mother fell to her knees.“Please, doctor! I’m begging you. My daughter is only five years old. She’s in critical condition!”The doctor said helplessly, “Ma’am, it’s not that I don’t want to help. It’s just that Mr. Xanders’ older daughter has a cold, and all our pediatric doctors have been sent to treat her.”My mother rushed out of the hospital like a madwoman.She took a cab and went from one hospital to another. At every single one, she was turned away.“Please, somebody help me. Save my daughter!”But the answer was always the same. All of the pediatrics had been transferred to the private hospital under Xanders Group.My mother’s mind went blank. She called my father with trembling hands.“Rowan, Zoe is dying.

My mother backpedaled even more.“No. Zoe’s way too young. She barely has any blood in her tiny body. You can’t take that from her.”My father’s assistant, Jack, who was beside him, said cautiously, “Mr. Xanders, maybe I can call around to other hospitals. We might find another Rh-negative volunteer donor. That child really is just too young.”The doctor urged him. “There’s no time. Mr. Xanders, you need to decide now. Your wife’s blood pressure is dropping fast.”Just then, Layla’s screams came from the delivery room. Each one was more piercing than the last.Several bodyguards pinned my mother down.She shrieked, “Rowan, are you out of your mind? She’s only five years old!”I tried to rush forward and help, but the bodyguard next to me kicked me ruthlessly. He sent me crashing to the floor.My father forcibly took Little Zoe from my mother’s arms. My mother struggled with all her might.“Rowan, let her go! She’s five! Draining her blood could kill her!”A nurse emerged from

The documents in Rowan’s hands slipped. Papers were scattered all over the floor.He rushed to the building without a moment’s hesitation.Jack shouted from behind him, “Mr. Xanders! The fire is spreading fast! The fire trucks aren’t here yet. You can’t—”Before Jack could finish, Rowan had already dashed out of sight.Black smoke poured from the top of the hospital and spread across the sky.Rowan pushed against the flow of people fleeing downward.A window at the end of the hallway exploded outward. Shards of glass flew everywhere. Waves of heat rushed toward him.“Aileen—!”The sound of an explosion swallowed his voice.At the corner, a nurse crouched on the floor, coughing.“Th-There was a woman... holding a kid... they got stuck on the seventh floor...”Rowan had just reached the stairwell when a pair of hands grabbed him tightly.“Sir, the upper floors are sealed off. You can’t go up there!”It was the hospital’s head of security.“Move! My daughter’s up there!”Ro

Chapter 6

Before Layla could finish speaking, Rowan had already broken free from the firefighters holding him back and charged into the still-smoking ruins.“Mr. Xanders!”“Sir, you can’t go in!”Everyone panicked. Several firefighters rushed in after him.Layla stood frozen in place as her face turned pale.For some reason, a strange, uneasy feeling crept up on her.Rowan was not supposed to act like that.He was supposed to be that cold, detached man who always put profit first.He should not have rushed into a burning building for Aileen and that brat.Word began to spread within Harbor City’s upper-class society that Rowan had lost his mind.He had stopped functioning over a mistress.Rowan’s grandfather, Andrew, flew into a rage. He had Rowan knocked unconscious and dragged back to the family home.When Rowan woke up, Andrew snorted coldly, “How could you throw your life away for some random woman?”Rowan did not explain himself. He did not argue either.Andrew was visibly ups

Chapter 7

The weather in Amity City was much better than in Harbor City.As soon as we got out of the car, I saw my grandparents, whom I had never met before.They looked at me with curiosity. My mother did not know how to explain my identity at that moment.I stepped forward and greeted them with a hug.The two elderly people were taken aback. Their eyes darted back and forth between my mother and myself.My mother said softly, “She’s a friend’s daughter. She’ll be staying with us for a little while.”Grandma did not ask further questions. She simply touched my head with a tender expression and said, “She looks just like you did when you were little.”My mother first took Little Zoe to the hospital for a checkup. The results were unexpected.The doctor said all her vitals were normal. She had also recovered from her cold.My mother frowned and turned to me. “What actually happened back then? Did they not draw any blood? Did they just give you a fever shot?”I shook my head and said I

Chapter 8

I instinctively shielded Little Zoe behind me and took her on a longer route home.But as soon as we walked through the door, I found that same car parked right outside our building.Standing next to the car was my father.The moment he saw me, he froze.“Zoe.”Little Zoe peeked out from behind me timidly.He gulped and crouched down. “Zoe, I’m Daddy.”Little Zoe hid behind me again.“No, you’re not. I don’t have a daddy.”I saw his body stiffen. Just then, footsteps echoed from the stairwell. My mother came down carrying a grocery basket.The moment she saw my father, her expression darkened.“How did you find this place?”He stood up. “Aileen, I’m here to take you and Zoe back.”She shoved the grocery basket into my hands and pushed me toward the entrance.“Zoe, take your sister upstairs.”As I walked away, I heard him say behind me, “I’m already dealing with the situation with Layla. Just give me some time. I’ll make this right for you.”My mother said coldly, “W

Chapter 9

I struggled with all my might, but I was no match for a grown man’s strength.The van drove straight onto the highway. The scenery outside the windows changed from small city streets to rolling hills.Little Zoe started to cry. “Where are you going?”I pulled her into my arms. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”My father must have realized that my mother would not budge, so he decided to go after Zoe instead.He took out a beautiful rag doll to get into Little Zoe’s good behavior. “Zoe, do you like this?”She looked at the doll and pressed herself closer to the car window.I had never liked dolls since I was little. I liked Ultraman.When she did not take it, he set the doll down on the seat and reached out to pat her head.I held her close and moved away.His hand froze in midair. It took him a while to pull it back.The car drove on for a very long time. Little Zoe began to sob. “I want Mommy...”“She’ll be here soon. Just hang on a little longer, Zoe.”“Zoe, I’m your daddy.

Chapter 10

On the way home, my mother asked me, “Did your father really have no feelings for me at all?”I had lied to my mother. In my version of the story, my father never loved her. He only used her.The truth was that his love always came too late. He only felt sorry after she was already gone.That had been true in the old timeline. It had proven itself to be true again in the new timeline.But what difference did that make?I had been given one chance to stop her before it was too late.She was still young and could make other choices.She was no longer that forty-year-old woman everyone pitied. Matchmakers even started showing up at the door.I responded, “Does it even matter whether he did or not?”Would the pain he had caused her just vanish because he loved her?My mother quietly stared out the window at the streetlights blurring past.The cab was quiet, except for Little Zoe’s soft breathing in her arms.I studied my mother’s face. Her older self in the other timeline wou
