Chapter 1

Alan's POV"Why is that man crying?"A child's voice rang out. Everyone turned to see who the oldest boy was pointing at.The moment they saw me, their smiles vanished.Hannah Leywood was the first to react. She hurriedly pulled all six children behind her and looked at me in panic.She stammered, "A-Alan…"I stared at the little faces peeking out from behind her, and tears immediately filled my eyes."They're my children, aren't they?" I asked.Hannah couldn't bring herself to meet my eyes. Her gaze was troubled. "They're your flesh and blood, but they're not your children. Cody is their father.""How can you say that?" A pain shot through my lower back. "I took care of you through every pregnancy until I made myself sick! How can you expect them to call someone else their father?"With trembling hands, I pulled the lucky charm from around my neck and held it out to the oldest boy, my eyes full of hope."Shawn, you moved so much when your mom was pregnant with you," I said.

Chapter 2

Alan's POVCody was the one who pushed me first. He fell into the lake himself, then blamed me.I had no way to prove my innocence back then, and no one believed me now.My mom, Pamela Kent, rushed over and tried to calm me down. "What's done is done. Just think of the children as gone."You got through it the last few times. You can get through it this time too."With one offhand remark, she brushed aside the pain of losing six children over eight years.I stared at the youngest child in Cody's arms and screamed, "No! They're my children. I watched Hannah carry them to full term and was there through every birth. They can only be my children!"I'm taking all of them, not just the youngest."I lunged forward and reached for the baby.The other five children scrambled behind the adults, crying in fear.In the chaos, a sharp slap rang out.The blow snapped my head to the side, and it felt as if half my face was burning.Fred Lowe, my best friend, had hit me.He stared at me

Chapter 3

Alan's POVBefore I slipped into darkness, I woke the system."Confirm my departure. I want to leave this world forever!" I said.[Departure route activated. Host, you must die and leave this world within 48 hours.]The system's cold, robotic voice woke me up.When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge family portrait hanging on the wall across from me.Cody stood in the center in a sharp suit, surrounded by all of the Leywood family's relatives and friends. Hannah was by his side.So they had already celebrated Hannah's wedding.I just wasn't the groom.I slowly turned my head and looked around.The watch Margot gave me hung in the closet, covered in scratches.On the bookshelf sat the trophy my friends and I won at a basketball tournament, but the name "Alan" had been scratched off and replaced with "Cody".This house had been Mom's gift to me when I turned 18, but now it was Cody and Hannah's home.Everything here still showed signs of my life, yet someone else had taken over

Chapter 4

Alan's POVHannah frowned, clearly annoyed. "I only married Cody so we could get the kids registered. Once the youngest is officially listed under his name, I'll divorce him."Don't say things like that just because you're upset."The moment she finished speaking, her phone rang.As soon as she answered, Mom's anxious voice came through. "Cody has a fever. Get him to a hospital, quickly!"Hannah's face fell. She turned around and hurried out.The bedroom fell silent again.Exhausted in every way, I drifted off to sleep until thick smoke choked me awake.At some point, the room was engulfed in flames.I felt a jolt of panic and rushed to save the children, only to find the door locked from the outside.I pounded on the door and pleaded for help. "Open the door! Help me! I'm still trapped in here!"Then I faintly heard the children outside.Shawn sounded excited. "Daddy said if we burn the evil man to death, he'll take us to the theme park!"Another young boy started clappin

Chapter 5

Alan's POVOutside the ER, Hannah paced anxiously.After a long wait, a doctor hurried out. "Mr. Cody has been diagnosed with acute leukemia. He needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible, or he won't have much time left."The moment the doctor finished speaking, Hannah grabbed my wrist without hesitation. "Use his bone marrow!"I looked at her, stunned by the absurdity of it. "Forget whether I'm willing to donate. You haven't even tested us, so how can you be so sure that I'm a match?"Hannah hesitated for a moment. "Cody has always been in poor health. All these years, I secretly took your medical test results and had them compared with his."Alan, you're a match. You can donate your bone marrow to him."A chill ran through my entire body.So all those times she insisted I get a checkup every year, it wasn't for my health.She had done it so she could keep Cody alive whenever he needed a transplant.Tears fell onto the back of my hand, feeling hot against my skin.

Chapter 6

Third-Person POV"That's impossible!" Hannah grabbed the doctor by the arm, squeezing so hard that her fingers nearly dug into his skin. "All his tests were normal before surgery. How could you not save him? You must have made a mistake!"The doctor sighed. "Ms. Leywood, Mr. Alan's condition was far worse than his test results showed."Eight years of severe emotional trauma and losing child after child have taken a terrible toll on his body. He had been physically and emotionally drained for years."His body simply couldn't withstand the damage caused by the bone marrow donation."Hannah stood frozen, her ears ringing.She remembered all those years when Alan stayed by her side through every pregnancy. He had waited outside the delivery room all night and fell apart every time he was told the baby had died.She had always thought he was simply too emotional and never took his pain seriously.Those had been his cries for help all along.Hannah rushed into the operating room.

Chapter 7

Third-Person POVShawn's cries echoed around them.Hannah was furious. "Didn't you hear what he just said? Cody was behind all of this. He wanted Alan dead!"Pamela clearly disagreed. "Kids say the darndest things. Cody is far too kind and gentle to hurt anyone. How could he ever have it in him to harm Alan?"Pamela sighed and tried to reason with Hannah. "The kids are young. They probably heard people talking and repeated something they didn't understand. You can't take their words seriously."Cody is still lying in that hospital room, waiting for a bone marrow transplant that could save his life. You can't accuse him just because of something the kids said."Hannah clenched her fists and headed toward Cody's hospital room, her chest tight with unease. She was going to confront him and get the truth from him.Inside the room, Cody was propped up in bed, looking pale and weak.Before Hannah could question him, his eyes reddened and tears streamed down his face."Hannah, I just

Chapter 8

Third-Person POVHannah brought Alan's body back to their home.The huge house was eerily quiet.Hannah sent all the housekeepers away and sat alone in the living room, unable to stop thinking about everything that happened.She thought back to the early days of their relationship, when Alan would smile and pull her into his arms.She recalled every pregnancy, when Alan took such careful care of her and eagerly awaited each baby's arrival.She could still picture him waiting anxiously outside the delivery room each time, then looking devastated when he learned the baby had died.Yet over eight years, she had lied to him every single time, six times in all.She had been cruel enough to give every one of their children to Cody.Maybe if she had let Alan keep one or two of their children, he wouldn't have left so decisively.Regret consumed her.Hannah covered her face with her hands as muffled sobs slipped through her fingers.…Meanwhile, without a bone marrow donor, Cody's

Chapter 9

Third-Person POVCody's face instantly grew pale, and he stumbled a few steps back.He quickly regained his composure, tears welling up in his eyes."Hannah, what are you doing here? The doctor said Shawn's bone marrow could save my life. I had no other choice."Hannah sneered, "I heard everything you told Shawn. You used the children as pawns and deliberately drove Alan to his death. Cody, I never knew you were capable of this."Cody could no longer keep up the act. The darkness he'd suppressed for so long finally came pouring out."Yes. That's right. I did all of it!" Cody burst out laughing, his voice full of hatred. "I fell into the frozen lake by accident back then, and I blamed Alan on purpose!"Why should he have everything? A rich family, people who loved him, and your love? I had nothing!"He continued rambling, "Those six children were his anyway. Why shouldn't his life pay for everything I suffered?"I was behind the fire, and I was the one who turned the children a

Chapter 10

Third-Person POVHannah held a grand funeral for Alan.Black-and-white decorations covered the venue, and Alan's portrait stood at the center of the memorial hall.He looked peaceful in the photo, with none of the pain or despair he had once carried.Hannah stood before his portrait dressed in black, her gaze filled with grief.Pamela and Margot looked pale and kept their heads down, unable to face his portrait. They were consumed by guilt they could never make up for.The five children were brought to the funeral service.They had once been taught to hate and hurt Alan. Now that they knew the truth, they were all frightened and uneasy.One by one, they stepped forward and laid a white lily beside Alan's casket.Shawn held his flowers and stared at the face in the photo. His lips moved, but he could not bring himself to say the apology that had come too late.No matter how sorry they were, Alan could no longer hear them.The funeral ended, and the guests left.Back at Leywo
