Pada tahun keenam setelah diusir dari keluarga kaya karena dianggap sebagai putri palsu, aku bertahan hidup dengan menjual darahku. Baru saja aku menerima sedikit uang dan hendak menghubungi dokter untuk membeli obat, seorang pengawal menendang belakang lututku dengan keras. Saat jatuh berlutut, aku mendengar seorang wanita kaya berteriak tak terkendali. "Dasar anak nggak tahu terima kasih! Apa yang kamu lakukan di sini? Apa kamu mau coba celakai Sophia-ku lagi?" Sebuah tamparan keras mendarat di wajahku. Aku baru menyadari bahwa itu adalah ibuku yang sedang mengumpulkan sumber darah untuk putri kesayangannya, Sophia. Melihat ibuku yang putus asa, kakak laki-lakiku, Owen, segera memerintahkan para pengawal untuk mengusirku. Dia menatap uang di tanganku dan mencibir, "Sepertinya, beberapa tahun terakhir masih belum mengubah sifatmu. Demi kemewahan semu, kamu bahkan rela menjual darah untuk dapatkan beberapa ratus ribu." "Sophia akan lulus dan pergi ke luar negeri untuk melanjutkan studi dalam setengah bulan. Dia nggak butuh perhatian eksklusif keluarga lagi, sedangkan kamu juga nggak akan bisa menindasnya. Nanti, aku akan jelaskan alasannya kepada Ayah dan Ibu, lalu membawamu pulang. Kamu akan tetap menjadi tuan putri di rumah." "Pulang ... tuan putri?" gumamku. Akhirnya, aku hanya menggeleng dan tertawa terbahak-bahak. Aku mengidap penyakit ALS, penyakit saraf yang bisa menyebabkan tubuh lumpuh secara perlahan. Penyakit ALS-ku berkembang terlalu cepat dan aku bahkan tidak akan mampu bertahan sebulan lagi. Lagi pula, ketika dia menuduhku sebagai putri palsu demi Sophia yang hanyalah seorang anak dari keluarga miskin, aku sudah lama kehilangan rumah.
