When that segment of my memory ended, everyone in the courtroom was staring at my parents with disgust. "My god… They actually sold their daughter?!" "That man practically has one foot in the grave! Marrying him is like volunteering to be a widow." "Those parents are heartless!" My parents' faces turned even darker under the crowd's outrage. My brothers Carl and Tony kept their heads down, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

Was it because they thought I was disgusting? Mom screamed and quickly dodged me. She then stood up and patted her uniform that hadn't even been stained with blood. My hand froze midair. On the other end, Evonne happily urged, "Mom, hurry! Dad said the three of us are going out for Wersole food to celebrate surviving this ordeal!" As I watched the retreating backs of the happy family, I couldn't endure it any longer. My tightly clenched right hand loosened, and with my bloodied, mangled fingers, I pressed the remote button.

After hearing Mom’s words, Nathan recoiled from me as if I carried a plague. Turning to the other media and bystanders, he raised his voice. "This is a family matter. We shouldn’t interfere. Her parents and husband are all OB-GYNs. Three doctors wouldn’t misdiagnose the fetus together. And if there really were an issue, the police would’ve resolved it at the station already.

The whole family were constantly trying to belittle or insult each other at every turn. How could such a family exist? Rick could not wait to leave and never look back. Even though he had paid several hundred thousand dollars to treat her mother, Lois still berated Rick as a good for nothing in front of her siblings. Finally Rick and Debbie both had had enough!

My father took back control of the company after my brother fell seriously ill, only to be humiliated when the company was acquired by the male lead, sending him into the ICU from sheer rage. And me, I wasn’t even important enough to be cannon fodder, just background decoration, with an utterly bleak ending: As a useless nobody who had just returned to a wealthy family and knew nothing, after the Shaw family went bankrupt, I went out to work, ran into my idiot boss again, and after pulling an all-nighter, dropped dead on the way to take his kid to school. I woke up out of pure anger. Fine, the world being a novel was one thing, but why did my entire family have to make way for the male and f

I was about to push it open when a man in a light gray shirt stepped out first. I took one look and knew he was exactly the type Serena Vaughn would like—clean-cut, composed, carrying himself with quiet steadiness. “And you are?” he asked. His eyes swept quickly over Ethan in my arms, and his expression shifted. “I’m Serena’s husband, Lucas Drake,” I said evenly. “I came to see how my wife managed to sign herself as a family member to your child.” A nurse pushed a treatment cart past us in the hallway, and several family members chatted nearby.
