This scumbag – his mistress is his patiem? 

If she’s in pediatrics, she’s probably not even an adult yet 

My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knickles trembled. 

Dhan affectionately parted her head, his voice unbearably gentle. 

“Hanoue, be good. I’ll stop driving this car, okay?” 

Til drive whichever one you like.” 

Before I could process this, the passenger door opened from the outside. 

“Harude, pestering your godfather again? Did you take your medication on time today? Surgery’s coming up–you can’t slack off” 

The voice was so sugary it could drip.

“No Hannie has been very good. 1 just took her out for a little relaxation before the surgery.” 

“Let’s go, Claire, the restaurant is already booked.” 

The young girl scooted over, squeezing herself into a corner to make space for them. 

Only then did Claire get into the passenger seat. 

When I saw her golden curls on the screen, 1 froze. 

So it’s her. 

I had seen her once at the hospital. Back then, Ethan mentioned her daughter had the same illness as ours, both waiting for a kidney donor is save 

their lives 

I even sympathized, feeling we were in the same boat. 

I told myself that if a kidney became available, I would cover the cost of her daughter’s surgery. 

But now, from what Dhan said, a donor had been found. 

Why didn’t he tell me? Why hasn’t he arranged for our daughter’s surgery? 

I had vested in that hospital and helped him become the department head precisely to secure a donor for our daughter as soon as possible. 

Yet all my efforts had been for these two scumbags! 

A wave of fury at his betrayal swept over me. 

I trembled as I pressed the fast forward button, skipping their meal.

Nausea surged in my throat as 1 slammed the cloth against the glass. 

The fruny scent filled the air as I got out of the car without hesitation, slamming the door shut. 

These two scumbags wanted to step over me and my daughter to build their lappiness? 

Dream on!
