The year of purest love, just because of my husband's low sperm count and one sentence, I gave up the opportunity to study abroad, agreed to adopt the abandoned baby he picked up by the roadside. From that day on, exhausted my heart and blood to take care of this home, raise this child. Suffered for thirty years, finally waited until son married and started career, thought I could relax a bit, but I was diagnosed with terminal illness. Facing sky-high treatment costs, just wanted to comfort husband and son saying I have money. But they got angry. "What your money? That's all this family's money, this illness is a bottomless pit, throwing money in won't even hear a sound!" "Mom, Dad is right, I have plenty of places need money later, don't be so selfish." So they combined forces forcibly took me home, fed me painkillers for ten years, watched me take last breath. After I died, husband happily welcomed his First Love into the door. Son also hugged her crying bitterly saying regretted not being able to serve her, this biological mother, these years. I then realized my whole life actually lived in lies, made wedding dress for others. Opened eyes again, I returned to the day boyfriend holding an abandoned baby asked me if could adopt. Chapter 1 I glanced at him and directly closed the door, "Send to CPS (Child Protective Services)." Lucas Snyder was anxious, "How can we do that?!" I looked at Lucas's righteous look and laughed, "What can't be done, is it more ridiculous than me, an unmarried girl, adopting a child?" Lucas frowned tight, seeing my tough attitude, softened first, "Fiona, this is also a life, look how pitiful he is, abandoned so small, anyway we are getting married soon, treat as raising a child in advance, isn't it good?" Lucas spoke with deep feeling, these words I heard in my past life long ago. Now listening so disgusting, but unfortunately in past life I believed. That time parents hoped I go abroad for further study, but for Lucas and this child, I tore up plane ticket, insisted adopting this child, married Lucas without any ceremony. From then on, started long dedication. Finally after I died, they inherited my family's huge fortune, lived happily with his lover and illegitimate son. "This is indeed a life, also pitiful, so more reason to send to CPS, there are professional caregivers, I have no childcare experience, how to take care of him?" Lucas stunned. This probably is first time I refuted him. We are childhood sweethearts, I was obedient to him, always soft-hearted to him, forgot myself. "But..." He seemed to think of something, sighed relief, "My mom can help you." I sneered in heart, help? Past life mother-in-law indeed helped a few days. But not long after had a stroke paralyzed, I took care of child while serving mother-in-law. Until mother-in-law died I checked medical records then knew she simply wasn't paralyzed! Just wanted lie down let me serve! I took deep breath, "Lucas Snyder, I think I need to reconsider our relationship." "You know, my parents always hoped I go abroad." Finished I wanted close door. Lucas seeing this kicked door to hold, face full anxiety wanted say more. At this time hurried footsteps came from doorway. A young man ran over, "Lucas! Quick, company has matter find you!" Colleague glanced at me, then looked at swaddle in Lucas's arms, expression subtle. I saw in eyes, sneered in heart. Again like this. Lucas moved rescue, probably waiting for me soft-hearted actively say give child to me first, you go busy first. Then can logically send child into my home and himself easily escape. This time I didn't speak, just quietly looked at him, hands behind back, refusal gesture clear. Colleague still urging. Lucas finally made up mind, fiercely turned to me, face pleading, stuffed swaddle into my arms, "Fiona! Beg you! You most soft-hearted, wait I finish busy I will come back take care of this child with you!" Weight with baby milk scent caught off guard hit into my arms. Next second, Lucas already ran no shadow. Familiar yet strange touch made me tremble all over. Countless fragments surged up. Midnight holding feverish him running to hospital, first time called me mom I wept with joy. And when Lucas snatched my life-saving medicine, he coldly said, "Mom, don't toss anymore, go peacefully, you delayed my parents' lifetime, don't delay my son." I gave up many opportunities to stay home take care of him. Saying this child grew up sucking my heart blood is not exaggerated. Finally, raised a white-eyed wolf. I looked at empty everything in front, only left me and baby crying weakly in arms standing lonely at door. Parents' doubtful voices came from behind, I looked down at child, gritted teeth, made a decision. Chapter 2 Next morning, urgent knocking woke me up. Parents also woke up. Outside door sure enough was Lucas. "Uncle Auntie, good morning." "Lucas, so early?" My mom although dissatisfied with Lucas, but after all neighbors for years, still enthusiastically greeted him, "Haven't eaten breakfast right, just right, come eat some?" More enthusiastic they were, more unnatural Lucas was. He had no mind to eat, full heart on his own child, barely coping, "No no, Uncle Auntie, I ate, I come find Fiona... see child." He saying, gaze crossed my parents looking at me. "Child?" My mom this time really confused, "Lucas, what child you talking about, where come child?" Lucas stunned, tone anxious, "Just that little boy I brought yesterday! I gave to Fiona!" I slowly sat at dining table peeling egg, eyelids didn't lift. Lucas seeing this rushed over to drag my arm: "Fiona! Where is child!" His action rough, my dad immediately sank face, "Talk just talk! Do what moving hands!" "Uncle Auntie! I really gave her a child!" Lucas anxious voice shaking, turning to me almost roared, "Fiona, child!" I chuckled, "You so anxious, could it be child is yours?" Living room instantly quiet. Lucas expression stiff, "What nonsense you talking, that was I picked from roadside..." "So, I put him on roadside again." "Is it?" I stood up, calmly said, "Since picked, then I of course sent him to place he should go." Lucas pupils fierce shrank, "Where you sent him???" "Roadside." I tone relaxed, "Didn't you pick from roadside? I put on roadside, in case parents who abandoned him found conscience, came back find child?" "What you said!" Lucas fiercely grabbed my wrist, strength incomparable big, pinched my bones crackling sound, "Fiona! Don't joke with me!" My dad immediately stepped forward drag him, "Lucas Snyder! Let go!" I threw off his hand, rubbed red wrist, "I no time joke with you, I still have to pack luggage for studying abroad!" "What studying abroad?" Lucas blankly said, "How can you go abroad, you go abroad who take care of child?" My mom listened head fog, "What child, what you guys talking about, also, Fiona school abroad starts next month, this is matter we agreed long ago." Lucas took deep breath, barely squeezed smile to my mom, "Auntie, this matter I explain to you later." He turned head grabbed my arm again, tone begging, "Fiona, you tell me first, where is child, that is a life." I looked at his righteous look calculating me, whole body blood rolling, just about raise hand give him a slap when——! Chapter 3 "Oh my, terrible!" Opposite Auntie Wang suddenly poked head out, face full anxiety, "Morning found an abandoned baby in our community garden, that little face burned red, all confused, ambulance just pulled away, pitiful oh~" Lucas's face turned white instantly. He stared dead at me, eyes full of bloodshot, "You really threw him?" I also heard words stunned. I clearly threw child to Serena's door. How could appear in community garden? But before I thought clear, Lucas fiercely dragged me rushing out. "Lucas Snyder! What you doing!" My dad shouted sternly. Lucas turned deaf ear, "Go hospital! Go now!" My mom wanted stop, but roughly pushed away by Lucas. I was half dragged half pulled by Lucas stuffed into taxi, he tremblingly shouted to driver go Children's Hospital. In car his mouth non-stop muttering won't have matter won't have matter. I coldly watched his lost soul look. Past life I cancer pain in bed, fever to 104 degrees, begged him send me hospital, he only coldly perfunctory me drink some hot water fine. Now for his own child, anxious like ant on hot pot. Really ironic. Sure enough board not hit on self body won't feel pain. Arrived hospital emergency department, Lucas like crazy grabbed nurse asked child whereabouts. He dragged me stumbling rushed into ward. Just at door, heard woman sobbing sound. Pushed door, saw Serena holding flush faced rapid breathing baby in arms, cheek sticking his forehead, tears falling one by one. "Baby, no fear no fear." She voice choked, anyone look knew how anxious she was for this child. Lucas rushed in, eyes instantly red, fiercely turned head, stared dead at me, resentment in eyes almost overflowing. "Fiona! You satisfied! Child burned like this now, pneumonia, convulsion, almost just..." He voice hoarse, "He only how big, how you so cruel heart!" I looked at this fragile little life, heart no wave. Past life they sucked dry my youth and health, relied on my family resources step by step high promotion. Finally coldly watched me stop breathing. His life death, I don't care. "I cruel?" My gaze turned to Serena, "Lucas Snyder, yesterday I personally put this child at Serena's door, also left a note, how..." I paused, tone doubtful, "This child would freeze outside whole night, until morning discovered by people in community garden?" Serena looked at me with full eyes shock, "Fiona, what nonsense you talking? I first time see this pitiful child today, I am nurse here transferred to pediatrics help, see this child sick so serious no one care I just..." She saying tears rolled down again, "If... if you really put this child at my door, how could I let him stay outside overnight?" "If is me first saw this child, I definitely will take good care of him!" "We three grew up together since small, what person I am you know clearly in heart!" I heard words frown. Before I also thought Serena kind innocent, so that time I gave up quota going abroad, let my dad use connection coordinate, gave to Serena. Watching good friend replace self complete unfinished dream. I was willing. Just later didn't expect, Serena turned into my son's biological mom. Became Lucas's white moonlight. Those years lingering on sickbed, I then knew, how stupid I was. I coldly watched. And Lucas looking at Serena pear blossom bathed in rain look, eyes complex flickered few times. He took deep breath, eyes firm, step forward blocked in front of Serena and child, facing me. "Serena, you no need say more, I believe you." Then Lucas took out a document from bag carried with him. Brand new cover, eye-catching title. 《Adoption Registration Certificate》 He flipped open inner page, faced certificate to me. That above impressively printed my name. Chapter 4 Fiona Lin, and adopter name column, already neatly filled, Leo. My blood instantly rushed to top of head, limbs ice cold. I remembered! A while ago I prepared an important qualification exam, registration needed on-site confirmation, coincidentally those days I had other things, was Lucas volunteered say help me handle, took away my ID card. I that time completely no defense, even moved by his considerateness. Turns out he planned everything long ago, utilized my trust, under circumstance I knew nothing, privately handled adoption procedures. "Leo..." I looked at this name, pain suffered humiliation in past life instantly surged up, almost unstable standing. This name like a cage! Want bind me and this white-eyed wolf and this pair scum man bitch woman together again! Lucas looked at my pale face, actually held my hand comforting me. I threw him off he also not angry. Lucas stretched brows, "Fiona, I know you momentarily can't accept, I don't want force you, but I also unwilling see you become a cold person, this child too pitiful, I made this decision for you, we recognize him." He paused, "Adoption certificate already done, legally, you are his mom, if you insist oppose..." "Then I can only publicly declare this is child of us two, anyway we originally going to marry, others also won't feel strange." "I can't watch helpless this little life, because our adults' indifference selfishness, sent to welfare home, become an orphan without home." Lucas spoke righteously. And I looked at his extremely hypocritical face, and Serena holding child beside, faintly proud. Maybe anger reached extreme, instead I strangely calmed down. I slowly curved mouth corner, smiled. "Lucas Snyder, you right, with this this child counts as settled." Lucas obviously sighed relief, face gratified. Serena also relaxed, lowered head rubbed child cheek. I changed tone, "But I next month going abroad study, school side procedures all done, tuition also paid, if I not go, this quota wasted." Lucas almost immediately took words, "What difficult in this, how could waste!" He looked at Serena, "Let Serena go not fine? You both study clinical, major matches, she is our best friend again." "Fiona, look, this how good, Serena replaced you go, equals still our person realized your dream, fertile water not flow outsider field, you stay peace mind take care child and family, best of both worlds!" Serena tear light flashing, "Fiona, you believe me, I will study well, not disappoint you and Lucas expectation." I looked at two people singing together, cooperating tacitly. Past life sucked dry value by them joined hands, two old peeling bodies hooking up at my funeral picture flashed again. I lightly laughed out sound, Lucas and Serena both stunned, looking at me puzzled. "Good, Lucas Snyder, you don't regret." "Later I am this child's Legal Guardian." I looked at their instantly relaxed expression, coldness spread in heart. Faintly excited again! Just then, ward door pushed open with a bang. A young nurse holding report sheet, look anxious, "Child test result out, quick send ICU!" "This is abandoned baby right, no family can sign, directly transfer!" Nurse saying wanted hold child onto moving bed. I reached hand pressed nurse, "Who said this child no family?"
