Chapter 1

On the day of my daughter Skylar Cooper's sixth birthday, I was having an appendectomy in the hospital.

I begged my husband, Oliver Cooper, to pick her up from school, but he refused on the grounds that he had to attend a transnational meeting.

"Ms. Anderson, Skylar fell off a building at school! She..."

I was so shocked that I couldn't hear the teacher's voice on the phone. I pulled out the IV tube in my hand and rushed to the school, but I was still too late.

Skylar was on the verge of death and said, "Mom, I miss Dad. Can you ask Dad to come and see me?"

She was so badly injured that her face was unrecognizable, and she was covered in blood.

I held her body and cried bitterly. At this time, the campus screen was showing the news.

[Oliver, the richest man in Enilota, held a press conference and announced the return of Kayla, the young lady of the Watson Group, and the two rekindled their old love.]

Before Skylar died, she only longed to see her father, but he ignored us while hugging his ex-girlfriend!

I was shaking all over. Finally, I dialed his phone number and said, "Oliver, is this the urgent meeting you left Skylar for?"

His tone showed undisguised disgust. "Melissa, are you crazy? Skylar is safe at school, but Kayla is sick and needs me more!"
