Lin Zhiyi returned to the country with her daughter, who had congenital heart disease, to seek treatment. In the emergency room, she ran right into the man she’d been trying to avoid: Pei Jinyan, the second young master of the Pei family and a young genius in both neurosurgery and cardiac surgery.
“Family member, sign here.” His voice was cold. When her hand trembled, he let out a derisive laugh. “Lin Zhiyi, you took ten million from me and ran off seven years ago. Is this how you’ve been looking after yourself and your ‘bastard’ all this time?”
Seven years ago, she was an orphan living under someone else’s roof, and he was an untouchable heir. A scandal over “stealing money” made him believe she was a greedy gold-digger. Now she was an internationally renowned architectural designer, forced into his orbit to save her daughter.
She only wanted to get her daughter treated and leave, but he met her with scorn and sarcasm.
“I have a fiancé. We’re getting married soon!” she protested desperately.
The man took off his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze obsessive and unhinged. His fingertip brushed over her tear mole. “Tell him to get lost. I don’t mind being the other man, or making him your late husband. Do you know what these seven years have been like for me?”

Clutching the paternity test, his eyes reddened. “Because I am your daddy. I’m the one who lost you...”
