Aunt Primrose sensed trouble as soon as she heard this.
She looked up and realized that the Damien standing before her was none other than the surgeon who had operated on me years ago.
My parents were also stunned.
How had I become Aunt Primrose’s child?
Alec excitedly grabbed Damien’s hand.
“Doctor? What do you mean by what you just said?”
Damien was unaware of the arrangement between Mrs. Frost and my uncle and Aunt Primrose.
He only knew that I had donated a heart to Alec years ago, so I should be Alec’s lifesaver.
“Weren’t you just asking me about your surgery?”
“The little girl from her family was the one who donated her heart to you back then.
Aunt Primrose anxiously objected.
“No, you’re mistaken. We don’t have a daughter.”
Uncle nodded in agreement.
But my parents wore strange expressions.
Because back then, they were so preoccupied with my sister’s illness that no one could take care of me.
So they entrusted me, still a young child, to Uncle Zoran and Aunt Primrose’s
care.
That’s why as an adult, I wasn’t close to my parents.
My parents even favored my sister because of this.
Damien never expected the people involved to contradict him. The
atmosphere grew even more awkward as the director attempted to break the tension.
At that moment, Mrs. Frost walked in.
She had intended
I do so awes
She had intended to speak with Aunt Primrose about keeping this matter
under wraps.
However, she didn’t expect to find so many people present.
Even more surprising was the presence of Alec’s teacher, who had been the
lead surgeon back then.
Upon seeing Mrs. Frost, Damien’s voice involuntarily rose.
“Your mother is here too. Isn’t that right? You can ask her yourself.”
In an instant, all eyes in the room were fixed on Mrs. Frost.
Mrs. Frost felt as if a thousand pounds had been placed on her shoulders.
When Alec saw his mother’s expression, he understood.
But he needed a definitive answer.
Otherwise, he might truly lose his mind.
“Mom, is what the teacher just said true?”
After hearing Damien’s words, Mrs. Frost knew the truth could no longer be concealed.
She nodded in response to everyone’s expectant gaze.
Aunt Primrose and Uncle Zoran realized the secret was out.
Without much thought, they made a dash for it.
But Alec blocked their path.
Faye, lying in her hospital bed, was utterly confused by what she was hearing,
feeling as if some things had slipped beyond her control. Her heart was
already aching unbearably, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. At that moment, she fainted.
In the crowd, the director was the first to notice Faye’s unusual state.
He immediately prepared to check on Faye’s condition.
The remaining doctors reacted quickly, immediately ushering everyone else
out of the hospital room.
Alec stood outside the door, his eyes fixed intently on Uncle Zoran.

They now had more pressing matters to clarify.
Uncle Zoran was pondering how to explain the situation.
Just then, Mrs. Frost suddenly knelt before my parents.
“My in–laws, I’ve wronged you terribly.”
Everything happened so fast that Alec couldn’t even react.
He wanted to step forward and help Mrs. Frost up, but she began recounting past events.
Alec listened as his mother explained that when he was young, he had a weak heart, and the family had desperately sought a heart transplant for him. By chance, they found a match in me.
So they paid Uncle Zoran a hefty sum for my heart.
They thought after this incident, Alec and I would never cross paths again. So when Alec grew up and forgot he had ever had a heart condition, Mrs. Frost decided to keep it a secret.
But she never expected that Alec and I would fall in love.
Mrs. Frost said she was sorry to my family.
Because at that time, she thought my Aunt Primrose and Uncle Zoran were my parents.
When my parents heard this, they felt like the sky was falling. They had never cared about me, so they didn’t know I had suffered so much as a child.
My Aunt Primrose and Uncle Zoran stood before Alec, feeling utterly ashamed. They knew I was born with a unique body, having two hearts. At that time, they were desperate for money, which led them to resort to such an underhanded scheme.
Aunt Primrose hesitated for a long time before speaking.
“Hasn’t Alec already married Melody? A couple with one heart is surely a
match made in heaven. They’ll live happily ever after.”
However, Alec went crazy.
“After? There won’t be an after.
