The Abandoned Heiress,I Was Never Your Second Choice

Ten years after my parents abandoned me, they finally found me.

On the first day, they spent their entire savings to buy me an eight-hundred-dollar down jacket.

On the second day, Dad worked a night shift, saying he wanted to give me a red envelope for New Year's Eve.

On the third day, Mom took an early morning job to help pay my tuition—and slipped and fell, landing herself in the hospital.

I thought maybe they really had abandoned me because of crushing debt, not because I was born slow.
