Chapter 1

My son had just turned seven months old when my wife and my brother died together in a lovers' suicide.

They leaped from a high mountain, their bodies never recovered.

Just as I was reeling in shock, several lines of text suddenly floated before my eyes.

"This Ethan is really pitiful. Sophia and Liam faked their deaths, but he has to raise the baby and take care of both sets of parents all alone. He ended up dying from exhaustion before he even turned thirty-five."

"His son is an ungrateful wretch too. He acknowledged Liam as his father, and didn't even visit Ethan's grave on the anniversary of his death. Weeds have grown all over Ethan's tombstone!"

"And he doesn't know—the child he worked himself to death raising for seven years isn't even his biological son!"

"Sophia is so rich, but Ethan didn't inherit a single penny. Those two bastards, Sophia's parents, took everything!"

"They even pretended to be paralyzed and made Ethan serve them hand and foot, treating him like he wasn't even human!"

Seeing all this, my tears stopped flowing instantly, like a dam had been shut.
