Chapter 1While My Foster Daughter Lives In Luxury, My Own Daughter Toils – And My Heart Breaks

I raised Avery Stone for eighteen years, and she turned out to be a fraud.

My biological daughter was sent to the countryside by my husband.

While Avery lived in luxury, she was out chopping wood and feeding pigs.

When Avery was attending Harvard University with tutoring, she was forced to drop out.

Even when she found us, Avery casually said, "I don't want to leave Dad."

Then, my daughter inexplicably fell from a high-rise building. Unwilling to accept this, I decided to uncover the truth.

However, I was severely injured when Avery drove and crashed into me. Before I died, I saw my best friend hugging Logan Blackwood as they got out of the car.

"Thank you for raising our daughter for eighteen years!"

When I opened my eyes again, my daughter had just been born.

This time, I will protect my daughter myself!

A sudden, intense pain caused me to lose consciousness.

Am I dead? Everything around me is a blur of white; I can't see anything!

Am I going to heaven?

But I'm so unwilling!

I feel such hatred!

Logan Blackwood, my husband of many years, had been cheating on me for years behind my back.

The daughter I cherished so deeply turned out to be Logan's child with his mistress!

The image of my best friend embracing Logan is still vivid in my mind, and the tragic sight of my biological daughter’s death is still before my eyes!

I want revenge!

"Doctor! Doctor! The mother has fainted!"

I vaguely hear someone shouting in my ear.

The strong scent of disinfectant fills my nose.

I suddenly open my eyes!

Where am I?

Once again, I awaken on a hospital bed!

The surroundings are unfamiliar, yet it feels like I've been here before.

"Serena, you're finally awake! Mom was so scared!"

Mom?

The woman before me is well-dressed and well-maintained.

She looks like my mother when she was young!

Didn't my mom pass away a few years ago?

"They say childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell! Luckily, you made it safely!"

Childbirth?

Have I been reborn?

I swiftly sit up. Where is my child?

"Mom, where is my child!?"

I don't have time to savor the joy of reuniting with my mother; I start searching for my daughter.

In my previous life, my daughter was swapped by Logan shortly after birth. I must ensure this never happens again!

"Mom, where is my child!"

I ask my mother again, desperately.

"Serena, don't worry. You passed out, and the nurses took the baby to bathe!"

My mom quickly tries to comfort me.

"Logan is watching over you there! Your body still needs time to heal; don't move around too much!"

"What! Logan is watching!"

A chill runs from the soles of my feet up through my entire body!
