Chapter 3

After my mom left, my dad applied some cream to my arms. His eyes were red with tears, filled with guilt. "Sienna, it's all my fault for being too busy with work and neglecting you."

Looking at him like this, I felt sad too. In my previous life, my mom had brainwashed me into thinking he was a cheating scumbag who favored Oliver over me. However, it was not until I saw how my dad died on that highway trying to save me that I realized he was the one who truly loved me most in this world.

Just as I was about to comfort him, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and hung up with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

Then, it started ringing again. I caught a glimpse of the caller ID and saw that it was Erin.

I immediately spoke up. "Dad, that's Ms. Brooks calling, right? It must be something urgent. You should answer it!"

He looked surprised at my words. Whenever anything involved Erin, I had always reacted with the same extreme disgust and anger as my mom.

However, that was because I had always believed she was the homewrecker who caused my parents' divorce. The truth was, in their three-way story, my mom was actually the despicable homewrecker everyone would hate.

Erin and my dad were childhood sweethearts who had already reached the point of discussing marriage. Meanwhile, my mom had been secretly in love with my dad for years and was willing to drug him just to marry into the Lawson family.

My grandparents, considering the business relationship between the two families and the fact that my mom was pregnant with me, forced my dad to marry her.

Erin was so heartbroken that she left the country immediately. It was only when she returned recently that my dad discovered she had been pregnant before they split up.

Even then, whenever he kept in touch with her, it was only because of the child. He had never once betrayed my mom.

Yet, my mom, obsessed with those toxic win-him-back romance stories, convinced herself that Erin had come back to steal her husband. Thus, she struck first and planned all of this.

In the end, I watched Erin and my half-brother, Oliver, die on the way to see me. I finally understood they never intended to take my dad away from us.

They even lost their lives because of it.

So, I continued to encourage my dad. "Dad, I can tell right from wrong. Just answer it."

When the call connected, Erin's anxious voice came through. "Connor! Oliver collapsed from anemia again. He needs your blood right now."

Both Oliver and I inherited our dad's rare blood type. If it were not so hard to find compatible donors, I think Erin probably would never have planned to return to the country.

Since I insisted, my dad brought me along to the hospital. After Oliver was out of danger, Erin breathed a sigh of relief.

When she saw me, she gently patted the top of my head and said, "Sienna, thank you for coming with Connor. I promise you that I will never interfere in your parents' relationship."

I replied, "Ms. Brooks, my parents are already divorced..."

Before I could finish my sentence, a figure rushed up to me. Then, a stinging slap landed hard across my cheek.

I looked up to see my mom's murderous expression. "Well, well! I was wondering why you'd betray me so suddenly. It looks like you've already been bought by that vixen! You couldn't wait to tell her about the divorce, could you? What? Are you hoping she'll take my place as your mother?

"Just like those ungrateful daughters in those romance novels, you'll never deserve a mother's love!"
