As the youngest cardiac surgery specialist at the hospital, I was urgently called back from maternity leave.
I was to perform a heart transplant for a big shot's illegitimate son, just over two years old.
When I saw the tiny donated heart, I suddenly felt inexplicably dazed, experiencing an inexplicable palpitation.
Still, relying on my strong professional skills, I successfully completed the surgery.
I unexpectedly overheard my husband chatting with his friend inside.
I stood there, dumbfounded.
That tiny heart from earlier... was it really my daughter's, my baby girl's?

The next day, Delia hesitated before telling me, "Seraphina, my brother just sent me a message. He said Zoran's sentencing will be announced tomorrow."


"He's admitted to his crimes, but before the sentencing, he wants to see you one last time."


"If you don't want to see him, we won't go. Don't worry, with the evidence my brother uncovered and me personally handling your case, Zoran is sure to get the death penalty."


I took a deep breath and replied calmly.

He looked like a shell of his former self, devoid of energy. Though he was clean and tidy, he gave off an air of utter defeat.


Normally, Zoran was always meticulous about his appearance.


I never imagined I'd see him like this.


When he saw me, his eyes held a hint of regret, but also a sense of relief.


We stared at each other for a long while before he let out a hoarse chuckle and said, "Darling, you know what? I truly regret it now. I regret hurting you."
