Chapter 1

In the fire scene, Sarah and her secretary were caught in bed, suffering burns, forcing me to donate blood for him.

She disregarded my blood clotting disorder, leaving me in a pool of blood while tending to her unconscious lover alone.

She then transferred all the shares to him and announced his existence to everyone.

That evening, I stumbled upon Sarah's social media post.

It included a pregnancy test report.

"A family of three, you're all I need."

Not only did I not get angry, I even liked the post.

"Captain Stratton, what should we do......"

I was thunderstruck, staring at the two naked bodies.

"John, aren't you going to rescue us? What are you standing there for?" Sarah glared at me angrily, completely oblivious to her own wrongdoing.

She cheated on me in our home, betrayed me, and still had the audacity to act righteous.

Out of professional duty, I coldly covered the two with fire blankets.

They were rushed to the hospital with severe burns over large areas of their bodies, requiring skin grafts.

"This is all your fault for not answering your phone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been burned like this!"

Sarah shot me an accusing look, not forgetting to show concern for Mark beside her.They were college classmates. He got laid off from a big tech company and sought refuge at Sarah's firm, becoming a secretary.

I was usually swamped with work, constantly putting out fires, so I didn't pay much attention to this development.

Little did I know, they would so brazenly make me a cuckold.

"It's your fault for not having time for me. I had no choice but to spend time with Mark," she said.

She turned her head away guiltily, unable to meet my gaze.

Mark's injuries were severe. He was bleeding profusely from his wounds, and to make matters worse, he had a rare blood type. The blood bank was in dire need.

"John, if I remember correctly, you have that rare blood type, right? Quick, donate blood to Mark, or he might not make it!"

I stared at her in disbelief, shocked that she would even consider asking me.

Taking a step back, my tone suddenly turned cold.

"Are you out of your mind? You want me to donate blood to your lover? The fire department is swamped, and donating blood would affect my work!"

Sarah, however, was completely dismissive.

"You're just a small-time captain, how much can you even make? Besides, Mark got hurt protecting me. How can you be so heartless?"

She called for security, who grabbed my arms, trying to force me to donate blood.I have a severe blood clotting disorder, which she knows about. If I get injured, it's very difficult for me to recover.

"Go donate blood when I tell you to! Besides, if you weren't so busy, would my daughter have gone to someone else? Then Mark wouldn't have gotten hurt. This is all your fault!"

My father-in-law stormed in, furious. He struck my knee with his cane, causing me to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

He actually blamed everything on me.

The cheater wasn't at fault, but the betrayed one had to bear the responsibility.

"You're a man too. Could you accept it if darling cheated on you?"

My father-in-law's face turned red with anger as he pounded his cane, clearly infuriated.

The same situation he couldn't accept himself, why did he expect me to?

But it was too late.

The bodyguards forcibly dragged me to the blood donation room.

They drew a full three vials of blood.

My vision instantly blurred, my heart pounding erratically. I leaned weakly against the wall.

Yet Sarah acted as if she didn't see, devoting all her attention to Mark's side.
