The daughter is gravely ill in bed, yet her husband takes the surgery money to buy luxury goods for his White Moonlight.

I frantically called him, telling him that if our daughter doesn't have surgery, she will die.

He, however, was indifferent and even cursed me, saying, "Xu Lu! You're disgusting, cursing our daughter with illness just to get back your secret stash! Are you even fit to be a mother!"

I wanted to explain, telling him it wasn't my secret stash, it's the surgery fund I raised for our daughter, but before I could continue, he hung up the phone.

The next second, his White Moonlight posted a WeChat moment.

In the picture, she wore a dazzling imperial green bracelet, her smile radiant.

"Friendship has a price, true love is priceless."

Yet he didn't know, that very day, our daughter had already died in the hospital due to the lack of money for surgery.

To celebrate White Moonlight's birthday, my husband went to Europe ten days ago.

During this time, I called him multiple times, telling him our daughter is seriously ill, but he always thought I was lying.

Since all the salary cards were in his hands, I had to ask friends and family for loans to gather enough money for the daughter's surgery.

But even the daughter's life-saving money was transferred by him to buy his White Moonlight a birthday gift.

We've been married for eight years and our family was always the envy of others.

But ever since three years ago, when my husband's first love returned from abroad after her divorce, everything changed.

We couldn't find him at home during the day, and he never returned before dawn at night.

Even when ten days ago, Yuanyuan had a persistent high fever at kindergarten, and the teacher called him to pick her up, what we got was his call canceling.

He used the gentlest tone to say the words that disappointed Yuanyuan the most.

"Daddy suddenly has to go on a business trip, can't pick you up. Let mommy do it instead, and when daddy returns, he'll buy you a gift."

But he didn't know, the best gift for Yuanyuan would be his company.

After hanging up, outside the hospital room, I rubbed my face vigorously, adjusted my mood before entering the room.

I didn't want my negative emotions to be exposed in front of my daughter.

The room was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Yuanyuan lay on the hospital bed, her face was thin, the rosy cheeks of the past had lost their luster, becoming pale and transparent.

Like a fragile doll.

Our daughter heard the content of the call but didn't know what happened. She shyly asked me:

"Mommy, is it because I wasn't good, that made daddy angry?"

Seeing our daughter's timid and wronged expression, my heart ached, I quickly explained, "No, Yuanyuan is the best child!"

"Daddy just doesn't know that Yuanyuan is sick."

I carefully rubbed Yuanyuan's cheek, telling her she would be discharged soon.

Yuanyuan looked forward to the future, nodded and said to me, "After I get better, I want to take a family photo with daddy and mommy, so other children won't laugh at me for being a fatherless child."

Listening to my daughter's words, my heart ached, I realized, since my husband became infatuated with Jiang Fei, we haven't taken a family photo in three years.
