How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 348

What pissed Darren off the most wasn’t the fact that they had a son they paraded around in the spotlight back in Zosteylor, but that they kept an adopted child close while they dumped their own flesh and blood, Cassandra, in a hospital like she was nothing.

The irony of it all was that Darren had actually believed Maximilian’s words about going to find Cassandra right away.

The so–called “right away” they mentioned only came after everyone had waited. for Thomas’s surgery to be a success. By then, the best time had already slipped

They were all the main cause of Cassandra’s tragedies over the years.

He had been concerned about them, just like Maximilian had been, all these years, only to find out that they were living it up in Zosteylor without a care in the world as if they had completely forgotten that they even had a daughter named Cassandra.

It was shocking to everyone that he had ended up as Zosteylor’s prince consort after so many years out of sight. People left comments about this issue online.

[Is it just me, or is anyone else wondering why he never went back home? Is
