Chapter 1

At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter,I will never forgive you!”

Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital.

Philip hung his head low in shame without attempting any explanation. “Hmph!” Wynn snorted coldly. The dissatisfaction and contempt in her eyes were visible. Philip stood aside with his head down in silence like a kid who was caught misbehaving. He stole a few glances at the woman standing a few meters away from him, the woman he used to call his wife. The woman with whom he had already signed the divorce papers could officially be separated from him at any time. Wynn Johnston was gorgeous. Her features were defined, her figure tall and slim. She was well-mannered and educated, once the prettiest girl in their university. She had unexpectedly fallen in love with Philip,abruptly gotten married, and given birth to his daughter, Mila Clarke. However, life after marriage was not as ideal. Philip’s career did not go well, and his business ended up failing. His daughter even had congenital heart disease, which drained all of their savings, and now he had to make a living by doing food delivery services. On the other hand, Wynn was a deputy general manager of a marketing department in a public-listed company. One of her parents was a section chief, the other a retired teacher. It was safe to say that Philip did not have much status in the Johnston family, and for the past two years, he was almost non-existent.

And because of Philip, Wynn had fallen out with her family that her parents were not willing to provide them any support.Both the elders had told them solemnly that they would assist in their granddaughter’s treatment funds only if Philip and Wynn divorced. After the divorce, the child would belong to the Johnston family. This matter had dragged on for a year. The emergency room’s door was pushed open, and Philip saw his daughter being pushed out. He wanted to rush over, but Wynn had already gotten there first. He stopped in his tracks and watched his adorable little girl from afar. Little Mila was wearing a respirator, but her big eyes were bright like obsidian gems.

brushing away the wisps of hair from her forehead, smiling as he said, “Papa’s here.” “Mama, please don’t fight with Papa. It’s Mila’s fault;I wanted Papa to take me to the amusement park.” Little Mila, who was only three-years-old, was speaking feebly for her father. Wynn smiled and answered, “Okay, Mama will listen to you and not argue with Papa. “Philip Clarke, pay the hospitalization fee.” A cold voice interrupted Philip’s conversation with his daughter. Philip glanced at Wynn, but she only shot him an

If you can’t pay up, then proceed with discharge.” After that, she turned around to ignore him. Saying another word to him made her feel disgusted. How could she bully someone just because they’re poor? Philip clenched his fists tightly in a fury, feeling bitter. The moment he turned around, he saw Wynn standing behind him radiating a cold aura, hatred was apparent in her frosty expression. “Wynnie, don’t worry, I’ll go and gather some funds now.” Philip forced a smile. However, both their savings were already dried up. Tears poured down from Wynn’s eyes as her hands balled into fists. “Philip Clarke, if you’re still a man, go and beg my parents!” “I…” Philip froze. His words were stuck in his throat. “Hah!” Wynn scoffed as she

Juan Parker was his best buddy at university. But ever since Philip and Wynn got married, they became enemies because Juan, too, was in love with Wynn. “I asked him to come.” Wynn suddenly appeared and walked past Philip. With an apologetic smile, she said to Juan, “Brother Juan, I’m so sorry to trouble you again.” Upon seeing Wynn,the mocking expression on Juan’s face turned into a generous smile as he said, “It’s okay, I’m Mila’s uncle after all. This is for Mila. I’ll go and pay the bills now.” Juan then shot Philip a

Thank you!” “What’s there to thank? We’re brothers, after all.” Howard laughed. “I object!” There was a loud bang, and the door of the rented house was suddenly pushed open.
