Annalise continued, “I don’t know what happened back then. I also don’t know how Trevor disappeared when he was young. However, his entire family was killed by someone. It was definitely not an accident. It was premeditated.” Lee tightened his grip on the stone table. He felt suffocated. He didn’t want to remember what had happened back then, but he had to.. Back then, Lee, Heather, and Kalyan had been living abroad. In that country, everyone was friendly and kind, whether they were small or large families. The family cared about each other and loved each other. The families in that country were harmonious and supportive. Initially, Lee did not tell his family about his marriage and that he had a child with Heather. It was because his father had mentioned many times. that he must marry a daughter of a higher-class. family. Lee had been expanding his project overseas and met Heather at a restaurant. At that time, Heather was still a student.

Her family background was not good, but her academic results were good. The school fought for an exchange spot for her. Her tuition fees relied on student loans and scholarships, and her living expenses depended on her working in a restaurant. Lee remembered that the first time he saw Heather, he was attracted by her clear and determined gaze. After meeting Heather a few times, Lee took the initiative to chat with her. Knowing that Lee was also from Chanaea, Heather was passionate about him. Every time she saw him, she would smile until her eyes curved into crescents. Her unguarded attitude towards Lee aroused his strong desire to protect her. He had told her to be wary of people when she was outside. There was a bright side and a dark side to the world. Heather smiled and said, “I know! But I think you’re a good person.”

Heather shared her story with Lee. She was sincere, innocent, lovely, optimistic, positive, and full of hope for the future. Such a beautiful woman instantly won Lee’s heart. He could not control himself but fell for Heather. Lee had always loved to work. However, he pushed the project to his executive assistant. He was focused on pursuing Heather. However, Heather was busier than him. She was busy with class and work. Lee told Heather not to work part-time anymore. She just had to work hard to

complete her studies. Heather did not agree. She said she didn’t have the money. Lee was willing to help her financially, but she refused. She wanted to earn money to support herself.

Heather did not hide her poor status at all, nor did she feel inferior because she was poor. She did not feel embarrassed working in a restaurant. On the contrary, she thought working in a restaurant had many benefits. Apart from getting paid, she could also practice speaking and get to know people from all over the world. It was helpful for her to know people and broaden her horizons. Occasionally, Heather would meet guests who would make things difficult for her. However, she felt that this was a good experience in her life. She could see the good side of everything. Lee was really attracted by her spirit. The more he got to know Heather, the more he liked her He turned from liking her to loving her. Their feelings for each other were deep. Lee respected everything about Heather. If she wanted to work at the restaurant, he would go there and accompany her.

A year later, Heather was finally moved by Lee. She quit her job at the restaurant and came to his company to be his assistant. Initially, Lee thought it would take Heather a long time to get used to it. However, she was smart and quick-witted. She got a hang of every task quickly. She accompanied Lee to discuss projects with clients. She was neither servile nor overbearing. Instead, she was magnanimous and did everything well. The second year they met, Heather successfully graduated from university and obtained a university degree. Then, Lee asked Heather to marry him. He was prepared that she would reject him. Because Lee knew Heather had ideals and ambitions. Ple knew that she wanted to make a name for herself. There was a high chance that she did not want to be tied down by marriage. He would also respect all her decisions. However, to his surprise, Heather accepted his proposal.

“I can still work after I get married,” Heather said. “I’m greedy. I want both work and your love.” They were married and registered abroad. After marriage, Heather was pregnant. Lee asked Heather, “Do you want to keep the child?” He was afraid that she didn’t want to keep the child. Heather looked at Lee in shock. “Of course I do. Don’t you want a child?” She was as happy as a fool to know that he wanted

happy a child too. The next year, they gave birth to a child. There was a black birthmark on the child’s ankle. Heather said it was because the child liked a warm and loving family like theirs and rushed all the way to them. Thus, he was injured and left a mark.

Heather said her greatest wish was for her child to live a good life and be safe and sound. She named the child Kalyan. It had a meaning of wealth and health. She also said the black birthmark on Kalyan’s ankle was like an obsidian. She said Kalyan would be as bright as obsidian. With a child, Lee was no longer afraid of his father’s objections. When Kalyan was more than a year old, his overseas project came to an end. He planned to bring his wife and child home to his family. Henee, Lee called home in advance. Afterward, they returned to the country and arrived at the airport. Heather let the nanny take care of Kalyan because she was tired. The nanny carried Kalyan and bought a toy. However, Kalyan was lost. A one-year-old and three-month-old child disappeared just like that. They checked all the surveillance cameras and searched the entire airport but could not find Kalyan. The nanny cried herself hoarse. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

At that time, Lee suddenly fainted from anger. Later, he was diagnosed with leukemia. Heather had not come to the hospital for a long time. Lee was extremely anxious and called her, but her phone was switched off. He guessed that Heather could not stand the pain of losing her child and went to look for the child alone. He wanted to leave the hospital to look for Heather, but he was sick and could not get up at all. He fell several times from the bed to the floor. It was the nurse who carried him back to the bed. Lee hated his body for being so useless. Suddenly, he got a compatible bone marrow. He was overjoyed. The successful match of the bone marrow meant that he would recover. He could control this body. He could stand up and search for his son with Heather.

Lee believed that he would definitely find his son. His surgery was a success. Two weeks later, he could get out of bed. He finally saw Heather. Heather told Lee calmly that she had met someone else. They had fallen in love with each other six months ago. Because she had a son with Lee, she rejected her new love. Now that her son was gone, she wanted to start a new relationship. Heather wished Lee

would have a safe and happy future. Lee pulled Heather and asked her to stay. Heather shook off her hand. She told Lee there was no going back. That if they lived together again, she’d be forever immersed in the pain of losing her son. She wanted relief. She wanted a new love and a new life.

Lee did not dare to reach out to Heather again. Tears streamed down his face as he watched her leave. He couldn’t even protect his own child. How could he have the shame to ask her to stay? He’d collapsed again. Then, he’d transferred all his employees back into the country to took for his child. Lee was living miserably. Day after day, year after year, just to wait for news of his child. The most obvious characteristic of Kalyan was the birthmark on his ankle! His subordinates found a child with a birthmark every few months. However, none of them was his child. Hope after hope and disappointment after disappointment. Lee lived like this for 20 years.
