The next day, I received a document from Ethan.
It contained a transfer agreement for most of his assets, along with a lengthy apology letter.
In the letter, he detailed the pain and remorse he felt after learning the truth.
Every word revealed his determination to make amends.
I looked at these with a cold smile.
At that moment, my daughter came over.
She saw the letter in my hand and curiously asked, “Mom, what’s that?”
“Nothing, Sweetie. Mommy will always protect you.”
However, things didn’t end there.
To gain my and my daughter’s forgiveness, Ethan drove my sister–in–law out of the Fu family.
When my sister–in–law learned that Ethan had transferred a lot of assets to me, she went completely insane.
She began frantically searching for me, wanting to know what I had said to Ethan.
Between the lines, I could discern his resolve to make things right.
I glanced at the letter and let out a dry laugh.
Just then, my daughter approached.
Seeing the letter in my hand, she asked out of curiosity, “Mom, what’s this?”
“Nothing, Sweetie. I’ll always protect you,” I reassured her.

However, the situation wasn’t resolved so easily.
In his effort to earn forgiveness from me and our daughter, Ethan went so far as to expel his sister from the family.
When she learned that Ethan had transferred significant assets to me, she completely lost her composure.
Desperate to confront me about what I had said to Ethan, she began searching for me frantically.
One day, she cornered me downstairs at my building.
Her eyes were wild with hatred and madness.
“It was you! You must be the one stirring up trouble, trying to ruin my relationship with my brother!”
“It’s not me ruining your relationship. Your own actions did that. Don’t forget what you did to my daughter and me.”
“Hahaha, you’re such a fool. Your daughter deserved to die!”
At that moment, my daughter stepped out from behind me.
Ethan’s sister screamed as if she had seen a ghost, catching the attention of passersby.
Startled by her scream, my daughter clung to me even more tightly.
I held her close and glared fiercely at Ethan’s sister.
“Enough! Stop scaring her!”
But she seemed possessed, oblivious to the crowd’s curious looks.
“No way, she was supposed to be dead! What kind of witchcraft did you use?”
She continued her rant, lunging towards us with wild gestures.
In that tense moment, a strong arm reached out and grabbed her wrist.
I turned to see Ethan, his face filled with anger.
“Ethan, have you lost your mind? Look at yourself, you’re acting like a lunatic!”
“Brother, why are you doing this to me? It’s all her fault; she’s the one sowing discord between us!”
“That’s enough! You committed unforgivable acts. You harmed Sweetie and forged a paternity test, making me wrongly blame them for years. This is your own doing!”
Upon hearing Ethan’s words, she seemed to deflate, as if all her energy had left her.
Her eyes went blank, and she murmured repeatedly, “Why did it turn out like this, why…”
Ethan gave her a cold glance, devoid of sympathy.
He turned to me and our daughter with a soft voice, “I’m sorry I was late. Are you both okay?”
By then, onlookers were whispering and pointing.
I didn’t want my daughter to be further frightened.
I told Ethan, “Let’s go home.”
Ethan nodded and carefully escorted us back.
At home, Ethan looked at our daughter with eyes full of regret and affection.

“Sweetie, I’m sorry. I was wrong before. Can you forgive me?”
Our daughter looked at him, eyes full of fear.
She shook her head vehemently, hiding behind me.
Ethan lowered his head in disappointment, his eyes red.
I watched my daughter with concern.
Something seemed off about her.
