Chapter 1

My husband was away on a business trip, and after I recovered from my injuries, I secretly went behind his back to driving school to learn how to drive.

A young female student accidentally hit me, and she looked at me with disgust. "You’re already this old, and your eyesight is this bad. Why are you still trying to learn how to drive?"

The girl was beautiful, and she was the first to make a big deal out of it, so the instructor and the other students all took her side.

My two toes were shattered in a crush fracture, and I was in unbearable pain, so I insisted on calling the police.

The girl’s mother rushed over and slapped a card into my hand.

"Isn’t this just about money?"

"Is ten grand enough?"

"Take it as charity! My monthly allowance is over a million, and I can’t be bothered to argue with someone like you."

There was a time when I would not have cared about this little bit of money.

But after my car accident injury and the revocation of my driver’s license, I had been resting at home all this time.

The company collapsed during that period, and my husband alone was responsible for the family’s expenses and debts, while there was no telling where my daughter’s college tuition would come from.

I gritted my teeth and reached down to pick up the card from the ground, but the girl’s mother stepped on my hand.

"If you want the money, apologize to my daughter first, and promise you’ll never show up in front of her again and bother her."

I was so humiliated I didn’t know how to answer.

Just then, another figure hurried over to the girl.

"Mia, who’s trying to scam you?"

"Dad’s got your back!"

The man followed the girl’s gaze and looked at me.

The next second, the cold rage on his face drained away, leaving him deathly pale.

My humiliating gaze turned to shock.

How had my husband, who was supposed to be on a business trip out of town, suddenly come back and become someone else’s father?
