Zack tied me to the bed with restraints, his tone full of threats:
“Enough, Lily. The fire was just an accident, it had nothing to do with Amy. You can call the police a hundred times, it’s useless.”
“Be a good girl. We can have more children in the future.”
Zack confiscated all my means of communication and confined me at home.
He even had my own parents come to persuade me to give in.
That couple looked at me struggling desperately to the point of reopening my wounds, as coldly as if looking at a stranger:
“We arranged for you to marry into the Potter family to maintain our company’s partnership with them.”
“It was just a child who couldn’t even talk yet. Who told you to make such a big fuss?”
“Zack has already promised to have another heir with you. You better know when to stop.”
Seeing how the two of them looked down on me condescendingly, I completely broke down:
“My daughter died for no reason! I want Amy to pay the price – how is that making a fuss?”
“Zack clearly knows as well as I do that Amy set the fire, but he want
My mom scoffed coldly:
to cover for Amy and let my daughter die in vain!”
“So what if Zack saw Amy start the fire with his own eyes? My dear daughter, don’t be naive.”
“He won’t allow a murder scandal in his family. If you were smart, you’d turn a blind eye to his and Amy’s affairs from now on.”

With eyes full of sympathy, he took me to get treatment for my injuries.
After I woke up, he offered several prime burial plots, letting me personally choose a feng shui treasure land for my daughter to rest.
My daughter’s funeral, which had been suppressed by the Potter family, was held grandly with James‘ help.
Touching the words “Daisy, daughter of Lily Evans” engraved on the tombstone, I cried to the point of collapse.
James supported me and took out divorce papers:
“Lily, I’ve negotiated with Zack for you. Once you sign this, you’ll have no more connection to him.”
“From now on, Daisy will be only your child.”
It wasn’t until after the divorce cooling–off period that I learned
Zack was willing to sign the divorce papers because James had given up half of his shares.

On the day I received the divorce certificate, James gave me a large bouquet of bright sunflowers and knelt on one knee with a diamond ring:
“Lily, your new life is beginning. Will you give me a chance to be your support?”
Maybe it was because the sunlight that day was too beautiful, or James‘ gaze was too sincere and passionate.
I accepted his pursuit.
After marrying James I felt the warmth of home I had always dreamed of
