Suddenly, Rosy jerked and shrank into my embrace.
Aya, upon seeing this, became even more elated.
She deliberately bent down, bringing her face close to Rosy’s.
“Let me tell you the truth. There were quite a few hearts that were a match at that time. But your dear father, in order to ensure the surgery went smoothly, carefully picked and chose. He specifically selected the heart of a five–year–old child, saying that a younger age meant lower surgical risks and more safety.”
She extended her hand, making a pretense

of trying to touch Rosy’s face. “Selina, look. Your Rosy’s heart is beating so powerfully and fittingly in my Cupid’s chest.”
I swung my arm and, with a resounding “slap, landed a fierce slap across Aya’s face.
Aya staggered from the force of the slap, nearly losing her balance and falling to the ground.
She clutched her stinging cheek, her eyes bulging out as if they were about to pop.
“Selina, you crazy woman! How dare you hit me? Fine! Since you’re so ungrateful, I’ll lay it all out for you today! You’ve always been feeling dizzy and as weak as a noodle, right? That bastard Loren lied to you, saying he was transfusing blood to Rosy. Bullshit! In fact, he’s been drawing your blood time and time again to save Cupid. He’s been using

you as a personal blood bank, sucking you dry until you’re on the verge of dying from anemia!”
“You and that little brat of yours, in Loren’s eyes, are nothing but a ‘body resource bank‘ set up for us!”
Rosy, trembling with fear in my arms, finally reached her limit.
She suddenly wriggled free from my embrace and charged towards Aya like an enraged little beast “Bad woman, shut up! Don’t you dare talk about my mom! Don’t
dare hurt her!”

Caught off guard by Rosy’s sudden outburst, Aya’s face flickered with a moment of panic, which was quickly replaced by fury.
She lashed out viciously, seizing Rosy’s arm

with an iron–like grip, twisting it forcefully as she snarled, “You little brat, still have the guts to fight back? I’ll teach you a good lesson!”
I rushed forward immediately, on the verge of pushing Aya away.
Just at that moment, Loren, having just settled Cupid, entered the door.
“Aya, why haven’t you gone downstairs yet?”
Aya promptly released Rosy and took a few steps back.
She deliberately slipped and feigned a fall, her face contorting into a pained expression.
At the sight of this, Cupid instantly darted to Loren’s side, hugging his leg and wailing, “Rosy bullied me, and her mom bullied my

mom too!”
Loren’s face darkened in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, he strode briskly up to Rosy and swung his hand, delivering a resounding slap.
Rosy’s small body was sent staggering to the side, and a vivid red handprint rapidly appeared on her cheek.
Rosy stared at Loren in shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought hard to hold them back.
I scrambled to my feet from the ground, looking at Loren in utter disbelief and screaming, “What on earth are you doing?”
