Chapter 2
Stephanie was woken up by the annoying alarm clock, and it was already bright outside.
She, with a splitting headache, slowly sat up from the bed, reached out to stop the alarm clock, and then her eyes searched the room for something. However, she realized that the room was empty except for herself.

He sneaked away!
How ruthless!
He promised a billion dollars, but nothing was left behind.
Suddenly, she noticed a note lying quietly on the bedside table.
Ha!
How interesting!
He actually dared to leave contact info, huh?
I'd show you some respect!
Stephanie couldn't help it. With anger swelling inside her, she dialed the number and made a call.
The phone had rung three times before it was picked up.
Without any formalities, she started cursing, "Sebastian, right?! Screw you! Pretending to be human but cold as a beast! I saved you, and this is how you treat me! What kind of person are you?! Even if you were disoriented at the time, you still slept with me!"
There was silence on the other end of the line
Stephanie got angrier as she continued, eventually crying from her own fury, "Do you have any clue what this means to me?! You ruined my life, you know that?! I haven't even had a boyfriend, never been in love, and then you slept with me! It's all destroyed! I won't let you off that easy, bastard!"
Stephanie shouted and cried into the phone, but there was no response from the other end.
She got angrier and angrier, finally burying her face in her hands, sobbing.
At last, a deep male voice on the other end said, "I can take responsibility."
Oh, that just pissed her off again.
"You take responsibility? How? Can you give me back what I lost? Can you?!" Shouted Stephanie. Bastard, he even had the nerve to say he would take responsibility! Stephanie felt like she couldn't catch her breath from her anger.
Then, from the other end, the guy said, "I can marry you."
"Who needs you to do that?! I don't even like you! Don't get ahead of yourself, just stay away from me!" Stephanie hung up the phone.
Then, in a fit of anger, she throwed the phone on the floor, but then only felt regret and quickly jumped out of bed to pick it up.
Fortunately, the phone wasn't broken.
Glancing at the time on the phone, it was already 11 AM.
Ignoring everything else, Stephanie jumped out of bed, got ready to go to the bathroom to freshen herself up, then headed to the hospital to bring lunch for her mom.
But as soon as she got out of bed, her legs went weak and she fell to the floor, almost tripping.
Right away, she hated that heartless guy named Sebastian even more.
At noon.
Not having time to cook for her mom, Stephanie grabbed a healthy light-tasted meal package and headed to the hospital.
Just as she was about to enter her mom's hospital room, she heard a sharp voice inside, "Marilyn Bishop, you wicked woman! If you want to die, then get on it the sooner the better! I'm telling you, we, the Klein family, will not pay a single dime for your medical bills! And don't think that after you die, the Klein family will take care of that kid! I warn you, stop calling Morton! He's my husband and has nothing to do with you! He won't recognize that child either!"
Stephanie was about to rush in when she heard her mom pleading tearfully, "Mrs. Klein, please... Steph is a child of the Klein family. When I die, if she doesn't return to the Kleins, where can she go..."
