Chapter 3 A flicker of panic flashed through Dylans eyes .
Junie , why are you here ? Dont overthink it .
Tatum is just a volunteer at this orphanage .
She happened to be here today to check on things and discuss Hopes adoption with me … Tatum stood up , holding Hope in her arms , and waved at me .
Junie , long time no see .
Sitting in my wheelchair , I smiled and nodded , suppressing the pain in my chest .
Its fine , I was just wandering around .
Since youre busy , I wont bother you .
Ill wait in the car .
With that , I turned and left , Dylan thought I was angry and hurried after me , explaining over and over again .
Dont misunderstand .
She often volunteers here .
The kids in the orphanage all call her Mommy Once the adoption process is complete , Ill explain everything to Hope .
Watching him panic, I suddenly wanted to laugh .
To bring this child into his home , he went so far as to stage an accident that left me crippled .
Now that he had what he wanted , who was he putting on this pitiful act for ? Dont worry , Im not someone who makes a fuss over nothing .
Go ahead with the paperwork Ill wait in the car .
He breathed a sigh of relief , watching me return to the car .
Every passing employee looked at me with eyes full of mockery .

Dylan was unconcerned , patting the tiny crown on Hopes head .

I returned to my room and tore up every gift Dylan had given me over the past five years , tossing them into the trash .
Just the trash can tipped over , Tatum suddenly appeared before me .
With a swift kick , she overturned my wheelchair .
Pain Through my body , cold sweat breaking out all over .
But she only smiled down at me .
Junie , being a cripple must be painful , huh ? So many years have passed , and youre still just as useless .
You watched as your own wedding was given to me , as your husband brought my daughter home .
And what did you do ? Nothing .
I almost feel sorry for you .
I struggled to get up .
But in the next second , Tatum suddenly fell backward , tumbling straight down the stairs .
Before I could react , Dylan had already caught her in his arms .
He looked at me , eyes burning with rage.
Junie , are you crazy ? Tatum came up to invite you to dinner out of kindness , and you attacked her ? Dylans parents glared at me in disgust .
