The night was silent.
After sensing the person beside him breathing steadily, Samuel Johnson slowly opened his eyes.
The moonlight, faintly visible like flowing water, leaked a small patch through the curtains and landed on Amanda Smith's cheek, making her peaceful and gentle face look very delicate.
He gazed intently at Amanda, who was already asleep, then reached out and held her tightly.
A sense of panic and fear emerged in his heart— the happiness and tranquility of this moment were so precious to him that he was reluctant to let them go.
He truly wanted to spend his life with her...
But he had never imagined that a mistake from the past could one day lead him to regret his whole life.
The face that appeared in his mind, almost a carbon copy of his own as a child, sent chills all over his body. He knew that child was the key to shattering his peaceful life.
He would lose Amanda and all the happiness he now had, all because of that child.
