Chapter 4

The three members of the Krueger’s family quickly left the box.

When the ambulance arrived, my father was already dying.

On the way to the hospital, my mother held my father's hand and cried bitterly, “I have long said that no matter what the marriage is, the other party will at least consider the reputation of the Dudley family and take care of you. 

“You insisted on finding someone who is not a good match. Today, it is obvious that their family is here to drain our fortune.

“Your father and I can still protect you now, but when you get married and we get old, it will be all over. He will take your money and find women to have sons with and you won't be able to stop him.

“This misfortune must not be opened. If it happens once, there will be a second one. If you use your infertility as a handle, you will suffer a lot of grievances in the future.”

I curled up on the side, my heart aching to the point of being almost numb.

I could not help but recall the past when I met Rod.

At that time, he was just a Project Manager of a small company.

The future was uncertain.

I was responsible for connecting with him on business matters.

After hearing my identity, he immediately started pursuing me.

I had always felt inferior because of my physical disability, but he did not despise my weakness and was willing to give me a future.

The gifts he gave me were cheap, but they showed his thoughtfulness.

He would cook porridge for me when I had a stomach ache and take me to eat at a roadside stall when the project was successfully signed.

I thought this was ordinary happiness, that I had found true love.

But in the end, it was all in vain. He was betraying me from the very beginning.

Every word between the lines said that he did not care, but every sentence reflects his grievance and concession.

Under his influence, I always felt indebted and kept giving to him.

I did not realize it until that day if I did not need this kind of shackles in the name of salvation.

It was not my fault that I could not have children, it was his deception that was the sin.

The ambulance arrived at the hospital quickly and my father's operation lasted five hours.

During this period, Rod sent me a message. He even added an aggrieved kitten expression with apologetic text.

[Don't mind what happened today. My parents meant well. They are the elders after all. It would be embarrassing for them if you contradicted them before they even entered the house.]

[Change the name of the villa to my parents, as compensation. As for our wedding house, let my uncle and aunt buy you another one. I think that villa is nice, so let's buy one in the same neighborhood. This way it will be convenient for you to take care of my parents after you get married.]

I looked at the screen and my expression turned completely cold.

I did not reply and just deleted his contact information.

After the operation, my father survived.

The doctor specifically advised us to not let him be exposed to any stimulation.

I made an appointment with my mother to take turns to take care of him at night.

While keeping vigil, I opened my phone and deleted all the photos with Rod.

The account that posted updates about our relationship was cancelled.

But the next morning, the news that the Dudley family's only daughter was infertile became a hot topic.

Rod’s mother filmed a video while crying, “What a sin! We only found out the day before the engagement that she was born infertile. A disabled person actually asked for a dowry of 25,000 dollars. Isn't this a scam?

“It's not that I don't want to give it, I just want my son to manage the money, but they don't agree. They also scold us for being country people and ignorant, saying that it is a blessing for our family if their daughter marries into our family.

“Even if his daughter is infertile, I will have to serve her tea and water, wash clothes and cook for her after she gets married, otherwise my son will be kicked out of the house. Everyone, please give us your opinion. How can this be allowed? Are these people still human?”

I was so angry when I saw the face of Rod’s mother on the screen.

While I was lost in thought, my father, who had just woken up, snatched the phone away from me.

After just one look, his heart stopped beating.

Sharp alarms sounded from all the instruments around me.
