The Conspiracy of My Husband's Family
Chapter 3
It wasn't until the next afternoon that Darien woke up after the anesthesia wore off, with his parents waiting beside him.
Originally overwhelmed by the physical pain and emotional anguish, Darien opened his eyes not long after hearing their voices.
Smiling, Marely said to him, "My dear son, you're awake? Do you want some
soup? It's nutritious and cooked by me!
"It's good for your health, son. We came as soon as we heard the news, unlike your wife, who doesn't seem to care about your life at all. So, you need to recover soon and be careful not to be harmed by her."
His father Bailey added at just the right moment.
In my previous life, when Darien woke up, he cried for a whole day and night because his legs were amputated, leaving him disabled for life.
As expected, in this life, seeing his legs were gone, Darien covered his face and began to sob.
"Dad, Mom, what happened to me? Why did I lose my legs?"
"Don't cry, my dear son. We are here. We'll hire a nurse to take care of you for the rest of your life. The compensation money is enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives…"
When Marely mentioned "family", she deliberately left me out.
I didn't care. Darien had been hit by a car while running a red light, so he was partly at fault, and the compensation was only around 120 thousand dollars.
120 thousand dollars might be enough for Darien alone, but to support their entire family, including the mistress and her child, it wouldn't last long.
It was the same in my previous life. Once the compensation money ran out, they turned to me, expecting my family to support them.
I stood by coldly, watching as these people comfort Darien.
As Marely got more emotional, the more displeased she became with me, showing her disdain directly.
"Look at your wife. You got into a car accident and she still prioritizes work. A woman like you married into our family was truly our bad luck!"
"Exactly!" Bailey chimed in. "Your husband got into an accident, and you still have the nerve to just stand there! A woman like you really doesn't know how to be a proper wife!"
They kept scolding me for a long time, eventually telling me to get out.
I was more than happy to oblige, lowering my head with a faint smile.
They didn't know that I already had a plan to leave this family.
I always had a good memory, and I remembered everything from my past life! Shortly after Darien was hospitalized, his mistress quietly came to see him. Initially, she was planning to break up with him, but when she learned about the large amount of compensation, she suddenly showed her "deep love" for him.
Despite Darien's disability, these people were still clinging to him, all for that compensation money.
I gave them plenty of time to reunite, deliberately leaving the hospital. Earlier, when I went downstairs, I bought a hidden camera and placed it in a discreet corner of the hospital room, so everything was set up perfectly.
Only by obtaining evidence of Darien's infidelity during our marriage could the court force a divorce and leave him with nothing. In this life, they could never harm me!
