When True Love Returned, I Stepped Aside for the Mistress

3

During that time, I worked in a company during the day, sold wine in a bar at night, and tutored on weekends. Although it was hard and tiring, I didn't think about what Lucy proposed.

It was not until half a month later that the nurse in the hospital called me, saying that my brother's condition worsened and needed emergency surgery.

However, the money I had was far from enough to cover the surgery costs. I worked so hard, but it was only enough to cover his daily medical expenses.

At that moment, I began considering what Lucy said, and I didn't think about it for long. Immediately, I found the phone number and called her.

After the call was connected, I asked with difficulty, "Is the thing you said before still valid?"

On the other end of the phone, Lucy smiled happily and replied, "Of course yes."

On that night, Lucy came to me with an agreement. After signing the agreement, I received a sum of money in my account at once.

I put away the agreement and rushed to the hospital immediately. I knew that I was no longer Erica from now on, for I had sold myself.

The next day, Lucy's housekeeper came to pick me up from the Willis family. I had to become her completely before I married Otto in her place.

During this time in Willis' villa, I had to study her every move and remember the details of her date with Otto.

Half a month later, I went to see Otto on behalf of Lucy for the first time.

That day, I found out that I was going to marry a man in a wheelchair.

Yet, Otto was not born in a wheelchair. He was just in a serious car accident two months ago.

Back then, he was out on a date with Lucy, and a van hit their car on the road.

To protect her who was sitting in the passenger seat, Otto was seriously injured.

Under his protection, Lucy was only slightly injured, while Otto was unlucky. The doctor said that his legs were crushed by heavy objects and he might not be able to walk normally.

At that time, Lucy and Otto had already set a date for their wedding.

Watching Otto sitting in a wheelchair, Lucy wanted to break off the engagement, so she asked me for help.

Another reason why Lucy broke off the engagement was because it was rumored in Cupia that Otto could no longer walk, so he would not become the heir to the Grant Group.

It was said that the heir of the Grant family was replaced by Otto's cousin.

Originally, the two people of Willis and Grant families married for business reasons, so Lucy didn't have much love for Otto. Now that he was disabled, she really didn't want to get married. She couldn't imagine how to spend the rest of her life with such a man.

But unluckily, the Willis family couldn't cancel the engagement directly. Otherwise, they would be accused of being heartless by the people in Cupia.

Thinking about it for a long time, Lucy came up with the idea of having me marry in her place. It could not only preserve the reputation of her family, but also ensure her own happiness for the rest of her life.

However, she never thought that she would regret it one day.

That day was the first time I went to pick up Otto from the hospital on behalf of Lucy.

In the hospital, Otto was delighted to see me. He held my hand and said with a smile, "Lucy, thank you for staying with me. Believe me, I will get better soon."

When Otto looked at me, with a twinkle in his eyes, and his hands were big and warm. I was a little uncomfortable with having physical contact with him, but I didn't want to push his hand away.
