LOGINWhen a car struck me and sent me flying, blood sprayed everywhere. It resulted in ruptured organs, so I begged my wife, Lucy Hathaway, to take me to the hospital. But she told me to endure it because her younger uncle, Alan Cooper, had surgery that day. To stop me from applying to a foreign institution, Lucy went so far as to lock me in a cold storage room kept at negative twenty degrees Celsius. “The chance to travel abroad has to go to Alan. He has nothing, while you already have all of my love. You should give him your future! “The chill in the storage room will help with your wounds. After Alan finishes his surgery and submits his application, you can go to the hospital.” The pain from my wounds drove me to the brink of death. I even gave up my dignity and begged Lucy to take me to the hospital. Instead, she kicked me to the ground. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to pull. Aren’t you pretending to be seriously injured so that you can go to the hospital and stop Alan’s surgery? That way, he’ll lose his eligibility to apply for the institution. “How could you be so despicable?! You’re willing to hurt yourself just to put on an act and compete with Alan. You made your bed, so lie in it!” I tried to explain to her weakly, “I’m not pretending. The car accident came out of nowhere. I never wanted to go abroad in the first place. I just want to live a good life with you. I swear. Please save me.” Lucy pulled her pant leg out of my desperate grip and snorted. “You’re so full of schemes. Who knows if you’re trying to manipulate me again? I’ll come back for you after Alan finishes his surgery and submits his application.” After Lucy had had enough of staring into and admiring Alan’s eyes as he regained his sight, she accompanied him to submit his application. She finally remembered me again after all that and ordered her secretary to take me to the hospital. However, her secretary said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Fisherman has passed away from the car accident…”

You’re getting off easy with Hathaway Group’s bankruptcy. I honestly wish I could tear you apart piece by piece and make you suffer everything Larry went through!”I patted my mother’s back in an effort to calm her down.Lucy’s eyes were swollen and teary. Like a dog begging for mercy, she crawled over to me and pleaded, “Larry, I came to take you home this time because I wanted to treat you right. “I let greed cloud my judgment before this, and that made me treat you so terribly. When I found out you had died, I wished that I could die with you. I can’t live without you! “Please forgive me this once, okay? My grandfather founded Hathaway Group at a young age. I can’t be the one who lets it fall apart.”I looked at her with
Just as I was about to leave, Lucy grabbed my wrist tightly.“Larry, I won’t let you leave me again. My mission today is to bring you back with me.“You have no idea how much it hurt when I thought I had lost you. I missed you so much that I thought I was going crazy! “This time, I won’t back down no matter how hard you try to provoke me.” Seriously? Who was she trying to earn sympathy from with her despicable act of devotion? I forcefully shook her hand off my wrist.“Who do you think you are? What makes you think you have the right?”She snorted coldly.“I’m the one who decides whether I have the right!”I was about to roll my eyes again when she grabbed me and pulled me toward her.“I’m taking you home right now!”She was incredibly strong. With my crippled legs, I was no match for her.The commotion soon drew the attention of the other employees.When they saw what was happening, their eyes widened in disbelief.Those who recovered from their shock quickly stepped
It was Lucy! I waved my hand to signal for everyone else in the conference room to leave.The moment Lucy saw me, her eyes instantly turned bloodshot.Rushing over, she grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward her.“Larry, why did you fake your death? Do you have any idea how worried I was? I knew it. You value your life too much to actually let yourself die.”Then, her expression turned serious as she looked around the room. “How did you get in here? Do you realize that ordinary people aren’t allowed in this place? Even I have a hard time getting access.”Then, as if she had suddenly run out of patience, she waved her hand dismissively.“Forget it. I don’t care how you managed to get in here. You’re coming home with me now.”She looked down at my legs. “Did you hurt your legs? Why are you limping?“Larry, you never should have run away on your own. I told you I’d come for you.”She turned around and tried to take me away.At the mention of my legs, the hatred I had buried d
“In a way, it’s a blessing. At least you didn’t lose your life. God’s been merciful to you.“It’s okay. We can get you prosthetic legs.” My mother let out a soft sigh and felt pained on my behalf.“But if you’re heartbroken because of that woman, there’s really no need to be!“I never agreed to you being with her in the first place. You were so stubborn that you would rather cut ties with me than give her up.”I looked up. Seeing my mother’s aged face after so many years, I could not stop myself from crying.“Mom, I was wrong. Please forgive me,” I said through my sobs.“I’m not heartbroken because of her. I just couldn’t handle losing my legs...”My mother gently wiped away my tears.“Silly child. You’re my only precious son. How could I ever refuse to forgive you?”Then, a fierce look appeared in her eyes, and she clenched her fists. “Lucy actually dared to hurt you like this! She must have a death wish!“Don’t worry, Larry. I’ll make sure she pays for what she did to you
