Chapter 02

Axel keeps trying to get his voice out. However, his voice still didn't come out. Until suddenly he felt his throat hurt.

Not only that he also felt pain in both legs when he tried to move.

Realized that he could not make a sound and moved his legs. This immediately made Axel cry in shock and panic.

This also made Mrs. Anna and Mr. Casey feel very worried to see him.

“Albert, calm down, Son,” Mrs. Anna sobbed while holding Axel's hand tightly. Trying to calm him down.

Mr. Casey and Mrs. Anna then fell silent to let Axel vent his tears.

It wasn't until after five minutes that Axel stopped crying and started to calm down.

“Calm yourself, for now, Son. The doctor said you can't talk and can't walk for a while. You have severe damage to your vocal cords and legs.

This will only last temporarily. Once all your wounds are healed you will be able to talk and walk normally again.”

After hearing the explanation from his mother. Axel immediately remembered that he had been in a shipwreck with Albert.

He also remembers when Albert gave him his jacket because he felt cold.

Finally, Axel understood the reason his parents called him Albert he was found wearing Albert's jacket.

That's true.

Albert and Axel's positions have now been switched because of Albert's jacket that Axel was wearing during the accident.

Everyone now knows Axel is Albert and Albert is Axel.

“Mommy and Daddy feel very grateful because you were given safety by God,” sobbed Mr. Casey. “If you experience the same thing as Axel maybe Mommy and Daddy decided to kill ourselves because we couldn't live without you two.”

“Your little brother was found in the middle of the ocean in a very bad condition,” sobbed Mrs. Anna. “Now he lies in a coma and is very critical. The doctor said with great certainty that Axel's life would not be long. Axel will likely die soon.”

Axel immediately returned to crying in shock and panic when he heard the news that Albert's life would not be long.

Axel suddenly pounded the bed. He panicked even more because he was so worried about Albert's condition.

“Albert, don't cry, Son. Let's just pray that Axel can be as safe as you,” sobbed Mrs. Anna.

Mr. Casey and Mrs. Anna then tried to calm Axel down. However, Axel's panic was completely uncontrollable.

Mr. Casey then decided to run to find a doctor.

After the doctor came. The doctor immediately injected anesthetic into Axel. Until finally Axel lay back unconscious.

Time always goes on.

Axel wakes up after the anesthetic wears off.

This time he woke up to see Bella sleeping in a chair.

Axel then slowly changed his position to sit down.

Not long after that, he suddenly got an idea to take over Albert's life.

“Gosh! What just came to my mind?” said Axel in his heart. “Taking over Albert's life because everyone now knows I'm Albert? Don't be crazy Axel!”

Axel certainly felt that it was a very crazy idea and that he would not be able to do it.

However, a few minutes later he felt that the idea was a gift from God.

“Oh, my God, is this a gift from you? The doctor said that Albert would not have long to live. That means he will soon die.

So, there's nothing wrong with me taking over his life.

All this time I always wanted Albert's life because it was always better and happier than my life.

Yes, Axel, this is indeed an answer to your prayers all along. Soon you will be able to get the happiness that you have always dreamed of.”

Axel finally decided to carry out his idea.

He will take over his brother's life. Living life with the name Albert Steven, becomes the successor to the Steven Group company, and becomes Bella's husband.

After completing a college education. Axel feels his life is very sad. While he saw Albert's life always filled with happiness.

As the first child, Albert is believed to be the successor to the family company. While Axel is entrusted with continuing the family hotel business.

Of course, this is an injustice for Axel.

All this time Axel also had to endure the pain of seeing Bella marry Albert.

Axel has loved Bella since the first time he met her in college.

Axel feels that his life is getting sadder when his parents match him up with Eliza. The woman he never really loved.

However, he has to accept an arranged marriage with Eliza and pretend to love her. Because if not, his parents threatened not to give him any inheritance.

“Honey, thank goodness you're awake.” Bella immediately smiled happily and hugged Axel happily.

A hug from the woman he loved so much certainly made Axel feel very happy.

“I ordered Mom and Dad to rest because I'm really worried about their condition that keeps crying over you and Axel.”

Bella then gave Axel a notebook and pen.

“Here, honey. Please write down what you want to say.”

Axel took the pen and book and then wrote a word, “I want to meet Axel.”

Bella then went to ask one of the nurses to help her move Axel into a wheelchair that had been prepared in the room where Axel was being treated.

Now Axel and Bella are in the room where Albert is being treated.

They saw that Albert's entire body was covered in bandages and there was Axel Steven's name on Albert's bed.

“I'm sorry, Albert,” said Axel in his heart with a feeling of no longer worrying about Albert. “The ship accident that we experienced was destiny from God as an answer to my prayers so far that I want happiness.”

Axel who already intends to take over Albert's life now hopes that Albert will die soon so that his plan can run perfectly.

“Your time in this world is not long. If you are gone, someone else will take your place. So, let your brother take your place.

I promise you, Brother. I will carry out my duties as heir to our family company very well. I also promise that I will always take care of Bella because I love her very much.

Again I am sorry. Hopefully, after you breathe your last breath later. You will be able to rest in peace in nature there.

So with this, from now on I am Albert Steven.”
