"Aunt, I'm begging you! Please save my mother. I will return the money to you. Odette knelt in the living room of the Lawson family and kowtowed a few times.
Took! Took!
The sound of her head hitting the ground. The only sound you can hear is in the living room of the Lawson family. But she didn't stop even bleeding.
"Save her? Do you think she can still be alive?" Suddenly, the voice of a middle-aged woman filled with deep mockery sounded in the quiet living room. Odette's aunt sneered and her disgusted gaze across Odette's body. "She has been lying in the hospital for the whole five years but still hasn't died yet. She can endure it!"
Before Odette could say anything, her cousin Beth, who was sitting gracefully on the sofa, interrupted, "That's right. You know that continuing to save her is a waste of money! Furthermore, if we lend you money, can you repay it in your lifetime?"
After Beth finished speaking, she didn't even look at Odette and continued to play with her newly made nails. Odette's eyes were filled with tears as she pleaded, "Please save my mother. I'll earn money to return it to you in the future."
"How will you earn money to pay us back?" Her aunt looked at her with disdain. She spoke mercilessly, "You are good for nothing. How can you get the amount you're asking for your mother?" Are you going to sell yourself to someone?" The insult is like sharp daggers that pierce through Odette's heart.
Odette was used to hearing insulting words, but when she saw the proud expression of the two women in front of her, she couldn't help but feel sad. Odette parents were in an accident five years ago, her father died on the spot and her mother went into a coma and vegetable stage. Even the home that she grew up in was occupied by her uncle and aunt.
If she had a choice, even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't be stepping into this house and begging the Lawson family. However, tomorrow was the deadline given by the hospital. If she couldn't arrange the money today, her mother would lose her life. In all that's happening to her mother the only thing that kept her alive was her unconscious mother. No matter what, she could not lose her mother.
Odette collapsed on the ground, "Aunt, I'm begging you, please save my mother! I can do anything you want, I'm begging you! Please"
Hearing her words, Aunt and Beth looked at each other with an evil smile on their faces, and their gaze once again fell to Odette. Her aunt curled her lips and smiled coldly, "I can lend you money. But you have to agree to one of our conditions."
Odette had a bad feeling about what her aunt going to say, Odette knew that the condition they would say would not be any worse than death. But she still asked in a hoarse tone. "What condition?"
"If you marry the Second Young Master of the Smith family, I will give you the money for your mother's treatment." Odette felt like a bolt of lightning stuck into her head as she felt a chill rise in her spine spreading over all her body.
She was surprised for a moment before regaining her senses. She pointed at Beth, "But she will be married to the Young Master of the Smith family tomorrow!" Hearing this, Beth got angry. She slapped the armrest of the sofa and yelled, "So what if it is me? Don't forget, the one who needs money now is you!"
After that, Beth stood up and walked in front of Odette. She opened the photo album on her phone and showed it to Odette. "Look at how your mother looks like with different types of tubes inserted all over her body. She doesn't feel good, does she? And if she doesn't get proper treatment, how do you think she will feel?"
Looking at the picture on Beth's phone, Odette frowned. "Why do you have a picture of my mother...?" Odette was halfway through her sentence when something suddenly flashed across her mind and her eyes suddenly wide. Her eyes turned red. She wished she could bite them to pieces. "You did it didn't you?"
"You deliberately asked the doctor to remove the treatment device from my mother's ward, didn't you?" Odette trembled with anger. Her anger and anxious look made the two very satisfied. "You guessed it right." Beth took back her phone and said with an arrogant smile, "Whether your mother is dead or alive depends on whether you agree or not."
Odette clenched her fist and her nails dug deep into her palm. The pain made her regain some rationality. After a while, she glared at Beth and said word by word, "Okay, I promise you!"
Odette paused and looked at the two women in front of her, her words were firm and powerful. However, if I marry into the Lawson family and you don't treat my mother, I will not let you off!" Hearing her agree, her aunt let out a sigh of relief. She looked at Odette and smiled. "That's more like it. We are a family, so we should help each other. Furthermore, the Lawson family is prestigious. You will enjoy life after marrying him."
Odette lowered her head, and tears flowed out of her eyes. Everyone in the Lou City knew that the Second son of the Smith family was disabled. It was also rumored that his personality was violent. And no woman had ever come back alive once she went to his side.
In short, her life had been ruined. The next day was the wedding. Early in the morning, Odette sat in front of the mirror as the makeup artist applied makeup on her face. Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and her aunt rushed in. She looked at the fragile woman sitting in front of the mirror and said with contempt. "Cover her bruises well and get her ready. Everyone is waiting there."
Odette clenched her fists tightly and kept silent. About half an hour later, Odette sat in the car of the Smith family and went to the wedding venue. No matter how aggrieved Odette felt, she had to complete this wedding. Her mother was still in the hospital. At the wedding venue, when Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith saw Odette walk out their expressions immediately became very ugly.
The Lawson family changing their bride at the last moment, was clearly looking down on their son! Eric Smith sat in a wheelchair at the end of the red carpet. There was no joy or anger on his handsome face. He was like a wooden sculpture without any emotions. Only his eyes were dark and deep, making people feel as if they were sinking into an dark hole.
Odette was surrounded by the bride maids and walked forwards to the stage. Her two hands that were holding the flower bouquet tightly clenched together. There were lots of question wondering in her mind. What will happen to her after the wedding? Will the Second Young master of the Smith family accept her, a substitute? And how will he treat her in the future?
The more Odette's went forward, the more nervous her heart would become. Finally when she reached at the stage, she saw the man's face clearly. However, just in a glance, Odette was immediately shocked. How could it be him!
