I didn’t understand why Mark wanted to marry
く
me, but his comfort eased my tension.
His friend raised a toast, relieved,
“Sarah, two years ago, you didn’t choose him.
He got drunk for a week!”
“He was a workaholic, that week was the
most distraught I’d ever seen him.”
“But after that, he moved his focus to
Switzerland, investing in rehabilitation
research…”
“If I were a girl, I’d fall for such a devoted man…”
Switzerland? I remembered the treatment
equipment my doctor gave me, the company
was in Switzerland.
I looked at Mark,
“Is your company… Nianyue Medical
Group…?”
His friend patted his shoulder and left us. Mark looked at me deeply, then nodded
slowly,
“Yes, Nianyue is mine.”
Mark did so much for me. Without the
treatment from Switzerland, I wouldn’t have
recovered so quickly.
“Why are you so good to me?”
Mark held my hand, sighing,
“Sarah, before I left with my mother, I liked
you. I was too young, our separation lasted
decades.”
“When I was ready to return, my mother fell
ill. I heard you and my brother were
together… I thought I’d missed my chance, decided to watch over you secretly. The
marriage proposal was my last hope.”

“Luckily, my prayer was answered two years
later.”
I felt sorry for his loneliness.
“I’m sorry… I made you wait so long…”
I hugged him. He stiffened, then hugged me
back tightly.
He kissed my forehead, hesitating,
“I’ve been investigating your accident.”
“I discovered Jason and Lily’s betrayal, but didn’t know how to tell you without hurting you. I should have taken you away then.

“Now you know… Sarah, the accident was also suspicious… can you handle this?” “But don’t worry, no matter what, I’ll always support you.”
The accident wasn’t an accident?
I took a deep breath and leaned against him,
<
“It’s fine, I’m not afraid with you.”
A commotion erupted outside. Reporters
rushed in.
A bodyguard reported,
“Mr. Gu, Jason’s causing trouble outside…”
Mark looked at me for confirmation. I nodded.
He held me and instructed the bodyguard,
“Let’s go. Bring the suspect. It’s time to
settle this!‘
We went outside. The ground was bloody. Lily was sobbing, Jason was kicking her.
“It’s your fault!. Sarah left me because of you!”
“You and your b*stard will die!”
Mark signaled, bodyguards separated them.
Jason saw me, his eyes bloodshot:
CC
“Sarah! See my determination! I won’t let this
く
woman and her child live! I love you! I can’t
lose you!”
I hid behind Mark. Jason was terrifying.
An older man was brought in. Seeing Lily, he
exclaimed:
“You b*tch! I finally found you!”
“You said you’d pay me after I served time
for hitting someone! I need my money!”
I couldn’t believe it.
Mark explained,
“This is Lily’s father.”

“Lily’s father was paid by her to hit you two
years ago. He almost hit Jason instead.‘
Lily had wanted me dead!
“Why… why did you do this to me?”
Lily spat at me,
وو
“Why? You were born rich, and I’m a poor
girl!”
“You should have given me everything! Not
just your leftover money!”
“I regret that old man didn’t kill you then!” “I didn’t expect Jason would still marry you after your paralysis! I was going to be a rich madam! Why did you ruin my life? I hate you! I want to kill you!”
My kindness had been turned into a weapon
against me.
Mark supported me.
Jason broke free and kicked Lily,
“You were behind it all! You made Sarah
suffer! Even if she forgives you, I won’t!”
Lily hit a stone, blood gushing from her lower body.
“No… my baby!”
<
Jason’s friend, who wanted to be godfather,
arrived, shouted at Jason,
“Jason! How could you hurt your own child?!”
“Lily did it for you! How could you hurt her?!”
Everyone realized something was off.
“My brother’s child? I doubt it,
33
Mark had his assistant play a video.
The video showed Jason’s friend kissing Lily.
Then, them having sex at the mansion.
The assistant showed a paternity test. The
baby wasn’t Jason’s.
Jason was furious, betrayed. He grabbed his friend,
“I thought you were my best friend! You’re sleeping with my girlfriend, and you want me to raise your child?!”
His friend didn’t answer.
Lily laughed, showing a medical report of
Jason’s infertility.
