To get back at his once lover, he hired a bride at the wedding, where their story started. She got fifty million as payment and he got the "tool" to began his vengeance. Although she knew clearly their relationship was only a deal, she could hardly resist the fatal attraction from him. She was willing to do anything for him and asked for nothing in return, because he was the one she had had a secret crush on for three years.
Outside the delivery room, a woman with elegant make-up was wandering anxiously. She just couldn't calm herself down. Her daughter-in-law was admitted in the hospital for her delivery. But after what seemed like an eternity, the baby was not given birth yet.
A man and a woman were sitting outside the delivery room. Compared to the woman pacing restlessly, they were calm. The man had his eyes closed and the woman was focused on fixing her make up with a small mirror.
"Auntie Alice, don't take stress. You're making me feel dizzy." This woman was a little impatient. She continued to paint her lips, which looked even more flirtatious now under the bright light.
"Selina is giving birth the successor of our Fang Family. How can I not be anxious?"
Vivian Ding put away her mirror and looked up. "So what? Are you feeling any better by pacing like that? You're not the one who's inside the labor room giving birth. So, just calm down."
At that moment, the door of the operating room opened. A nurse came out with a sheet of paper in her hand.
"Nurse, how's it going? Is it a boy or a girl?" Mrs. Fang, whose name was Alice, walked over to her cheerfully.
But the nurse frowned. "The baby has not come yet. Are you the patient's relative?"
"Yes, yes. I am the patient's mother-in-law," Alice said to the nurse anxiously.
"The patient is in a critical condition now. She has lost too much blood and her life is in danger. Here is an agreement for you to sign. You need to decide whose life will be of the higher priority to you and sign these papers."
"What? You mean Selina is having a difficult labor? This can't be happening!" Alice froze in her place. She couldn't process the news.
Before she could think about it, Vivian stood up and blurted, "What are you waiting for? The baby is definitely of the highest priority."
Spenser Fang had been silently listening to the others with eyes closed. He finally opened his eyes and looked up.
"Spenser, what do you think?" Alice was in a dilemma.
However, Spenser had an emotionless expression on. After thinking for a while, he simply said, "Save the baby!" Of course, to him, the baby had the higher priority.
Vivian sneered as soon as Spenser said that. "Aunt, you heard? Even Spenser agreed with me to keep the baby!"
"But..." Before Alice could say something, she was interrupted by Vivian again. "Don't waste any time. Spenser, just sign the agreement."
Spenser came over and took the pen from the nurse. Seeing that, a complacent smile appeared on Vivian's face. As he was about to sign the agreement, a haggard looking woman rushed in and grabbed his hand to refrain him from signing. "No, Spenser! You cannot do this!"
Everyone was taken aback for the sudden interference. The person who dared to hold Spenser's hand was an anxious looking old lady in a plain-dress.
She was the mother of the patient. Seeing her, a trace of embarrassment finally appeared on Spenser's face. His eyes wavered for the first time.
"Spenser, how can you treat Selina like this? Hasn't she suffered enough after she married you? Now you're even ready to sacrifice her life. How could you be so cruel? I could accept it if you don't love her even after she married you. I could accept it if she had no status in your family. But now, it's the matter of life and death. Are you going to take her life as well? What had she done to deserve such a punishment?" The woman choked out the words, laced with anger and blame. It was true that Selina Wang had suffered too much after she was married to Spenser.
"Since Selina is now a member of the Fang Family, we'll take the decision. You'd better not interfere with our family affairs, or you will get into trouble," Vivian exclaimed uncaringly.
"I'm Selina's biological mother. I have the right to decide about her life," Selina's mother, Jane, retorted.
"She is a member of the Fang Family. We'll take the final decision for her life." Vivian didn't give in and gritted her teeth.
"Vivian Ding, you should shut up. You are not a member of Fang Family just yet. The real member of Fang Family is my daughter, Selina, not you. You are no more than a shameless woman!" Jane retorted angrily.
"You!" Hearing the word "shameless", Vivian's face flushed out of anger. The incident that happened a year ago had been a disgrace in the eyes of the public even until now. She didn't expect that Jane would say it aloud.
"Well, stop arguing. Both the expectant mother and the baby are in danger. If you can't make a decision now, you may lose both. You'd better sign the paper as soon as possible!" The nurse interfered anxiously.
"Save the mother!"
"Save the baby!"
Jane and Vivian exclaimed at the same time. Both of them looked at Spenser expectantly. After all, as the patient's husband, he had the final say.
"Spenser, please. She is my only daughter. I hope you can save her for the sake of my old age! I can't see my daughter die before my eyes!"
"Spenser! She is just trying to win your sympathy! Don't listen to her. If you love me, sign it and keep the child!" Vivian refused to back off.
Spenser hesitated. He was in a dilemma. On one side was his current wife, and on the other side was his lover for many years.
"Have you decided yet?" The nurse pressed. After watching them arguing for a long time without making any decisions, she was running out of patience.
Everyone stopped talking and stared at Spenser. They waited for his final decision.
"Spenser." This time, it was Alice who spoke.
Spenser turned towards his mother.
"We should keep the mother." Alice said the final words quietly.
Hearing this, Jane held Alice's hand in relief and thanked her with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Mrs. Fang!"
Alice gave her a half-hearted smile. "There's no need to thank me, Mrs. Wang." In fact, it was the Fang Family who should be saying sorry to Selina and her mother.
