Freya sacrificed her happiness and youth just to save her sick mother's life and her family's hospital. She was forced to marry Brennan, a man who was in a three-month coma after having an accident. It was a contractual marriage, but it still bonded them together. Freya already resigned herself to never seeing her vegetative husband awake, but she was in for a surprise. On their wedding night, her vegetative husband suddenly stirred and opened his eyes. Freya almost had a heart attack! What did the future hold for them now that Brennan unexpectedly woke up? Were they going to stay married? Or would Brennan throw her out?
Early in the morning, the sun climbed on the horizon.
"Ouch..." Freya Walton slowly peeled her eyes open, her head pounding painfully. Only then did she find herself lying in a soft, big bed wearing nothing but a short, thin blanket.
Freya blinked in surprise when her vision cleared up. The room she woke up in was luxuriously decorated but unfamiliar.
She had no idea where she was.
Freya turned her head to her side in confusion.
There was a man lying right next to her.
He had a handsome face, with his prominent nose, arched eyebrows, and deep-set eyes.
But his thin lips were tightly pursed, which made him look cold and unapproachable.
Who on earth was he?
Why was he here? Why was she here?
Countless questions plagued Freya's mind. When her headache finally lightened up a little, she tried to recall the events of last night.
Yesterday, as soon as she walked out of the airport, she was attacked from behind.
She was instantly knocked out and didn't even get the chance to see her assailant.
Who was so bold as to kidnap her in broad daylight?
The man next to her was still motionless. With a trembling hand, Freya reached out her hand in front of his nose. Fortunately, he was still breathing.
Freya let out a sigh of relief, but she still had a ton of unanswered questions.
When she was wondering what she should do next, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and a strange girl strode in.
She smiled at Freya mockingly. "My dear sister, you're finally awake."
Freya squinted at her in confusion. "Sister? And you are...?"
"Hailey Walton, your younger sister." Hailey smiled sweetly, but her voice dripped with malice. "Dad finally let my mom move in. From now on, we'll be a happy family."
Freya's jaw went slack.
Her father hadn't divorced her mother yet.
Not long ago, her mother became seriously ill and fell into a coma.
It didn't take long for Freya to understand what Hailey meant.
It turned out that her father had been cheating on her mother long ago.
Now he even took the advantage of the fact that his wife was in a coma and let his mistress and illegitimate daughter move in.
Hailey covered her mouth and giggled. "By the way, Dad sold you to the Hayes family. Now, you're Brennan Hayes' wife. But unfortunately, he's a vegetable!"
Freya felt shocked, angry, sad, and pained-all at the same time. Every word Hailey said was like a knife to her heart. "What did you just say?"
Hailey shrugged indifferently. "I said, you're now married to Brennan. But he fell into a coma. None of the other rich girls want to marry him, so the opportunity is given to you. Look, he's right behind you. Aren't you happy?"
Freya was trembling all over in anger as she glared at Hailey. She leaped out of bed and shoved Hailey away, crying, "I don't believe you! Get out of my way! I'm going to see Dad!"
Unexpectedly, Hailey shoved Freya back onto the bed. "Look at you! You're practically naked. Do you think Dad would want to see you like this?"
Hailey snickered. She always regarded Freya as a thorn in her flesh. Because of Freya, she couldn't say that she was a Walton. Now that she finally had the chance, she had to seize every opportunity to make Freya's life miserable.
Freya winced in pain, but she was unwilling to give up. She quickly wrapped herself with the thin blanket and tried to walk out.
"If you leave this room, Dad will stop paying for your mother's medical expenses, and your mother's shabby Healthbridge Hospital will be closed down." Hailey's eyes flashed sinisterly as she spoke.
Freya immediately stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around to look at Hailey in disbelief. "What did you say? What's going on with the hospital?"
Hailey lazily glanced at her manicured nails and explained, "After your mother passed out, the hospital encountered a serious financial problem. If you don't want to marry this stupid vegetable, just leave. The Hayes family will take back the money that they invested to save the hospital."
Freya's heart leaped to her throat.
Her mother had founded Healthbridge Hospital. It was her life's work.
She couldn't let it be close down.
Seeing that Freya was hesitating, Hailey sauntered toward her. "My dear sister, I heard that you were a top student at the medical school. Why don't you try to cure your vegetable of a husband? Otherwise..."
She looked Freya up and down and sneered coldly. "Otherwise, you'll never know the pleasure of mind-blowing sex."
These vicious words stabbed into Freya's heart.
She suddenly raised her head and said coldly, "You've crossed the line."
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Hailey widened her eyes, feigning an innocent expression. "What'd I do? I was just being honest-"
Hailey suddenly stopped speaking and her expression changed dramatically.
She started to tremble, and her demeanor was no longer arrogant. Instead, she looked scared.
She stared at something behind Freya.
"I-I'm sorry. I..."
Before Hailey could get another word out, she suddenly turned around and fled from the room.
Confused, Freya turned around to see what Hailey was looking at just now.
Brennan Hayes, the man who was supposed to be in a coma, had opened his eyes.
And his sharp eyes were fixed right on her.
