To save her adoptive father, Shea Quain agreed to be the stand-in bride of her step-sister. Everyone said Shea Quain had two kids, married a fool, and ruined her career. Unexpectedly, Shea Quain appeared at the social gathering of celebrities in Sill City. The four young masters in Sill City, whom the socialites of Sill City could only dream of getting married with, one drove for her, one gave her a skirt, and the other two acted as her bodyguards.
"I have twins who are yours."
After Shea finished speaking, she looked at Moore Slate, who was sitting opposite.
Moore laughed, "Shea, are you kidding me? I haven't seen you since we broke up five years ago."
"The twins are four years old. I had them after that night." Shea said.
Moore's smile disappeared.
Shea leaned forward, and her tone was a little anxious, "I know you are married, and I am not here to destroy your family by telling you this today. I just want you to do me a favor!"
"What is it?"
"Do a marrow match with my son. He has leukemia!"
Moore fell silent.
He raised his head and drank the water in the glass. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Your son and I should not be able to match."
"The odds are higher than with unrelated people..."
She was interrupted by Moore before she finished speaking, "I have no blood relationship with your child!"
Shea was stunned.
"Since you came to me, I'd better tell the truth. Back then, I wasn't the one who had sex with you in that club."
Shea's head buzzed, and it took her a long time to ask, "Then, who is..."
Moore shook his head, "I don't know who it is. When I arrived, you were already... In order not to make you sad, I didn't tell the truth."
Shea suddenly understood, "This is why you broke up with me, isn't it?"
Moore didn't answer but stood up, "Don't come to me again. My wife will mind."
Then he left.
Looking at his back, Shea clenched the tablecloth tightly.
She thought that she had found a little hope for her son, but who knew that she would get such a blow?
Her heart constricted, and she couldn't breathe in pain.
The phone rang. She took a deep breath to look at it and saw that it was a call from a villager, "Miss Quain, come back quickly. Your father suddenly passed out!"
Shea's head went blank for a moment. She hung up the phone and rushed back.
...
At the Hunk Hospital in Hunk City.
"Your father is in the middle stage of gastric cancer, and what is urgently needed now is surgical treatment. Our hospital's capacity is limited. I suggest you transfer him to a large hospital in Sill City for treatment."
The doctor's words made Shea clenched her hands, "Then, how much will it cost?"
"Surgery plus post-radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost about one hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand!
Shea's heart sank.
The salary of a teacher in this rural place was six hundred a month.
Her father had been paralyzed in bed all year round, and her son had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The medical expenses of the two of them alone were overwhelming for her. Where could she get this one hundred thousand?
After coming out of the doctor's office, she thought about it and made a call.
It was connected, and there was a loud sound in the background.
Shea swallowed her saliva and called, "Mom."
"Why are you calling me now? What's the matter? Hurry up!" The thin female voice sounded impatient.
"I want to borrow some money from you."
"Borrow money? How much?"
"Is one hundred thousand okay?"
There was silence on the phone, and then the voice raised an octave, "Highway robbery! One hundred thousand! Why should I lend you that much money? Who do you think you are?"
"I will pay it back!"
"With your rural teacher's salary?" Mary Jaelle sneered, "It won't be finished until you die!"
"Shea, don't forget what you said ten years ago. You have severed ties with us, haven't you? Now you..."
Before Mary finished speaking, Shea hung up the phone.
Shea laughed at herself, thinking she was too naive.
Shea thought they would care about the blood relationship, but now it seemed that the blood relationship was nothing to them.
After thinking about it, she called the village chief, "Chief, can I borrow some money from you?"
Shea ran around for two days but only borrowed ten thousand in the end.
When the people in the village heard that Morton Quain had gastric cancer, they were all very warmhearted. However, they were too poor, so it would be nice if they could provide any amount.
Shea was so worried that she couldn't sleep. At this moment, she suddenly received a call from Julia Carl.
"I heard about what happened. Your son has leukemia, and your father has gastric cancer, right?"
Shea was silent.
Julia didn't have any emotions at all when she said the word "your father."
How could a person be so ruthless?
After all, she was Morton's biological daughter.
"Now, there is a way can cure your father's illness and support you to replace your son's bone marrow." Julia continued.
Shea immediately asked, "What do you want?"
"As long as you replace me to marry a man. The conditions of that family are good. If you marry him, money will not be a problem."
"The conditions are good, so why don't you marry him?" Shea mocked.
Julia had always been a social climber. If the conditions were good, how could she let it go?
"Let's be honest. That man is retarded."
"No."
Julia's voice became sharper, "This is what father promised them back then. You are their biological daughter, and you should be the one who married him!"
Shea smiled, "When they need a person to marry a fool, I was the biological daughter of Hardin Carl and his wife? Julia, you can't be this ruthless!"
After Shea finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Looking out the window, Shea's eyes were red.
The hospital confused Shea and Julia at birth, so they switched families.
When she was twelve years old, things became clear. Shea and Julia went back to their biological parents, respectively.
But the Carl Family didn't like her, and instead, they all missed Julia, who had returned to the countryside.
Later, Julia couldn't bear the hardships in the countryside, so she severed ties with the Quain Family and ran back to Sill City.
Later, Shea's foster parents had an accident, her foster mother passed away, and her foster father, Morton, was a paraplegic with no one to take care of him.
Shea returned to the countryside to take care of her foster father.
Her biological mother, Mary, told her to come back. She couldn't bear to leave her foster father behind, so they severed ties with her in anger.
Since then, she has never contacted the Carl Family again.
For her father's illness, she shamelessly asked to borrow money from them, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
"Shea, hurry up. Your father vomited blood and fell into a coma. He has entered the ICU!" The nurse rushed over and shouted at her.
Shea didn't have time to be sad and ran towards the ICU.
Ten thousand dollars was finished in five days.
The doctor said to Shea earnestly, "Your father's current situation urgently needs an operation. Otherwise, the operation may not even work in the future. Do you want to watch your father die?"
Shea looked at her foster father lying on the hospital bed through the window, feeling severe pain in her heart.
The image of him carrying her on his shoulder and playing in the mountains when she was a kid came to mind.
He was such a good father. Could Shea really just watch him die?
As for her son, Zeber, who was so cute, could Shea just watch him get weaker and finally die?
No, she couldn't!
After a sleepless night, Shea called Julia, "I agree. I'll marry him."
