Chapter 2: Saving a Life That night, the Newton family sent a car to pick up Laura. The car stopped at a mansion, different from the others, more like an ancient building, giving the impression of a fairyland – elegant and picturesque A middle-aged man with a moustache came out from the depths of the gate, smiling as he introduced himself, “Miss, | am Freeman, the steward of this estate. “Hello, Mr. Freeman,” Laura politely greeted As the bride-to-be of the young master, Freeman didn’t dare to be neglectful and led Laura upstairs, pointing to the first door on the left, “Miss, this is the new room for young master and you. You will be in charge of taking care of young master’s daily needs from now on. Laura nodded and pushed the door open, immediately hit by a strong smell of disinfectant. If it weren’t for the colourful wedding ornaments around the room, she might have thought she entered a VIP ward Walking into the room, Laura saw a bed in the center with a man lying on it. He had distinct features, handsome and charming, but his eyes were closed shut. If not for the occasional beeping of the monitor on the table, Laura would have thought he was just sleeping This was Jonas Newton, the genius entrepreneur who once dominated the business world in Brookwe City Out of her instinct as a doctor, Laura approached and carefully examined his body After a while, her brow furrowed, realizing that the man’s condition was quite dangerous, and he might not have much time left However, since she had come across him, he could count himself lucky. Laura had no intention of spending her life with a stranger Agreeing to be a stand-in bride was just a delaying tactic. After meeting her grandmother, she would quietly leave and never appear again After diagnosing the condition, Laura took out a silver needle she carried with her, sterilized it, and began the treatment Laura exerted force with her wrist, and the needles landed steadily Soon, Jonas’ head was filled with needles The same needle technique, every two hours, five times in total, and Jonas would wake up The whole process seemed simple, but it was quite risky. If there was any mistake while inserting the needles on his head, it could be fatal At half-past seven in the morning, just as Laura finished the fifth acupuncture treatment, the door suddenly opened “Laura? Is it really you, the bride for my brother!” A sarcastic voice echoed in the room Laura’s face turned cold when she heard the familiar voice. She raised her head and saw Louis standing in front of her. Thinking of him fooling around with Pearl, she felt disgusted and replied with a chilly tone, “So what?” Louis’ face turned stern as he questioned, “Is this how you repay me, Laura? Don’t forget, | am your boyfriend. “Boyfriend?” Laura sneered, asking back, “When you were in bed with Pearl, did you remember that you had a girlfriend?” Louis’ cold expression softened instantly, feeling a bit embarrassed, “You know about that?” “Step aside!” Laura stood up to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Louis. His voice sounded pleading, “| know | was wrong, Laura. | do love you, and | promise | won’t do it again next time.

You lost your virginity for three years ago. | didn’t mind you being second-hand, but now you disdain me. ” Second-hand? Her last shred of dignity was ripped away by Louis. Burning with anger, Laura pointed to the door and shouted, “Get out!” After years of devotedly caring for her family, she was met with relentless ingratitude from her husband and son—who even brazenly vowed to form a "real family" with a glamorous actress.
