One month before the wedding, I was hit by a car while returning from a mission and fell into a vegetative state. When I woke up, I heard the news that my husband was going to marry someone else. Outside the ward, my fiancé's childhood friend asked him: "Now that Scarlett is awake, what are you going to do? Are you still going to continue the wedding?" "You have to know that the person you are marrying is the one who almost killed her. Aren't you afraid she will hate you after knowing?" My fiancé argued: "Chloe didn't mean it back then. She has been living in regret these years, and even prays for Scarlett every day." "At first I hated her too, but later I was moved by her kindness." "As for Scarlett, although I'm going to marry Chloe, I got legally married to her long ago. Not divorcing her while she was in a coma these years is already benevolent enough, so she definitely won't blame me." I said nothing, just turned on my phone that had been silent for years and dialed a number. On the wedding day, countless Black Hawk Helicopters hovered over the wedding venue. Everyone thought this was the groom's grandeur, only I curled my lips: Dare to hit the daughter of the Supreme Commander of the Military Region, better be prepared for a life worse than death. Chapter 1 My palms couldn't help but clench, the conversation outside the door was still clearly transmitted into my ears. "Even if Scarlett doesn't blame you, is the Vance family that easy to deal with?" "Moreover, the Vance family has always been protective. If they know you actually married another woman behind Scarlett's back, do you think they will let you go?" The speaker was Adrian Sterling's childhood friend Gavin. At this moment, his tone was full of worry. Adrian didn't care at all: "Don't worry, the Vance family had a transfer turmoil internally two years ago, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to visit Scarlett until now. I'm afraid they are too busy with themselves!" Gavin sighed, still a bit worried: "Then what do you plan to do next? Divorce Scarlett?" This time, Adrian took a while to answer Gavin: "Scarlett just woke up and her health is not good. The Vance family can't take care of her either. Who else can take care of her if she leaves me?" "As for divorce, if Chloe doesn't mind, I'll arrange another house for Scarlett, counting as giving her a home." My body trembled, intense anger burned me dizzy. Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, I hurried back to the hospital bed and lay down. After a while, I sensed someone walking to my bedside. Just as a warmth approached my face, I opened my eyes. Adrian froze for a moment, then immediately put on a look of sincere concern. "Scarlett, you finally woke up? I was so worried you would fall asleep again!" My hand under the quilt couldn't help clenching. If I hadn't heard those words just now, maybe I would really believe his appearance. I smiled back, pretending to be casual: "I forgot to ask you before, how was the perpetrator who hit me dealt with?" Adrian's hand supporting me paused, a trace of panic flashed on his face. "That person has already been sent to prison, sentenced to life imprisonment." When Adrian said this, he didn't even dare to look at me. I sneered in my heart, asked again: "Do I not need to identify and confirm in person? I saw that driver's face back then." Adrian looked up at me in surprise. I glimpsed his hand leaving a deep mark on the bed sheet. Being together for years, I knew Adrian was obviously nervous. But he quickly recovered his expression, gentle voice: "Scarlett, you slept for two whole years, memory might not be accurate." "I think you shouldn't rush to think about this matter, rest your mind first, talk about it when fully recovered." "I'll go ask the doctor about your condition." After speaking, Adrian stood up and walked out, only his steps were obviously a bit fast. I gritted my teeth, took out my phone from the bedside table. Fortunately, the phone could still be used after charging. I directly called my brother, Commander Vance, in the border special combat zone. The phone connected after a long time. The long-lost voice sounded in my ear, my eyes couldn't help but heat up. "Sister, aren't you busy taking care of the baby? How come you finally have time to call brother?" My heart tightened: "What baby?" "Just my big nephew, didn't you give birth to a chubby boy a year ago?" "Adrian even sent me photos! Just the unit had an emergency mission, Dad and I couldn't return to the country to see you, sorry sister." My brother's words were like a heavy punch on my head. Gave birth a year ago, meaning Adrian got together with that woman not long after I fell into a coma? "Sister? What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" "Did something happen to you? I'll find a way to come back now!" I took a deep breath, quickly stopped him: "No need brother, but I need you to do me a favor." Chapter 2 The next day I was scrolling through my phone, accidentally saw the news that Major Adrian Sterling of the Sterling family was about to get married. The news was accompanied by a photo. In the photo, the girl smiled happily, and Adrian was kneeling in front of her putting on a ring. The news also highlighted that the diamond on the ring was the only huge blood diamond in the world, valued at 100 million. And that proposal location, was chosen at the most expensive Century Hotel in the city, using tens of thousands of fresh flowers alone. My brain suddenly recalled that there was also such a person kneeling in front of me, saying to me: "Scarlett, I am willing to take care of you for a lifetime, whether poor or rich, even in sickness and old age, I will never leave you." But now, I was only in a coma for two years, the past promise became a joke. Therefore looking at that ring now, I only felt ironic. Back then Adrian just improvised with a strip of cloth tied into a ring to propose to me, but his proposal to Chloe was so grand and formal. Cherish and casual, actually can be distinguished at a glance. I smiled self-deprecatingly, just wanted to turn off the phone, suddenly, a jade pendant on Chloe's neck crashed into my eyes. I zoomed in on the photo, clearly seeing the eagle pattern on it. This is clearly the Family Signet symbolizing the identity of the Vance family offspring. There are only two in the world, one with my brother, one lent by me to Adrian. Back then Adrian also relied on this signet to stand out among many children in the army, smooth all the way, promoted to Major. But now, this signet is worn on Chloe's neck! Chapter 3 I only felt the world spinning, chest aching in waves. Immediately I rushed to the Vance family's military office in the capital. The Vance family signet only recognizes Vance family members. Even if the signet is in Chloe's hands, without my permission, they can't use half of the Vance family's power. But to my surprise, when I arrived at the place, no one in the office recognized me! Even the supervisor was changed. The guard at the door pushed me to the ground forcefully. "Where did this idler come from, dare to break in without looking at what place this is!" Ignoring the pain on my body, I grabbed the guard's collar and asked: "Where is Uncle Chen? Where is your original commander?" The guard sneered, pushed me heavily to the ground again: "That old guy offended the Big Miss, was transferred to the border long ago." A chill suddenly rushed into my limbs and bones. I covered my chest almost suffocating. Uncle Chen is an elder who took care of me since childhood, can be said almost my adoptive father, but he was harmed while I was in a coma. I gritted my teeth, took a taxi directly to the Sterling family mansion. Fortunately, the Sterling family still kept my fingerprint record. I walked in directly, carefully avoiding others on the way. Passing the living room, I saw a boy about one year old sitting in a baby dining chair. I glanced at the nanny busy in the kitchen, eyes flashed. Back in the hospital, I sat on the sickbed somewhat exhausted, palms still sweating cold sweat. But before I recovered strength, Adrian rushed in questioning me: "Where did you take Winter?" "Who is Winter?" I blinked, face full of confusion. Adrian's brows dyed with hostility, as if he would snap my neck in the next moment. "Scarlett, don't play dumb, I checked the access record, your fingerprint was used!" "Must be you who took Winter away." "I warn you, Winter is my..." Before Adrian finished speaking, he was interrupted by a phone ring. Saw Adrian pick up, hostility between brows dissipated immediately. I could vaguely hear the other side saying someone found, under the sofa or something. When Adrian hung up, I asked: "So, who exactly is Winter?" Adrian's face was a bit unnatural, ambiguous said: "Nothing, you went home today?" I said casually: "Yes, I missed you so went back to see, result you weren't home so I came back." Adrian frowned tightly, looked at me fixedly for a while, then chuckled lightly: "Next time you miss me just call me directly. The house is messy recently, various relatives gathering." "Winter is my nephew, he almost got lost today, so don't run home anymore." I nodded, agreed obediently. After Adrian left, I took out a piece of paper from my pocket. That was a will, left by Old Master Sterling before he died, always hidden in the secret compartment of his desk. Afraid Adrian would never guess, I was actually there when the old man made the will, and the content of the will was: Everything of the Sterling family, inherited by Old Master Sterling's youngest son Liam Sterling. Back then I hid this will for Adrian. Perhaps from the day I hid the will, I was destined to suffer retribution in the dark. Phone suddenly rang interrupting my thoughts, it was brother's message: "Liam Sterling found." Chapter 4 The next day Adrian came to pick me up from the hospital. I was taken by Adrian to a small villa. The villa only had two floors, barely any neighbors around, looked obviously like a newly bought building temporarily. I asked Adrian: "Why not go to the main mansion?" A trace of guilt flashed across Adrian's face, smiled: "Isn't that house too big, I living alone inevitably miss you, this one is just right." I sneered in my heart. Yes, the Sterling family main mansion occupying half a hill is indeed big, big enough to hold her Chloe, but can't hold me. I didn't struggle anymore, instead suddenly grabbed Adrian's collar looking straight into his eyes, asked: "Where is Uncle Chen?" Adrian's pupils shrank fiercely, even heartbeat accelerated a lot. Long time later, Adrian held my hand with a gentle smile, tone carrying comfort. "Why are you still so fierce, but I just like you like this." "When you had the car accident Uncle Chen was worried sick. The old comrade is old, I was afraid he couldn't bear it, so sent him back to hometown to recuperate." "I know Uncle Chen is like your father to you, so also gave him a large allowance to let him enjoy old age." "If you want to see him, another day when your body is better I accompany you to the countryside?" When Adrian said this, his eyes looking at me were full of doting. I didn't answer and let go of his hand, but the moment I turned my head, my face was ice cold. "Scarlett, if you feel bored I take you to stroll around, by the way buy you some clothes?" Seemingly afraid I continue asking about Uncle Chen, Adrian changed the topic timely. I nodded, this is good too, save me from always wanting to kill him when alone with him. Arrived at the mall, Adrian skillfully selected clothes for me. I looked at those light-colored dresses with tulle he picked for me, brows slightly frowned. "I don't love wearing these dresses, did you forget?" Adrian's movement froze, hurriedly greeted the clerk to pick for me. After that, Adrian no longer acted on his own, sitting on the sofa with extreme patience waiting for me to try clothes one by one. Even no matter which one I wore he would praise a few words, simply a twenty-four filial husband. But only I knew, this was the first time Adrian accompanied me shopping. Before he was busy promoting in the army, never accompanied me to do such time-wasting small things, but now he could cooperate so perfectly. Obviously been trained. Just that person wasn't me. When I finally changed into my own clothes and came out, Adrian was gone, only a few clerks whispering behind the counter. "This Major Sterling didn't accompany Mrs. Sterling today, who is this woman?" "Mistress right, tsk tsk, really didn't expect Major Sterling usually acts so wife-loving but still steals food behind Mrs. Sterling's back." "What's this, powerful men all like this. Pity Mrs. Sterling, person so nice, looks beautiful too." I directly pushed down the floor lamp beside me, glass shards of lampshade exploded in front of the clerks, scaring them into screaming. I glanced at them sideways said: "Put it on Adrian Sterling's bill." When Adrian came back, the clerks all had white faces, only I looked normal. Adrian didn't feel anything wrong, just said to me somewhat apprehensively: "Scarlett, just now I received a call saying my car wasn't parked well, I have to go to the garage, can you stroll alone first?" "Don't worry, I'll come back to find you soon." Finished, Adrian didn't even wait for me to agree and left in a hurry. I waited for Adrian to walk far, also strode towards the underground garage. In the garage, at this time a military plate SUV was vibrating slightly. If close, could still vaguely hear woman's panting inside. I held my breath approaching step by step, then heard the woman inside suddenly sobbing. "Hubby, did you find a mistress behind my back? When I was shopping today they all said saw you accompanying other woman buying clothes!" "I didn't, don't think too much, I was accompanying Scarlett shopping, she just woke up has nothing I accompanied her to buy that's all!" This voice obviously was Adrian's, then the other one probably was Chloe right. My knuckles cracked slightly, the word mistress in Chloe's mouth sounded particularly piercing in my ears. "Hubby, do you still like Scarlett? It's okay if you like her, as long as I can stay by your side, I'm even willing to kneel in front of Scarlett, even if paying with life!" Woman's voice carried crying tone, provoking Adrian to coax hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't like Scarlett, I only have guilt for her now. When she gets better I will let her leave." "Baby, I only love you, and only you can give birth to my child!" Woman broke into laughter through tears. "Of course only I can give birth for you, Scarlett had a miscarriage and massive bleeding two years ago, she couldn't give birth even if she wanted to, humph!" Adrian also laughed along. "Yes, but I still want you to give me a few more!" "Annoying!" Ambiguous sounds rang more intensely, I exhaled heavily and turned away quietly. Heart felt like a corner dug out, somewhat heavy pain. Turns out I once had a child. But that child was gone before I even had time to know its existence. Suddenly, phone rang, it was message from brother. "Sister, the last insider in the military region was caught by me." "This insider confessed some news, that Chloe could mobilize people in the office, besides the signet, there is another point because she once." "Also surnamed Vance."
