He Left His Family for His Mistress Chapter 1

After I lost my memory in a car accident, Benedict Mortimer took a photo of my father's illegitimate daughter. He then tricked her into thinking it was me. He also asked her to donate a kidney to someone.

Later, the two of them talked about the old story when they were warming up to each other. Unfortunately, they were caught by my son. Just because my son recognized at a glance that the illegitimate daughter who looked like me was not his mother, she fainted in fear.

In order to put his mind at ease, Benedict ignored his son's claustrophobia and insisted on throwing him into a closed clinic for deep hypnosis. Fortunately, I received a message from my son. I rushed over to kneel and begged bitterly to Benedict.

“Eugene is most afraid of the dark, Benedict. Excessive fright is going to kill people. If you want to punish me, you can punish me right now. But, please, don’t punish my son.”

He interrupted me with a cold smile. “My son, Eugene, you should not be weak and afraid of the dark! His bad habits should also be cured, okay? How could it kill a person?”

When I tried my best to close my son's frightened eyes with all my might, suddenly a scene crossed my mind. In that piece of memory, I saw Benedict holding a grand and luxurious wedding with Adelaide on a private island. He did that to atone for his regrets. The lost memories revived at that moment, but it was clear that I was Adelaide Reverie.

They had cheated me of my kidney. They also were going to replace me with everything I have. I forced myself to endure the pain that tore my heart and lungs. I then called my mother-in-law's number.

I said, “Mom, I've got it all figured out. I think it's time for me to leave.”

——

My mother-in-law, Liliana Stewart, quickly rushed to the hospital. She was so shocked by Eugene's horrified look. Then she fell to the ground.

Liliana asked, “Adelaide, is this Eugene seeing a ghost? How could it be?”

“Mom, I'm Rebecca, not Adelaide.”

I corrected her with a bitter smile. It was only when she met my face, which was sad to the point of despair. She remembered that I said I had recovered my memory.

Under my direct gaze, she dropped her head. I then realized that she didn't dare to look at me at this time.

“Rebecca, how much do you remember?”

All of this happened when I couldn't close Eugene's eyes over and over again. Then those memories that were distorted by Benedict's hypnosis gradually recovered their original appearance.

I did not answer my mother-in-law at this moment. I just wanted to whisper in Eugene's ear and tell him that his mother would take him away forever. The moment he closed his eyes, we heard something.

There was a person walking in the ward. She was holding his cell phone, then she shouted in a loud voice, “Oh my God, they are already an old married couple. But the gaze of the Prince of the Mortimer Family looking at his wife is still as if he is in falling love! Whose husband celebrates his wife's birthday by promising to give her a dream wedding every year? He's really in love with her. It makes me want to get married!”

I was shocked to hear those words. I then looked at Liliana, who also looked confused at that time.

That young girl continued her words by saying, “If the light in his eyes can fall on me, I'm willing to die for him! It’s hard to imagine how happy I can be as his wife and have a child with him.”

I said in my heart, ‘If they knew that Benedict's wife and children had not even exchanged their lives for a single glance like this, would they still be envious?’

Five years ago, my mother-in-law looked down on Hendrick Reverie's illegitimate daughter status. She then forced her son, Benedict to marry me. When my father, Hendrick, became seriously ill and urgently needed a kidney transplant, he compromised to marry me in order to save my father.

I accidentally learned that he married me for my kidney to save his sweetheart, not to save my father. His secret girlfriend had a car accident on the way to the airport to escape the marriage.

In order to prevent me from revealing the truth, Benedict bribed a doctor to remove my anterior temporal lobe. He also hypnotized me and gave me the identity of Hendrick’s illegitimate daughter, Adelaide.

My mother, who died tragically in the car accident, also became the mistress who deserved it in his mouth. After being persuaded by him several times, I agreed to donate a kidney to make up for my mistake. From then on, I became an illegitimate daughter that even I was ashamed of.

I didn’t know that Benedict also united with my father to let Adelaide replace me as the Reverie Family's daughter. I also was shocked after knowing that Adelaide went abroad too far away from home for further study and recuperation.

In order to help Adelaide smoothly seize the family fortune, Benedict and I acted as a loving couple for five years. In these five years, I was not unaware of Benedict's weirdness towards me.

I then went silent for a while. I then thought and asked in my heart, ‘If we were in love, how could he not have hugged our son, Eugene, once? When Eugene was ridiculed for not having a father because he refused to attend the parent-child meeting at school, he could also be indifferent.’
