I sacrificed my legs to marry my cousin’s boyfriend, but they replaced me with a different bride on the wedding day!
I was getting married, and the groom was my cousin’s boyfriend.
But on the wedding day, I was not the bride.
I was tied up in the dressing room while the celebration went on outside.
Suddenly, the wedding march stopped, and the wedding turned chaotic.
I sat in my wheelchair and waited for someone to save me and for the person who did this to me to get punished.
After all, the best part always happened at the end!
Just then, the door opened.
“Police!”
…
I ended up in a wheelchair to marry Tommy Sullivan.
Moon White was my cousin, and Tommy was her boyfriend. While they were planning their wedding, I suddenly came back home.
To celebrate them finally getting together, I suggested a get-together with them.
During the day of the get-together, I staged a car accident.
“Tommy, look out!”
When a speeding car rushed toward Tommy, I pushed him out of the way without hesitation.
Moon screamed as the car hit me and sent me flying.
But things did not go exactly as I planned.
I lay in the hospital bed as the doctor said, “You’re paralyzed waist down. You’ll probably need a wheelchair for the rest of your life.”
I stayed surprisingly calm as I accepted the results.
Moon’s family rushed over when they heard the news and reacted very differently.
They stood by my bed, each with a different expression. They seemed more shocked and confused than guilty.
I smiled with a hint of provocation and said, “It’s been a long time, Aunt Jovia, Uncle Liam. Sigh, it’s all my fault. Our long-awaited reunion is finally happening here in this hospital room.
“And now, you both have to hear the bad news that I’m paralyzed.”
Jovia Thompson spoke first. She took my hand and comforted me. “Stella, how could we blame you? You sacrificed your legs to save Tommy. We should be thanking you, not blaming you.”
She then looked at Liam White, who nodded for her to continue.
“Don’t worry. Since you saved Tommy, the White and Sullivan families will take care of you. We’ll cover everything you need. Just let me know if you need anything.”
Then, I suddenly looked at Tommy, who had been sitting quietly in the corner with a relieved look.
“Yeah, at least Tommy is okay. Losing my legs was worth it,” I said insincerely.
Seeing Jovia’s confused look, I added, “Aunt Jovia, I really appreciate your kindness, but I’m disabled now. I’ll probably never get married. No one will want me. Since I saved Tommy’s life, maybe he could marry me instead.”
My words shocked everyone.
“What are you saying?! Are you crazy?!” Jovia jumped up. She looked shocked and angry.
I raised my head and said pitifully, “Moon only lost a husband, but I lost both my legs!”
Moon noticed the sarcasm in my eyes right away.
She rushed at me, grabbed my throat, and shouted, “I knew you were up to no good! You’ve always tried to take everything from me since we were kids! Can’t you leave other people’s stuff alone?!”
She was choking me so much I could barely breathe. My eyes rolled back.
Jovia quickly stepped in and pulled Moon’s hand away. She said in a panic, “Moon, let go! Don’t kill her!”
After a long silence, Liam finally spoke up. He pulled Moon behind him and told them to calm down.
Then, he looked at me coldly, “We’ll talk about your marriage with Tommy when we get home. For now, you need to rest at the hospital. Stop causing trouble.”
I coughed violently a couple of times. Then I looked up and stared at him. “Sorry. Maybe I’m asking too much and causing trouble. But you’ve always cared for me, and I’ve always thought of you as my father. You wouldn’t turn me down, right?”
“What on earth are you talking about?!”
Jovia raised her hand to slap me, but Liam quickly stopped her. “Isn’t it bad enough here? We’re going back home!”
At that moment, I saw fear in his eyes.
After hesitating, Tommy turned to Moon and softly said, “Moon…”
Seeing Tommy weakly asking Moon for help, I blew him a kiss and gave him a flirtatious look. “Tommy, I’m waiting for you to marry me!”
“Crazy! She’s just crazy!” Moon yelled.
Her voice echoed down the hospital hallway. But I did not care. I even hummed happily.
I did not think the White family would give in easily. After all, they probably saw my blunt “request” as just an empty threat.
But what if more people saw my “shameless” side?
Late at night, I got up and opened the live-streaming platform.
I quickly typed the titles.
[Give me back my husband!
[To save my cousin’s boyfriend, I lost both my legs. I hope he’ll marry me.
[I’m not pretending anymore. I want to be together my cousin’s boyfriend.]
With bold titles like these, viewers quickly filled my livestream channel.
I smiled and eagerly waited for the drama to begin!
Viewers quickly flooded into my livestream. I did not use any makeup to look pitiful.
The white light above me made my face look shockingly pale to the viewers.
I sat alone in the empty hospital room like a sad female protagonist.
I fixed my expression, and when the viewer count passed ten thousand, I started crying and said, “Moon, please, let Tommy be with me! I can’t live without him!”
Then, I started coughing hard. Each breath was heavy. I looked like I might faint any second.
Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back. It made me seem even more helpless.
This was an entertainment-driven world.
My bold titles quickly pushed my livestream to the top. Afterall, Liam was quite popular too.
My livestream quickly hit over a million views!
As expected, less than an hour later, the White family called.
With many viewers watching my livestream, I said with a quiver, “I sacrificed my legs to save Tommy! What’s wrong with him marrying me? I saved his life, and I love him so much!
“If you won’t let Tommy marry me, I’ll jump off the fifth floor of the hospital!”
I put the phone on speaker and heard Liam and Jovia pretending to be concerned.
“Stella, please don’t do anything drastic! We’re already talking to Moon. Don’t worry. We’ll make sure you marry Tommy. Please turn off the livestream. Let’s talk at home, okay?”
I could not help but laugh inside. I knew what they were trying to do.
They just wanted to calm me down first.
I looked up with tears in my eyes and said to the viewers, “I know many of you think I’m shameless, but I can’t help it. I love Tommy so much. I’d do anything for him. I’d even die for him!”
The insults in the livestream poured in nonstop. I spotted one comment. [Can you stop being pathetic? It’s making me sick!]
But I did not care. I had achieved what I wanted.
Just thinking about how frustrated they must be at home and how much they hated me made me feel good.
I wanted to make the White family anxious!
Both the White and Sullivan families had to figure out how to handle me!
