"Honey,you make me the happiest wife in the world.Thank you for giving me such a lovely son.I will definitely be a good mother."

I looked at the baby sleeping soundly in her arms,and my heart ached.Laura was wrong.No father alive would recognize his child by mistake.The baby's eyebrows and eyes were just like Laura.However,his nose and chin were almost copied of Richard's face.He was definitely not my son.My son had become a cold corpse in the morgue.

"Honey,how’s you leg,is it still hurt?You can take these painkillers,"The tenderness in Laura’s eyes were the same as before.However,all this was just an illusion to paralyze me.

I looked at the pills in her hand and remembered what I just heard,"Laura,I it’s too bitter.Can I take it later?"

[You have already killed my boy,at least leave the right to be a father to me,okay?],Alaistor thought.

Laura hesitated for a second,but then smiled.She touched my head,"You’re a father now,why are you still like a child?You broke your leg to save me,and I was so distressed that I couldn't sleep all night.Honey,can you just pity your wife?I still have to take care of our baby."

"I added honey to the water,so you can drink it up later.Come on,let me feed you."

[No,that's not my baby,it's yours and Richard's!],I couldn’t help to scream in my head.

Laura handed the pill to my mouth,not giving me a chance to refuse again.It was so quick that my body turned cold.I closed my eyes and swallowed the pill.I chose not drink the cup of honey water.I didn't want this kind of hypocritical sweetness!

The effect of the medicine took effect quickly,and my lower abdomen felt like it was burning with fire.It made me unable to stop peeing.However,what came out was blood.

"Honey,what's wrong with you?"

Laura called a doctor,and I fainted in the bathroom from the pain.In a trance,I heard the doctor said,"Mrs.Cloy,all of Mr.Alaistor vas deferens have been corroded,and he will never have children again."

Laura breathed a sigh of relief.She looked at me in teary face and said,"Honey,the doctor said that after you fell down the stairs,you injured your vas deferens.That is why you suddenly peed blood.He said you can never have children again."

Laura got closer and hugged me,"Don't be sad.We’re still lucky that we already have Ares.He’ll definitely be filial to you when he grows up."

Ares?She named Richard's son so quickly?

Laura personally brought hot water and helped me to clean the blood.She applied ointment on my legs to help recovery.She told me that her mother wanted to see her eldest grandson and had taken him away earlier.

In the meantime,it was already late at night.I looked at her slightly tired face and forced a smile,"It’s fine.You've been tired all day.Go and rest."

Laura kissed my forehead and prepared to go,"Wake me up if you need me,okay?I'll take you to pick up Ares tomorrow.We'd be happy and prepared for our fresh start of family of three."

After she fell asleep,I quietly picked up her phone.Laura never locked her phone as she thought it was a form of loyalty to me.However,I never knew that she actually set up a dual locked system.

It turned out that she locked it and switched systems was Richard's birthday.

As the system switched,the screen wallpaper showed a college photo of her and Richard.

There was only Richard’s name in her Whatsapp.I opened the chat and Richard’s picture holding a baby hurt my eyes.

"Laura,look how cute our baby is.He will definitely be as charming as you when he grows up."

That baby was exactly the same as the one Laura held at night.The more I flipped through the chat history,the colder my heart became.

During the eight months of Laura's pregnancy,she was always on business trips.The number of days she spent with me could be counted on two hands.

I was worried about her safety and wanted to accompany her,but she refused for various reasons.Then I knew that the so-called business trip was just an excuse for her to keep Richard by her side.

Tens of thousands of photos recorded everything from Richard's pregnancy to childbirth.I had never let Laura cook,but she made nutritious meals for Richard and accompanied him for walks and shopping.

Laura even held her vomit after being sick,and her affectionate eyes seemed to be looking at a rare treasure.

I had begged her many times to name our baby.However,she always took a long time to reply to my message,"Honey,we don’t need to think about it now.I'm very busy.Let's talk about it after he is born."

Ironically,she had just gotten pregnant with Richard's child,but she had already thought of hundreds of names for the child.

[Richard,how about the name Arthur?His future may be promising.]

[Why’s not Stephen?He will knowledgeable and has a bright future.]

[Forget it,let's just call him Ares.I don't ask him to be successful,I just hope he’ll be like the star,bright and long-lived.]

After every prenatal checkup,she would give Richard a gift,either luxury jewelry or a limited-edition sports car.

[The baby is so healthy and active.It's all because your genes are of good quality.We must reward him.]

She even rewarded the child with branded new suites.Meanwhile,all I got was only a gripe.

[The baby is only making me sick.It's so annoying.I'm going to a meeting and I'll talk to you later.]

In the end,we could see what was the real love and the manipulative love.

I put down my phone in despair and bought myself a plane ticket to go abroad in three days.I returned to the hospital bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I was filled with sadness and didn't sleep all night.

The next day,Laura asked her assistant to buy me a nutritious meal as usual.

I used to be touched by her thoughtfulness.She was always thinking about my food even when she was not around.

However,when I thought of her wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen for Richard,I realized that it was just perfunctory.Money was worthless in front of sincerity.

Knowing that I had no appetite,Laura felt a little distressed,"Honey,why don't you eat?You don’t like the food?"

"No,I just miss my boy,"I explained to her.

Laura smiled."So you miss Ares?Ow,I miss him too.I didn't realize it before.Thinking about that I'm a mother,now I know that I really don't want to be separated from him for a minute.Ares is really the cutest child in the world."

"My mom is so happy to meet her grandson.She’s making a welcome party in her house.We will go to pick him up later,okay?"

I didn't say anything.Still,I had decided to leave,so we’re heading to the house.When I arrived at the house,I saw my mother-in-law and Richard holding Ares and teasing him.

Richard was well-dressed in a high-end limited edition and looked so gorgeous.My mother-in-law totally gave everything of Richard’s well-being.

Richard saw me and said to my mother-in-law in a sarcastic tone,"Aunt,don't be so nice to me.People will think I am your son-in-law.Alaistor will be jealous."

My mother-in-law followed his gaze and looked at me.I was still wearing the bloody clothes from the day of the accident.She said in disguised,"Can’t you buy proper suites?You look embarrassing.Did you do that on purpose for our family?Look at Richard.He’s a real man and father.I’ve already considered him as my own son.He’s much better than you.You’re hypocritical!"

"I am so stupid to think you can go shopping.However,I still wonder how come you didn't die after falling from the stairs?Now,you have the nerve to play the victim here.Luckily it was you who fell.If you hurt Laura and my grandson,I would have asked Laura to divorce you immediately."

Theressa Cloy kept insulting him."You applied ointment on your legs even though you knew you had to take care of your son.It's just a broken leg.How could you be hurt to death?What if my grandson was choked?Thanks to Richard for helping to coax the child.”

I knew my mother-in-law had never liked me.She thought I was not worthy of Laura.I was far from being as pleasing as Richard,who grew up with Laura.He was handsome and sweet.

It was not until Richard went abroad to get married and Laura was pregnant.Theressa reluctantly recognized me as her son-in-law.There was a sarcasm in her eyes every time we met.

Laura used to always defend me a few words,not to mention that she dragged me to the mall that day.Then,she completely fixed her eyes toward Richard.

Richard walked to her side with Ares in his arms.He playfully put his arm around her shoulders,"Laura,did you hear that?Your mom has recognized me as her son.My dear sister,have you prepared a gift for your brother?"

Laura pinched his face helplessly and dotingly said,"You’re such a dork.You’re not allowed to call me sister."It really sounded like a hypocrite.How could she said that and gave 92 high-end brand men's mink coats to the men,and even helped to match the accessories?

"I know you’re fashionable,but you are weak and afraid of the cold.You may have enough coats in winter."

Richard happily kissed Laura on the face,like a naughty teenager."Wow,many of these are limited editions of his products for the next three years.You actually bought them for me in advance.Laura,you really love me."

He then looked around and thought for a while saying,"But you gave me so many gifts,won't your husband get angry?"

Compared with those bright and expensive mink coats,the clothes with dried blood on my body made me look more like a clown.

Laura was stunned for a moment,as if she just remembered that I was still around,and said awkwardly,"Alaistor,it's not like what you think.Richard is used to living abroad.I think we should take care of him because he’s like our family."

"And these clothes,Richard has been afraid of cold since he was a child.His wife is not around.After all,we grew up together,I just want,"Before she finished speaking,Ares suddenly cried.

It made Richard was surprised,"Oh,Ares,are you sleepy?Dad will go upstairs to get you to sleep."He did not forget to pretend to apologize to me,"Alaistor,please don't get me wrong.I'm used to coaxing my child,and every time I say this,Ares will be happy."

Richard was about to go upstairs with Ares in his arms.However,he fell into Laura's arms and said weakly,"Laura,I feel a little dizzy."

Laura immediately pushed me away and nervously supported Richard.She looked anxious,"How could this happen?You must have caught a cold.I told you to wear more clothes.Come on.I'll help you up."

My right leg was still bandaged,and she pushed me away.I fell to the ground,feeling excruciating pain.However,Laura didn't even look at me.In front of everyone,she helped Richard upstairs.

Everyone looked at me mockingly,their tone full of disdain and disgust,"No wonder Laura dotes on Richard.Not only is he handsome,but he is also so kind and willing to coax other people's children to sleep.Unlike this useless man.He’s not only shabby and unpresentable,but he can't even stand the pain in his legs.He actually applies medicine randomly.Isn't he afraid of affecting the child?How Selfish!"
