Chapter 1

Three years after our marriage,Victor Jean had changed his girlfriend every month to force me to divorce.

When he asked me for a divorce for the 99th time,I hid my pregnancy test report and promised to divorce him in a year.The next day,he and his elder brother had an accident that made him died.Meanwhile,his brother got injured.

I suppressed my sadness and mourned for Victor,but I fainted in the cemetery.While I was unconscious,I heard him quarrelling with my mother-in-law.

"Alecia just got pregnant and you faked your death to pretend to be her elder brother.Are you crazy?"

Victor lowered his voice and said hysterically,"This is God's will.God is helping me get rid of this dog-skin plaster!Mom,you clearly know that the person I love has always been Kelly,but you insist on forcing me to marry Alecia!"

"And now it just feels right.I can show my affection to Kelly as his elder brother.Alecia likes to stay as a Bennet Family,so she will stay as a widow.The child is just a gift from me to her!"

I clenched my fingers to prevent my tears from falling.Victor didn't know that I was willing to marry him and give birth to his children just to repay his kindness.Since the benefactor was dead,the favour was also over.

——

"Victor,you beast!Aren't you afraid that Kelly and Alecia will find out?You'll need to pay for what you have done someday!"

Facing his mother's scolding,Victor snorted coldly and didn’t care.He then said,"Do you think those women I found were just for fun?Mom,you probably don't know that they’re all my brother's girlfriends.He asked me to clean up his mess when he got tired of playing.Those girls didn't realize that I'm not him,let alone Kelly and Alecia!"

"My brother married my love but I didn't cherish him,instead he cheated under my name,so why can't I use his name and grow old with Kelly?Mom,let me be happy.Now that you have Kelly and me in the first place to give you grandchildren,while you have Alecia,the foolish girl,to give you the other grandchildren."

My mother-in-law was so angry that her breath was unstable.She scolded him for bullying me after what I had done for him all this time.

Meanwhile,he cursed her in disdain,"I never tortured Alecia.She was the poor girl,climbing into my room and seducing me again and again.I'm not a saint.I can't refuse the one who came to my door!")

"If I hadn't seen her serve me well every time,I would have left the child in her belly for a long time ago.In fact,doesn't she love me?Then,she must be satisfied enough to stay with the child and be a widow of the Bennet Family!"

The nails broke on the palm of my hand and when I let go,I saw a bloody mess.It turned out that in Victor's heart,I was so unbearable.He tortured me fiercely in bed again and again,but it was not like what I thought.It was never meant to be his warming up.

My tears fell uncontrollably.The quarrel between the mother and son was interrupted by the doctor who pushed the door in.Perhaps because she felt sorry for me,my mother-in-law asked the doctor to save the fetus in my belly.She repeatedly told Victor to accompany me well,but he coldly refused it.

"I'll hire a nurse for her.How can a brother take care of his younger brother's wife?If this gets out,won't people laugh at me?"

My mother-in-law punched him hard a few times,but she couldn't stop him from going back to accompany Kelly.

After he left some time,I slowly opened my eyes.My mother-in-law looked at my red eyes and immediately lowered her head.She didn’t dare to look me in the eyes.

"Alecia,you are not alone.You have to be strong even for the sake of your child."

Since I married into the Bennet Family,my mother-in-law has treated me well.I didn't want to embarrass her.If Victor hadn't saved me from the car accident,I couldn’t figure it out how tall the grass on my grave would be.

Victor's elder brother,Leister Bennet,was may be born infertile,.In order not to worry the Bennet Family,I had been keeping this secret for him.I even adjusted his body in private,but it was ineffective.

Chapter 2

When my mother-in-law saw that Kelly's belly was not moving, she placed all her hopes of holding a grandson on me.

In order to continue the Bennet Family lineage, I used all my tricks and lowered myself to seduce Victor. However, in Victor's eyes, all this was me being a slut.

The man pretended to be her eldest brother and lived with Kelly. I thought the Bennet Family would soon get the good news of adding a child.

Feeling the pain in my abdomen, I knew that this child might not be saved.

"Mom, don't worry, I will be strong."

Except for life and death, life was all scratches. Fortunately, everything was in time. My mother-in-law comforted me for a long time and didn't leave until the nurse came.

When she left, she didn't forget to remind me to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine on time. I smiled and after she left, I threw the medicine into the sewer.

The doctor came to check on me and I asked him to help me prescribe a medical abortion.

"Alecia, don’t you want this child? This is your husband's posthumous child, why are you..."

I understood why he was puzzled. In the eyes of outsiders, I loved Victor so much that I might want to commit suicide if I didn't have his child. Logically, I would try my best to keep the child and give birth to him. Unfortunately, this child should not come. I didn't want my child to become a tragedy of being unloved like me.

The medicine went into my throat and in just one night, the child was gone. When the sky was slightly bright, I fell into a deep sleep. However, I was awakened by the pain in my arm.

I opened my eyes and met Victor's anxious eyes, "Draw more. My wife is waiting for her panda blood to save her life!"

I struggled hard to prevent the needle from piercing my arm smoothly.

Victor's face suddenly darkened, "Alecia, your sister-in-law is in critical condition. She urgently needs a blood transfusion. There is no RH negative blood in the blood bank now..."

I covered my pierced arm and sneered, "My sister-in-law and I have never been familiar with each other, how do you know that I have panda blood?" I looked at him steadily, looking forward to his answer.

Victor inevitably felt guilty and begged me with red ears, "Alecia, you are the most generous. I heard your colleague tell me about your blood type, so I had to trouble you."

The emergency nurse next to me was not familiar with me, how could she know my personal information? If she knew that I was pregnant and had a miscarriage, she would not help Victor. Instead, she then explained, "Ms. Whitson, your sister-in-law's corpus luteum ruptured, the situation is urgent, can you..."

It turned out that Victor couldn't wait to go back and sleep with someone else's wife before his brother's body was cold. However, no matter how generous I was, I couldn't ruin my body that just had a miscarriage to wipe his ass.

"I just had a miscarriage last night. I can't donor my blood. You can find your ex-girlfriend. I remember she has panda blood."

When I mentioned about his ex-girlfriend, Victor was stunned at first. He looked reminiscence and he became furious.

"What are you talking about? Who do you think of my ex-girlfriend you were mentioning about? If you don't want to donor your blood, just say it directly. Why do you have to accuse me so bad?"

This was because I almost exposed the truth and he was embarrassed and angry. I didn't want to play along, so I told him the girl's name directly.

"That little girl who loves to wear red skirts, Margot Bailey. When you two broke up, didn't she say that as long as you ask, she would die for you?"

Victor's forehead was throbbing with veins. He raised his hand to smash my water cup, "Alecia! Are you sick? I'm Leister, your brother, not your philandering husband! No wonder you can't even keep your man. Looking at your crazy look, which man can stand it with you?!"

After all, he didn't care at all even I said I had a miscarriage.

Chapter 3

It was as if the child in my belly was not his. He only thought about Kelly Moore and got my blood. He even scolded me, "I know you can't accept the pain of losing your husband, but please look carefully, I am Leister Bennet! As long as you are willing to donor your blood to save Kelly, your child can call me daddy when he is born!"

He ignored my pale face and clamped me tightly. He then asked the nurse to draw my blood quickly.

All my struggles were useless. Since he saved my life, I just regarded this as the last time to repay the Bennet Family. I suppressed my panic and let the bright red blood flow into the blood bag.

After drawing blood, he didn't even say thank you and ran away with the blood bag.

Facing his anxious back, I gently said, "Victor, we are even!"

A dizziness came over me and I fainted on the bed completely. When I woke up again, my colleague, Isla Hill, was giving me nutrient water while blaming me.

"When will your healthy head be working out? That scumbag, Victor, is dead. Why do you still care about his Bennet Family? Your husband was just buried yesterday and his elder brother and his wife were in the emergency room. If you don't know, you would think they got married last night!"

I couldn't help but sneer. For Victor, last night was just a wedding, wasn't it?

He finally outlasted his elder brother and got rid of me, a dog-skin plaster. It would be strange if he wasn't excited to be able to get what he wanted and become Kelly's husband.

Seeing me laughing, Isla thought I was going to speak for Victor again and immediately pinched my lips. "No more speaking, or I will scold you for the entire day. In matter of fact, Victor is dead. Maybe this is the retribution for his philandering!"

"In my opinion, there is no good man in the Bennet Family. It's outrageous that his brother and his wife almost killed someone on the day of their brother's funeral. Why do they want to draw your blood? Isn't your life still a life? Even if Victor saved your life, you have been working like a cow and a horse for him all these years. You have already paid it back. Now he’s dead and so was your child. You can get a fresh start!"

I smiled and listened to Isla defending me. I hoarsely said, "Don't worry, from today on, I will only live for myself."

Hearing that I gave in, Isla was shocked. She touched my forehead to confirm that I was not talking nonsense. She then hugged me and coaxed, "Alecia, finally you got it!"

More than getting it, I wanted to leave forever.

After Isla left, I made a phone call, "Hey, do you still mean what you said last time about marrying me?"

The phone was silent for a moment and then it was ecstatic, "Yes, absolutely. I always mean it. You know I always wanted to marry you. I will come back to pick you up."

Adam Goyle was isolated from the news in Africa and he might not know that I had become a widow. However, his words were enough.

"You don't have to come back, just wait for me for half a month. I need to take care of everything here, then I come to Africa to work as a doctor without borders with you."

After the words fell, Victor unexpectedly pushed the door open with chicken soup. In the meantime, I didn't want to worry Adam, so I hung up the phone quickly.

"How can you go to Africa when you are pregnant?"

It turned out that he didn't hear me say that I had a miscarriage yesterday.

"I’m afraid that you heard me wrong, brother."

The new name made Victor pause and put down the chicken soup.

"Well, thank you for what happened this morning. This is the chicken soup that mom made for you and Kelly. Enjoy it while it's hot," he coldly said and immediately put down the chicken soup and left, as if he was afraid that I would discover his secret.
