Lin Wan couldn't avoid being stabbed again. He knew that her child was her only weakness, so she kept bringing up the child. She concealed the bitterness in her heart and smiled heartlessly.
"He will thank me. I helped him find such a good father. He was born as the young master of the Huo family, with no worries about food and clothing. He will be happy."
Huo Tingxiao didn't expect her to be shameless to this extent, daring to come up with such an idea.
"You're dreaming. I will never acknowledge this illegitimate child! When the storm in the Huo family subsides, I will divorce you, and you will roll as far away from me as possible. If I see you again..."
Lin Wan was not surprised that he would say such words, but her heart still couldn't help but ache. However, she still walked over as if nothing had happened, twisting her waist and grabbing his hands.
"What will you do if you see me again?"
She lightly stroked his chest, which was heaving violently due to anger, and looked at him with a face full of tenderness.
"Tingxiao, getting angry harms your health. You have to take good care of yourself now, or how will you take care of me and our child later?"
Huo Tingxiao looked at her shameless appearance, and his hands kept tightening. In a moment, the blisters on her hands from the burn burst open, and blood flowed out.
He shook her off with disgust, as if throwing away garbage.
"So dirty!"
Lin Wan fell to the ground weakly, her hands burning with pain, but her heart felt like it had fallen into ice, unable to feel any warmth. He really despised her to the extreme.
Seeing that she didn't get up for a while, Huo Tingxiao thought she was feeling wronged. He was about to mock her, but saw that she had already propped herself up and stood by the bed. Her eyes carried a stubborn and mocking smile, which only made the fire in his heart rise again.
"I really pity you. You used to be so glorious, but now you're so miserable that you can only lie in bed and be at the mercy of others. Where is the appearance of the once glorious Huo family's young master?"
Without waiting for him to get angry, she turned and walked away, back to the living room to treat her wounds.
Huo Tingxiao watched her back in anger, regretting that he had not been harsh enough just now.
This vicious and despicable woman!
After Lin Wan treated her wounds and changed into a red dress, she was reminded by the servant that the car and gifts were ready. On the second day of the wedding, they were supposed to return home together, but seeing how much Huo Tingxiao hated her, it was clear that he wouldn't agree. Besides, his current condition didn't allow it. So she could only take the gifts and have the servant drive her back.
As soon as she stepped into the Lin residence, she heard a burst of cheerful laughter. She hid her scarred hands and walked quickly inside. As soon as she appeared in the living room, Lin Weiwei spotted her.
She ran over quickly and pretended to be affectionate, holding her arm.
"Sister, you finally came. We've been waiting for you for so long. Oh, where's your husband?"
She deliberately looked outside, then turned back with a disappointed look on her face.
"Sister, why didn't your husband accompany you? Oh, I forgot, he's now a useless person, probably can't even get out of bed?" Lin Wan's gaze fell on her, making her shrink back in fear, then playfully sticking out her tongue as if it was all just a joke. Lin's parents didn't show any signs of blaming her, as if they had accepted what she said.
Lin Wan didn't have the mood to play along with their act. She pulled her hand away from Lin Weiwei and placed the gift on the coffee table in the living room, then got straight to the point.
"You made me marry in place of someone else, and I did it. You should fulfill your promise to me now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Weiwei ran up to her.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Did Mom and Dad promise you anything?"
Lin Wan's expression changed, and she looked sharply at Lin Jiaming.
Marrying in place of someone else was his idea.
Lin Jiaming avoided her gaze and coughed awkwardly.
"Wanwan, the Huo family is a big family with a big business. Mom and Dad let you marry into it for your own good. Why do you make it sound like a transaction?"
Lin Wan didn't expect them to be so shameless, and was getting angry.
"You promised me that you would help pay for the surgery and repairs at the orphanage for me to marry Lin Weiwei into the Huo family. The dean is in the hospital now, and without the surgery fee, she won't be able to have the surgery and she will die!"
Lin Weiwei looked smugly at her, and even made a sarcastic comment.
"She's already so old, if she dies, she dies. It's just a relief for her."
Lin Wan's pupils were instantly stained with a touch of crimson. She turned around abruptly and grabbed Lin Weiwei's neck with her hand.
"What did you say? Say it again."
Lin Weiwei's face immediately turned red, looking at Lin's father and mother with a painful expression.
"Dad, Mom, save me. Sister wants to kill me..."
Lin Jiaming rushed over quickly and slapped Lin Wan's face, causing her face to turn to the side.
Lin's mother also ran up and desperately tried to pry her fingers apart, but couldn't do it.
She was angry and shouted, "Lin Wan, Weiwei is your sister. Are you going to hurt your sister for someone who is not even related to you? Besides, you are pregnant now. Do you think anyone will want you?"
Lin Jiaming raised his hand again, apparently intending to hit her on the other side of her face.
Lin Wan looked stubbornly at them, her eyes already tinged with crimson.
"You promised me that you must do it. The dean's grandmother is lying in the hospital bed now. She needs this surgery fee to save her life!"
Lin Weiwei's face was red from being choked, but she couldn't help but sneer.
"Grandpa left you a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, right? I don't believe you can't even come up with the money for a surgery fee. Could it be that you're deliberately deceiving Mom and Dad? You... Ah!"
As Lin Wan's strength increased, Lin Weiwei's face turned purple. She shook her head helplessly, tears falling from her eyes.
"Dad, Mom, save me, save me. Sister wants to kill me, she wants to kill me..."
At the same time, Lin Jiaming's slap fell heavily again, causing Lin Wan's face to twist to one side. Seeing that the strength in her hand had loosened, she quickly shouted outside.
"Steward, steward, come and throw this rebellious woman out for me!"
The steward rushed in with several servants and was stunned by the scene before him.
"What are you waiting for? Throw her out!"
The servants quickly approached and forcefully pried Lin Wan's hands apart, dragging her out heavily.
With red eyes, Lin Wan watched as the couple inside the house comforted Lin Weiwei in a gentle voice. Her heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness, but in the end, she was thrown out like garbage.
"You rebellious woman, my Lin family doesn't have a daughter like you. Get out of here!"
Accompanied by a burst of furious curses, the door of the Lin family's old mansion closed in front of her.
Seeing her fall to the ground, the servant who had brought her here quickly helped her up. She thanked him softly and asked him to return to the mansion, while she went to the hospital alone.
She didn't dare to appear in front of the hospital matron because she was too disheveled and didn't want to worry her.
She could only look inside through the small window, watching the matron's weak appearance, tears filling her eyes again.
She was such a good person, dedicating herself to the orphans in the orphanage, but now she was seriously ill and alone.
Lin Wan made up her mind to become her support and help her recover.
The Chinese medicine shop her grandfather had given her had long been emptied by Lin Jiaming, and it was now just an empty shell with no money to be found.
But the matron's surgery fee couldn't be delayed, and she had to find a way to raise the money as soon as possible.
She always remembered the Chinese medicine shop and vowed that one day she would restore it to its former glory.
