Chapter 2 Comatose Husband Woke Up

The man had a pair of deep blue eyes, with the corners slightly raised. These beautiful eyes, rarely seen in men, exuded an intense sharpness and seemed oppressive at this moment.

As soon as Freya met his sharp gaze, she felt as though her heart stopped beating in her chest. She froze in place, like a deer caught in headlights.

The two held each other's gaze for what felt like an eternity.

After a while, Freya gradually realized that Brennan was still in a coma and had just opened his eyes involuntarily.

But this sort of behavior also meant that the chance he would wake up greatly increased.

Freya didn't know whether she should be happy or sad about this. After all, she was still reeling from everything that had happened since yesterday. She was kidnapped, woke up next to a stranger who turned out to be her vegetable of a husband, and found out that she had an illegitimate half-sister. As if that wasn't enough, she also found out that her mother's life's work was on the brink of collapse.

Everything had happened so quickly. She had to calm down and assess the current situation with a clear head.

Freya found some clothes from the wardrobe and put them on. After getting dressed, she plucked the courage to sit down next to Brennan.

Looking at the unconscious man with sharp eyes, she had mixed feelings.

She didn't expect that one day, her father would sell her to a vegetable in exchange for money.

And Brennan was just as pathetic as her.

Even though she had been studying abroad, she had heard about the Hayes family.

The Hayes family was one of the most powerful families in Leryport, with more than one hundred billion in assets.

It was said that their heir, Brennan Hayes, was a shrewd businessman, so cold and aloof that he seemed to have no human feelings.

After he took over the family business, he drove away all his incapable relatives from the older generation. In just a few years, he managed to seize complete control of Asiope Group, the largest group owned by the Hayes family.

In his journey to the top, he had offended many people because of his decisive and cruel style.

Not long ago, he was violently attacked, which was how he ended up in a coma.

Thinking of these things, Freya looked at him and sighed. "I guess we're both pathetic people," she murmured.

Just then, she heard a commotion outside the bedroom.

Frowning slightly, Freya got up and headed out.

She navigated her way through the villa. The bedrooms were on the second floor, and when she descended the stairs, she found her father Fletcher Walton and Hailey standing in the living room.

When Freya saw her heartless father, her blood boiled.

But before she could question him, Hailey tugged Fletcher's sleeve and asked, "Dad, do you remember what I said?"

"Yes, I do," Fletcher said with a nod.

Then he turned to look at Freya and feigned an apologetic smile. "Freya, I know that you've suffered a lot, and I know that you don't want to marry into the Hayes family-"

Staring at Fletcher, Freya cut him off. "Dad, did you arrange all this?"

Judging from Fletcher's behavior just now, Freya already knew the answer, but she needed to hear it from him.

She just couldn't believe that her own father would do this to her.

Her blunt questioning embarrassed Fletcher. He averted his gaze and fumbled, "What do you mean? I'm your father! How dare you talk to me like that?"

Freya sneered, "You don't deserve to be my father. You owed me and my mom!"

Since what was done was done, Fletcher dropped the act and immediately changed the topic. "I heard that Brennan opened his eyes just now?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Freya was on high alert. She knew that Fletcher didn't bring this up because he cared about her.

Sure enough, he pretended to put on a gracious smile and said, "Freya, I let you marry into the Hayes family to get their investment. But I wasn't thinking straight at the time. Since you don't want this, then let Hailey take your place."

Freya could see the cunning look in his eyes.

She immediately understood what was going on.

When Hailey saw that Brennan had opened his eyes, she must've guessed he would wake up soon, so she told Fletcher. She wanted to become Mrs. Hayes.

Fletcher was being biased. While he let Freya marry a vegetable, he wanted Hailey to take her place now that Brennan might wake up.

Freya shook her head coldly. "I'm sorry. I've changed my mind. Marrying Brennan isn't such a bad idea."

As soon as she said this, both Hailey and Fletcher were shocked.

Hailey pointed at her and shouted anxiously, "Shame on you, Freya! You kept bitching about how you wanted to leave the Hayes family, and now you suddenly changed your mind. Obviously, you're just after their money!"

Fletcher also showed his true colors. "Freya, don't be stubborn. Get out of my sight before you ruin my good mood."

With a sneer, Freya provoked the two with a smirk. "Why would I want to give up my position as Mrs. Hayes? Brennan will have to give me half of his assets if we divorce. Why should I let this woman take my place?"

Just then, a deep and cold voice came from behind Freya.

"How dare you decide my marriage?"

Stunned, Freya whirled around.

Brennan, who had been lying motionless in bed just now, was standing at the stairs, looking down at them with his piercing eyes.

Brennan had woken up!
