"Aunt, I beg you to save my mother. I will definitely return this money to you!"
Elena knelt in the living room and kowtowed a few times. There was already blood on her forehead.
"Save her? Do you think she can still be alive?" Her aunt sneered and her disgusted gaze swept across her body.
"She has been lying in the hospital for five years and still hasn't died. She can really endure it!"
Before Elena could say anything, her cousin Amara interrupted, "That's right! You clearly know that continuing to save her is a waste of money! Furthermore, if we lend you money, can you repay it in your lifetime?"
After Amara finished speaking, she didn't look at Elena and continued to play with her newly made nails.
Elena's eyes held tears, "I'll definitely earn money to return it to you in the future!"
"How do you earn money?" Her aunt looked at her with distain. She spoke mercilessly, "How can you make money? Are you going to sell your body?"
Elena was used to hear insulting words, but when she saw the proud expressions of the two in front of her, she couldn't help but feel sad.
In the car accident five years ago, her father died on the spot and her mother went into to vegetative state. Even the home that she grew up in was occupied by her uncle and aunt.
If she had a choice, even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't be willing to step into this family.
However, tomorrow was the deadline given by the hospital. If she couldn't borrow money today, her mother would lose her life.
Elena collapsed on the ground, "Aunt, I beg you, please save my mother. I can do anything you want, I beg you!"
Her Aunt and Amara looked at each other, their gaze once again fell on her. "It's not impossible for me to lend you money. If you marry Second Young Master of Monor family, I will give you the money."
Elena was stunned for a moment and pointed at Amara, "But the person the Monor family is going to marry tomorrow is Amara!"
"So what if it is me? Don't forget, the one who needs money now is you!" Amara stood up and opened the photo in her phone for her to see.
"Look at how your mother looks like with tubes all over her body. She definitely won't feel good, right?"
"Why do you have a picture of my mother?" Elena was halfway through her sentence when something flashed across her mind and her eyes suddenly widened. "Did you do it?"
Her eyes turned red. She wished she could bite them to pieces.
"You deliberately asked the doctor to remove the treatment device from my mother's ward, didn't you?"
Her angry and anxious look made the two very satisfied.
"You guessed right." Amara took back her phone, "Whether your mother is dead or alive depends on whether you agree or not."
Elena clenched her fists and her nails dug deep into her palm. The pain made her regain some rationality.
After a while, she glared at Amara, "Okay, I promise you!"
Her words were firm and powerful. "If I marry into the Monor family and you don't treat my mother, I will definitely not let you off!"
Hearing her agree, her aunt let out a sigh of relief.
"That's more like it. We are a family, so we should help each other. Furthermore, the Monor family is a prestigious family. You will definitely enjoy life after marring him!"
Elena lowered her head, and her tears gushed out.
Everyone knew that Second son of Monor family was disabled. It was also rumored that his personality was violent and fickle. In short, her life had been ruined.
The next day was the wedding.
Early in the morning, Elena sat in the car of the Lewis family and went to the wedding venue.
No matter how aggrieved Elena felt, she had to complete this wedding. Her mother was still in the hospital.
At the wedding venue, when Mr. Monor and Mrs. Monor saw Elena walk out, their expressions immediately became very ugly.
The Lewis family changing their bride at the last moment, this was clearly looking down on their son!
Ryan sat on the wheelchair at the end of the red carpet and there was no joy or anger on his face. He was like a wooden sculpture without any emotions. Only his eyes were dark and deep, making people feel as if they were sinking into an abyss.
Elena was surrounded and walked forward. Her two hands were tightly intertwined. She didn't know how Second Young Master of Monor family would treat her.
Elena's heart became more and more nervous. Finally seeing this man's face clearly, she was immediately shocked.
How could it be him!
Last month, when she went back to the Lewis family to borrow money, she was pulled into an alley by a man who suddenly rushed out and covered her mouth.
She struggled with all her might, but she was firmly held down by that man.
"Don't move, I won't hurt you." The man's low voice was oppressive, making her instantly stop moving.
Rushing footsteps came from the alley entrance, and a bright light shone in. The man quickly lowered his head and kissed her.
It was only after those people confirmed again and again that they turned around and left after cursing the couple.
The thick scent of blood drifted into her nostrils, and she became nervous again.
"Are you hurt? Are those people here to catch you?"
The man didn't answer. He put on his cloths and asked expressionlessly, "What's your name?"
The alley was very dark. Elena covered her face and casually said a name, "My name is Ella." She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
The man thanked her and staggered towards the entrance of the alley.
The moment he turned around, she saw the man's handsome face under the dim moonlight.
She stood in the red carpet and looked at the Second son of Monor family, who was about to become her husband. Her heart trembled. She subconsciously looked at his legs.
This impolite action caused an uproar.
Luckily, Ryan calmly opened his mouth to help her out. "Don't you know that my lower body is paralyzed?"
"I know!" Elena hurriedly replied. She suppressed the shock in her heart.
Everyone know Ryan Monor's disability. She should also know.
She must have seen wrongly. That man from a month ago was very healthy. How could he be the second son of Monors in front of her?
Furthermore, with his status, it was impossible for anyone to chase after him.
It should be her who remembered wrongly!
Elena thought this and finally calmed down.
Ryan Monor was not able to move, so the wedding should be simplified. The emcee simply said a few words and then announced, "The ceremony is done! The groom can kiss the bride now!"
Ryan sat in his wheelchair. Elena could not even bend down in her wedding dress. It was also troublesome for them to kiss.
The emcee was about to smooth things over and let the bride and groom return to the room to kiss when he saw the bride holding the wedding dress with one hand and kneeling down on one knee.
"Mr Monor, I'm sorry. I can't squat down in my high heels. That's all I can do."
Her words had given Ryan enough face.
Ryan's eyes flashed. He pulled Elena's arm. Elena turned around and sat on Ryan's lap.
"In the future, you call me husband!"
Elena panicked. "Your leg."
"It's fine. My leg has long lost all feeling."
Ryan's low voice rang beside Elena's ear, sounding somewhat familiar. She did not have time to think and a slightly cold lips pressed down and pressed against her lips.
After the kiss ended, Ryan didn't let her go. He directly hugged her and said to the emcee, "Cancel the rest of the arrangements."
After he said that, the two of them left the scene.
The new room didn't have any decorations, so it wasn't much different from an ordinary room. In Ryan's heart, this wedding was just a formality, and it was not important.
Ryan put her on the bed and told her not to move. He left for a moment. When he reappeared, there was a medical kit on his lap.
"What does this mean?" Elena was surprised.
"Take off your shoes." Ryan opened the medicine box. "Do your feet still hurt?"
Elena was stunned. She tried her best not to be discovered. She did not think that this matter was still discovered by Ryan.
So, he canceled the arrangements at the back and even used a wheelchair to bring her back to her room. It was because he knew that she sprained her ankle at the wedding.
Elena was a little surprised.
It was rumored that Ryan Monor had a strange personality. He was temperamental. She thought that Ryan didn't care about the wedding at all.
"Do you want me to help you take off your shoes?" Ryan's voice was cold and he frowned.
"No, I can do it myself!" Elena immediately recovered her senses and took off her high heels in embarrassment.
She had lived for twenty years and this was the first time she wore high heels.
"You apply the medicine yourself. There is a set of clothes in the closet, and daily necessities are in the bathroom. Remember to come downstairs for dinner after you take a shower."
Ryan seemed to have thought of something at the last minute. He put the medical kit in her hand and walked out with a gloomy face.
Elena was a little confused and did not dare to ask.
She applied the medicine herself and limped over to open the cabinet. Inside was full of women's cloths.
And the size was exactly what she could wear.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence or not. In short, from the beginning to the start of the wedding until now, things were not as bad as she had expected.
Apart from Ryan Monor's temper, the rumors about his being temperamental still made sense.
After Ryan finished his meal, he sat in his wheelchair and walked out. A man at the door immediately went forward to open the door for him. His attitude was respectful.
"Where are you going?" Elena asked hesitantly. She saw that he was quiet and did not speak much. There was no intimacy between the two of them.
"Do I need to report you?" Ryan turned around and saw that Elena wanted to follow him but stopped because of his words. His heart softened and he could not help but say, "I'm going to work at the company. If you are bored at home, you can take a stroll on the streets."
Elena replied, "Okay!" She didn't not know how to speak.
At this moment, the man behind Ryan took out a card.
"Madam, this is the bank card Young Master prepared for you. You can buy whatever you want when you go shopping."
Elena was slightly stunned. The value of her existence was to accompany him to eat every day, then go shopping to buy things?
If that was really the case, she might be able to use the money in this card to treat her mother in the hospital.
Although they had just gotten married and it would not be inappropriate for her to use his money now, what she lacked the most right now was money.
"Thank you."
She turned around with the card in her hand, but she did not see the disgusted expression on Ryan's face the moment she took the card.
In the car, the driver looked at Ryan's gloomy face and could not help but ask, "Sir, are you still thinking about Madam?"
"Find someone to follow her." Ryan ordered coldly. This woman knew that he was disabled, but she was still willing to marry him. She definitely had a motive.
"Sir, I have confirmed that Madam is indeed the young lady of Lewis family, but not the previous one."
The corner of Ryan's mouth curled up, "Lewis family is really bold."
"Do you want me to go to the Lewis family?"
"No need." Ryan interrupted him, "This marriage is only for outsiders to see. I never hope that Lewis family can help me. No matter who I marry, it will be the same for me."
At the wedding, he saw Amara. The woman who should have been his wife was flirting with his elder brother, Roman.
"Also, did you find out about Ella, who saved me half a month ago?"
He went to that alley to find some clues about that woman. Unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras nearby, so he could not find any clues.
"I've already gone to investigate, but there's still no news for now. If it doesn't work, I'll send people to every house to find her!"
In the old district that was on the verge of demolition, many housed were already empty. The rest were people who had livied there since young, and they were unwilling to move.
"You need to verify those people's identities as soon as possible."
That night, not only his elder brother Roman's men were involved in the assassination, but also a mysterious force.
"Yes!" The driver nodded and asked again, "Sir, what about Miss Thomas?"
Before he finished speaking, Ryan's gaze landed on him, making his immediately shut his mouth, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said too much."
...
After the meal, Elena rushed to the hospital.
The people from the Lewis family promised to pay her mother's the medical fees after the wedding. She wanted to see if the money had been transferred to her account.
The doctor said that after most patients were paralyzed for a year or two, their bodies would not be able to withstand it and they would suffer from organ failure. Her mother was lucky. She did not show any signs of organ failure, which increased the hope of recovery in the future.
Elena thanked the doctor and went to the ward.
"Mom, I am married. Forgive me for acting on my own accord, but you can rest assured that this identity is no different to me. Besides, Ryan treats me very well. Mom, you don't have to worry about me."
Although she knew that her mother couldn't hear her, she was still used to sharing anything with her mother immediately.
Ryan's lower body was crippled. This marriage was fake, so she was no different from before.
"Mom, you should rest first. I'm going out to buy some daily necessities."
Elena took her things and walked out of the hospital.
She didn't have that much money on her. She usually worked part-time to earn some money to pay for her mother's medical expenses. This morning Ryan gave her a bank card, which really helped her a lot.
Elena bought some daily necessities. She heard a familiar voice at the door of a premium bag store.
"Their brand is not bad. The skincare products I bought before were all here."
"Amara, your taste is good. Let's go and take a look."
The world was so big, why did she meet Amara wherever she went?
Elena did not want to meet her. She originally planned to hide for a while before walking out. She didn't think that Amara would actually discover her.
"Younger sister, why are you here?"
Enemies were really easy to meet!
