My mother chuckled indulgently. "She has no right to be mad. She'll marry Jacob and won't have to worry about food or money. Why does she need this little money? Back when your dad passed away and things were the worst, I got acute leukaemia. You were the one who gave me blood every day and even donated your bone marrow. From that moment on, I swore you're the only daughter I'll ever recognize in this life. There's not much money left and I still feel like I owe you. I know you love Jacob, too and I already talked to him. Your sister's in no condition to have kids anyway. So on their wedding night, you'll take her place. You'll be the one to give birth to Jacob's first child."
Kimberly blushed and replied sweetly, "I'll do whatever you say, Mom."
My mother pushed open the door right as my eyes met hers. A guilty look flashed across her face and she stammered, "Sweetheart, since you've heard everything, I won't hide it from you anymore. The Tang family is big and needs an heir. But don't worry, the position of Mrs. Todd ... "
"I agree," I interrupted calmly. "In my condition, it's not convenient for me to attend the wedding anyway. Let Kimmy go in my place."
