Crippled by Deception, Now They Drown in RegretChapter 1
Five years after reuniting with my wealthy biological family, the so-called heiress Scarlett Harrison ran me down with her car, shattering my leg.
My parents and my childhood sweetheart, Elijah Parker, rushed me to the hospital in a panic. When the doctor solemnly declared that I might never walk again, Elijah dropped to one knee without hesitation, vowing to take care of me for the rest of my life.
My parents had severed all ties with Scarlett and taken charge of the evidence, assuring me that justice would be served. With that, I could finally rest and focus on my recovery.
Later, they claimed Scarlett had drowned accidentally while fleeing in guilt and I believed them.
It wasn’t until five years into my marriage that I unexpectedly saw Scarlett, the woman who was supposed to be dead.
She cradled a little boy in her arms, her voice soft yet brimming with emotion as she spoke to Elijah.
“These past years, I’ve been so grateful to you and Mom and Dad. Without you, I would have ended up in some run-down sewing factory cast aside by Azalea.”
