Lucas said, “It’s because Anya saved you back then that her body was damaged by the snake’s venomand lost the ability to bear children forever! You should know without me telling you how much it wouldhurt physically and psychologically for a girl to lose the chance to be a mother from a young age!Besides, it’s Anya’s dream to be a mother since childhood! It’s because of you that she could neverfulfill her dream! How could you be so indifferent to her now?”

Jeremy’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed and he said nothing.

What Lucas said was indeed the truth.

When he got injured 15 years ago, he was bitten by a venomous snake while he hid in a bush in avillage to flee from danger. As the venom spread, he was on the brink of death, and he lost his vision;so he could not save himself.

He was saved by a girl who passed by. It was because she sucked the venom out of his wound that hemanaged to live!

Later, the girl found him with the keepsake he left for her. It was only then he learn she was theRiveras’ second daughter, Anya, who happened to be staying at the summer resort in the

countryside.

He also learned that because Anya did not manage to spit out all the venom in her mouth in time aftersaving him that day, her body was damaged by the venom, and she lost the ability to bear children.

There was no way for him to make it up to Anya for the regret he caused her. Therefore, he wasfulfilling all of her requests and being at her beck and call all these years.

A month ago, Anya suddenly came to him in tears one day. She told him she saw one of herclassmates was married and pregnant when they met at the class reunion. She envied her very much,and she also wanted to be a mother.

She said as long as she had a child, she would feel her life was very happy and complete, and shewould not bother him that often anymore in the future to avoid causing misunderstandings between himand Corinne.

Of course, Jeremy knew it was inappropriate, but he felt guilty. Because of that, he said yes to Anyaafter carefully thinking over it for a few days.

Anya suggested that they go to Kecharia to adopt an orphan. Because only a poor country likeKecharia would not need a marriage certificate and other complicated verifications for a couple to adopta child.

She did not wish to tell her family as she was afraid they would stop her. She also did not trust

any other man. Therefore, she begged him to go with her as her boyfriend and help her adopt a child.She would not trouble him with whatever came after that anymore.

It took them half a month from the time they departed to Kecharia to return after getting all the adoptionprocedures done.

The child came down with a fever on the day they brought him back, so they took him to the hospital assoon as their plane landed. Fortunately, it was no big deal.

That was also the day Corrine called him one last time when he was at the hospital before she ran off.

Thinking of the little rascal who went missing, Jeremy’s eyes became more and more bloodshot.

After Lucas said so many things, he saw that Jeremy still did not react at all. Feeling helpless, hesighed again. “Anya has lost the ability to have children. This is not something you can fully make it upto her by helping her adopt a child. Jeremy, Anya’s only wish in this life was to be with you. Only youcan bring her happiness! Even though our families have some residual animosity from generations ago,I’m willing to do my best to reconcile for Anya; so I hope it’s the same for you as well!”

Jeremy regained his senses and looked at Lucas with an unfathomable gaze.

“Lucas, are you forgetting that I’m already a married man? I can’t marry again. Bigamy is illegal.”

Lucas was stunned, then he sneered.

“Married? You can’t mean your marriage to Corinne, right? To my knowledge, both of you have neverbeen married. The reason you brought her into your family initially was just to console your grandfatherso he would go through with the transplantation procedure.
