Regina, choking on her heartache, tugs Baron's pant leg and pleads, “Baron, I'm begging you to help me get through to the prison. Grandma just left, and I'm going to stay and take care of her funeral.”
Baron frowns. “Prison is not a place you can buy your way out of. I know you're sad, but think before you speak.”
“Have You Lost Your Mind?” Regina looked up at him. “I've been in prison for eleven months. I've been taken out of prison and given Sherry four blood transfusions. Didn't you pay for all of them? Why Not Now?”
“That's different.”
“What's different?” Regina begged, fighting back her grief, “I know that in your heart, no one is more important than Sherry, but the dead are the most important. Grandma raised me, and before she died, I was in prison and couldn't be a good father to her in bed. After she died, a wake is what I have to do. I Can't let her be alone without someone to take care of her, can I? Baron, I'm begging you.”
“Don't you have an uncle? I'll help you make Grandma leave with dignity.”
“It's not about the money.” Regina couldn't stop crying, “She's gone. There's no point in spending any more money on her funeral. I just want to give Grandma a ride. Baron, as long as you promise me, I'll give Sherry as much blood as you want from now on!”
“You think a blood transfusion is a bargaining chip, a quid pro quo?” Baron looked down at her, his low, cold voice like permanent snow, “Regina, you owe it to Sherry. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't be in that wheelchair.”
Regina closed her eyes in pain.
A year ago, Sherry fell down a flight of stairs, injuring her lower back and paralyzing her lower body, accusing Regina of pushing her.
No one in the Li family believed Regina. There were no cameras, no witnesses, and she couldn't prove her innocence.
In the end, her husband Baron told her: “Regina, Sherry is in agony. If you don't take the law into your own hands, she will never be able to swallow it. “It's three to 10 years for maiming. Sherry is a good person, and you only get one year.”
Regina just thought it was funny.
She didn't want to ask the police to investigate.
Sherry then took out a video, in which she pushed Sherry down the stairs, completely convicted her.
She would never forget the way the Li family looked at her when the video was played.
Hate, hate, as if the same air as she breathes is dirty...
......
Regina was eventually sent back to prison by Baron's bodyguards.
She bled to death and lay in bed for two days.
By the third day, in the prison activity room, Sherry's birthday party was being broadcast on television.
The president of the Li Group spent a lot of money to celebrate Sherry's birthday.
In the picture, Sherry is in a wheelchair, but her pure beauty is hard to hide.
Baron stands next to Sherry, taking care of her while she eats.
What a handsome couple.
Regina cried.
Grandma is buried today. He promised to help with the funeral, but now he is celebrating his birthday.
Now Regina knew.
The original does not love you, even for him to pay all, is not in exchange for a little response.
Regina has a secret. She's been in love with Baron for ten years.
Originally, he was an unattainable God, and she is just the most ordinary people in the world.
Like two parallel lines can never cross the two people, because of a car accident and changed the fate.
Three years ago, Baron was seriously injured in a car accident and became a vegetable.
The Li family had no choice but to look for famous doctors.
Mrs Li believes in Feng Shui and offers to marry Baron.
Sherry, who was supposed to marry him, was suddenly kidnapped.
Seeing that the auspicious day was coming, old Mrs. Li could only look for the girl who matched the eight characters and found Regina who was a part-time nurse in the Li family.
In exchange, Regina's sick grandmother could be admitted to the Li Group's Hospital for free treatment.
Li's Hospital is China's top, expensive, ordinary people simply can not afford.
Regina agreed without much hesitation.
But no one knows, she promised, not only for grandma, but also to fulfill their love.
Before that, she had been in love with Baron for seven years, so much so that she was willing to take care of him even if he didn't wake up.
A month later, Baron miraculously woke up.
Upon learning that he had married a woman, Baron was furious and filed for divorce.
But when he unwittingly learns that Regina's blood is rare, the divorce goes unmentioned.
Since then, Regina has been Sherry's mobile blood bank.
To keep Baron Happy, Regina never complained.
During those two years, she tried her best to take care of him, his family and a good wife until she was framed and imprisoned.
Ten years. Ten years.
Her purest love, her most selfless sacrifice, all gave Baron, in exchange for what?
It was he who had nothing but Sherry in his eyes and no regard for her.
Perhaps she was wrong to think that one day he could take his eyes off Sherry and find her.
......
It rained the day Regina got out of prison.
No one picked her up and she was drenched when she took several buses back to Yunyue Bay, where Baron is.
Opening the fingerprint lock, she entered the door and was greeted by Baron, who was descending the stairs.
Compared to Baron's dapper clothes, Regina is in a mess.
Baron looks at her and says, “What are you doing here?”
Regina quivered with her fingertips. “I'm getting out today,” she whispered
“Sorry, I forgot.” Baron stopped in front of her for two seconds. “Get some rest. I'm going out.”
“Baron.” Regina stopped him. “I need to talk to you.”
Baron looks up at his watch. “I'm in a hurry,” he says
As they pass, Regina reaches up and tugs at the cuffs of his suit
Baron was forced to stop, and a look of impatience crossed his handsome face. “Go ahead.”
Regina looked at his perfect, angular profile and gave him a faint smile. “Baron, let's get a divorce,” she said firmly
Baron looks at her and asks, “You're divorcing me because I didn't pick you up?”
“It's not that.” Regina's lips twitched. “I really want to divorce you. When you're free, we'll get it done.”
“Regina, I don't have the time or the mood to watch you fight right now.” The man's expression darkened as he pushed her hand away. “Go take a shower and sober up.”
Baron opens the door and leaves. Regina stands where she is, staring into a void.
Isn't she conscious enough?
No, she's sober.
She had never been more awake.
......
Regina goes upstairs to run a bath, picks up her charged cell phone and turns it on.
A month later, wechat received a lot of messages, but none of them belong to Baron.
Regina scrolled through her wechat moments, and the next thing she knew, she was swiping at her phone!
A few minutes ago, Sherry posted: “Companionship is the longest form of love.”
The picture was of her and Baron taking a selfie. The man was peeling an apple while Sherry was smiling for the camera.
