"I told you the hospital is just a money-making scam. It's all up to the divine healer. Felix, you need to find a way to make Katrina agree to marry and have a wedding for my grandson. That way, he will survive."
My whole body trembled. The tearful person speaking was none other than my kind, understanding, and loving prospective mother-in-law.
"I don't know what's gotten into her. She suddenly mentioned her friend being abused and is now hesitant about getting married. Isn't it normal for men to hit their wives? She better not push me too far, or else I'll..."
"Alright, stop. You need to endure a bit longer. The one in the house is useless now. We can't squeeze any more money out of her. Don't mess up the sure thing."
"I know, even if she refuses to marry now, I will find a way to get her dowry. When the time comes, she will have to marry."
Grandson? Wedding? Hitting wives is normal? Dowry?
Bang!
My entire body felt like it had been struck by lightning, and my scalp tingled.
I tried to take a deep breath, but it felt like I was sinking into the sea, struggling to breathe.
Was this Felix's true nature? How many more secrets was he hiding from me?
