Chapter 1

I developed aphasia due to childhood trauma.

My parents, Eric Cox and Sharon Wilson, disliked me and made me marry my cousin Laura Cox's vegetative fiancé, Roman White, on her behalf.

After three years of my meticulous care, Roman miraculously woke up.

But the first thing he did after waking up was to ask for a divorce from me.

He mistook Laura for the one who had taken care of him during these three years and said that he would marry no one but her in his life.

Later, I heard his good friend explain to him that it was I who had taken care of him during those three years.

He smiled casually and said, "I already knew that, but my wife can't be a mute."

I was completely disappointed and asked a hypnotist to erase my memories to treat my aphasia.

When I woke up, I looked at the man in front of my hospital bed and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The man in front of me panicked...

Roman had been in a coma for three years, and when he woke up, the first person he saw was me, and he was quite disappointed.

I didn't notice the disappointment in his eyes. I happily helped him sit up and then told all our friends the good news.

Soon, the hospital room was crowded with people. And I was pushed into the corner, and no one paid the slightest attention to me.

Laura arrived late, wearing a beautiful blue evening dress, having just finished a party.

Roman took Laura's hand and said emotionally, "Honey, thank you for taking care of me these three years."

Everyone in the hospital room was stunned.

I stood aside, nervously tugging at the corner of my clothes, but I couldn't speak up to defend myself because I had aphasia.

His friend awkwardly explained, "Roman, Megan is your wife."

Roman frowned and looked at me with cold eyes, as if I had ruined the relationship between him and Laura.

I had always known that he loved Laura.

They should have gotten married, but because of a car accident, he became a vegetable.

My cousin didn't want to take care of him, so she went to Eric and Sharon and cried. I agreed to their request and married Roman instead of Laura.

However, I never expected that after taking care of him carefully for three years, this was the result I got.

I immediately picked up my phone and started typing, trying to explain, but was stopped by Laura.

She looked at me and said, "Megan, Roman has just woken up. He probably can't accept so much information at once. You'd better go out first."

The others in the hospital room sensed that something was wrong and made excuses to leave one after another.

When everyone had left, Laura cried and threw herself into Roman's arms.

She said, "Roman, you've finally woken up. I've been waiting for you for three years..."

My heart ached, and my hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

I had no idea how long it had passed. Laura opened the door of the hospital room, and there were still a few tears on her face.

I walked into the room curiously. A glass cup was shattered at my feet.

Roman said, "Megan, you went to great lengths to marry me! It's disgusting that you used such a trick!"

The flying glass shards scratched my calf, but my heart hurt even more.

Roman grew up with me, and he had been the only one who didn't dislike me for having aphasia and encouraged me to actively seek treatment.

But after he met Laura, he was unconsciously attracted to her.

The man who once said he would marry me gradually fell in love with her, and now he even regarded me as the villain who was ruining their relationship.

I was anxious and made some sign language gestures, then remembered that he couldn't understand them. I shakily picked up my phone to type and explain.

Laura looked at me provocatively and knocked the phone out of my hand. The phone fell to the ground, and the screen went black.

She said, "Megan, please let us be together!"

I stood there in a daze. Besides sign language, the phone was the only tool I could use to communicate with others. And now I couldn't even defend myself.

I shook my head desperately, but the world was cruel, and it was even more cruel for someone like me who couldn't speak.
