Chapter 1

My husband and his mistress went hiking deep in the mountains one night, only to tragically fall off a cliff.

By the time I rushed to the hospital, he was unconscious, being wheeled into surgery.

The doctor asked me about the resuscitation plan, and I sobbed, screaming,

“I’ll spend every last dime! He *has* to live!”

Jasmine arrived at the hospital, holding a child and clutching a will, ready to dispute the inheritance with me.

“The law states that illegitimate children have inheritance rights. And I have Liam’s will right here. It says 90% of his assets go to my son! Besides the will, you’ll also have to pay me child support every month!”

I pointed at my husband, lying paralyzed and speechless from a stroke on the bed.

“You said it yourself, it’s a will. Come back when my husband is actually dead.”

I got the call about Liam being rushed to the hospital.

I was busy investigating and liquidating Liam's assets, calculating how much I’d get if he cheated and we divorced.

Liam was a senior executive at a top tech firm, worth hundreds of millions. When I heard he was cheating, I was ecstatic.

When the hospital called, I was over the moon.

All his assets would finally be mine.

But I never expected Jasmine to block me at the emergency room door, holding a child and a will.

“Your husband left a will, and he left all his money to my son.”

I glanced at the child in Jasmine’s arms, who looked exactly like Liam.

Then I sprinted to the operating room entrance and burst into tears.

“Liam, I’m here! You have to pull through!”

The doctor rushed up to me, urgently asking for my decision.

“You’re the family, right? The patient has severe brain damage. Even if he survives, he might be bedridden for life. The rescue costs and subsequent nursing fees will be incredibly high. Please consider it. We respect the family’s wishes.”

I snatched the pen and papers from the doctor’s hand without hesitation: “Please! You *must* save my husband’s life! I’ll lose everything, I don’t care!”

The doctor started to say something else, but I boldly signed my name with a flourish.

I declared, my voice firm: “Spend whatever it takes! I’ll take care of him for the rest of my life!”

The doctor nodded, clearly moved, and quickly turned back into the operating room.

Jasmine, holding her child beside me, sneered: “I never realized you were so deeply in love with Liam! What a pity, he loved *me*.”

I shot her a glare, my gaze fixed on the closed operating room door.

Thankfully, Liam was eventually saved.

Thank goodness. He was paralyzed in bed, unable to move anything but his eyeballs.

He’d need lifelong care.

Seeing Liam in such a state, Jasmine could only negotiate with me.

“Liam and I were true love. We even had a child. How about this: you give me twenty million dollars, and I’ll disappear. We’ll consider the will void.”

I chuckled, looking at Jasmine: “What Liam and you being ‘true love’ has to do with me? I’m his wife of ten years. Who are you to demand anything? Twenty million? Go look in a mirror. You’re not even worth two bucks!”

Jasmine tossed the will onto Liam’s bed, speaking imperiously.

“Liam’s will is right here. It says he’s leaving ninety percent of his money to our son. I’m only asking for twenty million now, and you won’t even give that? Don’t wait until Liam dies to regret it.”

I rolled my eyes at Jasmine, who was still spouting about “true love.”

“If it’s true love, why are you so eager for him to die? You said it yourself, it’s a will. Come back when it can actually be enforced.”
