Chapter 3

“I do!” Elisa knew there must be a conspiracy behind this marriage, and Suelen was definitely hiding something. However, she had no better choice at the moment, so she agreed without any hesitation. “Since you’re willing, that’s great.” Surprisingly, Elisa agreed so quickly, Suelen and Olivia exchanged a joyful glance. Suelen took out a check from her bag and handed it to Elisa. “I’m much more generous than your father. Here’s two hundred thousand dollars. I’ll give you another three hundred thousand after your wedding.” “Deal.” Elisa took the check and turned around, striding out of the office. She had achieved her goal for today, and she didn’t care who gave her the money as long as it could immediately save her mother’s life. “Mom, I’m so happy. I don’t have to marry that vegetative man! And from now on no one dares to take my Yan brother away from me.” As Elisa’s figure disappeared from sight, Olivia clung to Suelen’s arm and coquettishly said. “Silly girl, even if she doesn’t marry, she doesn’t have the qualifications to compete with you. Remember, you are the only daughter of the Barson family!” “As for Elisa, marrying a man in a vegetative state, her life is ruined. Let’s wait and see the show.” “”””””””””” “Elisa! Look at Twitter!” Just as Elisa had finished tending to her wounds at home, she received a message from a friend. Curiously, she opened Twitter and discovered that the top trending news at the moment was: “Barson Group CEO’s illegitimate daughter comes to claim her father, and Mrs. Barson pays a huge check to settle the dispute,” the accompanying picture was of Suelen handing her the check. Elisa felt a wave of irony as she read the comments below. “Oh My God, the Barson Group CEO always seemed so loving towards his wife. Who would have thought he would do something like this and even let his illegitimate daughter show up!” “The Barson family always appears as a happy family of three at various charity events and donation sites. Mr. Barson is undoubtedly a kind”hearted entrepreneur. This incident must be a setup by the gold digger in the photo!” “It’s obvious she’s here for the money. This woman must have deliberately approached Mr. Barson for money! We must not let her succeed!” Countless insults followed. Elisa clenched her fingers. She could easily guess who was behind this, but until she received the remaining 300,000 dollars, she had to endure it. Taking care of her mother’s illness was the most important thing at the moment. Elisa entered her mother’s ward, there was another patient in this ward before, but he just got discharged, so now only her mom is left. Feeling angry about the Twitter incident. Elisa took a deep breath and sat by her mother’s side as usual, ready to sing to her mother. The doctor encouraged her to sing regularly because she had a beautiful voice. Her singing was moving, as if it could touch souls and hearts. Sometimes, her mother would have a slight reaction when she heard her singing. So, Elisa developed the habit of singing to her mother every day. As usual, Elisa opened her phone and prepared to record the song she sang today to upload it to YouTube. She was also a blogger with tens of thousands of followers. After finishing setting up her phone, Elisa began to sing “My Heart Will Go On”. This was her favorite song, and only when she sang it could she feel a moment of tranquility. Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, That is how I know you go on Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on … Elisa’s voice became choked up. The lyrics were exactly what she wanted to express to her mother. “Mom, when will you wake up?” After finishing the song, Elisa wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and uploaded the audio to her YouTube account. Then she lay down next to her mother and fell into a sleepy daze. …………………. Meanwhile, in a private luxury nursing romm, the instruments on both sides of the hospital bed were emitting a rhythmic ticking sound. There was a slender man lying on the single bed, he had curly blonde hair, thick eyebrows, and long eyelashes. Despite his tightly closed eyes, his former charm could still be discerned from the contours of his face and his features. His complexion was unusually pale, and he was peacefully asleep, with even his breathing barely audible. Next to his ear, there lay a vibrant phone with the YouTube subscription list displayed on the screen. At that moment, a new video was being refreshed. The video page showcased an adorable microphone icon, and after a few seconds of buffering, it automatically began playing. A sweet and pure voice resonated, smooth and captivating. Even without any musical accompaniment, it managed to evoke emotions and strike a chord with the listeners. At that moment, she was singing the theme song from Titanic. Love can touch us once And last for a lifetime And never let go until we’re gone ….. Charles had just stepped out of the bathroom and was about to retrieve his phone, which he had left beside Mr. Fischer, when suddenly he heard the computer in the observation room emit a series of beeping alarms. Raising his gaze, he noticed the data line on the instrument fluctuating dramatically. Startled, Charles quickly comprehended what was transpiring and immediately sprinted towards the door. “Doctor! Doctor! Mr. Fischer is awake!”
