Chapter 6

In the Sacred Church, Elisa, dressed in a white veil and holding flowers, walked slowly towards the priest in the center, without any music or father’s support. Suelen and Olivia below looked at her with disgust and mokery, occasionally whispering to each other, but Elisa couldn’t hear anything. She was still immersed in the shock of Anna’s request. “Although Robert has been in a coma for three years, all his bodily functions are fine. The doctor said you can conceive naturally and have a baby.” “Mrs. Fischer, wouldn’t it be impolite to do this without Mr. Fischer’s consent?” Elisa was hesitated. She thought the Fisher family only wanted someone to take care of Mr. Fischer, but she didn’t expect this requirement. Damn it! “Don’t worry about that. If my son wakes up, I will talk to him. The Fischer family is big and complicated. If my son doesn’t wake up, our properties will eventually fall into the hands of others. We really need a legitimate heir.” “But we have many ways to obtain an heir. With the advanced technology of in vitro fertilization, maybe we can…” “I understand what you mean, but his grandfather is traditional. He still hope that you can fulfill the duties of a wife. When you become pregnant, your mother will undergo surgery.” Faced with Anna’s firm tone, Elisa reluctantly agreed, even though she was very unwilling in her heart. However, at this critical moment, she couldn’t give up. … “I am now honored to announce, through the bride’s solemn commitment and vows, she has now become Mr. Fischer’s wife.” Elisa snapped back to reality amidst the priest’s solemn words. She had made the oath alone and had put the wedding ring on herself. There was no groom at her wedding, nor anyone who truly cared about her. It was an incredibly eerie wedding. After the priest announced the completion of the wedding, Anna approached the priest to express her gratitude, then came to Elisa, “The butler will take you to the hospital. Normally, the wedding night should be hold at home, but you know Robert’s condition. We can only inconvenience you for a while and have you go to the hospital first. Remember what you promised me, don’t disappoint me. I have some matters to attend to in my company, so I’ll leave first. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.” After Anna finished her instructions, she hurriedly left the church with her assistant. Elisa lifted her skirt and prepared to follow the butler out when she heard applause behind her. “Congratulations, my sister,” Olivia slowly walked up to Elisa. “You’ll spend the rest of your life taking care of a vegetable.” “Sweet, have you forgotten? Taking care of people is her specialty, isn’t it? Before, it was her dying mother, and now it’s just a disabled husband,” Suelen walked up next to Olivia, and they were chuckled. Elisa coldly glanced at the two of them. “I hope when the Fischer family hears your words, you’ll still be able to laugh as well.” Suelen thought of Mrs. Fisher’s powerful presence and felt a shiver in her heart. “You… how dare you threaten me! The Fischer family means nothing to us!” “Don’t forget our agreement. I will come find you tomorrow!” Elisa said coldly, turning and walking towards the door. From now on, she was Mr. Fisher’s wife, and her mother would have the money for treatment. But she had promised Anna to bear a child with her husband. How could she make that happen? Elisa got into the Fischer family’s car, still immersed in confusion about the future, when suddenly her phone vibrated. Seeing an unknown number, Elisa worried it might be a call from the hospital, so she quickly pick up the phone. “Hello, is this Melody Maestro?” a strange man’s voice came through the phone. Elisa furrowed her brows slightly, feeling cautious. “Who are you? How did you get my contact information?” “Hello! I was wondering if you accept outside engagements. I would like to inquire about booking a live performance from you…” Before Charles could finish his sentence, the call abruptly disconnected. When he attempted to call back, he received a message stating that the number was unreachable. Charles now understood that he was likely being mistaken for a pervert and had been blocked… In this moment, Charles felt an overwhelming sense of shame. As Mr. Fischer’s golden assistant, he was always the person others pleaded to speak with. This was the first time someone had hung up on him and even blocked his number. Charles clenched his teeth in anger, contemplating Mr. Fischer’s comatose state. “Never mind! I will come up with another solution.”
