Chapter 4

The cold water splashed on my face, and I almost couldn't help but open my eyes.

Seeing that I still didn't move, Rachel turned to look at the chubby boy. "Feixiang! You're being naughty again. How could this useless woman possibly wake up!"

The chubby boy shouted, "Mommy, if you don't believe me, you can ask Lily. She saw it too!"

Rachel glanced at me before preparing to take Mr. Cole and the others to find Lily. I wasn't sure if Lily had returned to her kennel, and if they went now, she would inevitably suffer a beating.

No, I had to buy Lily some time!

I suddenly opened my eyes, my body involuntarily convulsing. Mr. Cole and the others, who were about to turn around, saw me open my eyes and were too shocked to speak.

"She's awake, she's awake!" Mr. Cole pointed at me, his emotions running high.

Rachel hadn't reacted yet and teased Mr. Cole, "Dad, why are you being as mischievous as a child? This stinking woman has been paralyzed for five years. How could she possibly..."

Rachel suddenly turned around, her eyes widening as they met mine. "How is this possible? This can't be! Quick, go call Derek!"

Soon after, I was helped into a wheelchair by Mrs. Wilson.

Derek, still wearing his pajamas and looking half-asleep, was called by Mrs. Wilson.

Derek pretended to caress my hand affectionately. "Olivia, you're really awake. That's wonderful!"

I secretly pulled my hand away, my head deliberately tilted. I pointed at Derek, unable to speak, making only "mmm" sounds.

If I didn't do this, Derek's cautious nature would surely keep me under strict surveillance.

The reason I pretended to be unable to speak was to make them lower their guard.

Derek and the others exchanged glances before understanding my condition.

Although I had woken up and opened my eyes, and my arms had regained mobility, my speech function and legs hadn't recovered. I was basically in a semi-paralyzed state.

Derek and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Rachel also pretended to hold my hand. "Sister Olivia, don't worry. As long as the Shaw family has food to eat, you'll have food to eat. We'll take good care of you!"

At this moment, Mr. Cole inappropriately asked Derek, "Derek, now that Olivia has woken up, will you and Rachel still get married tomorrow?"

Derek glanced at him, then looked at me and said, "Olivia, you won't blame me for marrying Rachel, will you? Don't worry, we'll all be family from now on. Even if I marry Rachel, I definitely won't abandon you!"

I secretly scoffed. The Qing Dynasty fell over a hundred years ago. What, are you trying to bring back polygamy here?

Seeing my expression, Derek changed his tone. "I've already drafted our divorce agreement. As for some property division issues, as long as you sign this agreement, you can find someone you love after you recover."

I laughed coldly in my heart. What exactly did this beast take me for? Did he think I would go along with his schemes, without principles or bottom line like him?

Rachel added a comment that made me even angrier.

"Sister Olivia, why don't you just transfer Shaw Enterprises to our Derek? After all, we're family. We'll ensure that you and your daughter live in luxury for the rest of your lives!"

I coldly watched them perform like clowns in front of me. If I'm not mistaken, these lowly servants and ordinary people wouldn't have today's wealth and status without my support.

These ungrateful wretches, they're finally showing their true colors, aren't they?

If I really handed Shaw Enterprises over to them, what awaited me would surely be a miserable fate. I probably wouldn't live long enough to follow my parents!

I'm not afraid of death, but what about my daughter if I die!

If I die, won't this vast family fortune fall entirely into Derek's hands?

In the future, he'll live in my house, spend my money, and enjoy life with other women?

Even if I'm in the underworld, seeing this beast living so comfortably would make me angry enough to crawl out of my grave.

I didn't respond to them. Derek and the others probably didn't know what to do with me. After Mrs. Wilson changed my bedding, they all went back to sleep.

I secretly wiped away cold sweat. Fortunately, while they were calling Derek, I had hidden the phone in a secret compartment in the headboard.

If Mrs. Wilson had found the phone, I would have been completely exposed.

If they knew I had contacted Ethan, I probably wouldn't survive the night.

Lying in bed, I thought about my next move. But before I could figure it all out, something happened to Lily!
