My Fiancé Sent Me To Another Man On Our Wedding Day Chapter 17
After that, I never saw Rafael again.
I heard from friends that he had started drinking heavily. His health deteriorated, and his remaining kidney failed.
This time, it was worse.
There wasn’t much the doctors could do.
Six months later, Rafael’s mother called me.
She was crying.
“Helena, Rafael doesn’t have much time. Can you… can you come see him one last time?”
I listened quietly, then said no.
Not long after, Rafael died.
Some time later, I heard that Margot’s parents had succeeded in selling her off to a wealthy older man to settle their other debts.
He had a terrible temper, and she was miserable.
But none of that had anything to do with me anymore.
My life with Conrad was steady and peaceful.
Old Mr. Hawthorne’s health gradually improved.
Five months later, I gave birth to a daughter.
My husband loves me.
My daughter is perfect.
My life had finally become the life I wanted.
Later, I learned that Conrad hadn’t wanted to accept the arranged marriage at first.
He had been living abroad for years and only returned two days before the wedding.
The moment he got off the plane, his parents told him Old Mr. Hawthorne was gravely ill and that the family elders had arranged a marriage for him to bring some good fortune to the house.
