Guardian-In-Law

Clearwater Villa, outside a downpour raged.

"Ethan, our child is sick, could you lend me $200,000 first?" Nora Lee, drenched and shivering from the cold, stood in the hall, holding her child with an anxious expression.

Ethan Black, still dressed in a proper suit, contrasted sharply with her disheveled state.

His indifferent voice replied, "Thats your child."

The mental preparation she had made was no match for the pain inflicted by this mans heartlessness.

She choked out, "For the five years Ive been with you, could you please... save him!"

A scornful sneer reached Noras ears, followed by the mans harsh voice, "Nora, this child should never have existed in this world!"

Nora trembled, unsure if it was from the storm or the mans merciless words.

"I know its all my fault, but Ive already lost two children. This child is my last chance to be a mother."

"What does it have to do with me?"

The mans cold words were spoken slowly, but it was that slowness that made them especially cruel.

It was like being doused with a bucket of frost, freezing the blood in an instant.

The child suddenly cried out, causing Noras heart to panic. Despite the torrential rain, Nora had wrapped the child well in a raincoat, keeping it dry.

She anxiously checked the child, coaxing it gently.

Ethan Black looked down at the child with an unnatural flush on its face, his eyes dark.

"$200,000, please, I just need $200,000, and I will never appear in front of you again." Nora looked up at Ethan Black, her tone filled with deep humility and pleading.

Seeing Ethan didnt speak for a long time, Nora, like a gambler with red eyes, threatened, "Your mother probably doesnt know about this childs existence."

Ethans mother had wanted a grandchild for a long time.

Knowing that mentioning his mother would lead to a fierce battle, Nora was willing to provoke the man to save her child.

Sure enough, the cold aura around Ethan Black closed in, chilling Nora to the bone.

Noras heart trembled, but she still stiffened her neck, forcing herself not to compromise.

"Nora, you are really something," Ethan Black gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Want money, right? Fine, Ill give it to you!"

With that, he ordered, and the butler quickly brought a box.

But before Nora could feel any joy, she saw the banknotes falling like a red rain in the air.

One by one, they filled the entire hall.

"Arent you asking for money? As long as you kneel and pick them up, this money will all be yours."

Ethan Blacks voice carried a chilling coldness, with implied anger.

Noras body swayed, she clenched her fists, and after a while, she looked at the man in front of her with a miserable smile.

The man she had loved for five years, willing to follow without a name, could now mock her so!

Noras body gradually grew cold, her eyes filled with tears, but she forced them not to fall.

Her knees slowly bent, these dignity and face, in front of the child, nothing was important.

"Well, I kneel!"

With a thud, her knees hit the ground, shattering Noras last shred of dignity.

A tear also fell to the ground, and then the tears seemed to lose control, falling all over her face.

Nora, holding the child with one hand, trembled as she crawled on her knees to pick up the money that had fallen to the ground.

She told herself, dont cry, dont cry.

The more she picked up, the more hope there was for the babys cure.

Its okay, as long as theres money, the child can be saved!
