President's Substitute Wife

I stood there. I didn’t have to look closely to see that this man was Marlin. He still wore the same dress he wore during the day.

The rain fell on him. His thin body seemed so shaky.

I said, “uncle, I’ve said you’re mistaken. Why are you here? How did you find it?”

My tone was peaceful as if I had nothing to do with him.

No, I really had nothing to do with him.

Marlin walked up to me step by step and grabbed my clothes with her hands. “June, we were wrong before. I told your mother I saw you when I got home. She insisted that you go home for dinner. She made the meal.”

Could Inez cook?

I didn’t believe it.

Inez said she was a lady. She didn’t go into the kitchen at all. Could she cook now? I didn’t believe it.

“What are you going to do?” Ming asked me with an umbrella.

If I didn’t care about him, I was afraid Marlin would really stand here all night.

After all, he was living a hard life now. If he was in a coma in front of his own daughter’s door, it was sure to attract attention.

I hesitated and asked marlin, “uncle, where do you live? We will send you back. You’re really wrong.”

“Uncle, her name is Becky. She’s not the one you’re looking for.”

Ming said it for me.

“Becky? What Becky!” Marlin was excited. “She’s my daughter. Her name is June!”

“I...”

“Your mother almost died in the hospital to give birth to you and your sister. Please go back and see her.”

Marlin’s hand took my arm.

The chill penetrated my skin. I couldn’t help shivering.

I took my hand back and looked at Ming. “Let’s take this uncle to your hospital. He seems to be out of his mind.”

To be honest, the last people I wanted to see here were Marlin and Inez.

Marlin was excited when I finished. He grabbed me, “I’m out of my mind? I’m too awake! One of my two daughters died. People said it was you who died, but I saw the picture. I know Molly died! We’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
