President's Substitute Wife

Marcia’s driver got out of the car and opened the door. Marcia was in the wheelchair and said, “come on.”

I hesitated for a moment and got in the car with Briana and Doris.

No one spoke all the way. Marcia first drove to where I lived. I let Briana and Doris in and gave them the keys. Then I went back to Marcia’s car.

When I got in the car, I asked her, “Marcia, how did you know I was going to get kicked out?”

Marcia smiled. “Maybe we’re both disabled so I have an instinct.”

I lowered my eyes and was a little depressed. “We were in harmony, but we had a long foreplay and he found out...”

“That man is Sean, isn’t he?” Marcia looked at me.

I nodded.

Marcia leaned over and held my hand. She comforted me, “my leg is a turning point for me to break up with him.”

Hearing Marcia say that, I looked down at her leg.

On the surface, she was no different from a normal person. I thought there was something wrong with her and Sean’s nerves. I said, “can’t you operate on this leg?”

Hearing my words, Marcia smiled and said, “yes, actually I have a prosthetic limb. I can stand up and walk normally, but I don’t want to...”

“Why?”

I was surprised.

I thought the current technology could cure most diseases.

They were doctors and definitely knew new technology. She shouldn’t have been in a wheelchair for so many years.

Marcia looked at her leg and said, “my leg is like this because of Ming.”
