Chapter 1

　　The tearing pain swept across her body and spread to her limbs. 　　Maria clenched the man's arm with both hands as her nails deeply embedded in his skin. 　　He seemed to have noticed that she was crying and was disappointed. The man got up indifferently and went directly to the bathroom. 　　Boom-- 　　The bathroom door closed, and water started to patter. 　　In the dark, Maria was holding herself in the bedding and shaking in pain. 　　A month ago, her adoptive mother's son fainted suddenly in pain. He was brought to the hospital for an examination. The result of the exam showed that he had kidney cancer and needed urgent surgery. The medical expenses were definitely high. 　　She was forced by her adoptive mother to make money, so she had no choice but to be with this man. 　　To protect the man's identity, everything has to be done with confidentiality. In a remote villa, she's blindfolded in a dark room with thick black curtains. She doesn't know who the man is. 　　Squeak 　　Within ten minutes, the man opened the door and came out of the bathroom. 　　"Sir, the money..." 　　Maria endured the pain as she wore her dress, sat on the bed, and asked in a low voice. 　　"Haven't you left yet?" The man thought she was gone. After a moment of silence, he said, "I won't use you anymore. Since you're afraid of pain, don't force it." 　　"No, no. I really need this money." 　　When the man said that she didn’t need her to come, Maria’s face paled in fright. Using the faint light, enduring the pain of her body, she threw herself at the man and grabbed his hand. “It’s just my first time. It won’t hurt anymore, I...I can bear it. Will you give me another chance?" 　　She was gripping his wrist tightly, and the man's body became apparently stiff. 　　Although she couldn't see the man's expression clearly, Maria clearly felt that the atmosphere was suddenly bitter, and there was a cool breeze on her back. 　　"Sorry." 　　Maria pursed her lips, immediately retracted her hand, and moved away from him. 　　The man was not even tender towards her. He was rude and simple. Except for his hands covering her waist and abdomen, he didn't touch any part of her body. 　　Obviously, he's wholesome. 　　The man picked up the suit casually, took out a check from his pocket, and handed it to her, "This is one million. After that, I'll give you another one million." 　　"Thank you." 　　The thin check in her hand was light as a feather but as heavy as lead that it suffocated her heart. 　　The hanging heart also let out a sigh of relief. 　　Her brother's medical expenses are considered to have been paid off. 　　"It's a deal. We both got what we need.", the man said without any emotion and didn't even appreciate her saying thanks. Walking towards the cloakroom, he didn't forget to say, "Let Uncle Ace send you back. Come back one month later on your ovulation period." 　　"Yeah.", she whispered her head slightly, turned and left. 　　Before coming, Maria had gone to the hospital for various checkups. Today is the last day of her ovulation and she's been staying there for a week. 　　After all, the pregnancy rate is at its highest during the ovulation period. 　　... 　　At the Central Hospital. 　　"You still have the face to come? Your brother is going to die. Won't you do anything to save him? If I hadn't picked you back in the ditch, you would have died twenty years ago." 　　When her adoptive mother Glenda saw Maria approaching, she stepped forward and slapped her on the cheek. 　　The slap was full of strength, and she could feel it on her cheek. 　　Snapped-- 　　A crisp sound echoed in the corridor. 　　Maria's face immediately swelled, and blood stains overflowed from the corners of her mouth. 　　After staggering two steps, she supported the wall and stood firm. 　　At her, a smile appeared at the corners of her lips, "Mom. This is the last time I will call you "Mom". I..." 　　"Who is your mother? I'm not your mother!", Glenda raised her hand and slapped her again. 　　Maria raised her hand to hold her wrist, and lowered her eyes, "Mom, you saved my life. I remember it in my heart. But for so many years, I don't owe your family anymore. I earned my tuition by myself. I even sold my blood for the tuition of your biological daughter." 　　Glenda with an undulating chest, shook her hand away and said angrily, "My daughter's tuition is paid by my son. Stop saying nonsense." 　　Maria seemed to be angry, but her tone was still very calm, "Do you really think I didn't know that you took the money my brother gave you to gamble?" 　　She took a deep breath and took out a check from her pocket, "It doesn't make any sense to say so much. This money is for my brother's treatment. You saved my life back then, and now, I'm paying you back. From now on, we owe nothing to each other." 　　Maria originally wanted to go into the ward to look at her brother but seeing Glenda's nasty face made her turned around and left. 　　After all, she won't have any contact with them anymore, so why bother to show them love. 　　One month later... 　　Before going to the employer's house, she found that her period was too late, so she bought a pregnancy test kit. Who would have thought that the result would show two lines? 　　"Am I pregnant? Why so soon?" 　　Maria was a little surprised and went to buy three pregnancy test kits and the results were all positive! 　　She's pregnant!
