Chapter 2

I awoke gradually, regaining consciousness but still unable to control my body.

Confined to my bed, I learned everything from the family members who came to visit me.

It turned out I had been in a coma for a full three years.

Throughout those three years, Fintan had stood by me unwavering, his devotion unchanged.

Even my parents were so moved that at one point they considered encouraging Fintan to pursue new relationships.

"The doctors say Serenity may never wake up. We wouldn't blame you if you wanted to move on," they told him.

"We can take care of Serenity. You've already done more than enough."

But Fintan's love remained as deep as ever.

"No. Serenity is the only woman I'll ever love. I don't want anyone else."

Though conscious, I was unable to move, lying in bed day after day.

The torment was unbearable, driving me to the brink of despair, wishing for death.

Yet in reality, I couldn't even take my own life.

It was Fintan's love and our memories together that got me through those endless days and nights.

Until Seraphina appeared - the one responsible for putting me in this vegetative state.

I never imagined Seraphina would end up as Fintan's kept woman, used to satisfy his urges."Prison is too easy for you. I want you to pay the price for your actions."

Fintan repeatedly made passionate love to Seraphina in my hospital room.

Under the guise of punishment, they engaged in marital activities.

When they were fooling around in my room yet again, I had already become numb with hatred.

I didn't expect Fintan to become more and more outrageous each time.

He made Seraphina lie down next to me, making love to her while holding my hand.

Our fingers intertwined tightly, and in the throes of passion, he kept calling out my name.

"Serenity, my Serenity, I love you."

As if I were the one intimately connected with him.

But I could clearly hear another woman's breathing, and my stomach churned with nausea, my body instinctively wanting to vomit.

Anger welled up from every part of me, a tremendous rage surging through my body.

I almost immediately wanted to get up and slap them both, but in reality, I could only lie there motionless, at their mercy.

Afterward, Seraphina leaned against Fintan's body with satisfaction. They sat on the couch, their faces full of contentment.

Fintan was uncharacteristically tender, gently stroking Seraphina's back.

"What you said last time wasn't entirely without reason.Seraphina's eyes lit up as she eagerly assured him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gerald. I'm willing to help you and Sister Serenity have children together."

"I won't let the children know my identity. You and Sister Serenity will be their parents."

Fintan suddenly chuckled, lifting Seraphina's chin and speaking coldly.

"What are you thinking? The children will of course be mine and Serenity's offspring."

"You're nothing more than a tool for bearing children."

Seraphina's face turned pale, her eyes filled with resentment and pity.

"Then why not just have Sister Serenity give birth? Why do you have to humiliate me?"

"Childbirth is too dangerous. I can't bear to let Serenity suffer."

"But..."

"No buts. If it weren't for you, Serenity and I would have had several kids by now. You owe us this. You're responsible for my physical needs and my children."

I never imagined Fintan would want to use my eggs and his sperm to have Seraphina bear our child.

No!!!

My heart screamed in protest, but no one could hear my despair.At this moment, I suddenly wished Fintan would completely change his heart and stop doing such disgusting things in the name of loving me.

He held my hand gently, his gaze affectionate.

"Don't worry, Serenity. I'll stay by your side with our child, waiting for you to wake up."

Footsteps sounded as several strangers entered the hospital room.

The female nurse's voice rang out.

"Mr. Gerald, please step outside. We need to prepare Mrs. Gerald for the egg retrieval procedure."
