Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Chapter 83



Chapter: 83
“It so happened that the elders were absent that day. If Marcus hadn't heard the
commotion and rushed to the scene, I fear I would have suffered severe harm,
perhaps even death. By the time Marcus arrived, my ribs had already borne the
brunt of his relentless kicks, leaving me writhing in agony on the floor. You can
hardly fathom the ferocity of their clash as they unleashed their pent-up fury upon
one another with reckless abandon. I lay there, a hapless spectator to the tragic
spectacle, witnessing the unyielding persistence of them locked in a relentless
struggle, unwilling to yield.”
Bruce paused before continuing, “On that fateful day, when the servant
discovered their altercation, they were locked in a desperate struggle, rolling
upon the floor, their eyes locked in a fierce, unrelenting stare, each tightly
clutching the other's throat, defying any attempts to separate them.”
Bruce sighed heavily, his voice tinged with resignation. Ultimately, the tumultuous
events culminated in a swift hospitalization for the three of them. From that
moment onward, he realized the indomitable strength and unwavering
dominance that defined both individuals, as neither would submit to the other's
authority.
A mountain could not house two ferocious tigers, just as the Thomas family could
never find solace in tranquility.
As Bruce revealed the past, Millie found herself increasingly absorbed,
captivated by the intensity of their harrowing experiences. It was a sobering
realization that these three young individuals had come perilously close to losing
their lives over a seemingly insignificant bowl.
“Later, by chance, I overheard a conversation between my grandmother and the
butler, which shed some light on his past. Following his disappearance, he was
taken in by a woman of questionable character, one who resorted to selling her
body and seeking solace in heavy drinking. Despite her flaws, she treated him
well, providing him with sustenance, clothing, and even sending him to school.”
When it came to addressing his adoptive mother, Bruce's voice dipped, possibly
burdened by the implications of her embarrassing profession.
“However, his focus at school revolved solely around engaging in fights on behalf
of others as a means to earn money. While the woman's care may have been
positive, his exposure to such an environment undoubtedly distorted his values.”
Bruce sighed then added, “Not long after his return, the woman fell ill and
entrusted someone to deliver a letter to him. Despite my grandmother's efforts to
hide it from him, he found it and read its contents. Upon discovering its contents,
he became consumed with a desperate frenzy to locate the woman but was
prohibited by my grandmother from leaving home. He resorted to half-month fast
in pursuit of his quest but to no avail. Eventually, an abrupt shift occurred within
him, and he devoted himself to rigorous academic pursuits. I must admit that he
possesses remarkable intelligence and talent. Overcoming countless obstacles,
he eventually gained admission to a renowned medical university. During his
internship, he eamed the admiration of the hospital director, becoming his
favorite student. However, even now, I struggle to comprehend his true
motivations. One year ago, he abruptly left the hospital and returned to our
family.”
Hearing this revelation, Millie was left dumbfounded. A year ago, Leon abruptly
relinquished his career as a doctor.
“Is his adoptive mother still alive?” she inquired.
Bruce shook his head solemnly, revealing, “She passed away long ago. Leon,
however, only discovered this truth a year ago, as my grandmother had kept it
hidden from him.”
Millie's spirit grew heavy with desolation. It became apparent that Leon's pursuit
of medicine held a significant connection to his adoptive mother. With her demise
coming to light, his world was shaken to its very core, causing his once
unshakable beliefs to crumble.
“I requested that you deliver the wine, yet you remain here, idle and
unproductive.
Your worthlessness astounds me. Hurry now, lest I beseech Mrs. Thomas to
chastise you,” admonished a suddenly present Rhea, crossing her arms before
her chest, exuding an aura of exasperation towards Millie. After all, she had
entrusted Millie with the task of fetching wine for Marcus, yet Millie seemed
content to engage in a lengthy conversation with Bruce instead. ©
Despite being married to Marcus, this woman seemed to harbor an apparent
disregard for him, trivializing their union.

then took the glass and walked towards the balcony.
As she approached the balcony, she overheard two voices talking in low tones.
