Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Their only and sole child was gone, and Cheryl couldnt bring herself to cheer up.

Unless.

The child could come back to life.

Aurora, dont say anymore, Cheryl looked at Aurora Scouts, Youre not me, you cant empathize with me.

Aurora sighed, not knowing what to say.

She knew how hard it was for Cheryl to have this child.

Being over 40, without a child, hope was gone.

Aurora turned to look at Ettin Tuchman, Ettin, youre the pillar of this family, try to persuade Cheryl.

Persuade?

Ettin forced a bitter smile on his face.

He himself couldnt get over it, how could he comfort Cheryl?

At this moment, Cheryl burst out, Its all your mothers fault! If it wasnt for her, our baby wouldnt have had an accident!

The doctor had repeatedly warned them, but still couldnt keep Mrs. Tuchman in check.

It was all her fault!

Ettin painfully grabbed his hair.

He blamed his mother too,

But considering his mothers initial intention was to care for the child, he felt conflicted.

After all, she didnt want to see the child hurt either.

All of this was because of love.

Cheryl, calm down, Aurora was helpless at this time since it was indeed the elderly womans fault, but the doctor had warned her before the surgery, Blaming now wont solve anything.

Aurora, do you know? Miss Thompson asked several times, but she still denied it! She even wanted to sign a waiver, this is a murder! A murder!

Cheryl clung to Ettin!s collar, Give me back my child!

Ettin kept quiet, allowing Cheryl to beat and scold him.

When Cheryl got tired from hitting and crying, she sat on the floor.

Aurora helped her up and sat her down on the sofa, Cheryl, you and Ettin have to continue living your lives Continue? Cheryl sneered, How can we go on?

Their child was everything to them.

Now that the child was gone, hope was gone, and their emotional pillar was gone; what was the point of going on?bender

At this moment.

Mrs. Tuchman packed her things and walked out of the room.

Her eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Ettin and Cheryl, Ettin, Cheryl, Im sorry! Im going back to my hometown, and I wont bother you again

She regretted it deeply.

But now, regret was pointless.

Mrs. Tuchman came to live with them when Cheryl was pregnant, and stayed until their child was nine years old.

Leaving suddenly now, her feelings were very complicated.

Thinking back on all the moments with their child in this home, Mrs. Tuchman couldnt help but cry even more.

How wonderful it would have been if she had not given the child that bowl of porridge.

Mrs. Tuchman choked back her sobs and turned to leave.

She knew that if she didnt leave, her sons family would fall apart.

Mrs. Tuchman had always been domineering in her youth; conflicts were inevitable when she moved to the city and lived with her daughter-in-law. But Cheryl was a magnanimous person who tolerated many things, considering the elder as family.

Another reason was that the old woman truly loved the child.

But she never imagined that one day, the mother-in-laws love would kill the child.

If she had known, she would never have agreed to live with the mother-in-law in the first place.

At this thought, Cheryls rage boiled over, and she picked up a throw pillow from the sofa, hurling it at Mrs. Tuchman, You should have left long ago!

Mrs. Tuchmans footsteps paused as she turned back to bow to Cheryl, Im sorry!

At this moment.

Apart from apologizing, she had nothing else to say.

Can you bring back my son with your apology? Cheryl screamed hysterically, All I want is my son!

Seeing his wife and mother-in-law at odds like this, Ettin felt immense pain and helplessness.

He could neither join his wife in blaming his mother nor defend her.

He was well aware that his mother loved the child more than anyone else. If he blamed her like Cheryl, his mother would be truly left with nowhere to go. Mrs. Tuchman didnt say anything more, just picked up her luggage and left.

Truth be told, she had sold their old home about ten years ago.

Ettin was her only child.

Now, she had nowhere to go.

Though she no longer owned a house in her hometown, Mrs. Tuchman still purchased a train ticket back.

Before boarding, she looked back at the city where she had lived for nine years.

This city was great in every way.

Its just that she would never come back again.

Meanwhile.

Aurora continued to comfort Cheryl.

Seeing the unattended kitchen and the moldy food on the table, with no signs of takeout orders in the dining room, Aurora stood up and went to the kitchen to cook..
