I Married the Billionaire’s Sick Son When I found out the billionaire’s son was sickly, I quickly agreed to marry him. I’m not a gold digger, I just want to know when I’ll inherit the billions. Whoa, on our wedding night, the “sickly” husband revealed his true colors. “Do you prefer a boy or a girl?” he asked. “…” I panicked. I got married. To the billionaire’s only son, no less. Filthy rich. The kind of rich where they could install an elevator on Mount Everest if they wanted to. Most importantly, He was supposedly sickly. The type who had signed stacks of dangerous diagnosis papers. Always pulled back from the brink of death with money. When I found out I was marrying him, I was so excited I rolled around on my bed. Just thinking about my future life as a wealthy and beautiful widow made me grin from ear to ear. On the wedding day, the billionaire’s assistant looked at me apologetically. “I’m so sorry, Miss Reed. The young master is in poor health, so you’ll have to complete the wedding ceremony alone.” As he spoke, a million dollars was deposited into my bank account. I nodded vigorously. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll take good care of the young master in the future!” After all, it’s usually the bride who steals the show at weddings anyway. The groom? Take him or leave him. Only my silly sister Tina had the nerve to flit around in front of me. “How pitiful, marrying a sickly man.” “How dare you talk about my husband like that! I won’t allow it!” Is he really my husband? He’s my future sugar daddy! Come to think of it, Tina was originally supposed to be the one getting married. Because I already had a boyfriend. But after Tina threw a huge tantrum and my stepmother whispered in my father’s ear, My dad immediately made me break up and get married instead. And Tina ended up with my ex-boyfriend. Damn, how did all these good things happen at once? I was just thinking about how to break up when someone came along to solve the problem for me. Jack was also at the wedding, his face pale as he looked at my wedding dress. “Don’t worry, this is haute couture. It won’t clash with that family heirloom wedding dress of yours.” I glanced at Jack and walked away. I completed the wedding ceremony alone. Wearing the latest wedding gown, I looked like a princess. When the officiant asked about my feelings for the groom, I immediately launched into an 800-word essay. This heartfelt declaration moved the billionaire to tears, and he immediately transferred five million dollars to me. I received the transfer notification on my way to the mansion. The car stopped in front of an estate. The swimming pool in front and the golf course in back left me speechless. “Young madam, the mountain behind also belongs to us. There’s even a hot spring up there.” I held back tears, thinking about how all this would be mine in the future. How exciting! The servant led me to a room on the second floor. “The entire second floor is for you and the young master. The third floor rooms are vacant. There are call buttons everywhere if you need anything.” I nodded and opened the door. A man was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows. He was leaning back on the large sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his long, slender white hand. Red wine?! Can he even drink? “You’re Fiona Reed? Come here.” As I walked over, I realized the man before me was breathtakingly handsome. With exquisite features, he looked like a masterpiece sculpted by God. I blurted out, “Hi, husband.” The man was so startled by my words that he choked. He dropped the wine glass and started coughing violently. I rushed over to pat his back, terrified. He can’t die tonight! If he dies on our wedding night, what if his dad thinks I’m bad luck? What if he doesn’t give me any money?
The moment I put my hand on his back, I froze. Are these thick back muscles really what a sickly person should have? “Had enough?” His voice sounded a bit displeased, scaring me into quickly withdrawing my hand. “Want me to take off my shirt so you can feel more?” I was about to shake my head in refusal when I suddenly noticed his ears had turned bright red. I just touched him once, that’s all. Isn’t this the typical reaction of an innocent man? So, as if possessed, I nodded. “Okay, then take it off and let me feel your abs.” On our wedding night, I met my “sickly” husband for the first time. He took off his shirt and leaned back on the sofa, letting me touch his abs. “How do they feel?” I nodded. First-class! “My name is Henry Shaw.” I’m not sure why he suddenly introduced himself, but I nodded anyway. My hands didn’t stop moving. “Is nodding all you can do?” Henry chuckled lightly, looking quite pleased. I suddenly thought of my cat, who also looks satisfied after being petted. “I’m going to take a shower. We can continue when I get back.” Before I could react, he had already stood up and walked towards the bathroom. I also grabbed my clothes and went to another bathroom. By the time I finished washing up, Henry was already lying in bed, patting the space next to him. As soon as I lay down, he turned off the lights. Before I could see clearly, a hot body pressed against me. “Fiona,” he breathed into my ear. “Do you prefer a boy or a girl?” I was so startled I jolted, but as I tried to escape, he grabbed my wrist tightly, preventing me from moving. “Aren’t you supposed to be sickly?” Henry’s face was pressed against mine as he whispered, “Why don’t you find out for yourself?” … That night, I felt like a fish being flipped over and over on a grill. Hearing my description, Henry’s hand resting on my waist gave it a gentle pat. “Then you must be an adorable tilapia.” Liar! What sickly person?! It was all a lie! Compared to him, I’m the sickly one! Henry got up and dressed, while I still lay in bed, struggling to move my waist. “If you can’t get up, just stay in bed. No one will say anything.” He adjusted his tie while looking at me through the mirror. “Rest well. We’ll continue tonight!” Beast! At this rate, even if I drank ten cans of Red Bull, I wouldn’t be able to keep up! Just as I was thinking this, my phone suddenly rang. I struggled to reach for it. Seeing how difficult it was for me, Henry answered the call and held the phone to my ear. My father’s voice came through the speaker. “Fiona, quickly transfer five million dollars over. Your sister wants to buy a house.” “Why should I care?!” I cursed angrily. I don’t know what was said on the other end, but my stepmother’s voice came on next. “Fiona, now that you’ve married the Shaw family’s young master, you don’t need to worry about money. Hurry up and transfer five million over for us to use.” “Did someone crack open your skull? Who do you think you’re talking to?” There was silence on the other end, then my father’s voice came back. “Fiona, how can you talk to your stepmother like that? Your sister is getting married and doesn’t have money. As her older sister, shouldn’t you help out?” “If they don’t have money, why don’t they just not get married? If she had no money, why didn’t she marry rich in the first place?!” As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized what I’d said and looked at Henry. Henry put on a hurt expression. “Well, I didn’t like your sister anyway.” Now everyone fell silent. After a while, my father finally spoke. “Your sister has it tough. Anyway, transfer the five million quickly, or I won’t give you your mother’s things.”
She has it tough? Am I living an easy life? A bunch of heirlooms my mom left behind. He’s hoarding them and threatening me every day! I gritted my teeth in anger. Henry took my phone and answered. “Hello, is this my father-in-law? This is Henry Shaw.” “You need money? Sure, we can discuss it after we visit you.” He dealt with my father in a few sentences, then turned to me with a smug look. “How’s that? Don’t you still need your husband to solve problems for you?” “What are you so smug about! We’ll still get nagged when we visit!” I snorted and lay back down on the bed. Henry sat down beside me, stroking my hair gently. “That’s right, but since I’m in poor health, I probably won’t be able to accompany my wife on the visit. You’ll have to face them alone then.” Poor health? He could go all night! I turned over angrily. “What part of you is in poor health? You seem perfectly fine to me!” “Well, it seems Fiona is quite satisfied with me.” Henry patted my head, the smile suddenly disappearing from his face. “Since we’re married, I won’t hide it from you. My family currently has some enemies, so I have to conceal my true physical condition. Once we leave this bedroom, I’m a sickly person, understand?” I nodded, somewhat confused, feeling like I’d boarded a pirate ship. “Good girl. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.” Sure enough, as soon as we left the room, Henry seemed to lose all his strength, leaning his body against mine. To think I had to drag a 6’2″ man around! The servants all gathered around concernedly, several of them helping Henry into the dining room. I finally understood what it meant to be treated like royalty. The dining table was practically set with an imperial feast. Who eats abalone for breakfast?! Henry put some abalone in my bowl. “You’ve worked hard. Eat something good to replenish your energy.” I lowered my head and focused on shoveling food into my mouth. Henry suddenly leaned close. “See that person wiping the handrail by the stairs? That’s someone our enemies sent. Find a way to fire her!” I stared at him with wide eyes. “Why don’t you do it yourself?” “It would be too obvious if I did it. They’d just send someone new. You’ve just arrived, so it’s the perfect opportunity to show your authority as the lady of the house.” Is this still the law-abiding society I know? How can there be a spy in the house?! “I don’t want to do it.” “One million dollars!” “Deal!” I excitedly stood up immediately! Instantly, everyone’s attention was drawn to me. Henry’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at me. After sending Henry back to the room, I pretended to go downstairs for water, then “accidentally” fell at the stairs. Several people rushed over to help me up. I clutched my bottom and shouted, “Who cleaned these stairs? Are you trying to kill me?!” Sure enough, that girl stepped forward. She looked to be only in her early twenties. Is she really a spy? Never mind, for a million dollars, I’m sorry! I gritted my teeth and yelled, “There’s still water on the steps. Are you trying to kill me and the young master?” The girl’s eyes filled with tears as she shook her head repeatedly. “You’re fired. Don’t come back anymore!” The girl wanted to say something, but the butler immediately led her away. As they left, I caught sight of the butler’s discreet thumbs-up. What’s going on? I completed my task and returned to the room, feeling satisfied. My phone immediately pinged with a money transfer notification. “The butler has known me since I was little. You can trust him, but don’t believe anything anyone else says.” I stared curiously at Henry, who was reading a book. “Who exactly are these enemies you mentioned? Why do they want to harm you?”
Henry glanced at me and said softly, “I’ll tell you when the time is right. I’m putting on this act to lower our opponents’ guard.” It seems being a billionaire’s son isn’t easy these days. “What about you? Your father doesn’t seem to like you very much.” I shrugged indifferently. “He married my mom for financial reasons. Later he found a mistress, which angered my mom to death. The mistress became my stepmother and brought along a sister two years younger than me.” I’ve known since I was little that my dad didn’t like me. No matter how well-behaved I was, he never spared me a glance. It wasn’t until Tina came along that I understood. When the person is wrong, everything they do is wrong. When Tina pushed me into the water, he praised her for being strong. When Tina stole my clothes and snacks, he praised her for having personality and knowing how to compete. After all these years, I’ve gotten used to it. “Do you want to get back at them?” Henry suddenly put down his book and pulled me onto his lap. “How?” “Simple. Take me to meet your family tomorrow. Bringing home a rich, handsome husband is worth showing off, isn’t it?” I nodded thoughtfully. “If the husband might die early and leave all his inheritance to me, that would be even more worth showing off.” Henry rolled his eyes. “We’ll see how you perform tonight.” The next day, Henry got up early and carefully chose his outfit in front of the mirror. I was still lying in bed, recovering my energy. In comparison, I felt like I was the one who was about to die. “You should start working out,” he said flatly, taking a box from the closet and handing it to me. “Here, choose one yourself.” When I opened the box, I was nearly blinded. Diamond necklaces as big as pigeon eggs. Emerald green, sapphire blue. I was dazzled. Finally dressed and adorned, I looked at the jewelry on my body, estimating I’d gained about four pounds. “Stop looking. It’s time to go.” I quickly maintained my role as the virtuous wife, supporting Henry as we went downstairs. A car was already waiting at the gate. The string of 8’s on the license plate once again refreshed my worldview. “Now I know why you have enemies.” With so much money, who wouldn’t be jealous! “Don’t worry, it’s our marital property. Half of it is yours.” I immediately felt better. For once, I was welcomed home with fanfare. No need to guess, it was definitely for the five million dollars. Tina looked at me with a smug smile on her face. Until Henry got out of the car, her smile froze. “Where’s your husband? You didn’t bring him for the family visit?” I immediately snuggled into Henry’s arms. “My big husband is standing right here. Can’t you see him?” Tina and my stepmother’s faces instantly twisted. As we entered the house, an array of gifts was displayed on the table, making my father’s eyes light up. “Fiona, Henry, come have some tea.” Henry glanced at the tea on the table and sighed, holding my hand. “Darling, you’ve suffered so much.” I looked at him in confusion. “I can’t believe you’ve been drinking this kind of tea. From now on, I’ll let you drink the good stuff.”
This was my father’s prized Darjeeling tea. He rarely brings it out. I struggled to hold back my laughter and nodded. “Seeing you happy makes me content,” my stepmother quickly regained her smile, excitedly rubbing her hands. “Fiona, about what I mentioned earlier, have you thought about it? Your sister still needs to buy a house.” Henry squeezed my hand. “I heard that Fiona’s mother left some belongings here. Let’s take those first, then we can talk.” “No way.” My father immediately refused. “Since father-in-law said no, let’s leave then.” As Henry was about to lead me out, Tina quickly blocked the door. “You’re not short on money. What’s wrong with giving me a little?!” I clenched my fists and sneered. “I’d rather throw my money in the ocean than give it to you!” “Alright, no need to waste words. Bring out everything. Name your price, and don’t bother us in the future!” My stepmother and Tina’s eyes immediately lit up. “But think carefully. If I don’t accept this price, you won’t have another chance. Fiona won’t give you money anymore, and if I find out about any transfers, they’ll be taken back immediately. After all, it’s our marital property.” Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent. I watched as the three of them huddled together, whispering and calculating how much money to ask for, feeling irritated. Henry patted my hand, a calm smile on his face. “We’ve decided,” my father said. “Don’t rush. Bring out the items first so I can take a look.” My father immediately went upstairs and brought down a box. All that remained of my mother’s belongings were stuffed inside. As I reached out to take it, he quickly pulled it back. Seeing this action, a chill ran through my heart. “Give your sister the money first, then I’ll give you the things.” I remained silent, sitting back on the sofa. Henry put his arm around my waist and glanced at the contents of the box. “How can I be sure these all belonged to my mother-in-law? What if I give you the money and you claim these things are yours?” “We’re not that kind of people!” Tina anxiously replied. Obviously, she was already impatient to get her hands on the money. “What kind of people you are is none of my business. I don’t trust you!” My stepmother and father exchanged glances, and my father spoke up. “Your mother left a will back then. I’ll bring it to you!” You had a will all these years and you still hoarded everything! I wanted to argue with them angrily, but Henry grabbed my hand and shook his head at me. My father brought out the will and placed it in front of me. Henry took it and carefully examined it. “So these are your family members, huh? They had a will but still tried to keep your belongings and ask for money. Isn’t this fraud?” My father’s face turned pale. If it weren’t for my mom giving him money to invest back then, he wouldn’t have his current status. “You’ve seen the things, now hurry up and transfer the money. To my previous account!” Tina raised her chin, looking at me smugly. “What’s the rush! We can transfer the money, but first, let’s call the police.” As he spoke, Henry took out his phone and dialed. “What are you doing?! This is a family matter.” “Well, unfortunately, Fiona is my wife now.” The police arrived quickly. My father began to deny any extortion attempts. Unexpectedly, Henry pulled out a voice recorder, and my father’s voice played: “You give the money to your sister first, then dad will give you the things.” Now my father couldn’t smile anymore. The police separated us to take statements. Tina took advantage of the moment to pull me aside. “What do you mean by this? That’s dad, how could you do this to him?” I looked at her and sneered. “Didn’t you say he was your dad and had nothing to do with me?” Tina was suddenly at a loss for words.
