On the day I discovered my unexpected pregnancy, Gabriel Brown carefully held the blind Elsie Ross in his arms and threw my pregnancy test report right in my face. He said, “When I was in that car accident last Christmas, you didn’t hesitate to abandon me. If Elsie hadn’t given me her corneas, I probably would have died. Now you’ve gone to great lengths to get pregnant with my child just to use the baby to force me into marrying you. Let me tell you, you’d better give up that idea. Only Elsie deserves to be the mistress of Brown Group.” Tears streamed down my face. But Gabriel still gripped my throat tightly, threatening, “I’ll give you one chance. As long as you seduce my married brother Theodore Brown and force him to marry you, my father will definitely kick him out of Brown Group. That way, I’ll be the sole heir to Brown Group.” But later, when the truth was revealed, I became his brother’s wife as he wished, yet he kept begging for my forgiveness. I just smiled faintly and took back the corneas I had donated to him last Christmas. At this moment, Gabriel said disdainfully, “Caroline Morris, don’t you love me? Why won’t you do this small thing for me? You went to great lengths to get pregnant with my child just to force me to marry you, didn’t you? Two Christmases ago when I had that car accident, you abandoned me. After I woke up, you shamelessly came back claiming that the corneas Elsie donated to me were actually yours. Is there a single word of truth that comes out of your mouth?” Furious, Gabriel threw the pregnancy report in his hand at my face. I lost all strength and collapsed to the floor, passively enduring his inexplicable rage. Seeing this, Elsie gently nestled into his arms, coaxing him, but her eyes were full of smugness as she looked at me. “Gabriel, when you had that car accident last Christmas, Caroline must have had her reasons for leaving you.” Elsie pretended to be considerate, groping around to help me up from the floor, then deliberately put on a grateful smile. “Actually, I should thank Caroline. If Caroline hadn’t abandoned you, how could I have had the chance to come to your side?” I let out a cold laugh, looking at Elsie’s bright, clear eyes. “Last Christmas, were those corneas really donated by you to Gabriel?” Elsie panicked and hid in Gabriel’s arms, crying, “Gabriel, is Caroline still resenting me for being with you and stealing the love you gave her? But after going blind, you were the only person I could depend on. You’ve already been abandoned once. I don’t want to leave you and make you experience the pain of being abandoned by someone you love again.” Gabriel frantically comforted Elsie in his arms with gentle words. When he turned to look at me, he instantly put on that disgusted expression and shouted, “Caroline, stop it! Last Christmas, you were worried that I would interfere with your marriage to a rich man, so you left without any hesitation. I was lying in a pool of blood, constantly begging you, but you never looked back. If Elsie hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t even be able to stand in front of you now and see your aggressive behavior.” Nestled in Gabriel’s arms, Elsie laughed mockingly, “Gabriel, since Caroline is so certain, your corneas might really have been donated by her.” Gabriel sneered, “I didn’t see her true nature last Christmas, but I’m not stupid. If she really gave me her corneas, how did her eyes recover? How could she possibly be standing in front of me now accusing you?” My heart filled with bitterness, I clutched the ring in my hand and silently shed tears. All these years, no matter how I explained, Gabriel always believed Elsie. He mocked me and ignored me time and again, as if I were his enemy. Gabriel said coldly, “Caroline, I’m giving you a chance now. Didn’t you scheme to get pregnant with my child? I’m going to make good use of this. My father is dying, and Theodore, who’s been abroad all these years, is coming back soon. I want you to seduce him, be with him, and then use the child in your belly to force him to marry you.” I stared at Gabriel’s expectant expression and asked in disbelief, “Why? This is our child!” Gabriel said coldly, “Caroline, stop putting on this loving act. You’re disgusting. I told you, only Elsie deserves to carry my child. You don’t! My father hates cheating men more than anything in his life. Theodore is already married. As long as you seduce Theodore, pretend to be pregnant with his child, and make a big scene out of it, my father definitely won’t let him be the heir to Brown Group. Then all of the Brown family’s wealth will be mine. After that, I’ll let you give birth to this child and allow you to stay by my side to serve me. But you’d better give up your delusions. My wife will only be Elsie.” Looking at the loving scene between the two in front of me, I laughed coldly, “Fine, Gabriel. I’ll do as you wish.”
Watching Gabriel carefully lift Elsie and turn to leave, I could no longer hold back my tears. Gabriel and I first met in high school. Back then, he was the proud adopted son of the Brown family, while I was just an orphan. He chose me and pulled me out of the mud. Later, I became a scholarship student sponsored by the Brown family, gaining the opportunity to continue my education at a prestigious university without ever having to worry about money again. Gabriel and I got to know each other, fell in love, and everything went smoothly. Later, Gabriel introduced me to his family, and we moved from dating toward marriage. Just when I thought our happy, peaceful days would continue forever, an accident shattered my dreams. Gabriel and I were in a car crash during a trip to the countryside. In that critical moment, he shielded me with his body, but his eyes were severely injured and required corneal transplant surgery. However, he couldn’t find a compatible cornea in such a short time. So I secretly donated my cornea to him. After my corneal transplant surgery, I learned that my biological mother, Adeline Morris, had an accident. I rushed back to our old home in the countryside, missing the day Gabriel regained his sight, which allowed Elsie to claim credit for my cornea donation. Adeline didn’t want me to be plunged into darkness at such a young age, so before she died, she gave me her corneas. But when I regained my sight and stood before Gabriel again, I found that Elsie was already by his side. No matter how I tried to explain, Gabriel only believed Elsie’s words. He was convinced that I had abandoned him and thought I was returning now because I saw he hadn’t died and wanted to marry him to continue living as a wealthy woman. Actually, Elsie’s acting was terrible—she often forgot her supposed blindness. Over the years, she slipped up many times, but Gabriel always chose to ignore it, continuing to dote on her and fulfill her every wish. Just then, my phone lit up. It was a message from Gabriel: “Theodore’s flight lands tomorrow at 3 PM. Pick him up at the airport.” After reading it, I smiled bitterly. I couldn’t wait to see if Gabriel would regret today’s decision when he finally discovered the truth. Sharp pain shot through the corners of my eyes. I knew what this meant. When she died, Adeline was already old, and her eyes had developed many complications. So after receiving her corneal transplant, my eyes were left with complications that required monthly hospital visits for checkups and treatment. Today happened to be my scheduled hospital visit. The doctor said, “Miss Morris, we’ve found that your eyes are at risk of retinal detachment, so you need to undergo a new transplant surgery as soon as possible.” I shook my head gently. If a new pair of corneas were so easy to find, Gabriel wouldn’t have fallen for Elsie’s deception back then. Seeing my indifferent attitude, the doctor frowned and advised, “Miss Morris, you can’t take this surgery lightly. If you delay treatment, you risk going blind.” He sighed heavily and continued, “For now, I’ll start you on conservative treatment. Please go settle the payment.” One hundred thousand dollars was just the cost of a meal for Gabriel, but it became the final straw that broke me. After returning to the Brown estate, I opened the door to see Gabriel happily watching Elsie, who was sitting surrounded by luxury goods. I clenched my fists and walked toward him with my head down.
I said quietly, “Gabriel, the doctor said there’s a problem with my corneas. I need a hundred thousand dollars for treatment. Could you please help me?” “Enough!” Gabriel interrupted me impatiently. “Elsie is right. You’re just a greedy woman who’ll stop at nothing to get what you want. You stayed by my side just for my money, didn’t you?” I opened my mouth to defend myself but found I had nothing to say. Elsie snuggled in Gabriel’s arms coquettishly: “Gabriel, since Caroline wants it, just give her the hundred thousand dollars. A hundred thousand can’t even buy the cheapest bag I own. But Caroline, you can’t lie just to get money. I clearly saw you get into a stranger’s luxury car today. How could you have been going to the hospital?” As she spoke, Elsie pulled out a blurry photo. Gabriel roared, “Caroline, have you ever told me a single truth? You’re such a greedy, shameless woman! If you weren’t still somewhat useful to me, I’d be disgusted just looking at you.” Gabriel suddenly grabbed my throat, staring at my slightly swollen belly: “Is the child in your belly even mine?” I looked up in disbelief and asked coldly, “Gabriel, is that really what you think of me? That I’m such a lowly woman?” I remembered that night. Gabriel had burst into my room reeking of alcohol, holding my waist tightly and burying his head in the crook of my neck. His tears fell into my heart. He held me tightly in his arms, and we lost ourselves in each other’s tenderness. Only when the storm outside stopped did he finally let me go. I thought our relationship would improve after that night. I naively believed we could return to how things were before, still being the only one in each other’s world. But I never expected that what I thought was sweet intimacy was just his drunken indulgence to him. Even if it hadn’t been me, it would have been someone else. Gabriel said disdainfully, “Caroline, since you want this money so badly, then open your eyes wide and watch me make love to Elsie.” He tightened his hold on Elsie’s waist and kissed her passionately. His hands caressed Elsie’s body, quickly removing her clothes. I watched the two people entangled together not far away, numbly listening to their gasps and moans. Near dawn, Gabriel finally wiped his lips with satisfaction and threw a bank card in front of me, saying through gritted teeth, “Caroline, for money, you could actually watch me make love to another woman right in front of you. Since you’ve taken my money, you’d better serve me well. You must seduce Theodore, or don’t expect to stay by my side any longer.” I slowly picked up the bank card he had trampled underfoot, my heart breaking. A hundred thousand dollars was enough to settle all our debts. Gabriel’s financial support for me had been repaid with a pair of corneas. From now on, I owed him nothing. I opened my phone and scheduled an abortion for tomorrow. I gently caressed my slightly swollen belly. I had thought this child was the fruit of Gabriel’s and my love, but now I realized it wasn’t. I didn’t want my child to come into this world bearing stigma and humiliation. The housekeeper, Layla Ortiz, helped me up from the cold floor with sympathy and brought me a cup of honey lemon from the kitchen: “Ms. Morris, please have a sip.” I didn’t cry when Elsie framed me, nor when I endured Gabriel’s baseless accusations and humiliation. But now, receiving someone’s long-absent kindness, I felt the urge to cry. Layla sighed, “All these years, I’ve known about you and Mr. Brown. He’s just harsh with his words. Ms. Morris, he still has feelings for you deep down, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed you to stay by his side for so many years.” I smiled bitterly and shook my head: “No, he has no heart. No matter how much I burn myself, I can’t warm him up. I’ve decided to give up. I want to let him go, and let myself go too.”
