Chapter 3: Marriage
Getting married to Jared and becoming part of the Brooks family was her plan. She had faith that she could definitely complete the mission this time!
Jared’s eyes scanned Julia from head to toe. Her face was a mess! Her mascara and eye shadow were splattered all over, and her tattered wedding dress had some red stains, which looked like blood.
She looked like a jilted bride who got robbed or something.
“Who are you?”
Julia raised her chin. “I’m Julia Watson of the Watson family.”
Jared glanced at Shiloh. “Do you think I’ll believe you?” he coldly asked her. His eyebrows were furrowed.
“Whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t matter. You’ll run a background check on me anyway,” she calmly responded.
Jared’s cold eyes widened slightly, curious about what she had just said.
Come on. Time is ticking. Your supposed bride stood you up, and I just found out that my fiancé was in love with someone else during my wedding ceremony. We are both the biggest losers today, so why don‘ t we partner up and get married instead?” Julia casually said.
Jared nodded his head. Now, he understood why she looked like this. She came to him to get revenge against her fiancé, who betrayed her.
“The nerve of her to use me to satisfy her anger with her jerk boyfriend,‘ he thought.
“Go find someone else, Miss,” he replied and held Shiloh’s wheelchair, ready to leave.
“Wait!” Julia exclaimed and blocked their path. She glanced at Shiloh, who was silently sitting in the wheelchair.
“What if I can,” she trailed. “Cure his legs?”
‘What?‘ Jared and Shiloh inwardly thought. Their lips parted, stunned by Julia‘ s
words.
“Hey, stop staring at me.” Julia rolled her eyes. “Just give an answer. If I can cure his leg, will you agree to marry me?”
Jared fell silent for a while. His heavy gaze remained on Julia as he deliberated. “If you can really cure him, then I’ll
marry you,” he finally said.
Shiloh groaned. “What? Jared, are you nuts? We don‘ t even know this woman! She must have an ulterior motive. Don‘ t fall for her trap!”
Jared patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
“How will you be able to treat my brother?”
Julia stepped closer. “Let me take a look at the situation first.” She calmly held the blanket on Shiloh’s lap and was about to pick it up.
“Don’t touch me!” Shiloh protested and snatched the blanket from her hands.
Julia scowled at him. “Do you think I have a special vision? Like I can see your legs through the blanket?” she sarcastically uttered.
“Well, I don’t believe you can cure my legs!” Shiloh replied and glared at her. After all, why would he trust her?
Julia gritted her teeth, impatient. ‘If it weren’t for my desire to complete my mission, I wouldn’t even think of helping you!‘ she thought.
In her past life, hundreds of people would try all means to invite her to treat their illness at all costs!
To her surprise, Jared suddenly lifted Shiloh s blanket, showing his legs.
“Jared! She’s a scam. Why do you believe her?”
“Let her see, Shiloh,” Jared calmly said and stood close to him. If Julia dared to make any inappropriate move, he would let her know the end of harming his loved
ones!
Shiloh grumpily scoffed and turned his face away. He crossed his arms on his chest. His damaged legs had been in the wheelchair for years, which caused muscle atrophy and deformation. At least to him, his legs look horrible.
Julia softly pressed his legs with her fingers.
“It seemed like you have been in a wheelchair for six or seven years,” she said.
Both Jared and Shiloh looked at each other, mirroring the surprised expressions on their faces.
Indeed, it had been six or seven years since the car accident. They both couldn’t believe one look and touch, and Julia already found out.
Before they could utter a reply, Julia‘ s fingers formed a hook shape and pressed them down on Shiloh‘ s deformed leg.
All of a sudden, Shiloh let out a muffled groan in his mouth.
He reacted! Therefore, he felt a sensation in his legs.
Jared watched the scene in disbelief. Seeing how his brother reacted stirred up a turbulent wave in his heart.
