Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

It took Marina a long time to realize the truth.

She repeatedly peered at the certificate of the paternity test.

She couldn't help bursting into tears.

Tina lay on the bed, weeping continously, with her pillow completely wet.

At this moment, Marina didn't know whether to hope that the paternity test certificate in her hand was real or spurious.

She picked up the envelope again and suddenly another letter fell out of it.

It showed that the institution that issued the paternity test certificate was the one she had been to more than 20 years ago.

They attached a supplementary instruction to the letter, which indicated that the first results were wrong because of the staff's mistakes.

The second file was right, which proved that Tina was Jason's biological daughter.

The supplementary instruction was like a thunderbolt, which had completely astonished her.

Why did the institution keep lying to her and have her feel alarmed for almost all her life?

Marina really hated it.

It was obvious that the date of the latest paternity test record was in a recent time.

She had known that Jason had secretly taken a paternity test to confirm his kinship with Tina. However, before Jason could see the results of the test, Luk and she had provoked him so he retaliated against Tina at all hazards.

Tina looked at Marina and said hoarsely with difficulty, "It was Jessica who hid it."

Although Tina's voice was extremely muddy, Marina understood her words.

It was not Jason who hadn't read it, but Jane had intercepted it.

Therefore, Jason took revenge on Tina desperately.

Marina really regretted it and wanted to stand up immediately to question that organization.

She forgot that she was in a wheelchair. Just as she remembered, she fell to the ground.

She tried to stand up but failed. Both mother and daughter in the ward couldn't get up.

So Marina asked Luk to come in and help her up.

Luk entered the ward perturbedly and immediately lifted her up.

Then, he ran up to Tina and said, "Tina, I'm so sorry, leaving you to suffer all this."

Tina didn't even give him a look.

He had nothing to do with her, and she didn't want to look at him.

Apart from hatred, Tina only wanted him to die and never show up.

This man, who had nothing to do with her, made her suffer one of the capital punishments in the world.

Only his death could resolve her hatred.

Of course, Marina knew what Tina was thinking about so she didn't want Luk to bother her any more.

She said, "Luk, push me out first."

He felt that Tina had no reaction to him so he left sensibly.

As soon as she got outside, Marina began to cry.

Luk didn't know how to comfort her, agitated like an ant on a hot pan.

He knew that Tina had little time to live.

However, he did not know that her cry contained both the fear of all these years and the expectation for him.

It turned out that she had faith in the wrong person.

Why had not she found several more paternity testing agencies?

She found the institution which had lied to her for so many years.

But for Jane had found out the truth, she probably wouldn't have known for the rest of her life that she had been tricked.

Then, she was afraid that people knew her child's biological father was not her current husband. After all, it was a huge scandal back then. In addition, she had to rely on Jason, so she didn't dare to make any mistakes.

She thought the fewer people knew, the better it was. If she took the tests in a few more hospitals, chances were that Jason would knew the message so she would be thrown out of the house. Meanwhile, Luk smuggled himself to Holland, and then there was no news from him. How could she raise the child alone?

That's why she bribed the doctor in the paternity testing agency to issue a paternity test report she wanted.

It was this fake paternity test report that gave the agency an excuse to deny their responsibility. Anyway, the final report was a correct one.

Marina was compelled to suffer in silence.

It was God's will torturing me.

If she had known earlier, Tina would not have had to suffer all this.

Tina had requested her to let Jason come to meet her just now.

Looking at the hatred in her daughter's eyes, Marina knew that she wanted Jason to regret for the rest of his life.

She wanted to see Jason at her last time.

Marina felt she must fulfill her daughter's expectation.

Ever since Jason left the hospital last time, she had no idea where he had gone.

She called him, but no one answered.

Now Marina couldn't get up to find Jason out, so she could only let Luk do this.

When he heard that Marina asked him to look for Jason, he was unhappy and darked his face. Anyway, Jason was the one who wanted to kill Tina. He wouldn't like to let the murderer see his daughter.

Luk said nothing, which meant he wouldn't do this.

Marina said, "Because there was something that had not been dealt with before, we had to let Jason come over and ask him."

"What is it?" Luk asked.

"The cemetery,” she said.

Tina was going to Heaven soon. It was really a problem where to bury her.

Land in Birmingham was very expensive. Luk had neither money nor land. So he couldn't even pay for a tombstone for his daughter.

While Jason had at least ancestral graves in Birmingham, which could give Tina a place to settle down after her death

Luk had no choice but to follow Marina's instructions.

He knew that Marina and Jason had resolved their previous enmity. Now she could talk to him calmly only because he was Tina's father.

Perhaps Jason had promised Marina something. Since Jason had taken care of Marina and Tina for several decades, it was reasonable for him to take care of them once more.

He left the hospital and went outside to find Jason.

Looking at him, Marina hoped that she could kill him. It was all this man's arrival that made her family completely destroyed.

But now, she couldn't say anything to him.
