In my previous life, I refused to take the fake heiress's place in marrying the comatose heir to help him recover and bear his child. She then used despicable means to steal the 100 thousand I had raised for my adoptive mother's surgery. In the end, my adoptive mother died in despair in a hospital corridor. Not only did I lose the only person I cared about, but I was also burdened with massive debt. The fake heiress who married the comatose heir became a widow just one month later and inherited his fortune. Yet she still resented me. She left me disabled, and I met a miserable end in a rented room. When I opened my eyes again, I had traveled back to the day the Lane family found me. The fake heiress slid the engagement ring onto my finger, smiling as she congratulated me. "Although Alexander is nearly gone, you'll go from rags to riches after marrying him. You should thank me for giving you this opportunity," she said. This time, I didn't take off the ring. Instead, I smiled and replied, "Thank you, Madeline. I will cherish this chance to turn my life around."
