I became paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident. During my treatment, my attending physician Michael Green pursued me, and I agreed to be with him. We've been together for two Christmases now.Just as I was considering whether to have a long-term relationship with him, I overheard his conversation with friends.
Michael said: "I know wealthy disabled women are the easiest to fool. Say a few sweet words and they'll believe anything. Once she helps me get my private hospital up and running, I'll break up with her. Who wants to be with a cripple? I've been disgusted by her for ages."
Looking back on these two Christmases of sweet moments, I have to admit his acting skills are pretty good.
My assistant Alice Baker asked if I wanted to cancel the wedding plans.
I touched my belly and said calmly: "No need."
*****
At the Mitchell mansion, I was watching a video Alice had just sent me.
In the video, Michael was at a bar hanging out with friends.
He never drank in front of me, but in the video he was ordering and opening bottles with practiced ease, clearly not his first time.
Michael threw his jacket onto the booth sofa, loosened his tie, and propped his feet up on the table in front of him.
His lazy, indulgent demeanor was completely different from the gentle, polite image he maintained in front of me.
Someone laughed and said: "Dr. Green, you finally agreed to come out and party. Are you really planning to take care of that cripple for the rest of your life?"
Michael raised his glass and took a sip: "For life? These two Christmases have already made me sick. If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't bother taking care of her. My private hospital opens in three days, and I'll consider that thirty million in startup funds compensation for my emotional distress."
Another friend filled his glass and joked: "What distress? Athena lets you live in a mansion, drive luxury cars, transfers money to you monthly, and even funded your hospital. All you have to do is check on her during her regular appointments." Athena Mitchell is my name.
Michael looked disgusted, as if remembering something particularly revolting: "Do you know that high-level paraplegic patients are prone to bedsores? When the nurses helped her turn over, she just lay there like a dead fish. When I kissed her, I had to pretend I didn't see the catheter bag. Even now, every time I kiss her, I can smell that urine odor."
His friend patted his shoulder and said, whether sincerely or not: "Dr. Green, you've really suffered through this. But Athena is still beautiful, and at 28 she's already an investment queen. Aren't you worried about losing her at all?"
Michael leaned back in his chair confidently: "Rich disabled women like her are the most desperate for love, and she's completely devoted to me. She even suggested having a baby together recently. Once the hospital opens, I'll break up with her. Whoever wants to take care of her can have her."
After the video finished, Alice asked respectfully: "Miss Mitchell, should we cancel the wedding plans?"
I played with my diamond ring and said calmly: "No need. Just find someone else. There are plenty of men in this world."
Alice immediately handed me a tablet filled with profiles of excellent unmarried men.
I scrolled through for a while, then pointed to one photo: "Let's go with him. I'll try him out for a few days first."
After all, I'm just paying for someone to keep me from being bored. If someone doesn't know their place, I'll simply replace them.
After receiving her assignment, Alice went to handle it immediately.
Alone in my room, I reflected on the video and conversation, thinking Michael wasn't professional enough in his work.
When he first pursued me, Michael had held my legs and said: "Let me be your legs forever, to carry you wherever you want to go."
When I was exhausted and sweating during rehabilitation training, he would quietly stay with me and encourage me, saying I could depend on him.
