Gabriella's POV

Son? Gold digger? Those two words rang loudly in my ears. I took a few steps backward, staggered by the shock. I tried to put two and two together, but everything still felt confusing. I mean, of course, she was definitely Lucian's mother, just judging by her appearance, they looked so much alike. What I really wondered was what she was doing here and why she had tagged me as a gold digger.

I managed to step fully into the living room, clutching my bag tight, my eyes never left Lucian's mother for once.

Keisha can be quite rude but I can assure you she’ll be disciplined,”My mouth flew open in shock. Did the manager not hear all the explanations I just gave?“You must absolutely discipline her but before then, she must apologize to me and my son,” the woman scoffed, folding her arms.I couldn’t believe what was happening.

Maybe it is the effect of just waking up from a coma because did I just hear this man ask me to be his contract wife?“The board wants a responsible young man to take over as CEO of the hospital; someone without a baby mama or scandals. I want to focus on being part of the finances of this hospital,”I blinked, still trying to process this information. Waking up from a coma and getting married isn’t something I envisioned, but I really felt indebted to this man.“It’s just going to be for three years.
