Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 1683: The Past He Never Knew

Serena Sterling glanced at the time, "I have a surgery later, so I won’t be joining for dinner."

"Mom, please stay for dinner, it won’t take too long," Morgan Ashworth urged.

Serena smiled, "Next time, there’s plenty of time in the future. I have a gift for little Joy in the car, Morgan, come with me to get it, will you?"

"Alright." Morgan agreed and followed her.

At this moment, Willow Crawford said, "Mom, I’ll come with you both."

Serena gave Willow a look, "Willow, you just had a hypnosis surgery, no need to come with us. You should rest here."

Hypnosis surgery?

Hearing these words, Morgan froze for a moment.

Willow obediently nodded, "Okay, hubby, I’ll wait here for you."

Serena led Morgan downstairs, and Morgan immediately asked, "Mom, what hypnosis surgery did Willow undergo?"

He wasn’t aware of this matter.

Serena paused, "Morgan, three years ago Willow lost her memory. Today, I helped her regain it with hypnosis surgery."

Memory loss?

Morgan stared blankly at Serena. In fact, he had sensed that his mother-in-law had intentionally sent Willow away, as if she had something to say to him.

Now he felt even more certain. It seemed he didn’t know about a lot of things.

"Morgan, didn’t you ever notice that Willow had lost her memory?"

Morgan nodded, "I never thought Willow would lose her memory."

"Then what do you think is the reason that Willow hasn’t appeared for these three years? Why do you think she was so heartless to abandon you and leave Joy behind?" Serena asked.

Morgan pressed his thin lips together, "Mom, the love Willow gave me always felt unreal. It made me insecure. I was constantly afraid she would suddenly leave me. For the past three years, I thought she didn’t show up because she didn’t love me and didn’t want Joy."

"Sometimes, I truly hated her. I couldn’t understand how heartless a woman would have to be to abandon her husband and child this way."

Serena looked at Morgan’s pained expression, knowing this man had been silently accepting all of it.

"Morgan, Willow didn’t abandon you and the child. Do you remember the poison you were struck with three years ago? Where do you think the antidote came from? It was Willow’s heart’s blood."

What?

Heart’s blood?

Morgan was thoroughly stunned, "What heart’s blood?"

"Morgan, in order to save you, Willow took three drops of her heart’s blood, but she was pregnant at the time. Only one could survive between her and the child. I asked Willow whether to save the mother or the child, and Willow said to save the child. She wanted to give birth to this son and hand him over to you."

"Joy was born healthy, but Willow was critically ill. I used acupuncture to seal her acupoints and took her to a secret medical room for various treatments. After about half a year of treatment, Willow narrowly escaped death and survived."

"However, when Willow woke up, she had lost her memories. It’s my fault. I didn’t take care of Willow, letting her run away from the medical room alone."

"Willow wandered outside for more than two years. We kept using various forces to look for her, but as if it was fate, no matter how far apart, a destined reunion would happen. You had met Willow ahead of us, and what happened afterward you already know."

Serena told Morgan everything that had happened.
