Mira looked up at Vireo with tears in her eyes. "Real-really?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if we don't have children. As long as we love each other, we can just adopt a child," Vireo said gently.
At that moment, Vireo suddenly experienced the mystery that was fate and the cycle of life. Vireo was adopted by the Payne family, and he may also need to adopt a child. At that moment when he had decided that was going to adopt a child, Vireo had already thought it through that he certainly would treat this adopted child as his own. No matter if the adopted child was going to be a boy or a girl, he would only give his all to this child and not ask anything in return. He would do his best to give this child the best environment, let the child have the best future, and let the child have the freedom to showcase his or her talent after the child grew up. Vireo absolutely would not be as selfish as his adoptive parents. He absolutely would not.
Vireo was a man who was able to live on with hope as long as there was a ray of light. He was an open-minded and optimistic person by nature. Adopting a child in the future was the greatest hope for Vireo to live on.
On his wedding night, Vireo did not blame his wife for
lying to him. He did not even hold her responsible for lying to him about her physical changes in the past year. Those were all small matters. He did not mind and he also did not care about it. He only knew that the person who had pulled him out of the hot water like the Payne family back then was his wife, Mira. If Mira had not pulled him out, he may have already become a murderer. Therefore, nothing mattered.
What mattered the most was to have him and his wife be of one mind, adopt a child in the future, and live their lives happily as a family of three.
After the wedding night, everything went on by the book. After the wedding, Vireo's life was still working, practicing medicine, and performing operations.
When he returned home, he did not change how he doted and tolerated Mira just because he had lied to him. When Vireo was at home, he still washed Mira's feet and cooked for her every day like usual. When Mira was angry, he was always the one who tolerated her the most.
In that period, the Payne family would also come to the provincial capital from their hometown, the county, from time to time. They would always come a few times a year and it would be the same as usual every time where they only leave after they have had their fill of exploiting the wealth of others. It was just that they had only been exploiting the wealth of the Turner family in the past when they had come to the provincial capital.
However, after working at the provincial capital for three years, Vireo had already completely become a high-income earner at that moment. He was a doctor a t a private hospital and the charges for every single operation that he had performed were hefty. Not only did that make Vireo have the ability to supply for the Payne family's exploitations, but that also let his status in the provincial capital rise day by day.
In the fourth year after he had come to the provincial capital, the 30-year-old Vireo had already become the best surgeon in the provincial capital. The 30-year-old man had good looks, status, and also capital. However, even so, Vireo still was not respected and liked by his father-in-law. His father-in-law, Phil, had been suppressing Mireo at every turn. Later on, Vireo gradually discovered that his father-in-law actually did not wish for Vireo to thrive in his career and rise through the ranks so quickly. His father-in-law simply hoped that Vireo was a useless person. It would be enough as long as Vireo was able to stay by his daughter's side for life.
If it was four years ago, Vireo may not have had the ability to fight back against his father-in-law. However, after Vireo had been to the provincial capital for four years, his father-in-law was already gradually unable to control Vireo. Therefore, on one hand, his father-in-law had been feeling disgusted by Vireo for being a man from a lowly background who would bring the Payne family to raid their wealth from time to time. On the other hand, Phil was very afraid of Vireo's capabilities. Vireo was in his early thirties and had a flourishing career. He was also a good surgeon. Would such a man stay by his daughter's side for life? If Vireo were to kick his daughter away, what should she do? Phil, who was deeply worried, often exhausted all ways to suppress Vireo.
