MY STEPBROTHER'S REPLACEMENT

Chapter #1

Seen in the hospital hallway there was a husband and wife who were standing in front of the surgery door.

"What if something happens to Julia?" said the middle-aged woman who was in the arms of the husband.

"Relax Dorothy she will be fine" the husband replied, rubbing his wife's back to give her peace.

"Why was the doctor so long inside?" they had been waiting for more than two hours but not a single person had come out from inside.

"Patience, maybe soon," said Marco.

"What about the wedding?" dorothy asked her husband.

Their daughter should now be feeling happiness, because tomorrow she will get married. But, he even experienced something tragic like this and fortunately they have not told the situation of Julia to the future husband and also his future father-in-law.

"We wait for Julia's condition, then we will think about the next step" Marco said calmly.

Marco deeply regrets this incident happened to his daughter, although Julia is not his biological child but she comes from a woman who is loved by Marco so obviously Marco will also love and love Julia.

Two hours later a doctor came out of the operating room followed by two assistant doctors and one nurse, the two men stood behind the senior doctor and a nurse left them.

Dorothy and Marco who saw it stood up and approached the doctor.

"What about our daughter's condition?" ask Marco who remains calm.

"Before we apologize, because we could not save the fetus in your daughter's womb, and also we had to remove her uterus, she said, because the patient had a hard enough impact on his stomach and also maybe before the patient often consumed cigarettes and alcoholic beverages so that the uterus was damaged and could not have children anymore," the doctor was clearly sorry.

It makes Dorothy limp, and fortunately there is a husband who holds his wife's body.

"And for now your daughter is in a coma, we can't predict when she'll wake up from her coma, and she's past her critical period" the doctor said.

"When can we meet him?" ask Marco.

"After the patient is transferred to the hospital room," replied the doctor.

"Give the best room for my daughter" said Marco, because he did not want his favorite daughter to get an ordinary room.

"Okay sir" replied the doctor.

"And one more thing, please keep my daughter's condition a secret from anyone and let no one know" Marco said with a stern and menacing look.

"Okay sir, we will keep this a secret" the doctor said obediently.

Marco fortunately did not put his son in a hospital owned by his future father-in-law.

Thirty minutes later, Julia was transferred to her hospital room.

Dorothy looked very sad, she could not see the situation of her beloved daughter like this.

"What about the wedding? We have to tell Henry about Julia's condition, and postpone the marriage until Julia wakes up" Dorothy told her husband.

"No, we're going to do the wedding anyway" Marco said.

"Are you crazy? My daughter is like this how can she get married" Dorothy was angry with her husband.

She could not understand her husband's thoughts.

"Didn't I still have another daughter?" marco said and it made Dorothy look up at her husband.

Dorothy knew her husband had another child from a previous marriage and Dorothy didn't like it.

"I'm not gonna let you bring that girl here, you know that Julia loves Henry so much? What if Julia finds out? I don't agree" Dorothy refused.

"You can't argue with me Dorothy, the marriage has to go on, Rietta just replaces Julia until Julia wakes up, after which we'll take care of the rest" Marco said.

"But you're going to hurt the feelings of our daughter Marco" Dorothy said.

"Julia doesn't need to know about this Dorothy, after all Henry must love our children so much proof they both have children" Marco said.

Yes, Marco was very sure if his daughter was pregnant with Henry's child, although in the end the child could not survive because of the carelessness of his own daughter.

"But I still don't agree that Henry married that child" Dorothy said.

Dorothy hated the child of her husband's first wife, even though they were divorced but because of the woman that Dorothy could not marry Marco and instead ended up marrying another man until she had Julia. But Dorothy is grateful that her marriage did not last long and was able to marry Marco secretly from Marco's first wife when Julia was just one year old.

While Marco he did not love his biological son at all, he was born because of a mistake made by Marco. However, all members of Marco's family blamed the woman for riding in Marco's basket to get wealth and luxury life from Marco.

"You're calm, it's only temporary until Julia realizes, you know that I love Julia more than anything?" marco assured his wife.

Dorothy nodded her head, of course she knew how unfortunately Marco was to Julia even though Julia was not Marco's biological child and the entire Marco family also loved Julia.

Even Marco hid the real identity of Julia who is only Marco's stepson from the public, everyone only knows if Julia is the biological child and Marco's only son with Dorothy, no one knows if Marco has ever been married before let alone had children.

Henrietta's whereabouts with her mother are completely hidden from everyone.

"But I wouldn't stay silent if the girl's son dared to hurt my son, let alone intend to take Henry from Julia," Dorothy said.

"Hmm, I'll watch him so he doesn't do anything" Marco said.

Dorothy was forced to agree with her husband's words, believing Henry would not be so easy to turn away from her daughter because she loved Julia so much.

"And don't tell anyone that Julia has lost her child, and if Walter's family asks, let me take care of her" Marco said, referring to Dorothy.

"I'll call Rietta first" Marco pulled out his phone and started calling his biological daughter.

Marco has not contacted his daughter for a long time and now he is calling her because he needs her, it is not difficult to get his daughter's phone number even though he often changes numbers to avoid Marco.
