Part 3The Comatose Billionaire My Sister Rejected

When I left the house, my sister was still crying.

My parents comforted her, saying, "Just let Chloe go. Ethan is basically on his deathbed anyway. Once she has a baby with a vegetable, let's see what kind of decent man would ever marry her in the future."

They had no idea that the "dying" Ethan Sterling would wake up in two months.

But I didn't feel any sense of triumph.

I only had one thought.

If Ethan was destined to fall in love with my sister...

Then I had to get pregnant with his child before that happened.

Eleanor arranged for my room to be right across from Ethan's.

After unpacking, I walked into his room.

The man on the bed had his eyes closed. He had a high, sharp nose bridge, and even after being in a coma for two months, he was still as breathtakingly handsome as a movie star.

His eyelashes were exceptionally long and thick.

I couldn't help but reach out, wanting to see if they were real.

Before my fingertips could touch him, the door suddenly swung open.

Eleanor stood at the door. She froze when she saw what I was doing.

"What are you doing?"

I awkwardly pulled my hand back and apologized.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what my future baby's father looked like."

Eleanor's expression softened slightly, and she sighed.

"Ethan needs quiet. Try not to disturb him unless necessary."

I nodded, but just as I turned to leave, I noticed a strange odor.

Eleanor also wrinkled her nose and turned to call the nurse.

"I'll do it," I offered.

She looked at me in surprise.

But I was already fetching hot water and a towel. I was used to this.

Since Grammy became bedridden, I had been doing this for her every day.

Changing Ethan's clothes and wiping him down was second nature to me.

By the time I finished, the way Eleanor looked at me had completely changed.

She thought for a moment and said, "The doctor mentioned that talking to Ethan is good for his recovery. If you're free, you can spend more time with him."

I nodded obediently.

From that day on, I visited Ethan's room every single day.

I sang to him, clipped his nails, wiped his face and body, and whispered all the high-society gossip I could find.

The system comments were throwing a fit daily.

[I'm so mad! These are all the things Serena was supposed to do to bond with Ethan!]

[Ethan's consciousness is awake! He can hear every single word she says!]

[Oh no, with her being so attentive, is Ethan actually going to catch feelings for her?]

[Relax. No matter how much Chloe does, she can't compare to a single glance from Serena. Ethan falls in love with Serena at first sight, remember?]

I stared at the last comment, deep in thought.

If nothing I did could ever compete with my sister, then I'd just have to change my strategy.

That night, as I wiped Ethan's hand by his bedside, I spoke up.

"You know, my sister Serena has always been a fake. She is terrified that I might be better than her."

"The year our parents finally saved enough money to buy a house in the city and brought me over, I scored first in the entire grade on our very first monthly exam. I beat her by dozens of points."

"Serena couldn't handle the humiliation of being compared to me. So, she convinced our parents that I was mentally unstable and had them commit me to a psychiatric facility."

Suddenly, the heart monitor beside the bed spiked.

My hands froze.

The system comments went wild.

[What is Chloe doing?! If she says this stuff, how is Ethan supposed to love Serena?!]

[Ethan really heard it! He's feeling sorry for Chloe!]

[Chloe is so manipulative! Does she really think she can make Ethan hate Serena like this?]

So he really could hear me.

Over the next few weeks, I told him more about my past every day.

How Serena ripped up my academic awards and claimed I did it myself to frame her.

How she spent thousands on designer bags while I couldn't even afford lunch...

And every time I spoke about the unfair things I endured, his heart rate monitor would fluctuate slightly.

A month passed. The day my IVF procedure was successfully confirmed, I held the pregnancy report in front of Ethan's face.

"Ethan, you need to wake up soon. I'm pregnant with your baby."
