Chapter 1 Switch Identity
After my husband Paul Rodgers passed away, my in–laws, seeing that I was pregnant, insist- ed that his twin brother Thad Rodgers should marry me instead.
My sister–in–law, Jessie Rodgers, called me shameless and was so upset that she fainted from the shock.
I had intended to convince them to drop this idea, but then I overheard my mother–in–law Sarah Rodgers, sounding confused, ask, “It was clearly your brother who died, so why are you insisting it was you?”
The man sighed and replied, “The person I loved was always Jessie. From now on, I’ll take my brother’s place and look after her for the rest of her life. Please, let’s not talk about me continuing to be Monica’s husband anymore–it would upset Jessie.”
That was when I realized–the person who had died wasn’t Paul, but Thad.
The next day, at the dinner table, I told my in–laws, “You’ve been urging me to move on. I’ve thought it through and decided to terminate the pregnancy and start over.”
The man who had been helping Jessie eat suddenly stood up.
After Paul’s funeral, I found out I was pregnant.
For the sake of the baby, I tried to suppress my pain, worried that my emotions would affect the child.
But because Paul had a weak constitution, this pregnancy was especially difficult. I had to get daily injections to protect the pregnancy and was constantly vomiting to the point of nearly fainting.
At, barely over a month pregnant, I had already lost over twenty pounds and felt like I was barely hanging on.

Later, my in–laws couldn’t bear to watch me suffer any longer and urged me to abort the child, forget about Paul, and move on with my life.
But I refused. Paul had been so kind to me; how could I possibly give up on him?
In fact, when I first got engaged, it wasn’t to Paul, but to his older brother, Thad.
But before our wedding, I was kidnapped and tortured for three days and nights.
Thad, thinking I was no longer pure, called off the engagement and married Jessie instead. It was Paul, despite being badly injured, who rescued me from the kidnappers,
Even though he had been stabbed multiple times, he held onto me tightly and, bowing in front of my father Graham Wood, declared that he had loved me for a long time and wanted to marry me.
For
years, everyone said that he loved me deeply, and under his gentle care, I slowly healed the emotional scars I had suffered.
Sadly, it didn’t last long. Three years into our marriage, he died in a car accident.
It felt like the world had collapsed around me, and I even thought about joining him in death. But this child gave me a reason to live again.
This was his only bloodline. No matter what, I was determined to keep this child.
Seeing how determined I was, my in–laws stopped pressuring me.
However, the very next day, during lunch, they suggested that Paul’s twin brother, Thad, take on both families‘ responsibilities and care for me and the baby.
I was about to refuse, but then my sister–in–law, Jessie, suddenly lost control. She slapped me across the face and angrily accused me of being shameless.
Already frail, she didn’t even give me a chance to explain before she fainted from the shock.
Thad, frowning and displeased, shot me a look, then, filled with concern for Jessie, quickly picked her up and left.
