Mr. Fraser, go out first. I’ll talk to my mother.” Kathryn knew that Pedro was worried and concerned about her.
She comforted him, “Don’t worry, my mother won’t really kill me. I was born by her, and I did something that ruined her plan. I deserve to be slapped by her.”
Clarissa didn’t really kill her because Kathryn felt Clarissa still cared about their relationship.
Pedro glanced at Clarissa, then looked at Kathryn’s red and swollen face with heartache, and walked out silently.
He asked the nurse for some ice and handed it to Kathryn, asking her to apply it to her face.
Kathryn took the ice and said, “I’ll apply it. You can go out now.”
Pedro pursed his lips and finally walked out.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the ward, Kathryn applied ice to her face and said, “Mom, you must be tired from standing. Pull a chair over and sit down.”
Clarissa stared at her for a while, then dragged a chair over and sat down.
“Mom, next time you hit me, can you please not hit me on the face? I’m not pretty enough, and if my face gets swollen, it will be even uglier. I don’t even have a man as your daughter, and if you make me ugly, I won’t be able to get married and give birth to a daughter. Even if you kill Liberty and the others, you will have no successor.”
Clarissa said, “Stop joking with Mom.”
Kathryn replied, “I wasn’t joking. Mom, I was talking to you seriously.”
Clarissa inquired, “When did you wake up?”
Kathryn answered honestly, “When you were mumbling to me and crying. I woke up and pretended to be asleep. It was very difficult to pretend to be really asleep.”
Clarissa was speechless.
After staring at Kathryn for a while, Clarissa said angrily, “I did that for your own good! Even if it means losing my life, I can guarantee that the position of the head of the family will fall to you. The descendants of your aunt will never be able to compete with you!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...
