After the little girl and her family left, Zayn finally stepped forward to pay respects to Cadence.In the photo on the tombstone, Cadence still wore that sweet smile. It seemed as if she had never left when he looked at that smile.But Zayn suddenly remembered that she hadn't smiled like that in a very long time.He cleaned her grave thoroughly. Then, he sat before it and stayed with her for a long while, talking to her."Cadence, I miss you so much. The world without you means nothing to me. Let's be together in the next life, okay? In the next life, you have to live well so that I can repay you a hundredfold or even a thousandfold for everything I owe you in this one."Zayn gently kissed the photo on her tombstone. Reluctantly, he stood up and left.But after he had driven quite a distance, he noticed something unusual ahead. He looked ahead and saw a car flipped over by the roadside with debris scattered everywhere.The car was emitting faint black smoke, and blood was seepi
Suddenly, the surrounding police officers all began moving in a flurry. They hadn't acted before because they didn't have Vincent's order.After getting over his shock, Vincent quickly gave the command, "Arrest him now!""Yes, sir!" Several officers immediately rushed forward and restrained Zayn's arms. They forcefully pinned him to the ground.Zayn didn't resist at all and allowed himself to be handcuffed by the officers. He knew his goal had been achieved, as the child in Cassidy's womb was gone for good.Thinking of that, he laughed softly while lying on the ground.Vincent frowned and remarked, "You've really gone mad."Who knew what Cadence would think of all this if she could see it from the afterlife?Vincent looked at Zayn and shook his head, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.After that, Zayn was taken into custody. Later, Vincent informed him that Cassidy had suffered massive blood loss at that time. Although doctors managed to save her life, she still lost the ba
Zayn lifted his head to look at Cassidy menacingly before letting out a cold, sinister smile. "You're living comfortably in the Ulrich residence now, enjoying luxury, fine clothes, and jewelry. You know exactly how all of that came to be, don't you?"Hearing his words, Cassidy suddenly realized something.Her expression turned into one of horror, and she began stepping backward. "Zayn, please don't…"But Zayn had already reached out and picked up the longest scalpel. "That's right. You used one of Cadence's kidneys and half her liver to deceive me. That's how you got all of this."So, if I take one of your kidneys and half your liver in return, it wouldn't be too much, would it?"By then, Zayn's gaze had become fierce and unhinged, like a beast driven to madness. What Cassidy owed Cadence had to be repaid… down to the very last bit!Cassidy was so terrified that her whole body went limp. She wanted to run, but all the strength in her body seemed to vanish in an instant."Zayn, p
After the funeral ended, Zayn drove back to the home that no longer had Cadence in it.He walked into the living room, soaked in rainwater.Cassidy was sitting on the couch, sorting through the pile of jewelry Zayn had once given her.Since the truth about Cadence had been revealed, she hadn't dared to leave the house. She had become a hated mistress and could only cling to these jewels to feel the slightest comfort.Hatred and disgust flashed through Zayn's eyes. He had taken Cassidy on shopping sprees through high-end luxury malls back then to make Cadence jealous. Whatever jewelry Cassidy liked, Zayn would buy it without hesitation no matter how expensive it was.He knew Cassidy would wear them in front of Cadence and flaunt them.He had always secretly anticipated Cadence's reaction. He fantasized that there would be a day when Cadence would get jealous to the point of questioning him. She might even act coy and ask him to buy something for her too.But Cadence always stay
Soon, the police officially confirmed Cadence's status as a heroine and issued the corresponding certification, which was delivered into Zayn's hands.In response, official media outlets began covering the story extensively. During a recent live stream hosted by a well-known streamer, viewers saw Vincent appear in person to reveal the truth about Cadence. It turned out that Cadence had been a nameless hero all along. She had risked her life alone to dismantle a crime syndicate for the country, and she had protected the people's safety.However, her younger sister, Cassidy, had taken advantage of the situation and stolen her husband. Moreover, the very day Cassidy held a wedding ceremony with Zayn was the same day Cadence passed away!Public opinion online shifted drastically. The people who once sympathized with Cassidy now began condemning her."This woman was a shameless mistress who dared to covet her own sister's husband!""She took her sister's place and still pretended to
Zayn was stunned into silence after hearing Travis recount everything Cadence had done.She had never betrayed him. To clear his name, she had made a tremendous sacrifice. To think that she had a kidney and half a liver cut out while still alive…How on earth could she have endured such horrifying pain? Zayn couldn't bear to imagine it.Not only had he remained ignorant of Cadence's suffering, but he had also tormented her in every possible way due to his misunderstandings later on.He was an utter fool! At that moment, he felt like he was the dumbest and most ignorant person in the whole wide world.Zayn lifted his head and looked at Travis' smug face. It was he who had revealed Cadence's true identity, which led to her torture by the syndicate.Travis should die for his terrible deeds!Zayn clenched his fists tightly. Then, he lunged forward and punched Travis with all his might."You beast! You harmed Cadence! Go to hell!"Punches rained down on Travis' face, leaving him ab
Vincent's words struck Zayn like a bolt from the blue.Zayn's pupils dilated suddenly, and emotions surged in his chest like crashing waves.But in the end, he only shook his head weakly and said in a soft voice, "No, she didn't tell me anything… Not a single word."Zayn choked, finally feeling his heart being torn to pieces. Just how much more had Cadence done for him that he never knew about?Beside him, Cassidy started backing away in terror. She wished she could disappear into thin air.Now that Zayn knew the truth, what would he do to her next? Trembling all over, Cassidy didn't dare to even think about it.The live streamer Cassidy had invited for the "interview" showed an awkward expression. He cleared his throat uneasily and quickly changed his tone. "Uh… Everyone, big news! Did you all hear that just now? Turns out Cassidy…"He kept rambling while backing out of the house.Finally, Zayn looked up again to stare at everyone in front of him."Officer Harris, there's no
"Cadence, you're already dead. So why am I still losing to you? Why does Zayn only love you? What do I lack compared to you?" Cassidy ranted, biting her lip furiously. Her fingernails dug deep into her palms as a flash of madness crossed her eyes.The next day, a large crowd suddenly gathered outside the Ulrich residence. Reporters, paparazzi, and live streamers gathered at the entrance. They set up cameras and microphones.One live streamer even managed to slip past security and climb over the wall. He sneaked into the house with his phone raised.Upon seeing Cassidy, he immediately turned his camera on her. "Hello, Ms. Lacroix, I'm currently livestreaming. I have a few questions I hope you can answer."Cassidy was startled. "H-How did you get in here?"She was wearing a simple maternity dress. When she turned around, she deliberately pushed out her belly, exposing it clearly to the camera."Ms. Lacroix, it's said that after your wedding with Mr. Ulrich, he still refused to make
Penny handed a thick file to Zayn. "All of Ms. Lacroix's medical records are in here."Zayn held the file and flipped through it, his expression growing heavier with each page he read.According to the records, the last time Cadence visited the hospital for treatment was the very day Cassidy found out she was pregnant.Scenes from that day flooded Zayn's mind. After Cadence and Cassidy fell down the stairs, she had lain on the ground like she had the wind knocked out of her. But he had ignored that completely and cruelly threatened her in defense of Cassidy.As Zayn recalled everything, he wished he could kill his past self.According to Penny's notes, there was even a record that Cadence had suffered a miscarriage."That fetus had already begun to take shape. It was a baby girl," Penny informed solemnly.After taking in Zayn's somber expression, all the things she had wanted to say were reduced to one single sentence. As a doctor, she had no right to judge anyone. Even if Zayn
