Author: Origin Of Echoes
A month later, Mia Scott suffered from a burn.

As she was going through a skin graft, Mike Anderson suddenly thought of me.

“Is it fun to give me the cold shoulder for that long?

“Be here in thirty minutes. If Mia has any scars because of this, I’m going to divorce you and split our assets accordingly!”

Splitting assets meant that everything in our marriage would have a price tag attached to it.

I was a housewife, and I would end up with nothing.

He believed that I would definitely go, but he did not know that I had already died in the fire along with our baby.

When I left our house, I felt a little strange.

A ghost once told me that if my lover thought of me, I would be able to leave my death site.

However, a month had passed, and I could not leave the house at all.

Mike had never once thought of me. He only remembered me when Mia needed a skin graft procedure.

I grimaced.

It was no surprise. When I was alive, he never cared about me.

What more, I was dead?

Mike was disinfecting Mia’s wounds, and he looked at her with such tenderness and care that I had never seen before.

His phone buzzed. He thought that I was calling, so he sneered.

In the end, it was a call from his team about a mission.

“Is the deputy chief dead? I told you that Mia’s injured. I have to be at the hospital with her.

“I don’t care about excelling in my KPIs. If it’s for Mia, I’m willing to let him have that chance.”

The call only lasted ten seconds.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt upset.

It turned out that he had ample time, he just chose not to spend it with me.

Or perhaps, he would only make exceptions for his precious Mia.

Mia pouted. She was young and beautiful.

“Mike, is Leah unwilling to donate her skin for my skin graft? Is that why she’s hiding?

“It’s fine, if I end up unmarried because of the scars, I’ll work in the firefighting department forever.”

After she said that, Mike’s eyes became fierce. Then, he called me for the very first time.

However, no one answered the call.

Out of desperation, he called my best friend, Sally Reid.

Sally scolded him, “Mike, where were you when Leah’s burnt to death?

“Did you know she was just pregnant with your child?”

Mike snorted and then immediately put in his divorce request in the system.

“Why are you teaming up to lie to me? I’m the chief of the firefighting department. Won’t I know if there’s a fire?

“Tell her that if she wants to continue this fight, I’ll divorce her!”

Divorce…

Even though my heart was no longer beating, I still felt it tighten in my chest.

I looked down at my translucent body and smiled mockingly at myself.

He did not have to divorce me. He had already regained his freedom a month ago.

Sally yelled at him for being a jerk. However, he was even more cold-blooded than I had imagined.

“I’m a jerk? Sure!

“Please tell her if she’s not willing to admit her mistakes, I’ll throw her mentally challenged mother out from the rehabilitation center to the streets!”

He ended the call after saying that. On the other end, Sally was already in tears.

“Mother? What mother…

“Her silly mother had already died in a car accident on her way to seek help from you…”

    “Hello, I’m Mike. Is Leah’s mother still at the rehabilitation center?“Can you keep a close eye on her? I’ll come and pick her up in a bit.” The only solution Mike thought of was to take care of my mother. However, what the nurse said next killed all his hope. “I’ve told you before that she’s no longer with us.”“Where’s she?”“She died in a car accident right in front of the fire station. Chief Anderson, do you not know that?”The phone slipped from his hand. Mike stared blankly. He could not believe it was real. Sally could not stop herself from slapping him. “You’re a jerk, Mike!“Leah’s mother had the IQ of a seven-year-old. She didn’t know anything, yet she knew she had to save Leah!“She thought you would save Leah, so she was calling out your name before she breathed her last breath in a puddle of her own blood!”My heart sank. I desperately wanted to look for my mother. However, with Mike there, I could not go anywhere. The divorce was no longer as simple

    Mike’s eyes widened his eyes in shock as he received the terrifying news. He did not believe his own ears. He refused to believe it. “Impossible! On the wedding day, I never received any calls at the fire station! Leah can’t be dead!” Logan laughed mockingly. He looked at his superior in disdain. “That’s right, you didn’t receive the call, but Mia did!“If she had told us earlier, just a little earlier…”As if Logan had recalled something terrible, he balled his fists up with an expression of anguish. I looked at them and hung my head. He was right. If they had been informed a little earlier, I could have been saved. However, those few minutes of purposeful delay led to my death due to asphyxiation. “She really wanted to live. She crawled to the exit with her bloodied limbs, but she still didn’t manage to escape…“No one would be able to have such strong perseverance, unless she’s a mother.” Sally cried and took out my pregnancy report from her bag. It indicated th

    The crowd’s emotions were stirred too. They felt that the numbers displayed on the screen were fair. Sally sneered and continued, “Mike, Chief Anderson, I remember back when you first got married, you said that you’d love her forever.“It turned out your love amounted to a measly one thousand dollars a month. Your love only gave her suffering!“Look at you! Do you think this is reflective of what you’ve owed her?”Mike looked up in fear. As expected, there was a twenty-thousand dollars gap to reach two million dollars. He suddenly recalled something as his lips quivered. “Impossible… It’s impossible…”“5,786! Do you remember this figure?” Sally was in tears. Her eyes were filled with sympathy toward me. “Those were three years’ worth of school fees! She was the one who sponsored your school fees that amounted to 17,358 dollars!“In order to earn enough money, she lost fifteen pounds in six months!” As she said that, I was shown on the screen again. I was working ma

    The audience started to grumble. “These are just a married woman’s responsibility. Why is he being charged?”“He’s working hard out there. Isn’t it the woman’s responsibility to do all the basic house chores?”The city hall’s staff member laughed and asked, “Do you need to pay for a nanny?”The crowd answered, “Yes.” “Do you need to pay a cleaner?”“Yes.” “Do you need to pay a caretaker?”“Of course!” “Since you say yes, it means these jobs have value. Then, why did you ignore the value of a housewife when they carried out all these tasks? Why did you turn a blind eye to women’s values?”The crowd became quiet. There were some faint sobs. No one knew who was crying. Maybe the sobs came from the women who had contributed in silence. I heard the cries and suddenly smiled. I had married Mike because of happiness in the first place. However, it turned out that he was the only happy one. Mia looked at the crowd that was no longer scolding me and stomped her foot in

    “How is it possible?“How could I possibly owe Leah that much money? She’s just a housewife!“Where is she? Why are you representing her? This is totally unfair!” Mike stared at the figure on top of his head that quickly became a negative number. As for Sally, the number on her head grew a lot, and it became two million dollars. Everyone started rioting. They said that Sally was replacing me, so it was basically cheating. Mia even picked up a water bottle and threw it at Sally. “What a lousy system! It’s a scam! Tell Leah to show her face and pay up!” “That’s right! Pay up, pay up!” Everyone started to chant. The bottle flew toward Sally. I subconsciously tried to shield her, but the bottle went through my translucent body. Fortunately, Logan appeared on time. He blocked the bottle from hitting Sally. “Are you alright?”Sally nodded. They turned around and glared at Mia furiously. However, Mia still looked very smug. The workers at the city hall were trying t

    After they slept together, Mia fell asleep. Mike suddenly thought of me. He carefully picked up his phone and scrolled through his contact list. When he saw my contact description as “loves Mike forever”, he let out a sigh of relief. Then, he sent me a text message. [Stop with your tantrum. I won’t really ask you to pay me. Just come over and donate your skin to Mia.][She’s still a young woman. How is she going to marry someone with such a scar? Come over, quick. I’ll be waiting for you at the hospital.]He kept checking his phone, but he did not receive any replies from me. Then, he kissed Mia’s cheek out of frustration. I grimaced. I felt relieved and sad at the same time. Tragically, in the past, I would have answered him happily. I would never have thought that he would text me right after cheating on me, which was why he sounded gentler than usual. As for relief… I touched my flat tummy and smiled helplessly. Thankfully, my baby never had to suffer in such
