Chapter 1

When I cut my wrists, I sent the undertaker I hired my exact location.

[It’s 304, Unit 1, Garden Road. Don’t get it wrong now.

[Be sure to come two hours later.]

Half a month ago, I learned that I had cancer, so I went online to hire an undertaker and asked him to provide the full service. I also asked him to come whenever I asked him to.

The older generation always said that you had to be properly buried, or you would not be able to rest in peace, and I believed it.

So, I worked hard to gather money in order to secure myself a proper burial, but to my surprise, after I sent the message, I received a call from my undertaker.

The deep voice of a man came through the phone. “Sorry, something came up in the afternoon, so I won’t be able to go. I can give you your money back. Does that sound good?”

When I heard this, my phone nearly slipped out of my grasp.

I bit my lip and said, “You promised that you’d come when I asked you to!”

If I had not seen all the good reviews the people left for him online, I would not have believed in him!

Still, he was telling me that he could not come?

How was I supposed to hire someone else to give me a proper burial within such a short period of time?!

Perhaps it was because I was quite choked up when I was speaking, but the undertaker hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t we settle this with a form of compensation you can accept? How much money do you want?”

This was not a question about money.

I was already half-dead, and he blew me off!

My hands were trembling, and the blood on my wrists had already soaked through the hem of my dress. What my dress could not absorb splattered on the floor.

I could no longer care about how dizzy I was and could only force myself to speak. “But I’m going to die today. Why don’t I pay you a little more? Please come here. It won’t take you much time.”

Since he had already said this, I could not be greedy anymore. I would just ask him to collect my body.

“I only have one simple request. After I die, please send me to the crematorium, okay? I’ve just cut my wrists, so I won’t have time to hire another undertaker.”

I cast aside my pride and begged the undertaker to fulfill my request.

My heart was racing. I was really worried that he would say no.

After a moment of silence, the undertaker seemed to have finally caught the crux of the situation. He instinctively asked, “You’re the one dying?”

I was stunned and answered him honestly. “Who else?”

  • I Hired an Undertaker After Getting Cancer   Chapter 11

    I covered Liam’s mouth and grumbled, “I finally broke free of them, so why are you still talking about them to me? Whether they live or die is none of my business anymore.”I leaned against him and shut my eyes as I felt the mountain breeze.I smiled brilliantly. “I just want… to live for myself from now on. I was pretty much a failure my whole life. I had no friends, and I was never the one picked for any teams or events. In the past, I thought that my life was ruined.“But now that I think about it, we all have our purpose in life. At the very least, God let me meet you.“At the moment I think about how there will still be someone who will remember me after I die, I’m no longer afraid.”At night, Liam and I went down the mountain. When I was tired, he carried me down.While I leaned against his back, I asked, “Liam, when you said that you didn’t have any family left, what did you mean?”I felt Liam freeze for a moment. I could not see his expression, but I could hear him s

  • I Hired an Undertaker After Getting Cancer   Chapter 10

    Every morning over the next half a month, Liam brought me to chemotherapy.During one afternoon, he said that he would help me choose a gravesite.When I saw that the gravesite I chose cost much, I looked down at the one-hundred-dollar bill in hand and felt dejected.Liam seemed to have understood what I felt, and he just patted my head dotingly.“Do you like it?”I nodded. “Can I have it?”After some thinking, Liam said jokingly, “Call me Lee, and I’ll buy it for you.”I blinked. Then, with a well-behaved look in my eyes, I stood on my tiptoes and drew near to his ear while also grabbing the hem of his shirt. I whispered softly, “Could you buy it for me, Lee?”Liam could not take it. He turned his head to the side. But his face burned so red that it reached his ears.He cleared his throat and did not dare look me in the eyes. He still handed me his card, though.“U-Use it!”I cradled my stomach and laughed.To think that Liam would have such an adorable side.When Liam

    I was sent to the hospital.When I woke up again, I had tubes sticking out of all parts of my body.The vile smell of medicine assaulted my nose.My whole family was by my bed.My mother was tearing up.“Maria, are you feeling better?”I watched these people and summoned the last bit of strength to push them away.“Go… away!”Cancer did bring me pain, but it was not even 1/1000 of the pain my family brought me.I did not want to see them again.Every single one of them made me feel disgusted.Aaron knelt down beside my bed. Despite being a man, he was wailing.He held my hand and begged for my forgiveness. “Maria, I’m sorry. I overlooked your feelings and made you go through so much. I’m really sorry. I just want you to get better.“I’ll buy you whatever you want, okay?”Despite an oxygen mask over my bloodless face, my expression was one of indifference.People were like trees.When a tree was empty inside, it could still stand tall, and everyone would still think that

    As I watched her clearly fake kindness, I felt disgusted, so I flung her hand off of me.“I don’t need you pretending to be nice to me.”Lydia staggered and nearly fell, but Aaron caught her.Worried, he said, “You’re always so considerate of other people. Why are you so foolish?”Jake went to Lydia’s side and stared at me in disgust.“Did you see that, Lydia? She’s an ungrateful one! You’ve been worried about her for an entire night and asked us to come find her in the morning, but she’s trying to curse you so you’d die!”Feeling resigned, I had to defend myself. “This urn isn’t for her.”But Aaron just scoffed, as if he could already predict what I wanted to say next.“Are you going to say that the urn is actually for you? Only Lydia would believe you. You bought an urn to make us pity you, right? Did you actually think we’d still believe in you?”My face turned pale, and I gripped my urn so tightly that my knuckles turned white.“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or

    Liam came out of the kitchen and heard what I said. He frowned and grabbed my phone to look at my mother and Jake.He sneered and said, “You’ve always wanted her to be mature and obedient, but have you forgotten just who the culprits, who caused all this, are? You’re not worthy of asking her to go back now.”Before they could say anything, Liam had already ended the call for me.“Trash! All of them!” Liam helped me up and put a jacket on me before wrapping a scarf around my neck.“Let’s go.”I was puzzled. “Where to?”Liam put his hands on my head and smiled. “We’re celebrating your birthday.”The wind on the roof was really strong that night, but my palms were warm.As brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky, Liam put on a birthday hat for me and said in embarrassment, “I couldn’t buy one in time, so I just grabbed random stuff at home to make you one.“Here’s to your 22nd birthday, Maria.”I stared dazedly at the fireworks exploding in the sky for me, and I could not hold

    Liam made me take a full body check-up. He then asked the doctor quietly, “How is she?”The doctor sighed and looked at me. “I’m sorry, but her cancer cells are spreading really quickly, and she didn’t get treated during the early stages either, so the situation isn’t looking good for her.“If we give her conservative treatment, she’ll have at most a year.”I had another year?I thought I had less than two months.I smiled. It was genuine this time.“It’s fine. One year is really good for me.”When we left the hospital, Liam stayed silent and did not say anything, but he held my hand really tightly.I knew that he was angry at me for giving up on staying in the hospital for treatment.But I did not want to stay in the hospital and be forced to breathe in the smell of disinfectant before I died. That was why I rejected the doctor’s suggestion.I held his hand and flashed him a smile. “Won’t you talk to me, Liam?”Liam turned around under the streetlamp, and I saw that his e
