My Late Husband Faked Death for a Rich Bride Chapter 9
As soon as Jayden walked into the office, Marilyn rushed toward him.She wrapped her arms around his waist and complained playfully, "Honey, how could you leave me at the airport? Do you know how embarrassing that was?"I don't care what you do. You have to make it up to me!"Jayden slowly pushed her away and stared into her eyes.He spoke slowly. "Make it up to you? I was just about to ask you. Four years ago, I asked you to give Viv 500,000 dollars as compensation. How did you give it to her?"A flash of panic crossed Marilyn's eyes. She blinked and forced a laugh. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Of course, I banked it into her account!"Jayden said nothing. He looked her up and down. "Are you feeling better? I haven't heard you cough in a long time. You used to say you might not even make it to next year."Marilyn froze for a moment, then smiled calmly. She said, "Thanks to the special medicine you bought from overseas, I'm much better now. The doctor even said I migh

At Westland Cemetery, rows upon rows of headstones stretched across the grounds.In one corner, cemetery workers were removing a headstone.Jayden glanced over. His eyes widened, and he rushed toward them without a second thought.He noticed a nearby headstone. It read, "In Memory of My Husband, Jayden Stone."The smaller headstone the workers were removing read, "In Memory of My Beloved Son, Theodore Stone."That was the headstone Vivian had put up for him!Tears poured down his face as he dropped to his knees before the grave.One of the workers, Walt Greene, jumped in surprise and looked at him in confusion. He asked Jayden, "You knew him?"Jayden's lips trembled as he spoke in a hoarse voice. "What are you doing? Why are you removing Theo's headstone?"Walt sighed. "If you knew him, don't you know what happened? Ms. Jagger has passed away. Her final wish was to be buried with her son. His ashes have already been moved, so the headstone has to go too."Ms. Jagger had a har

Jayden's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the cause of death on the form."Late-stage tracheal cell lung cancer. The patient died of organ failure."How was that possible?Four years ago, he had seen the medical report Marilyn gave him. It listed the exact same illness.It bore the city hospital's official stamp. It couldn't have been fake.Vivian's report, on the other hand, showed she was perfectly healthy except for mild nearsightedness.That day, Marilyn cried and said, "Jayden, if Vivian hadn't taken my place, I would've been the one who grew up with you. You would've loved and married me instead!"I've already lost so much. My only dying wish is to have you for a little while. Is that even too much to ask?"When she sobbed and begged him to spend her final five years with her, he gave in.Then, Marilyn stood on tiptoe and kissed him, and he didn't pull away either.The next day, he staged his fall off the cliff in front of Vivian.Seeing his stunned expression, Bett

By the time I ended the call with the funeral home, my face was already streaming with tears.I couldn't tell if the pain came from my heart or lungs. My whole body felt numb.It reminded me of four years ago, when I first learned I had lung cancer. I felt just as numb back then.It was also the fifth day after Jayden's supposed death.As soon as he was gone, Marilyn threw me out of the Jagger family. My parents allowed it and never even showed their faces.The moment I walked out of the villa, the hospital called. My exam showed I had late-stage lung cancer.The doctor told me to end the pregnancy because it would make my illness worse. But I was stubbornly determined to leave behind a child that belonged to Jayden.Jayden's parents had died when he was young. He once told me I was the person he loved most, and our future child would be his only family by blood.He had even picked our son's name long before he was born. He chose Theodore Stone.He said he wanted everyone to

Jayden paused for a moment, then curled his lips in disdain.He said, "So, what am I supposed to do? Rush over from the company to see her now?"The head nurse, Betty Moore, let out a sigh of relief. "It would be best if you could come. If that's not possible, just have the bodyguards at the hospital entrance let us through. "We can take her to the city hospital!"Jayden scoffed. "Isn't this just because she wants to see me? Enough. Stop helping her put on this act. I'm not falling for it!"How much is she paying you? I'll give you ten times that amount. Don't bother me with something this trivial. I'm taking my wife on our honeymoon."Betty said urgently, "Mr. Stone, I'm not joking! Ms. Jagger has been coughing up blood for the past few days and can barely eat. She's already lost more than 20 pounds. "We don't have the right medical equipment to treat her here. Her condition can't wait!"Jayden snorted coldly and ended the call.Betty stood in front of me, staring at the ph

I snapped my head up, only to see Jayden looking at Marilyn. He wrapped an arm around her waist to comfort her.A smile spread across my face. Then I laughed louder and louder until tears streamed down my face."Have you lost your mind?" Jayden snapped.I wiped away my tears and staggered to my feet. Looking at him coldly, I said, "I'm perfectly clearheaded."Then I added, "Jayden, go ahead and keep the bag. Pay back your own debt yourself. We're even now."I took two steps back and turned to leave.Jayden frowned deeply. Fear and confusion flashed across his face.Just then, Marilyn clutched her chest and cried out, stopping him before he could speak.Jayden caught her without thinking. She pointed at me with a frightened look."Vivian, what's that around your neck?" she stammered.I looked down at the cheap locket I had bought online. Inside was the last thing Theo had left me.Tears streamed down Marilyn's face as she shrank into Jayden's arms."No wonder my chest sudden
