My Merman Revenge: My Wife's Whole Family Goes Down

My wife, Krystal Merrill, said, "Hurry up. Turn him into a merman. Theo's still waiting for me to go back. It's a perfect chance to see how the merman experience differs from regular men."

The doctor's face turned pale. His voice trembled as he tried to dissuade her.

"Ms. Merrill, please reconsider this! Your request could greatly advance the research data, but this is a living person—"

Krystal interrupted with a cold laugh. Her tone carried an unyielding pressure as she said, "Don't be scared. I'll handle the police. You just do as you're told and modify him."

Her fingers traced the cold glass container, her gaze dark and obsessive. "Once he's a merman, he won't even be able to speak properly. He's already timid and frightened. By then, he'll be nothing but a worthless creature for display. He can only do as I say."

"Ms. Merrill, do you want to watch the entire modification process?" the doctor asked.

Krystal's reply was cold. "I've seen it done enough times. One more time won't matter."

I quickly lay back on the operating table.

The doctor looked at me with a face full of reluctance. "Mr. Stuart's vital signs are deteriorating rapidly. If no one takes proper care of him after this surgery, he won't last more than a month. His maintenance costs will be at least ten million dollars per month. Ms. Merrill, are you sure you won't regret this?"

Frowning, she spoke with certainty. "Regret? That's a small price to pay for Theo. Randy loves me so much. What does it matter if he knows the truth? I'll make sure he stays in the world I create for him. Ten million dollars a month? I can afford that.

"Just follow the blueprint I gave you and alter his body structure. Randy's afraid of pain, so give him extra anesthesia."

When the anesthesia was injected into my body, I felt nothing.

The next thing I heard was Krystal talking on the phone with the person responsible for the accident.

"Ms. Merrill, everything's taken care of. I'll send 1.5 million dollars to that account every month."

She responded indifferently, "Okay. Make sure he keeps his mouth shut. If anyone asks, just insist he was the one who crashed into Randy and his parents."

The voice of the culprit came through the other end of the line. "Don't worry, Ms. Merrill. Even if they kill me, I'll never say a word!"

The echo of the last words lingered in the operating room, while the dull ache in my heart had sharpened into a jagged blade, twisting deep inside.

It turned out that Theo Mosley was the real culprit behind the car accident that killed my parents and left me injured.

To protect him, Krystal had even paid someone to take the fall.

I hated her! I regretted everything! How could I ever have fallen for such an ungrateful and evil woman?

I could clearly feel them altering my body. The pain surged through my limbs and bones, and my consciousness began to fade.

When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital bed.

Krystal stood over me, her eyes filled with guilt and sorrow. Her voice was heavy with remorse as she said, "I'm sorry, Randy. I couldn't stop them. They said your condition worsened.

"While I wasn't paying attention, they went ahead and completely transformed your body. They said it was a scientific achievement that combined human and oceanic biology."
