The hospital corridor was so quiet that even footsteps seemed to vanish into the silence.

Livia walked briskly down the hall, her long hair still tousled from the night wind outside, but her eyes burned with a clarity and cold resolve she had never shown before.

The door to the hospital room wasn’t locked.

She pushed it open with one forceful motion.

A familiar scent wafted out to meet her.

Under the dim light, Marcellus sat on the bed.

He looked as though he’d just awakened from a troubled dream, staring silently out the window.

His gaze was hollow and weary. The stubble on his jaw and the shadows under his eyes betrayed days of exhaustion. Though his body had been slowly recovering, the ever-worsening state of affairs weighed on him even more heavily—his spirit clearly frayed.

“Marcellus.”

Livia’s voice was low, but it carried the weight of long-suppressed fury and accusation.

He flinched, slowly turning to her.

When he saw the fire in her eyes, a flash of confusion and hesitation f

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 277 – I… Am Alia

    No matter what, she now understood everything about Marcellus—including the pain behind his silence, the struggle buried beneath his choices.Alia’s heart was a tangled mess, knotted so tightly she could barely breathe.She wasn’t Livia. She couldn’t forgive Marcellus on Livia’s behalf.But she—as Alia—could she forgive this man?She leaned against the wall of the hospital room, her fingers pale from clenching too hard. In her mind, she kept replaying every word he had just said.His remorse wasn’t an act. Neither was his collapse.He stood before her like a man drowning—raw, gasping, broken—struggling to climb out of a well of memories.And the more genuine he seemed, the heavier her heart became.She looked down at her hands—once nimble and clever, shaped by years of thievery. Now, they were pale and slender: L

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 276: The Truth Behind the Coma

    “I really didn’t know…” Marcellus’s voice trembled as he spoke, barely above a whisper. “I think I’d already lost my mind back then. I wasn’t thinking clearly… I’m not trying to make excuses for myself. But the truth is—I never truly considered telling you the truth.”His hand slowly covered his face, fingers whitening as they pressed against his skin, as if trying to block out the shame, to hide the guilt and the past he had never dared to confront. His shoulders trembled faintly, and the heaviness of his emotions thickened the air, like a damp, suffocating curtain that wrapped around the room.Perhaps it was because she was not Livia—Alia, watching from a slight distance, could see it more clearly.She looked silently at the man before her, consumed by regret.If the Holy Grail’s power was truly as the legends described—capable of disrupting will and eroding reason—then perhaps Marcellus’s secrecy and hesitation weren’t born only of cowardice, but rather, a distorted survival instin

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 275: Marcellus’s Justification

    Under the dim yellow light of the hospital room, Livia stood silently at the edge of the bed, staring at the pale, gaunt, and evasive-eyed Marcellus.Her heart surged with conflicting emotions. She had come here with the fire of interrogation and the fury of betrayal, but now, face to face with this familiar yet broken man, all that roaring emotion froze like fire meeting a glacier—falling into heavy, unmoving silence.She took a slow breath. Her gaze was sharp, like frost.“Then where is it now—the Grail fragment?”Marcellus let out a bitter smile and shook his head, a look of deep entanglement crossing his face as if he were staring into an abyss he could never reach again.“After that night… I suddenly became clear-headed. It was like the weight pressing on my chest had been lifted all at once. But just a few days later, the fragment… disappeared.”He paused.“I don’t know where it went. Maybe I lost it. Maybe it ‘left’ me on its own. I couldn’t find it again, no matter what I did.

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 273: Jim’s Scheme

    Farther away, beyond the smoldering edge of the battlefield, down the slope still hazy with smoke, Jim strode swiftly toward Will.The two finally regrouped.Will’s face was dark with tension, his brows knit with unspoken questions.The moment he opened his mouth, restrained fury laced every word:“What the hell is all this about? I followed General Eryx’s orders—I cooperated with you as best I could.”His voice wasn’t loud, but every syllable landed sharp and heavy, like he was finally confronting a mystery he could no longer ignore.Jim casually brushed the dust off his jacket, seemingly unfazed.Instead of answering right away, he turned to glance back at the still-chaotic battlefield behind them.Then, in an almost lazy tone, he said:“For intelligence, of course. I used the fragment I had to lure out the others—see who else was hiding the same thing.”“Now it seems… aside from me and General Eryx, there are three more forces holding fragments.”His voice was calm and steady, but

  • Reborn as the Wife He Killed   Chapter 272: The Struggle for the Grail Fragment

    Just moments ago, the auction hall had been silent.The instant Livia’s fingertips touched the fragment of the Holy Grail, an unspeakable force surged through her nerves and into her mind.It was as if her entire being had been drained—her vision went dark, and without warning, she collapsed backward.Almost at that exact moment, Elias’s gaze snapped to her.He showed no surprise.In fact, there was a trace of cold scrutiny in his eyes—Clearly, he had anticipated this.He remained still, silently scanning the room, carefully watching the shifting expressions of the onlookers as shock rippled across their faces.Shock—yes. That was everyone’s first reaction.But on each person’s face, it manifested differently.Jim was the first to recover.His expression changed subtly as he quickly reached for the fragment, snatching it back with practiced precision, almost instinctively shielding it.Then, without bothering to hide his suspicions, he swept his eyes across the room.The first person
