The Death That Drove Him Insane

When the pain got too much, I would clutch the bedsheets with all my strength. I tore off strips of cloth and stuffed them into my mouth, biting down hard.I had begged the person watching over me to call Daniel. Yet, he kicked me to the ground in disdain. He claimed that Daniel was busy with his engagement to Jennifer Easton. Also, he said that Daniel didn't have time for a despicable and filthy woman like me.Refusing to believe Daniel could be so heartless, I kept begging him to make the call. Annoyed, he finally gave in and dialed the familiar number in front of me.The moment the call connected, I burst into tears. I told Daniel about my brain cancer and how the pain was killing me. I begged him to save me. I even told him that the diagnosis was in my suitcase, and all he had to do was open it.But he cut me off, saying, "Jennifer's right, Helen. You're still full of lies. You haven't changed at all. You should be thinking about your mistakes. Even now, you're still trying to

From then on, everything about me was handed over to Jennifer. She even hid the fact that I was diagnosed with brain cancer overseas. Instead, she claimed that I had fallen in with the wrong crowd and was involved in something dirty.She locked me away in a secluded villa in the mountains, claiming she was "doing it for my own good". Ironically, not once did she come to see me.Now that she was going to give birth, she suddenly remembered her blood bank, which was me. Yet, she and Daniel didn't know that I had long since turned into bones, lying alone halfway up that mountain."Dan, does Helen still refuse to come back? She still hates me, doesn't she?" she asked, looking aggrieved as tears spilled down her cheeks.He quickly softened his voice as he comforted her, saying, "Jennifer, you had good intentions when you did that for her. She's the ungrateful one. It's not your fault."I've already canceled her cards and sent people to look for her. Don't worry—I'll definitely find her

The traffic light turned green, but Daniel's car didn't move. Horns blared from behind, urging him to get going, but he didn't budge. He sat dazedly behind the wheel, murmuring the word "impossible" over and over again.Due to his car blocking the intersection, the road quickly turned into a traffic mess.Amid all the angry honking, someone yanked open the car door. It was Uncle Ed.He reached out and slapped Daniel hard across the face. He dragged him out of the driver's seat and shoved him into the back. "What the hell are you doing out here? You turned your back on Helen when she cried for help. Now that she's dead, who are you putting on a show for?"She was a good young lady, and you made her sound so worthless. Did you ever try understanding her? Wake up, Daniel. She's dead. She's never coming back!"Daniel sprawled across the back seat, bawling his eyes out. He didn't stop until they reached the police station."Ed, I won't let Helen die for nothing. I will get justice for

"Dan, you've been fooled by Helen! Her kindness was all an act! You took her in and raised her like your family, but she ended up having feelings for you. The way she looked at you was truly possessive. She wanted to come between us and steal you away from me!" Jennifer seethed.The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, like I had truly been some terrible, manipulative person.Yet, Daniel stood up and shoved her away. "You're still lying at this point, Jennifer! I already know everything. I'm done believing you. For the sake of our child, I won't make this ugly. Just leave. Once the child's born, I'll have someone pick them up and bring them to my manor."Jennifer collapsed to her knees, unable to process what she had just heard. Then, after a moment, she started laughing. "Daniel, are you blaming me for everything I did? You were the one who allowed these to happen, didn't you?""Nonsense! Why would I ever allow you to hurt Helen?"She turned to face him, staring straight

"How dare you!" Hearing Jennifer's words finally snapped Daniel back to his senses. "Could it be that Helen had suffered even more without my knowledge?" Daniel mumbled to himself."No! I couldn't die now! I had to make every single person who ever hurt me pay back, especially Jennifer, the culprit who started it all!"Daniel pulled himself together, and Grandpa finally allowed him to leave the house.The first thing he did was to rush home. My ashes had been placed there for a month. He was afraid that I would be terrified, since I was timid.To his shock, the ashes were gone. The first thing that came to mind was Jennifer. She was the only one who would take the one thing he cared about most. His call proved him right. It was her, after all!"Want the ashes back? Sure, but don't you ever talk to me about divorce again. I will be the wife of Stewart Group's CEO!"With that, she hung up. It didn't matter whether Daniel still loved her or not. Given that things had already turne
