The Wife He Never Saw Chapter 11
Dr. Harrington's expression darkened."This expedition to Aylor Ridge is extremely dangerous, but it's also incredibly important. I'd love to have you on it, but your wife just passed away. Maybe you should sit this one out.""She died saving people." Danny pushed the application toward him. "I can't let her down."Before leaving for Aylor Ridge, Danny got everything in order.He stood outside my mom's house.Just seeing him pissed her off, so most of the time, she acted like he wasn't there.Finally, he spoke."Elizabeth, after Wrenn and I divorced, half our marital assets were still in my name. I've arranged for a lawyer to send money to your account every month. I also set up a separate fund in case you ever need medical care."My mom stared at him, confused.Danny smiled."Don't worry. My team's leaving for Aylor Ridge. I just wanted to make sure everything was handled. Before I go... can I visit Wrenn's grave one last time?"My mom wanted to say something, but the words

Danny ignored her.He got to his feet, numb, without giving Alicia a single glance.She kept trying to reason with him. "You have to move on. Life goes on. You can't spend the rest of your life mourning someone who's gone. You still have a future. You're the youngest archaeology professor!"Danny stared at her, unfocused. "But Wrenn doesn't have a future anymore. She was a criminal investigation prodigy everyone admired... Why couldn't I see how incredible she was?"Then he threw his head back and laughed. "Of course... Someone like me... How could I ever deserve someone like her?"His hands shook as he covered his face.His whole body went rigid. His throat trembled, but no sound came out.He finally understood.He didn't deserve me.With a sharp crash, Danny smashed a beer bottle.Gripping a jagged shard, he dragged it across his wrist.He didn't hold back.Like he had no plans to survive.Owen appeared in the doorway."Dad... Are you leaving me too?"Danny snapped bac

Owen was still so little.The second he heard "dead," he froze.Maybe he didn't fully get death yet. He only knew I wasn't coming back.His voice shook."No! You just don't want Mom anymore! You're keeping her away!"Danny ignored him.Owen planted himself in front of Danny and pounded his fists against him."Dad, you're awful! Please! Mom's so good... Please bring her back. Tell her I won't play games anymore. I won't eat junk food. I'll study hard. I won't be stubborn anymore... Please let her come home... I miss Mom!"Danny grabbed Owen by the shoulders and looked him straight in the eye."Your mom's dead. She's never coming back."Ignoring Owen's sobs, he turned and walked into the bedroom.He pulled out the old throw blanket I always used.Then he curled up on the bed, clutching it as he cried."Wrenn... If you can forgive me, please come see me in my dreams..."Watching it all, I felt nothing but disgust.Who was he putting on this act for?Even as a ghost, did I

"My daughter is dead! And it's all because of you! She'd rather recover bodies than stay with you! Why couldn't you leave her alone, even after she died?"Mom opened the front gate, her voice cold and ruthless."Have you ever seen a bloated corpse? Do you know what a crushed skull crawling with maggots looks like? I saw one from a distance once, and I had nightmares every night. I could barely drink water. But to get away from you, Wrenn spent every day around bodies like that!"Danny, I know you hated me for using my husband's sacrifice to pressure you into marrying my daughter. But if you didn't want to, you could've said so. If you didn't love her, you could've said so! Why keep another woman in your heart and still refuse to let my daughter go?"She had your child. She ran your whole household for years, and all of you looked down on her because she didn't have much education. Your entire family has no conscience!"Danny listened, blank.Like his soul had been ripped out.He

My vision blurred by the second.I lay helpless on the floor, blood filling my mouth as I coughed again and again.Crimson spread across the airplane carpet beneath me.The flight attendants screamed."Is there a doctor on board? Please, someone help! Help her!"The captain requested permission to turn the plane around.Passengers pressed clothing to my wounds, doing everything they could to slow the bleeding.Everyone prayed I'd survive.But life is full of regrets.I died on that plane, on my way to a brighter future. But I didn't regret it.***After I died, I somehow ended up back beside Danny.He was discussing a recent archaeology paper with Alicia.They looked perfect together.But Danny kept glancing at his phone, unable to focus."Danny, what's wrong?"Alicia reached for his arm, but he quietly stepped away.A hint of panic crept into his voice. "Wrenn's phone is off. She hasn't answered any of my messages for days. She's never done that before...""You two a

I stared at the divorce decree, overwhelmed with gratitude."Thank you. I won't waste this chance."From now on, I'd live for myself and give everything to the career I loved.Ticket in hand, I boarded my international flight.My phone kept ringing.Danny.I answered."Wrenn, you really sent me this fake divorce decree? Tell me the truth. Is there someone else? Is that why you keep pulling this crap? Be home in thirty minutes, or I swear, I'm going to lose it."I had zero interest in his nonsense.Even now, he still thought I was throwing a tantrum.I hung up and shut off my phone.So I never saw the life-or-death message that came in right before the screen went black.[Captain Russell: The suspect has an accomplice. We tracked him heading toward the airport. He has a homemade gun...]The second I stepped onto the plane, it felt like everything had finally ended.Strangely, the man beside me looked familiar.A baseball cap and a face mask hid most of his face.After ta
