Too Dead to Help Chapter 11
I didn't know this woman, but I had a pretty good guess who she was.Her son had likely also been deceived by Amelia.The middle-aged woman blocked the path of the guards, pointing at Amelia."Officers, this woman's involved in human trafficking. My son had just graduated when he met her. He was good-looking and bright. After going on a trip with her to Valoria, he went missing. For years, I've been investigating this quietly, afraid of tipping her off. "I finally discovered that she's a trafficker who sold my son to Valoria. And those missing college boys over the years? She's the one who sent them there. I've uncovered everything. Please rescue these children. My son is likely dead, but there are many others still enduring unimaginable torment!"The crowd murmured around her."Oh my goodness, is she talking about all those missing male students from top universities? Was it Amelia again?""This is terrifying. It's true that the devils walk among us. A monster like her deserve
Too Dead to Help Chapter 1
Victoria Marshall. That was my name.Today marked 312 days since I died.I couldn't let go, so my soul had been lingering in this world.However, my husband, Noah Carlson, showed up at my doorstep with a bunch of burly men, shattering the peace of the countryside.He glanced around with a face full of disdain."This place's still a dump. What's that smell? It stinks! Where's Victoria? Tell her to get out here! I was way too good to her. That's why she thinks she can ignore my calls and messages for a whole year. If Amelia hadn't gotten disfigured, I wouldn't have even bothered to look for her!"For the past year, my name had become a taboo in this house.When my mom, Melissa Young, heard it, her eyes welled up with tears. She slowly lifted her empty gaze and said, "Vic is gone. She died in the earthquake last year…"She began to chase them out."Stop looking! Vic's dead! My daughter is dead!"Noah didn't believe her. He let out a sneer."There's no way someone that viciou
Too Dead to Help Chapter 2
The place was a complete mess.My dad, Richard Marshall, sat in his wheelchair, grief written all over his face. His voice trembled as he said, "Noah, why won't you believe us? Vic is dead. There wasn't even a body left to bury."Noah spat on the ground."Nonsense! Do you really think you can fool me with a story like that? Victoria loved me too much to die and leave me behind!"With a single glance from him, two of the men behind him yanked my dad out of the wheelchair and beat him without mercy.My dad had been paralyzed for years. He couldn't even lift a hand to defend himself. Soon, he was covered in bruises and blood.My mom tried to stop them, but Noah kicked her aside. She fell hard to the floor."You old woman! Tell me where Victoria is, or I'll beat him to death!"I hovered near them, helpless and frantic."Noah! Stop it!" I shouted in vain. I wanted to stop it all, but there was nothing I could do.My hands passed right through them. I couldn't even stir the air.

Noah sneered. "So, you're all saying Victoria's dead, huh? Then where's her grave?"He was brought to my grave.A small mound rose from the flat earth. My name was carved into the tombstone."Dig it up," Noah ordered coldly.I let out a bitter laugh. Did he hate me that much?After we married, I gave him everything. I cared for him down to the smallest detail. I truly believed he'd come to see my worth and love me back one day.However, not only did he ignore everything we once had, he even wanted to destroy my final resting place.My mom threw herself in front of the grave."Stop! Don't touch it! Noah, please, let her rest in peace! I'm begging you…""Get out of the way, you old woman!"The men he brought with him dragged her aside and started digging.They pinned my dad to the ground. His voice cracked with pain as he roared, "Noah, you bastard! You heartless monster! You'll get what's coming to you!"Noah found him annoying and shoved a handful of dirt straight into his

Noah ransacked my house the entire day but still didn't find me.Just then, Amelia called him.After he hung up, he left two burly men behind to keep watch. He then got into his car and drove off.Before driving off, he gave one last order."Remember, if you see Victoria, bring her back to me no matter what it takes. I'm going to peel off her skin and give it to Amelia for the transplant."With that, he sped away.I didn't want to follow Noah. Yet, for some reason, I couldn't leave him. It felt like some invisible force had tied me to him, dragging me along whether I wanted to.I ended up going with him to Amelia's ward. She was lying in bed, visibly annoyed. Her once beautiful face was now twisted and frightening from the acid burns.Noah handed her a plate of washed fruit. He then poured her a cup of warm water, wiped her face, and tended to her with meticulous care.I could only shake my head with a bitter smile. He had never done any of this for me.Back then, I was th

"No way!" Noah snapped. He still refused to believe I was dead."If Victoria's alive, I want to see her in person. If she's dead, I want to see her body. Until I see that bitch's face, I'm not buying it!"Just then, Oliver came out of the house, heading to the bathroom. The moment he saw Noah's furious face, he burst into tears."Bad guy! Go away! Get out!"Oliver ran over and tried to push him. However, Noah shoved him hard, sending him tumbling to the ground.His knee hit the frozen pavement and scraped open on impact.I panicked and rushed to help him up. No matter what I did, I couldn't get close. My hands passed right through him.I wanted to slap myself.My son and my parents were being bullied right in front of me, and I couldn't protect them.Noah stared coldly at Oliver. "You weak little brat. Just look at you. You don't deserve to be my son."Oliver cried even louder.Noah showed no hint of pity. He pulled a folding knife from his pocket and waved it in front of Ol

Noah roared, "Watch your mouth, old hag. Amelia is the woman I love, not some tramp. Got it? She's my first and only love! Apologize. Now!"However, my mom refused to apologize.Noah pressed his foot down harder on her chest. Still, she stayed silent.He grew more agitated and turned to Oliver. He waved the knife in front of Oliver again. "You old hag, either you apologize now, or I'll kill this little bastard right in front of you!"Panicked, my dad fell out of his wheelchair and scrambled over. He gripped Noah's ankle in a desperate attempt to take the pressure off my mom's chest."Noah, we were wrong. Amelia isn't a tramp. If there's any shred of conscience left in you, let them go. You want an apology, right? I'll do it! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"As soon as my dad apologized, Noah finally lifted his foot off my mom's chest.She dropped to her knees and broke down in tears."Noah, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll kneel and apologize. I shouldn't have called Amelia a tram

Noah frowned, clearly in disbelief. He stepped forward and snapped at the police. "Are you sure you've got the right person? Just because there's a body floating in formalin, you're saying it's Victoria? It could be someone else. That woman's cunning. This might just be another trick to avoid donating her skin to Amelia!"The officer's expression turned cold. He said sternly, "Mr. Carlson, this wasn't a casual judgment. We have strict identification procedures. I suggest you show some respect to the deceased."Noah still wanted to argue, but the officer's sharp gaze shut him up.Nearby, the janitor trembled as he added, "I-I was just cleaning when I saw someone floating in a big jar. It scared the hell out of me. I called the police right away. I never imagined I'd run into something like this…"I hovered off to the side, watching everything unfold. I never thought this would be how I showed up again. And even now, Noah was only thinking about getting Amelia a new face. My li

Noah's cheek quickly became swollen, but my parents acted as if they didn't see it. They took Oliver into the room and shut the door.He stayed there, kneeling on the ground well into the night. When he finally left, his steps were unsteady. He kept muttering apologies to himself.I sighed. What was the point of all this now?That night, I found myself drifting in front of Noah again.He had somehow found the photos of us from before and placed them on the dining table.He lit candles and prepared a lavish dinner. They were all my favorite dishes.Back when I was alive, he never once cooked for me. Now, he'd made so much of the food I liked.For a moment, I felt a strange sense of relief. So he did know what I liked to eat."Honey, I know you love these, so I made them for you. I read online that when someone is murdered, and the killer isn't punished, their soul won't rest."Noah reached out to touch the air."Honey, you're here with me, aren't you? I miss you so much…"He

Noah crouched down, sobbing uncontrollably.I sighed. Why was he crying over me when I was already dead?Amelia pled guilty and was taken into custody. A few days later, she was brought to court.I followed along, drifting with her.Amelia was sentenced to death.The day before her execution, they asked if she had any last wishes. She said she wanted to see Noah one last time. Despite his reluctance, Noah went to see her.After such a long time apart, Amelia had become much thinner, her scars more grotesque.Noah's tone was harsh. "Is there anything left to say between us?""Of course there is." Amelia's amber eyes glinted with mischief."I'm going to die. There are still things I need to tell you."She paused for a moment."Do you know why I had you undergo limb-lengthening surgery? It's because you resemble my dream guy by 80%. The final 20% was because you were too short. Only by having the surgery could you look like him."Noah stared at her in disbelief."So, you neve

As soon as Amelia was wheeled out of the examination room, she was surrounded by a group of police officers.They showed their badges and said sternly, "Ms. Amelia Duffy, we need your cooperation regarding a murder case from one year ago.""Me? I'm just a regular person. I don't know how I could possibly help you. Just look at my face…"The officers ignored her explanation and cuffed her on the spot.She and Noah were taken to the police station. Amelia was locked into the interrogation chair. The room was cramped and dim, with a single spotlight aimed straight at her face.One officer questioned her coldly, "Did you kill Victoria a year ago?"Amelia's eyes darted. Instead of answering, she shot back, "You're the ones accusing me of murder. Shouldn't you be the ones providing evidence rather than me proving my innocence?"I figured she was speaking with such confidence because she was certain there hadn't been any evidence left behind that night. If there had been, she wou
