Chapter 1

When Christopher came home, I was gently caressing my slightly rounded belly, where our child was growing.I was just about to share the happy news with him, but to my surprise, he came back earlier than expected.In our ten years of marriage, it was the first time we had been so in sync."Honey, I’m pregnant!"I could not stop the smile spreading across my face, already picturing him picking me up and spinning me around like they do in the dramas.But that image never came to life. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose, his exhaustion clear. It made my heart ache."Phoebe, Nikki needs your bone marrow."From the weariness in his voice, it was not hard to figure out who Nikki was. She was the woman he could never have, his one true love.Nikki Stone had ditched Christopher for a wealthier man when he was still a broke young guy. So why was she back now?At that time, Christopher was starting his business and desperately needed funds. I became a bar hostess, entertaining c

Chapter 2

I was suddenly terrified. Maybe he had never loved me at all.Christopher's deep, magnetic voice came through, filled with an emotion I had never heard before."Don't say such silly things. I’m your husband. How could I not love you?"It felt so comforting, and with that thought, I sank into a deep sleep.……The surgery went smoothly, and Nikki survived.I had turned into a lonely, wandering soul, unable even to save my child.My baby had not even fully formed yet, just a tiny embryo without a soul, leaving me to be a ghost in this world all alone. Maybe I used up all my good luck the moment I met Christopher. Now I had died on the operating table, taking with me the child who never even got the chance to open their eyes and see the world. That’s right, my innocent baby died with me!I was consumed with hatred! I hated those butchers who killed my baby, and I hated those unscrupulous doctors who covered up the truth!Christopher pressed a kiss to Nikki’s forehead, complete

Chapter 3

Christopher, you thought it was unlucky, didn’t you? But that was your wife and your child!I wanted so badly to rush forward, grab him by the collar, and demand answers. But all I could do was stand there and be a pathetic bystander.The doctor stopped him to collect the body-storage fee, and Sally immediately jumped in first and shouted."Everyone, look at this heartless hospital! Overcharging us like this. Isn’t this just taking advantage of us?!"Christopher barely frowned, but I knew that expression all too well. He was disgusted. I never thought he would be disgusted by his own mother.Money wasn’t an issue for Christopher anymore. He just wanted to avoid trouble, so he pulled out a few bills and handed them over, not even caring who took them."Mr. Ford, about Mrs. Ford..."Predictably, Christopher cut the doctor off once again."I don’t have the patience for this game. Let her handle it on her own."He squinted slightly, his gaze settling on the exposed finger of my bo

Chapter 4

I hovered above, taking in his disgraceful behavior. Bitterness was welling up inside me.Christopher, the phone that was always on standby for you would never be answered again. ……Christopher had been swamped with social engagements, turning down Nikki’s dinner invitations for several days straight. Around the dinner table, the businessmen made small talk, skirting around any serious discussions with him. "It’s almost ten o’clock. Why hasn’t your wife called to check in yet?" One of them teased him. Everyone in Christopher’s circle knew that his “nagging wife” would call like clockwork at nine every night. Hearing that, I couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. No wonder Christopher did not like me, with how I used to be. But why did my child have to pay the price? Christopher paused for a moment, holding his drink. He probably remembered the days when I used to check up on him, but for once, there was no hint of annoyance on his face. "She’s giving me the si

Chapter 5

Hearing Sally humiliate my father, I was overwhelmed with rage. Christopher said nothing but allowed her to dial the phone.The familiar ringtone played. It was a recording from my 18th birthday. I never imagined my father would use it as his ringtone.I had cut ties with my father for Christopher’s sake. In all these years, I had never called him once."If you want your daughter to be okay, wire the money right away."……Parents’ love truly knew no bounds. My father quickly transferred the money, leaving just one simple message. "Please love her a little more."I could not hold back my sobs. In the past ten years, I had failed my parents the most.Christopher, perhaps feeling a pang of guilt, thought it over for a long time before sending me a voice message. His deep voice came through, commanding as always."Phoebe, I forgive you. I’ve decided to consider giving our marriage another chance."It was like he had shot another bullet straight into my already shattered heart

Chapter 6

I must have been mistaken. How could Christopher possibly be happy to see me?"Christopher, I should probably leave. I don’t want Phoebe to misunderstand us," Nikki said. Noticing Christopher had not responded, she continued to push harder.Christopher’s eyes flickered. He pulled her close, planting a reassuring kiss on her forehead. "Don’t worry, she won’t dare do anything." Seeing the confidence on Christopher’s face made my blood boil. Then, I froze. I heard the door lock turning. My father bought this house for us the year we got married. He did not want me to be looked down upon in my in-laws’ home, so he spent most of his life savings to buy it. Only three people had keys. They were Christopher, my father, and me. But I was already dead, which meant it could only be my father! I pushed against Christopher, desperate to stop him. It did not matter how much he infuriated me, but I could not let my elderly father witness such a heartbreaking scene.……"What are

Chapter 7

"Didn’t I already tell you? Get the food from that place we used to order from!" Christopher’s assistant, bearing the brunt of his outburst, could not hold back any longer and revealed the truth. "Mr. Ford, the food you’re asking for was cooked by Mrs. Ford herself. She hasn’t sent anything in a long time." Christopher suddenly fell silent, gesturing for the assistant to leave. "Phoebe, how long are you going to keep this up?" He still refused to believe that I was dead, stubbornly convinced that I was just causing trouble. He even tried to arrange a meeting with my father, but my father rejected him without hesitation. "Christopher, could Phoebe really be dead?" Nikki asked, feigning innocence as she leaned into him, blinking her eyes. Christopher’s hand, which had been resting on her shoulder, suddenly tightened, making Nikki cry out in pain. He pretended to brush it off and offered her some empty reassurances. He then mumbled to himself, "No, it’s not possi

Chapter 8

The incident happened so quickly that no one could stop him.In that photo, I looked sweet and vibrant. Christopher had a vacant expression on his face. He suddenly reached out and touched my wedding ring in the photo, the one he had once called cheap.The other matching ring was with him, but he found it embarrassing and never wore it. Laughing and crying all at once, he collapsed to the ground, muttering repeatedly, "Phoebe, you’re so cruel. You really used death to punish me."……Christopher’s breakdown at my funeral spread like wildfire online. He shut himself off from the world, refusing to see anyone. I watched as he rummaged through the trash, pulling out discarded food and mechanically shoving it into his mouth. Some of the food was covered in dirt from a broken flower pot, but he did not notice, muttering as he ate, "Phoebe, why haven’t you come back to cook for me yet?" I floated above, unsure what to make of the situation. After my death, Christopher sudd

Chapter 9

"Mom, I’m the one who failed Phoebe. Please stop talking!" In a rare moment of conscience, Christopher pulled Sally away and started walking home. When they returned, Nikki was already making herself at home, acting like the lady of the house. Everything I had left behind had been thrown out, replaced with her clothes filling up the wardrobe that once held mine and Christopher’s belongings. "Christopher, I threw out all of that bar hostess’s things. From now on, it’ll just be me and the baby with you." Christopher suddenly erupted in anger and slapped Nikki hard across the face. "What right do you have to touch her things?" Both Nikki and Sally stood there, stunned. No one dared to intervene. Christopher was fuming and he threw Nikki’s belongings out in front of her. He also demanded to know where she had discarded my things. "But Christopher, Nikki’s carrying your baby!" Sally cried out. She was worried about her grandchild, but Christopher was in no mood to

Chapter 10

He lost control again, flooring the gas as he sped to find my father. Unable to resist him, my father took him to my grave.This time, Christopher knelt down faster than when he proposed to me, tears welling up in his eyes. "Phoebe, wait for me. Once I’ve handled everything, I’ll come find you!" My father stood off to the side, fanning himself. He watched coldly as Christopher made a fool of himself. Christopher soon discovered the truth. I watched as he laughed and cried, then finally banged his head on the ground, begging for my forgiveness. His belated love was worth less than dirt. "Mom, go talk to them. I’m ready to get married," he said, gripping his phone tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. Nikki called him soon after, her voice filled with coy excitement. "Christopher, I knew you still love me!" For the first time, Christopher remained silent toward her, only letting out a soft chuckle. "I finally know who I really love." ……During the wedding pr
