Chapter 1

"Abigail! Are you alright, Abigail?"I floated in the air as I watched my husband, Leon Cadwell, rush out of his office. I was in the same ambulance, but he didn't even spare a glance at me. He hurriedly helped his first love, Abigail Lynch, who was barely injured, into the emergency room. He looked panicked and confused at the same time.Meanwhile, the other doctors swiftly arranged for me to be sent to the ICU and pushed me into the operating room to save my life.My face was pale, and I couldn't feel any pain as I watched my body being cut open on the table.I understood what was happening immediately.I had often heard that a person's end was near when their soul leaves the body. Since I was experiencing this now, I guess it was a sign that I was going to pass away soon.The gruesome scene before me was hard to bear even though it was my body. I turned away and drifted toward Abigail's room.Leon was crouched beside her bed as he gently caressed her cheek. "Abigail, why woul

My eyes widened in shock upon hearing that.Abigail seemed equally stunned by Leon's words. After pausing monetarily, tears rolled down her cheeks."Leon, you're always calling me foolish, but aren't you the foolish one now? How could you possibly marry me since you're married to Zoe? I promise I'll try harder to be the first person who meets you in my next life."Leon gently wiped away the tears from her face affectionately. "Don't cry. Seeing you cry breaks my heart. I'm not saying that to make you feel better. I'll start preparing the divorce papers in a few days. We can be together forever once you get better!"Leon was worried that she wouldn't believe him, so he immediately sent me a message: [Take these few days to prepare the papers, we'll be getting a divorce next week. I can't keep disappointing Abigail like this!]Abigail covered her mouth as she was overwhelmed with emotion, and she collapsed into Leon's arms. Both of them sobbed as they held each other.It was such a

Cough, cough!I suddenly opened my eyes.It felt like something was sucking my life away, and I could barely breathe. I felt as though I had been run over by a truck due to the pain that radiated from every part of my body.I was confused as I could feel the bed beneath me.I remembered my soul had already left my body. How was I back?Rachel, who had been sitting by my side, let out a cry of joy when she saw me awaken."Zoe, you're awake!"She was crying tears of happiness over my consciousness, and seeing her familiar face stirred something soft in me.Rachel was my junior by one year during our time as interns. I had taken care of her during the internship, and we had a close relationship.She had cried on my behalf when she found out that I had given up my promotion for Leon. She had felt that it was a waste for me to do that.However, I was too consumed by my love for Leon to listen to anyone at that time. I had brushed off all the advice I received."Zoe, that jerk did

"Rachel, what the hell is wrong with you?" Leon's sleepy and groggy voice came through. He was obviously angry. "We're getting a divorce tomorrow. What does Zoe want this time?""Leon, is it Zoe? Did she change her mind again?" Abigail's soft and cautious voice was heard, and there was even a slight hint of panic in her tone. "I just want to be with you. Why can't she fulfill my one small wish?"I heard some rustling. Leon must have said something to calm Abigail.Then, he barked, "Stop testing my patience with your silly games! Tell Zoe she'd better give up any hope she's clinging to and get the divorce done with me tomorrow!""Wait, no—" Rachel tried to say something, but Leon abruptly hung up the phone.She couldn't reach him at all after that.Leon had blocked her.Rachel was now sitting on the floor in defeat. I wanted to pat her head so badly, to tell her that she had done all she could and that none of this was her fault.However, all I could do was float above her and w

Leon grabbed Rachel's wrist and shoved her aside. "Here we go again! Zoe will say anything to avoid the divorce!"Rachel stumbled from the force of Leon's push. She was exhausted and tired from staying up all night. I wanted to catch her, but my efforts were in vain.Leon didn't notice the panic spreading across Abigail's face as he was too focused on Rachel."Fine. Show me some proof since you said Zoe's dead! I bet she's just regretting it again. She texted me yesterday to say that she agreed to the divorce. Maybe I'll reconsider it if she's really dead," Leon said.Abigail tugged at his arm anxiously.Leon immediately turned to her and softened his voice, "Abigail, did that scare you? It's all Zoe's fault. She has ruined our mood with her drama!"Perhaps Abigail had recalled her actions, and her face turned pale. "Leon, maybe we should check on her. What if she's seriously hurt?"She hesitated and quickly added, almost as if hiding her guilt, "I'm sure she's fine. Since we've

"Ahh!" Leon screamed.He stumbled backward and fell to the ground.Abigail, who had been afraid of entering the morgue, rushed in as soon as she heard his voice. "Are you okay, Leon?"She tried to help Leon to his feet, but he kept pointing in one direction frantically.Abigail turned around and finally saw my pale face.She gasped in shock, but her reaction wasn't as dramatic as Leon's."Zoe… No way…" She muttered in disbelief as she supported Leon to stand up."Stop lying, Zoe! Hahaha! Do you think you can fool me by showing me a random dead body that resembles you?! Come on, Zoe! Face me if you've got the guts!"I watched as Leon staggered forward to touch my face. Then, he started shouting into the silence as if he had suddenly remembered something. "Zoe! You can't fool me with some imposter! Come out! I know you're there!"He waved his arms around wildly, almost as though he was trying to swat something away.'I've been by your side all along, Leon.'My body was right i

I watched as Leon suddenly fell silent, almost as if he had collapsed under the final emotional strain.He uncovered the remaining white sheet on my body with trembling hands. At last, my body which looked like a broken doll was revealed.My abdomen bore several scars, and my skin was covered in bruises, bloodstains, and abrasions. Besides that, my skin had lost its glow and had turned ashen.I looked like a rag doll that had been tossed aside in the garbage after enduring something violent."H-how did she get hurt?" Leon croaked.Abigail was stunned, and I noticed beads of sweat forming on her forehead despite the low temperature in the morgue. "Leon, Zoe is gone. There's no need to—""You still had no idea about it?" Rachel snorted. "Of course, you wouldn't. All your attention was on Abigail. How could you possibly notice that Zoe had been brought into the hospital that same day with Abigail?""She was critically injured and admitted into the ICU because your beloved Abigail h

Leon resolutely called the police despite Abigail's desperate pleas.Abigail tried to run when she realized things were taking a bad turn.Fortunately, Rachel noticed it. She tackled Abigail to the ground and pinned her down until the police arrived.The train ticket Abigail had bought in advance was of no use. She was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and taken in for investigation.As the person who had reported her, Leon had to go along to the police station to give his statement.I watched as Leon carefully recounted every detail of the case. He even showed the police the messages he had sent me.I felt complicated.Perhaps Leon still loved me. After all, the love, happiness, and excitement we had shared during our time together hadn't been fake.However, the regrets of youth still lingered in his heart.His heart couldn't help but waver when the unreachable dream girl from his past re-entered his life after failing pitifully abroad.He had thought that he could m

Chapter 9

Abigail gazed at Leon with unhidden affection in her eyes. "At last, I don't have to address you as a friend anymore now."Leon looked at her with a complicated expression. "Abigail, why did it have to come to this?"She understood the meaning behind his words.She smiled bitterly and scoffed at herself."Yeah, why did it have to come to this? I thought I was only using you temporarily, but I could never forget the time when I came back broken and defeated after failing abroad. You were the only one who didn't mock me out of all our classmates, and instead, you treated me warmly.""I was scared when my crime was revealed, but my biggest fear was the thought that you might look at me differently instead of the punishment that I would face.""Leon, this isn't how things were supposed to be between us. We both made mistakes."Abigail broke down into tears regrettably as she covered her face."I'm sorry for what I did to Zoe. I know that I can never bring her back no matter how har
