Chapter 1

I looked at Dustin White disappearing before me with despair.His soulmate, Celine Hoffman, had her hands around his neck as he carried her off.I could briefly hear her saying in a pitiful tone, "Dustin, I'm fine. Your wife said she's pregnant, you should go back and save her."I could feel my flesh start melting little by little. The bubbling lava in the lake swallowed me gradually. I could not help but wail due to the extreme pain. "It's so painful. Please save me… "I stared in the direction they were walking away as my body sank gradually. All I heard was Dustin answering with disgust, "Celine, you are just too kind."She is so selfish that she can even make up a lie about her fake pregnancy. Why are you still speaking for her?"We are in the same profession, and we are trained on self-rescue. She has only accidentally fallen into a lake. She will be able to find her way out herself."Her act can only deceive someone like you."Tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes

Chapter 2

She was extremely provocative in our chat conversation."I'm sorry, Samantha. Please allow me to be a little selfish. I'm going to die soon. All I want is to have a brief moment of happiness before I die."She posted a picture of her holding hands with a man on her social media, with the caption, [You are always there whenever I turn around.]There was a mark on the man's ring finger where his ring would have been.Three days later, they held a small wedding in a church in the suburbs.I rushed to the venue and questioned them angrily. However, Dustin slapped me hard.He looked at me with disappointment. "Samantha, Celine is about to die. Can't you just be kind to her?"I just want to fulfill her last wish. We are only having a wedding; we are not really getting married. Do you think you would have the chance to marry me if it weren't for her leaving?"You are nothing compared to Celine."His disgusted and insulting tone made my heart ache.He had completely forgotten that if

Chapter 3

"What are you still standing there for? We need to get down the mountain quickly; Celine is not feeling well."Everyone rushed down the mountain in a hurry. Vicky was left alone to fight against the odds.I wanted to catch up with Vicky, but I was trapped beside Dustin. I had to go down the mountain with them.Celine's health problem was not really serious; she just had a scare. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Without Vicky being around, no one thought of me.The next day, Celine was about to be discharged from the hospital. Dustin called me then.The cold female automated voice prompted that my phone was turned off. Dustin frowned and sent a voice message to my phone."Where the hell are you? Do not think that you can threaten me by going missing! Come to the hospital immediately to pick Celine up. She will be living with us during this period. You shall take care of her."I was floating in the air, watching him go crazy with the voice message, looking ridiculous.'Where

"When can you start acting sensible? Your mother is worried about you. Aren't you afraid anything bad may happen to her? Get back here immediately and stop creating trouble for everyone."There were two seconds of silence on the other end of the call.Next, an awkward female voice came through. "Excuse me, is this Ms. Samantha Freeman's husband? I'm calling from the hospital. I can't get through to Ms. Freeman's phone, so I have to contact you."May I know when will Ms. Freeman be able to come for her prenatal check-up? It's time for her routine check-up."Dustin was stunned. After a long moment, he managed to utter, "What did you just say? Is she really pregnant?"Dustin obtained the ultrasound report from the hospital. The diagnosis showed that the baby was more than three months old. Dustin could not hide his excitement.He was completely unaware that Celine, who was standing beside him, displayed a flash of viciousness in her eyes.Celine looked so frail when Dustin looked a

Chapter 5

Vicky arrived and threw my backpack at Dustin. All the miscellaneous items in the bag fell out.The heavy cell phone smashed Dustin's forehead; blood gushed out instantly. Vicky then charged forward and slapped him hard."I could only find her backpack there. It contains all her geological exploration tools. She spent a lot of time and effort to purchase those tools. She once told me that she would rather lose her life than lose her tools."Tears fell uncontrollable down Vicky's cheeks. She covered her face and shook her head continuously as she said, "I think something terrible must have happened to her; otherwise, she would not have left her backpack..."I could not help but start crying too.The backpack was the evidence I tried my best to throw to the shore with all my strength. I did not expect the person who found it in the end was not my husband.As he looked at how emotionally devastated Vicky was, Dustin, on the other hand, did not have any sense of guilt.He frowned an

Chapter 6

"The temperature in the lake is extremely high, and it can melt a person alive. As such, we could only find some debris of her bones and flesh."Ms. Samantha Freeman is confirmed to be dead. Please come to the police station as soon as possible to record your statement."Bang. The phone with the speaker still turned on fell to the ground suddenly.Dustin looked up in a trance, and his face turned pale instantly."That's impossible!" Dustin roared angrily.He picked up his cell phone as quickly as possible and dialed my number. The next second, the phone rang beside him. He stared at the phone. His palms began to tremble violently. His eyes were all red when he looked up.He could not stop calling my number, and my phone did not stop ringing."Isn't she pregnant? She wanted a child so much, she would not die so easily..."Dustin kept shaking his head. He struggled to get up; his eyes were filled with anxiety and panic."That's right, this must be another one of her tricks!" D

Chapter 7

"Samantha!"My mother and Vicky arrived later.When my mother saw the contents of the sampling bag, her face turned pale, and she fainted instantly.Vicky screamed and slapped Dustin hard."You killed her! You killed your child!"Vicky glared at him fiercely and spoke, "Dustin, are you happy now? Samantha is finally dead, you can finally live with your soulmate. What a pity, she is about to die too!"Dustin stood up suddenly. He pushed Vicky away and ran out like crazy.My soul was still attached to him. I was forced to follow him around, floating around with him.I found that he was heading to the lava lake. The place where I died.The lake's lava had been drained, but some thick lava was still gurgling at the spring area.Dustin ignored the dissuasion of the people around him and jumped into the lake. He was in a daze, trying his best to find traces of my existence in it, like a madman.I could not help but laugh.If he had turned around and looked back at me a little bac

Chapter 8

It was ridiculous that Dustin did not notice anything unusual. He thought that Celine was going to leave him again.I had lost all hope in Dustin. I felt incredibly calm when I saw his reaction.Celine stretched out her hand and held Dustin's arm tightly. "I'll come back as soon as I feel better."Dustin tilted his head. "Really? Why don't I go with you?"Celine's face was slightly pale at that. "No, it's not necessary. As Samantha has just passed away, there must be many things that need you to arrange. I don't want you to delay your matters because of me..."Dustin whispered, "Celine, you are always so kind."Celine secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Vicky had been waiting at the door for ages. When she saw Dustin and Celine returning together, she used her freshly manicured nails to scratch Celine's face several times."Witch!" Vicky was furious, venting her emotions.I did not know if it was my imagination, but Dustin did not seem to protect Celine much at that moment. It

Chapter 9

The terminal illness she claimed to have never existed."This is fake!"Celine panicked. She stepped forward quickly and grabbed Dustin's arm. She explained urgently, "Someone must have faked this to slander me!"Dustin said firmly, "You have been lying to me for the past year."Celine shook her head quickly. "No, I didn't..."Dustin brought out all of the physical copies of Celine's medical records."I have asked someone to investigate further. These medical records of yours are not in the system. You forged them all!"On top of that, your medical treatment abroad is all lies. You are not sick at all."I'm very curious…"Dustin stood up, staring sternly at her. "Samantha died, and you wanted to leave suddenly. Why is that so?"Celine's facial expression suddenly changed. Dustin's cell phone rang at that moment.Vicky's voice was heard outside the door, "Dustin, look at the recording I just sent you. Samantha was killed by Celine, the witch!"Before I died, I used all my st

Chapter 10

Celine suddenly grabbed a knife from the coffee table and stabbed Dustin's abdomen! Dustin was not able to dodge in time. He held his bleeding abdomen and said in disbelief, "You, you actually..."Celine laughed wildly and said, "Dustin, do you think you are innocent?"You could have saved her and your son, but you did not. You are a murderer too."Dustin pressed on his wound. His eyes went red after a moment of shock. He lowered his head. For the first time, I felt him go weak and fragile."Yes… I could have saved her. I was wrong..." he murmured.Celine was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and was sent to prison immediately.When Dustin came out of the intensive care unit several days later, everything had changed. My mother withdrew all the investment and help given to the White family. The White family went bankrupt overnight and was heavily in debt.At the same time, the geological exploration team where Dustin used to work fired him. Dustin lost his job.The in
