Semua Bab I wish it were you: Bab 1521 - Bab 1530

“Come with me. We also need help identifying the deceased,” the traffic officer said, glancing at her again. “But please try to control your emotions and avoid disturbing the scene.”Lena wiped her tears and nodded solemnly.She followed the officer and walked over to Anthony.Lena knelt down beside the covered body, her knees touching the ground. Her trembling fingers slowly lifted the white sheet.As the deceased's face gradually came into view, Lena froze in confusion.Long hair, beautiful eyes slightly open, long lashes still seeming to flutter, and a pale V-shaped face spattered with blood…It was clearly a woman.Lena looked at the traffic officer beside her. “Is this the only fatality?”He nodded and explained that this was the owner of the sedan. Everyone else involved was a passenger on the bus, with minor or serious injuries, and they had already been taken to the hospital.Now Lena understood why the officer looked so surprised and curious when she said earlier that she was

Mrs. Zamora said, “If it weren’t for me constantly telling you that you have to repay kindness, you wouldn’t have felt so much pressure when being with Julissa. You two would’ve had a proper relationship, maybe even gotten married. But because of me... I’ve never given you anything in all these years, and in the end, I even cost you your happiness. When I get to the other side, how am I supposed to explain this to your father?”As she spoke, Mrs. Zamora began to cry again. Her sobs turned into a coughing fit, and her voice sounded weak and frail. It tugged at Julissa’s heart.Now Julissa finally understood what Liam had meant—Mrs. Zamora had become stuck in her own guilt. She blamed herself for her son’s failed relationship, and it had become a mental burden she couldn’t shake.Julissa wondered how she could comfort her. What angle should she take?But the more she thought about it, the more she realized that as the person involved, no matter what she said, Mrs. Zamora would probably

Scott walked into the adjacent assistant's office.Julissa hadn't closed the blinds, so the situation inside was clearly visible.At the moment, Julissa looked just like a senior high school student preparing for college entrance exams.Watching her buried in her work, Scott felt both frustrated and heartbroken. Did she really have to be scolded before she’d get serious?If she had just come back earlier in the afternoon, none of this would’ve happened.He pushed open the door to her office…Without even looking up, Julissa said, “Mr. Nichols, please give me a moment. I still have a few emails to send.”“How did you know it was me?”Her fingers paused on the keyboard. She looked up at him with a dazed expression. “You’re the only one who doesn’t knock before entering.”“…”Scott walked up to her, glanced at her computer screen, and said, “Alright, let’s go home. You can pick it up tomorrow.”But Julissa earnestly pleaded, “Mr. Nichols, please don’t give up on me. I swear I can finish

When Scott heard Julissa’s question, he noticed the sparkle in her eyes.He suddenly realized—sometimes women do enjoy watching their man get jealous.“If some other woman asked me to marry her, would you be upset?” Scott asked.Julissa nodded vigorously.“So if you fake-married another man, I wouldn’t be able to accept it either.”Julissa pressed her lips together in a small smile. “You were so generous before. You even encouraged me to go take care of Mrs. Zamora at the hospital. I thought you didn’t mind at all.”“Well, it depends on what the matter is,” Scott paused. “By the way, what’s in that box?”Julissa told him it was a wedding dress Mrs. Zamora had made for her, and she wanted her to try it on tonight, take a photo, and show her tomorrow.Scott narrowed his eyes slightly—even the dress is ready… this whole fake marriage thing is starting to look pretty real.He thought for a couple seconds but didn’t say anything more. Instead, he called the waiter and ordered a bottle of r

After leaving a hundred thousand behind, the man disappeared completely from the sister’s life.In order to find her former lover, she frequented nightclubs and bars, hoping to come across him again. Heaven rewards the diligent—eventually, she did find her old flame, but it wasn’t the duck she had once loved—it was her ex-husband.She found out that after their divorce, her ex-husband drank himself into oblivion night after night, drowning in regret.When they reunited, he was drunk, swaying as he looked at her, mistaking her for a “princess.” He said, “I want you tonight, you know why? Because you look like my wife—or rather, my ex-wife...”They ended up at a hotel, and after a wild night, both of them were stunned the next morning.As she was about to leave, the ex-husband knelt by the bed, begging for forgiveness, pleading to get back together.Now, people say that cheating once is already too much—there’s no such thing as only once—but every family has its struggles, and every per
