I Died, And He Regrets It のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Lamont Steward rushed into the hospital clutching an unconscious Lena Hayes. He was soaked to the bone and on the verge of collapse. “She was critically injured in the earthquake! Quick! Get her into surgery now!” He stumbled from department to department and knocked on doors to find a doctor. He even kneeled before them. The grown man wept pitifully and desperately pleaded in utter humility. Everyone present sighed in sympathy. Their hearts went out for Lena—the woman in his arms. Doctors and nurses rushed Lena into the operating room. Lamont stood outside the door. His face was etched with worry and anxiety, as he muttered prayers to the gods to save her.Usually cool and composed, he took off the rosary he had worn for nearly thirty years and clutched it tightly, hoping his first love could be saved.Had the nurses not held him back, he would have pressed himself against the operating room door to watch the surgery. The light outside the operating room had barely fli

Lamont pulled out his phone to buy the tickets. When he unlocked it, there were dozens of missed calls. They were from me. Lamont frowned, grumbled, and showed the phone to Lena.“And you were so worried about her!“Look at this! She’s got plenty of time to call me! Calling this many times in one night? I’m impressed!“Good thing I turned my phone off last night. Otherwise, she’d have driven me crazy!”Lena checked the screen and smiled sheepishly.“The call log shows that Serena didn’t call after 5 a.m. She must’ve been rescued. Should we call to check in on her?”“Definitely!“You know what? She’s probably already snoring away in the hotel!“She can’t even send a text to say she’s safe. She’s an adult, yet she doesn’t know her manners!”Lamont rolled his eyes and dialed her number.After ringing over a dozen times, the call disconnected automatically.“How dare she not answer?”Lamont grumbled, but his expression betrayed a hint of panic.“Forget it. Let’s call the h

She knelt before Lamont as tears streamed down her face. “It’s my fault, Lamont!” Startled, Lamont scrambled to help her up. “Get up, Lena! What nonsense are you sprouting?” Lena stubbornly shook her head. “It was me! I was holding Serena’s hand then. She could have dodged it. I was so scared that I held onto her tighter! “I dragged Serena into this. If not for me… if not for me…” Tears streamed down Lena’s face as she raised her hand and slapped herself across the face. “It’s all my fault. I dragged Serena into this! “I’ll make it up to her, Lamont!” After that, she stood up, grabbed a rebar from the roadside, and raised it as if to stab herself with it. “Enough!” Lamont’s eyes blazed with fury as he snatched the rebar from Lena’s hands. “What are you doing? No matter what, you can’t hurt yourself!” Lena cried and threw herself recklessly into his arms. Lamont hesitated as he watched Lena cry. He was on the verge of breaking down himself, but he still pu

As the forensic scalpel sliced open my bloated abdomen, Lena was nestled in Lamont’s arms. Her fingers interlaced tightly with his, and she held the rosary in the same hand.How laughable!I watched it all with a cold detachment.The next day, the truth would be revealed. My conscience was clear.I could guarantee this child was Lamont’s.Those photos were certainly planted to frame me!I watched Lamont with a cold smile.I wondered if he would regret it once he learned the truth!Early the next morning, Lamont was jolted awake by urgent knocking.It was the coroner delivering the autopsy report.A trace of reluctance and disgust flashed in Lamont’s eyes.At Lena’s urging, he had already thrown out every single thing I had left in the room.He had already decided I was a filthy, wanton woman. My death was entirely my own fault. It was divine punishment!“Mr. Steward, the autopsy results are in. Please take a look.”The coroner handed over the report.“What a pity about y

Lamont glared at him.The client continued, “This is all part of Lena’s schemes!“She was already pregnant when she slept with me. She had her eyes on Serena’s fortune. She was planning to kill her and then…”Lena shrieked and lunged forward. She wrestled violently with the client.He kicked her hard and sent her crashing to the floor.“The autopsy report is out, isn’t it?“Lena murdered Serena! She deliberately dragged Serena down to take the fall!”The air fell deathly silent.Lamont slowly raised his head. He stared at Lena as if she were a stranger.His fists clenched and unclenched. Finally, unable to contain himself, he punched Lena across the face.“You killed my wife! I’ll kill you!”Police rushed forward to restrain him. But Lamont, his eyes bloodshot with rage, landed several vicious punches on Lena.Lena went to prison.Lamont packed his bags and returned to our home.The police handed him my phone.There were photos in my phone of the room I had meticulously
