The Wife I Buried Was Still Alive のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Even if Candice Jenkins is really dead, there should at least be a body. There's nothing at all. Are you really going to stop looking for her?"I clenched my phone so tightly my fingers hurt, but for a long time, I said nothing.At the same time, angry voices drifted out from the private room behind the door."Faking your own death is one thing, but you could've at least left your sister's body behind. At least then Jon Cole would've given up.""He's practically gone insane searching for her everywhere. It's honestly pitiful to watch."Candice lounged lazily against the sofa, her expression unreadable."I was afraid Austin Ryles would be too upset, so I had my sister's body cremated right away. If Jon wants to keep searching, let him.""After what his family did to force me into submission back then, this is the least they deserve. Think of it as payback."Bitterness flashed through her eyes.She had never forgiven my mother for drugging her in a moment of desperation, unable

I ignored the fact that she was in such a panic. Keeping my tone casual, I said, "Your sister's gone. My family arranged a blind date for me. A widower remarrying is perfectly normal, isn't it?"…Candice's expression darkened immediately."No!"Maybe she realized her reaction had been too intense, because a second later she forced herself to lower her voice."I mean… my sister's only been missing for less than a year. You can't remarry this quickly."I'm her biological sister, and you're my brother-in-law. You and my sister were so in love when she was alive. How can you change your heart so fast? I can't just watch you leave the Jenkins family."And what if... I mean, what if one day my sister comes back? They still haven't found her body. She might not even be dead…"Watching how nervous she looked honestly confused me a little.She clearly hated me. Could barely stand me. So why was she trying so hard to stop me from remarrying?When she saw me continue flipping through t

With a loud clatter, Candice dropped her phone onto the floor.The color drained from her face as she stood there frozen, muttering to herself in disbelief."How is that possible…? How could my account suddenly be deregistered…?"Only after several seconds did she snap back to reality. She hurriedly picked up the phone and shouted frantically into it:"Did you make a mistake? No one knows I faked my death and took my sister's identity except you. How could someone have my records erased?!"The person on the other end hesitated before answering carefully."Could someone have overheard us before? Maybe… Jon?"Candice froze.Had Jon really discovered the truth already?Then why was he suddenly marrying someone else?Was it because he knew everything… or because he had completely given up on her?Questions flooded her mind one after another, pushing her anxiety to the brink.Meanwhile, Mrs. Jenkins stood nearby, completely confused by the conversation."What are you talking ab

Ever since the day they got married, Jon had dreamed of having a child of their own with her.And now, their child was calling Austin 'Dad.'How devastated must he have been back then?Maybe that was why, in a fit of heartbreak and anger, he chose to have the kidney removed completely.If she had known Jon was injured in the accident, she never would have staged something like this in the first place.Suddenly, Candice remembered the day she gave birth. Jon had come to the hospital too, but he had seemed unusually quiet and withdrawn.Maybe that was the very day he made the decision to remove his kidney.And yet she noticed nothing. She had even happily talked in front of him about the joy and happiness of becoming a mother...By the time the thought fully hit her, tears were already streaming uncontrollably down Candice's face."Mom, I really didn't know he was hurt..."Please, just let me speak to him, okay? I know he still loves me. He only decided to marry someone else in

"I already told you, you're not Candice. What happened to me has nothing to do with you."You don't owe me an apology."I had barely taken a step when she desperately grabbed onto my ankle and looked up at me."I know you still care about me. Deep down, you've always wanted me to tell you the truth myself and go back to how things used to be, haven't you?"I looked down at her, almost speechless from disbelief, then let out a dry laugh."You've completely lost your mind."After saying that, I signaled to the bodyguards with my eyes. Only then did I finally manage to get away.Ignoring Candice's hysterical screaming behind me, I followed Wendy into the car.On the drive home, I leaned wearily against the window.Yet when I thought back to the moment I saw Candice earlier, I realized my heart had felt absolutely nothing.No anger. No heartbreak.The only thing I felt was disgust at the sight of her begging so desperately. It all seemed unbearably fake.By the time we returned
