"What are you waiting for? It's time for some ravioli!" Katy said.Lily and I watched Katy in a daze as she plated the ravioli, steam rising from them and filling the living room."Who… Who are you?" Lily mustered up the courage to ask."I'm Justin's wife. Honey, tell her." Katy looked at me innocently. I nodded slowly. "Yes… She's my wife." I had no idea where this woman had come from. All I could do was give Lily a look, silently signaling her to stay calm."Go on. Try this. I made your favorite cheese ravioli." Katy smiled and pushed a plate of ravioli toward me. As I took it from her, I worked up the nerve to touch her hand. It was warm.So she wasn't a ghost?My thoughts were all over the place. I picked up a ravioli but didn't dare take a bite."What's up, honey? Is it because I didn't make them right? Or are you not happy to see me?" Katy looked at me, tears in her eyes. I couldn't help but stammer. "I… I'm happy to see you, but are you supposed… to be dead?""Wh

The police officer flipped through his notes from earlier before looking up at me. "But you kept saying earlier that your wife, Katy Dugan, had died of ALS."Next to me, Matthew let out a scoff. "Justin's lying. ALS? Falling off a mountain? He made it all up!""I want a divorce!"Lily, who had remained silent all this time, finally couldn't take it anymore. Furious, she kept demanding a divorce. No matter how much I begged her, she wouldn't calm down. "Lily, you know me well. We're colleagues, remember! I took care of her for five years after she was diagnosed with ALS…"It was even on the news. Don't you remember? She really did die from ALS!""I don't know how you managed to have us all fooled!" Lily cut me off. "I heard about you at the office and thought you were a devoted husband. You stayed with your wife even after she was diagnosed with a terminal illness."That's why I agreed to marry you when you started pursuing me. I never imagined… this whole thing was just a lie!"

Katy and Matthew stood on either side of me. Seeing that I was awake, they looked at me at the same time, wearing the exact same smile. "Honey, you're awake." Katy's voice was as soft as a whisper. "Even in your sleep, you kept saying you wanted to come here to pray. We had no choice but to bring you up in a wheelchair."It was only then that I suddenly realized I was in a wheelchair, bundled up in a thick blanket. "To pray? What for?" I couldn't figure out what was going on."To pray for our child who passed away." Katy looked toward the valley in the distance. "I hope our child will rest in peace."I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and a chill ran up my spine. "Our child? What child?""Justin, do you really not remember?" Matthew crouched down to meet my gaze."The last time we came up to Lullaby Mountain to pray, Katy was already pregnant."That was impossible!Goosebumps broke out all over my body, and memories came rushing back all at once. After Katy was d

"After that, the things you saw, heard, and even held in your arms… They were all just part of an act we put on for you," Katy continued, her voice as gentle as ever. "The doctors' announcement that they couldn't save me, my body, my urn, my gravestone… It was all fake.""We staged the entire show just for you. Do you like it?" She smiled. "The real me had been receiving treatment this whole time. I had the best specialists from abroad, the best medicine, and… time."Matthew unclenched his fists, but his voice grew colder. "And you, Justin? You moved on pretty quickly, didn't you?"It hadn't even been six months since the funeral, and you already started pursuing your colleague, huh?"Katy looked into the distance. "On your wedding day, I was in a wheelchair on the second floor of the cafe opposite your hotel. Matthew brought me there."She turned to look at me, and a chill ran through me. I never thought I would ever see those eyes again. "I saw you in your suit. You looked so
