All Chapters of One-Year Contract: Reviving Our Dead Son: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Serena Quinn's breath hitched, and a flicker of pain appeared in her eyes. "Do you still resent me? I just wanted you to apologize to Henry back then. I never actually meant to throw you into the ocean. Who knew you would jump in…"Jonas, it's been a year. Haven't I been patient enough with you? How much longer are you going to keep this up?"Jonas Black snorted. "Serena, don't give yourself too much credit. If you feel wronged and want someone to comfort you, go to Henry. Stop bothering me.""Jonas!" His indifference only fueled Serena's anger. "I risked my life to bring you back because I wanted us to live a good life together. But look at you now. You blow through money, spend all your time partying, and you don't even take care of Erica. Do you even remember that I'm your wife?"Jonas had actually wanted to be a good husband. To help Serena with her business, he drank until his stomach bled. But the profits from that deal couldn't even cover the cost of the high-end luxury watc

Jonas took off his blood-stained jacket and carefully gathered the ashes onto it. He wrapped them up and looked at Erica."He's your brother. How could you do this?""Well, he made Mr. Lane sick," Erica said nonchalantly. "He was annoying when he was alive. Even after he died, he was still causing trouble for others. He deserves it!"Jonas slapped her."Am I wrong?" Erica clutched her face. "Why did you come back? If you hadn't, Mr. Lane would be my dad!"Jonas raised his hand again, only to let it fall limply to his side.How could he have forgotten? Erica was just as cold-blooded as Serena.Jonas had stood by Serena as they built her business from the ground up. To raise the money she needed to get started, he had worked five jobs a day and slept only four hours a night. To secure projects for her, he had gone days without sleep.After years of pushing himself too hard, he had been diagnosed with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy not long after George was born. Every ti

Jonas changed into a cleaner's uniform and cleaned all the hospital toilets.Then Tim led his men to inspect his work. He used a disposable cup and scooped water from the toilet, then held it out to Jonas with a fake smile."Drink it to prove that you did a thorough job."Jonas frowned. "Have you been reading too many novels? If you want to drink it, go ahead!"Tim's expression darkened, and he gave his men a look. The male workers immediately stepped forward and pinned Jonas down.One of them asked hesitantly, "Mr. Hutton, i-is this really necessary? What if Ms. Quinn finds out?"Tim snapped, "If you don't want this job anymore, then leave! Can't you see that Dr. Lane will be the future owner of this hospital? Offend him, and you won't know what hit you!"With that, he forced Jonas' mouth open and poured the toilet water in.Jonas pushed them away and started coughing violently. Then he collapsed to the floor, retching repeatedly.Tim tossed the cup aside, looking disgusted,

Jonas wrapped his arms tightly around George's urn. "George, I'll be reuniting with you soon."The next day, he placed George's portrait in his grave and scattered his ashes into the sea.Afterward, he returned home. He had just started up the stairs when he bumped into Henry.Henry stood in his way, wearing nothing but a loosely tied bathrobe. He flashed Jonas a malicious grin. "What's it like being rejected by your wife and daughter? If I were you, I'd wish I had died a year ago instead of coming back to embarrass myself."Jonas stared at him coldly. "Henry, you only graduated from middle school. You only became an attending physician because you had connections through Serena and had her falsify your résumé. "A year ago, you did surgery on a patient without authorization, even though you had no medical experience at all, and ended up killing him."When the family demanded an explanation, Serena manipulated public opinion and made my father take the fall, accusing him of perfo

Serena and Erica widened their eyes in disbelief as the color drained from their faces."Jonas!" Serena let out a bloodcurdling scream. She lunged forward and desperately covered the horrifying gash on Jonas' neck as warm blood gushed through the gaps between her fingers.The bleeding wouldn't stop, no matter how hard she tried, and the sticky warmth made her body tremble.Serena lowered her head, her body shaking harder. "Jonas, please don't scare me. I was wrong. I'll do anything you want. Don't die. Don't leave me again…"Jonas opened his mouth, and thick streams of blood spilled from the corner, running down his chin and into his collar. He looked at the panicked woman above him, and a mocking smile appeared on his face."Serena… over the past year…" He struggled to catch his breath, his eyes full of disgust. With every word he uttered, more blood poured from his mouth. "Every time… I see your face… it repulses… me."Serena's pupils constricted as she froze for a moment. "Jon
