Chapter 1
Rebecca Stone, my bestie, held my hand and comforted me when she found me in the hospital.
After a pause, I looked around and realized that I was reborn.
I was reborn and back to the day when Lucius Holmes, my husband, had a heart attack and died.
During my previous life, Lucius and I worked hard to earn money to afford a big house. I worked full-time during the day and part-time in a hotel at night. I was already exhausted and weak from it.
My husband’s sudden death filled me with exhaustion. I fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
However, Lilian Newt, my mother-in-law, kept my illness from my parents and forcefully took me home from the hospital. She denied me treatment so that I would die.
When I was about to die, I saw my husband on the news on TV. He was full of smiles because he won a lottery ticket worth 300 million dollars.
Rebecca was standing beside him.
I stopped thinking about the past and watched Rebecca’s fake concern. Then, I sneered.
Presumably, she had learned about Lucius winning the lottery. They plotted to fake his death and get away with the money as a couple.
“Cheer up, Summer! You’re already weak. I can’t watch anything happen to you because of Lucius’s passing!”
I gently broke out of Rebecca’s disgusting grip and said calmly, “Where is Lucius’s body? I want to see him.”
Rebecca was stunned, as if she did not expect such calmness from me.
“He’s in the morgue.”
I took the elevator to the morgue in the second sub-basement of the hospital.
The doctor dragged Lucius’s body out of a mortuary cabinet.
Rebecca tried to stop me before I lifted the layer of white cloth over him. She claimed that I might not be able to take it.
But I pushed her away and lifted the cloth. He looked at peace as he lay there quietly with his eyes closed.
He was unresponsive regardless of how I shook or hit him. He must have used some tricks to do so.
I took out my phone to call a funeral home.
“Hello, my husband is dead. I want to send his body over for cremation right away.”
Rebecca panicked when she heard that. She hurriedly snatched my phone away. “No. Isn’t it too early for that?”
