My daughter is dead, and my wife is on vacation abroad with my son. I called her to ask her to come back for our daughter’s funeral, but she flat-out refused. On the phone, she insulted our daughter, saying that something worthless like her dying was no big deal. After saying goodbye to my daughter for the last time, I jumped from the building. The police called my wife to come and identify my body. She was leaning against a man, saying, “Why didn’t you die sooner? You’re just giving me more trouble.” When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back before my daughter died. This time, I would send them both to hell! “Chris, Mommy is taking you to Europe. Are you happy?” Sarah asked as she packed her suitcase in the bedroom, and our son ran in. Chris, only six years old, nodded his head. I stood at the door, watching this warm scene, and couldn’t help but feel a deep anger boiling inside me. That’s right, I was reborn. After seeing my wife leave with another man, I returned to the time before my daughter’s death. “What are you doing?! Standing there like a ghost?” Sarah was startled when she saw me. I had been taking care of our daughter, Lily, at the hospital for so long that my dark circles were severe. So, it was no wonder she was scared. I smiled and suddenly thought, if I showed up while Sarah was with that man, she would probably faint from shock. “What’s so funny?” Sarah snapped. “You’re being creepy.” I put on a serious face and asked her, “Do you really have to take a vacation right now? The doctor said Lily doesn’t have much time left.” Sarah refused me. “If she’s dead, she’s dead. Going to the hospital won’t bring her back, will it?” She said the same thing in my previous life. I slapped her, and she immediately took Chris and ran away. I didn’t know where they went. The next evening, when I returned home, all her luggage was gone. Looking back now, she probably went to find that man. This time, I didn’t hit her; I just walked away silently. Chris ran after me, asking, “Dad, what’s wrong with Lily? I haven’t seen her in so long. I miss her.” I stroked Chris’s head. “Do you want to see your sister?” Chris nodded. I knew Lily and Chris had always had a good relationship. In my previous life, before Lily died, she kept asking why Chris didn’t come to see her. This time, I picked up Chris. “Daddy will take you to see your sister right now, okay?” Chris nodded obediently. As we reached the entrance, Sarah came rushing out. “You can’t take Chris!” I was putting shoes on Chris. “Why not? Lily is Chris’s sister, and he wants to see her. You, as his mother, don’t want to go, but why can’t he?” Sarah said, “There are so many viruses in the hospital. What if Chris gets sick?” “I’ll take full responsibility!” I declared, and then I carried Chris out the door. Sarah rushed over, trying to grab Chris from my arms. “I told you not to take Chris!” “Get away!” I shouted at her. After ten years of marriage, I had never raised my voice at Sarah before, and she froze in shock. I added, “The viruses in Europe aren’t any less than in the hospital.” With that, I took Chris to the hospital. Lily was still asleep. I could only take Chris to the door to look at her. Chris started crying and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong with Lily? She has so many tubes on her.” I comforted him, “She’s just sick, Chris. It’s okay. How about I record a video for you to talk to her? When she wakes up, I can show it to her. She misses you too.” Chris nodded repeatedly. After recording for over ten minutes, Chris cried himself to sleep in my arms. I took a strand of Chris’s hair, planning to get a paternity test. Sarah’s attitude toward Lily and Chris was completely opposite. I now seriously doubted that Chris was my biological son. If he were truly mine, Sarah would hate him. I felt guilty toward Lily because of me; she never got to see her mother before she died. Poor child, suffering because of the conflict between Sarah and me.
I took Chris home, grabbed some clothes, and prepared some food before returning to the hospital. In the living room, Sarah was checking Chris’s body as if she was afraid I would hurt him. I couldn’t help but say, “Sarah, Chris is my child too. I won’t hurt him. You may hate me, but there’s no need for this.” Sarah ignored me and shot me a glance. I was used to it as I grabbed my things and left the house. At the hospital, Lily was still unconscious. My heart ached for that little girl. God, why did I have to be reborn at this stage, watching my child suffer and die again? The doctor issued another critical condition notice. After several days, Lily finally woke up. “Dad, where are Mom and Chris?” she asked. I couldn’t bear to tell her the truth, so I said they were busy. Lily looked disappointed but bravely held back her tears. “Okay, when will they be done? Can you call them to come see me? I haven’t seen them in so long. I really miss Mom and Chris.” I couldn’t help but wipe my tears away and pulled out my phone. “Chris came to see you while you were sleeping, but he was very considerate and didn’t want to wake you. Here, look.” I showed her the video, and she smiled. But I only felt heartbroken. Luckily, Lily didn’t ask, “Where’s Mom?” I didn’t know how to answer that. Ultimately, Lily left me, and I arranged her funeral just like I did in my previous life. I then called Sarah on an international line. “Lily is gone. Bring Chris back for the funeral.” Sarah was indifferent. “She’s gone; it doesn’t matter. She was a burden anyway. Chris and I are having fun, can’t you just stop ruining it?” I couldn’t take it anymore. “Lily is also your daughter! Do you even realize what you’re saying as a mother? Don’t you have a heart?” Sarah got angry that I dared to yell at her. “David Lin, you really have some nerve! Don’t call me again; I don’t want to hear from you or Chris.” I ignored her and said, “Put Chris on the phone. I need to talk to him.” Sarah refused. “Don’t you dare tell my son such bad news; get lost!” She hung up on me. I called her several times, but she didn’t pick up. I guessed she had blocked me. I changed my number and called her again. “Sarah, if you come back tomorrow, we’ll get a divorce. Otherwise, you’ll never leave me; I’ll haunt you and never let you go.” Sarah hung up. I knew this time she would definitely come back. From the day I married her, Sarah wanted to divorce me. We met through a matchmaking service; she was a teacher, and I had started my own test-prep company. My parents were very satisfied with Sarah, thinking she was a rare good daughter-in-law. As we spent time together, we got closer, and eventually, we discussed marriage. I thought Sarah wanted to marry me; she seemed happy on our dates and smiled at our wedding. Even after marriage, as we grew more discordant and argued more frequently, I still thought it was my fault. Surely I had done something to upset her. Until the education budget cuts shut down my test-prep company, my income sharply declined. Sarah’s insults towards me increased; she called me a loser and said she regretted marrying me. I thought about divorce, but we had two children, and I wanted to provide them with a complete family. My parents also disagreed; they were convinced that there was no better woman than Sarah in the world. But only I knew what kind of person she was. I had hired a private investigator long ago to look into Sarah and that man. Sarah’s trip to Europe was with him.
When Sarah returned, she threw her suitcase on the floor with a loud thud. I looked up from the couch at the entrance. “You’re back?” “David Lin, stop pretending and acting all high and mighty,” Sarah said as she turned on the living room lights and walked over, sitting at a distance from me. She asked, “Where’s the divorce papers?” I looked at her, remaining silent. Sarah scoffed, “You’re not thinking of just going to the courthouse to get a divorce, are you? What about the assets? You really don’t want to give me a dime?” I also scoffed. She had the nerve to mention money when I had spent all of it on Lily’s medical bills. Oh right, and on Sarah’s vacation to Europe with that man. “All the money is gone,” I said flatly. Sarah got up and yelled at me, “You really are a loser!” I didn’t care and asked her, “Where’s Chris? You’re not leaving him alone in Europe, are you?” “Chris is somewhere else. I won’t let you see him; I can’t let him be influenced by you. What if he turns out like you, a loser?” I asked Sarah, “Am I a loser?” Sarah rolled her eyes at me. I continued, “After we got married, you said teaching was too exhausting, so I let you stay home as a full-time mom. But what have you done?” “I buy groceries, I cook, I clean with a robot vacuum, and I occasionally hire a cleaning service. What about you? You just go out and spend money.” “Who’s the loser here, you or me? Can’t you look in the mirror?” Sarah countered, “I didn’t realize you harbored so much resentment against me. But I’m the one raising the kids.” “Hahaha,” I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I laughed for a long time before I looked at her again and continued, “Lily was sick for a year. Did you ever take care of her? She’s dead now, and you wouldn’t even come back to see her unless I forced you with a divorce!” “Sarah, you have no heart.” Sarah hated me, and she hated Lily too. She simply said, “Stop talking nonsense; I came here to get a divorce.” I pulled out a document from behind me and threw it in front of her. When she saw the A4 paper, she quickly picked it up, but her expression turned pale when she read it. “What do you mean by this?” she questioned. I clapped my hands, as if to applaud her. “Who is Chris’s father?” Sarah fell silent; if Chris wasn’t my child, then she had cheated on me. Legally, she wouldn’t get a dime. Mark was waiting to divorce her so they could go abroad together. I watched her face turn pale and pressed her further, “Sarah, who were you cheating on me with?” “You think that if I show this to your parents and mine, they’ll just accept it?”
