Six years after my death, my wife wants me to donate my heart to her first love. To force me to show up, she broke my father’s legs, falsely accused my mother of theft, causing her to lose her job, and even threatened to disfigure my sister’s face, which closely resembles mine, with a bottle of acid. Just as she was waiting for me to beg her on my knees and cooperate with the surgery, the doctor who had once operated on me found her with my medical records: “Mr. Collins only had one heart, and he had already donated it to you six years ago.” 0 In the midst of heavy snowfall, Mia Young stared emotionlessly at the man writhing and begging on the ground. The continuously flowing blood reflected a cold gleam in her eyes: “Considering our past relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if you tell me Jack’s whereabouts right now, I’ll let you go. How about that?” Her attitude was arrogant, the contempt in her eyes evident. It was as if she had completely forgotten that the person lying on the ground was once someone who had treated her like his own daughter. Instead, he was now just a piece of garbage that could be discarded at will. “Jack, he… he can’t come… Mia, please spare me…” “What do you mean he can’t come! Isn’t he just too cowardly to show up because he’s afraid I’ll take revenge for what happened back then?” Faced with her father-in-law’s refusal, Mia’s anger was instantly ignited. She recounted the past events to her father-in-law with a face full of hatred, each word filled with resentment towards me: “If it weren’t for Jack’s interference, impersonating someone else and taking credit that didn’t belong to him, how could Ethan and I have missed each other for so long!” “It was Ethan who persuaded me not to seek revenge, allowing you to live peacefully for so many years!” “Now, having your lying son donate his heart to Ethan is an honor for him! What right does he have not to come!” I could see that when my father heard about those past events again, his cloudy eyes immediately darkened further, his tone full of vicissitudes and pain: “It’s not like that, Mia. Back then…” “How was it back then? First Jack lied to me for so many years, and now it’s your turn as his father to start lying? Your family is truly a lineage of liars!” “Fine, since you two have such a strong father-son bond and you insist on covering for him, I have no reason to show mercy.” “You guys, break his legs. I don’t believe Jack won’t show up when his father’s legs are broken!” Mia’s expression turned vicious for a moment, and with a wave of her hand, more bodyguards stepped forward. The sound of blunt objects striking flesh echoed loudly, with my father’s agonized screams hidden in between. But Mia had a smile on her face, without a hint of heartache or hesitation. Seeing my father’s life in danger, I was anxious and rushed forward quickly to shield him from those erratically falling clubs. But in reality, as soon as I lunged forward, I passed right through my father’s body. It was then that I slowly remembered, I was already dead, dead for six years. My remaining soul couldn’t save any bit of my thoughts. I collapsed in tears, but could only watch helplessly as my father’s legs were beaten to a pulp. Large patches of red stained the snow-covered ground warm. Mia covered her nose and stepped back in disgust: “Tell Jack, this is the consequence of going against me.” “As long as he refuses to agree to donate his heart to Ethan for one day, I won’t let you off for one day.” “When the time comes, we’ll settle both old and new grudges together!” Mia angrily left with a flip of her hair. I felt like I could still smell the familiar jasmine fragrance in her hair as she turned away. It was still the familiar feeling from before, but I knew very well— She was no longer the wife who loved me most, who would travel across half of China overnight just to celebrate my birthday. Now, she was a devil who could disregard human life for Ethan White! 0
Since my father was hospitalized, Mia had arranged countless people to secretly guard outside the ward, ready to capture my whereabouts at any moment. However, as several days passed, apart from my tearful mother, there was no sign of anyone else. She lost all patience and stormed into my father’s hospital room, accidentally encountering the doctor who was doing a follow-up check on my father. She wouldn’t remember him, but the doctor found her very familiar. He couldn’t help but take an extra look before hurriedly leaving, leaving only my parents to bear Mia’s provocation and mockery: “Jack really has some nerve. Even with his father injured so severely, he still manages to resist coming.” “It seems that just breaking one leg isn’t enough to threaten him. I guess I’ll have to add his mother to the mix as well.” My mother had long known about Mia’s actions from my father’s words, but she still couldn’t believe that the once innocent girl would do such things. She reached out her hand, trembling as she took two steps forward to try and pull Mia, but was instead slapped to the ground: “Stay away from me! Who do you think you are to dare touch me?!” My mother, already elderly, sat on the ground for a long time unable to get up after being hit like this, causing my father to cry in distress. As a result, due to being too agitated, he also fell straight off the bed. The wounds on his legs, not yet healed, burst open again, a truly heart-wrenching sight. Not only did Mia not react, but she raised her voice and laughed mockingly: “Oh, how touching. If I don’t do something to her, wouldn’t it be a disservice to you two showing such devotion in adversity?” “Mia! How could you become like this… You used to be such a good and filial child!” “Shut up! You all conspired with Jack to deceive me for so many years, and you still have the nerve to bring up the past?!” My mother’s words clearly reminded Mia of the truth about how I had deceived her years ago. Burning with rage, she took out her phone and in a few words pushed our whole family into an even darker abyss: “I heard you’re working as a cleaner now. I don’t think anyone would want someone with sticky fingers in their home.” Before my mother could understand what she meant, Mia had already made a call to my mother’s company. Using her money and influence, she embellished the story and falsely accused my mother of stealing valuable items from her employers while working, claiming she had major character issues. She even demanded that the entire industry blacklist my mother and never hire her again. I trembled with anger. She knew my father’s legs were broken and only my mother was left to shoulder all the burdens of the family. This was cutting off the lifeline of our entire family! Almost at the same time, my mother received her dismissal notice. She was in complete shock, crawling on her knees to Mia’s feet, begging her to give back her job: “Mia, please, I can’t lose this job!” “His father’s legs haven’t recovered yet, and I still have a daughter to raise. Please, have mercy, Mom is begging you!” My mother wept bitterly, no longer caring about dignity or face, prostrating herself at Mia’s feet and kowtowing desperately. Not to mention my father, even I felt my heart being cut to pieces on the side, only regretting that I couldn’t help at all now, not even able to pull her up! I thought my mother’s humble attitude would at least make Mia show a little bit of emotion. But she didn’t. Instead, her smile became even more smug and arrogant than before: “Jack should really see how miserable you all look now, to know this is the price of deceiving me!” “However… if you want me to let you off, it’s not impossible.” “Have Jack come before me in person to kowtow and admit his guilt, acknowledge his mistakes from back then, and agree to donate his heart to Ethan. Everything else is non-negotiable!” Mia’s resolute words made my mother’s face instantly turn ashen. Her lips were pale, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She struggled to tell the truth about what happened years ago, but Mia didn’t give her the chance. That trembling voice was drowned out by the sound of the door slamming shut. She didn’t hear those words: Jack was already dead, dead for six years. 0
After leaving the hospital room, Mia didn’t leave immediately but took the elevator upstairs. The high-end, quiet VIP ward was the service she had specially arranged for Ethan White. “Ethan? How are you feeling? Are you any better today?” Before the door was fully closed, Mia rushed impatiently to Ethan’s side to check on him. Looking at their tightly clasped hands, I suddenly felt a bit dazed. It seemed that many years ago, someone had held my hand like this too. We promised each other eternal love and never to betray. But now, that person was holding someone else’s hand, caring for them. “I’m okay… Jack, he hasn’t been found yet, has he?” “Mia, let’s… let it go… Maybe I was never meant to exist in this world. Being able to be with you for so many years, I have no regrets even if I die…” “What nonsense are you talking about!” Noticing the disappointment in Ethan’s tone, Mia’s eyes immediately reddened, not allowing him to continue: “Jack wasted so many years for us. I finally found you, and I absolutely won’t allow anything to happen!” “Don’t worry, I’ll leave no stone unturned to dig him out. If his parents aren’t enough, there’s still his sister. I don’t believe he can be so heartless as to not show his face even once!” Ethan’s eyes seemed to dodge, his mouth stammering as if wanting to say something, but was forced back by her intensity. Seeing Mia’s cold gaze, I felt a chill. No one knew that I now wanted to appear before her more than anyone else. I would willingly exchange everything I had for my family’s safety! But now, I was just a soul, a useless soul. I knew Mia always did what she said, but I didn’t expect her opportunity would come so quickly. The news of my parents being seriously injured and losing their job was deliberately spread to my sister within half a day. Emma rushed back home almost overnight, heading to the hospital without even eating. As soon as she entered, she saw our parents’ worried faces. Because of the high cost of my father’s treatment, the family’s savings had long been depleted, and my mother had no choice but to sell the house. To save money, they only let my father stay in a bed, while my mother slept alone in the hospital corridor. Although our family wasn’t wealthy before, they had never shortchanged Emma. Especially after I passed away, all the good things were left for the little girl. When had she ever seen the family in such a desperate state? Emma, young and impulsive, ignored our parents’ attempts to stop her and rushed out to confront Mia. However, just as she left the room, she was abducted. The person who took her was none other than Mia, whom she was looking for. Emma couldn’t break the habit of many years and just as she was about to call out “Mrs. Collins,” she was slapped by the woman in front of her: “Don’t try to claim any relationship! Your family is truly shameless!” “…Mia Young! We haven’t done anything to wrong you, why are you so ruthlessly trying to destroy us! How can you face my brother doing this!” “Your brother?” Mia seemed to have suddenly heard a joke, her laughter becoming increasingly shrill and unrestrained: “You don’t know yet, do you? Everything happened because of him. If Jack had shown up early and agreed to donate his heart to Ethan, why would I have to go to such extremes?” Emma was stunned by these words, the pain in her eyes instantly visible: “But, but my brother has been dead for a long time… How can a dead person appear!” The air in the room froze for a moment, falling into an eerie silence. Mia frowned, but quickly convinced herself, stepping forward to deliver two more slaps: “Is lying a family tradition for you? To help Jack hide from me, you really can say anything!” She glared fiercely at Emma, her eyes unprecedentedly switching between resentment and gentleness. But in the end, it settled on the former. “You really look like your brother, both equally… disgusting, making people annoyed even with just a glance.” Although the abandoned laboratory in the hospital had been unused for years, it was still fully equipped. Mia expressionlessly brought a bottle of clear liquid and tossed her phone to Emma: “Call your brother and tell him to show up within half an hour. Otherwise… you can say goodbye to that face of yours!” “I’ve told you, my brother is already dead! What do I have to do to make you believe it!”
