My husband’s parents, Oscar Cox and Maria Cox, died in a car accident. I immediately called my husband, Sam Cox, who works as a medical examiner. Sam was completely indifferent and said, “You know perfectly well that Susan hit two stray dogs and was traumatized. I’m comforting her right now, and you deliberately made up this lie about my parents being in a car accident to make me come home. My parents have always been so good to you, how can you be so ungrateful?” With that, Sam angrily hung up the phone. After the call ended, my heart was filled with unease and trepidation, and I decided to find him. However, I saw Sam holding his first love, Susan Morgan, gently comforting her: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.” It turned out that what Susan had hit weren’t stray dogs, but people. To help her escape legal consequences, Sam used his professional skills to destroy the evidence and dispose of the bodies. But he didn’t realize that the two bodies he destroyed were his own parents. After Sam hung up, I couldn’t reach him again, so I had to go to the hospital alone. Oscar and Maria had been killed instantly in the hit-and-run. Their bodies were now in the hospital morgue waiting for me to identify them. The moment I lifted the sheet, I collapsed in utter devastation. This didn’t look like a car accident at all! Oscar and Maria’s limbs had been severed with precise cuts, and all their internal organs had been removed. If not for the birthmark on Maria’s arm, I would never have believed these unrecognizable bodies were Oscar and Maria. “No!” I couldn’t accept the reality and let out a soul-crushing wail of agony. Just yesterday they were chatting and laughing with me, and now they were cold corpses. My breakdown moved the doctors around me to sympathy. They patted my shoulder and said gravely, “The victims were found by an ambulance on Blue Ridge Parkway. The bodies were already severely damaged when discovered, initially determined as death from a serious car accident. However, since the surveillance footage on that road was damaged, we can’t track down the perpetrator yet. I suggest you report this to the police immediately.” The doctor’s words still echoed in my ears as I stumbled out of the room, completely shattered and disoriented, covering my face as I cried. I had been married to Sam for ten years. Oscar and Maria knew I had lost both parents at a young age and had always treated me like family. They had given me their very best. Thinking about this, my heart ached so badly I felt numb. I instinctively tried calling Sam again, but he hung up once more. As I wandered helplessly in the hallway, I heard voices coming from a hospital room. My attention was drawn there. To my shock, the next second, I stared in disbelief at that room. “Susan, don’t worry. You just hit some small animals, that’s all. I’ll take care of it. Later, I’ll take you to my mother’s birthday party.” Sam was holding Susan tightly, speaking tenderly, with undisguised affection in his eyes. She was curled up in his arms, trembling and crying. “Sam, I’m so scared. Please stay with me, okay? Maria doesn’t like me. You’re all I have…” Standing outside the door, my mind was in chaos. Oscar and Maria had died so tragically, yet he was still on a date. I kicked open the door and, before Sam and Susan could react, slapped her several times across the face. “Skylar! Have you lost your mind?” Sam forcefully pushed me away, holding Susan protectively in his arms. I was so furious I could barely see straight, my head spinning with rage as I pointed at the door. “Your parents are dead! And you still have the heart to be here dating. You’re a complete bastard!”
Sam completely ignored what I said and kept pressing the call button on the hospital bed. “Skylar, stop acting crazy! My parents have been so good to you, and here you are cursing them! Now you’ve even hurt Susan. If you keep making these unreasonable scenes, I’ll divorce you!” I was so angry I couldn’t speak for a moment. Just as I was about to open my mouth, the doctor walked in and interrupted me. Sam put his arm around Susan and anxiously said, “Doctor, she hit some stray dogs on Blue Ridge Parkway and got scared. She already has depression. Will her condition get worse now?” When I heard “Blue Ridge Parkway,” I suddenly looked up at Sam and asked, “You’ve been to Blue Ridge Parkway?” Sam frowned, his eyes full of impatience. “What are you trying to do now? Susan isn’t feeling well, and I don’t want to deal with you!” I ignored whatever Sam was saying and lunged forward, grabbing Susan’s shoulders. “Was it you who killed someone on Blue Ridge Parkway?” Her face instantly turned pale. Sam yanked my sleeve and forcefully pushed me against the wall, shouting, “Skylar, this is a hospital! Stop acting crazy! Even if Susan hit someone, it would have been an accident. Besides, she only hit some stray dogs. Accusing her without evidence is defamation.” I stared blankly at this man I’d lived with for ten years, feeling like he was a complete stranger. With trembling hands, I pulled out the death certificates I’d obtained and said, “I have proof right here.” Sam grabbed the death certificates and tore them to pieces. “Stop playing these games. Skylar, can’t you survive without a man? Don’t try to get my attention with these tactics.” I called in the doctor who had identified the bodies with me to testify. “Sam, I’m not lying to you. Oscar and Maria are really dead!” Sam glared at me angrily and said, “Susan is traumatized. Stop making a scene.” Our commotion had drawn quite a crowd. Susan kept crying, looking pitiful. She said, “Skylar, I know you’ve always misunderstood me. But Sam and I are just good friends. He’s only angry because he’s worried about me. Please calm down and let me rest.” The people around us, not knowing the truth, began criticizing me for being malicious. The doctor who was testifying for me said, “Mr. Cox, since you’re the son of the deceased, you should report this to the police immediately.” “No!” Sam’s face turned red with anger. “Where’s your hospital director? You have no professional ethics! Why are you spreading rumors about my parents? I’ll sue you all!” After his threats, he stepped on the torn death certificates and prepared to leave with Susan. Just as I was about to chase after them, I received the latest update from the Police Department. They showed me the surveillance footage from Blue Ridge Parkway. The images were very blurry due to damage, but I immediately recognized Susan, and Sam. So Sam knew from the beginning that Susan had killed people, not stray dogs! Sam was a forensic pathologist, and the wounds on Oscar and Maria’s bodies were extremely precise—something only someone with professional knowledge could achieve. I felt a chill run through my body, and my gaze toward Sam filled with terror.
I rushed forward, blocking their way, and grabbed Susan by the collar while looking at Sam. “The people she killed were Oscar and Maria, right on Blue Ridge Parkway. Sam, do you still want to protect her?” At that moment, I didn’t care about my dignity; I was just heartbroken for Oscar and Maria. I held up my phone with the surveillance footage, trying to show it to Sam, but he pushed me away. “Skylar, do you have to make a big scene out of this? Let’s get divorced right now! Marrying you was the worst mistake of my life,” he said. I never imagined Sam would go this far for Susan—helping her cover up the truth, possibly even destroying evidence, and now wanting to divorce me. I felt an overwhelming wave of grief. I should never have married such a man. Seeing that I had fallen silent, Sam scoffed, “If you weren’t acting crazy, I wouldn’t be asking for a divorce. Susan and I are just friends. Your thoughts are disgusting. Call Mom and tell her I’ll throw Susan a makeup birthday party once she’s feeling better.” I laughed coldly, unwilling to argue with him anymore. “Maria is already dead. You don’t need to celebrate her birthday anymore.” My ashen face seemed to disgust Sam. He waved his hand dismissively and announced loudly in front of everyone, “Fine, since you claim my parents are dead, take me to see their bodies. If you’re lying, I will never forgive you!” Sam was convinced I was lying. After all, in his eyes, I had always been narrow-minded, nothing compared to Susan. Just a week ago, I had found love letters he’d written to Susan in his desk drawer. We had a huge fight about it. Sam followed the doctor to the morgue. I trailed behind him, closing my eyes, unable to bear remembering Oscar and Maria’s tragic state. I wondered if Sam would lose his mind when he realized he had been trying to destroy his own parents’ bodies. Just as Sam was about to open the body bag, Susan suddenly started retching beside him. “Sam, I’m scared. There are so many dead people here…” she said. Sam patted her back with concern. “Susan, don’t be afraid. This will be over soon.” He lifted the body bag, glanced casually at the body, and then turned away with disgust. “This isn’t my parents at all,” he said. My heart was racing. Oscar and Maria’s bodies had been destroyed by Sam’s own hands—how could he not recognize them? “Sam! These are Oscar and Maria! Have you abandoned all human decency for Susan?” “I’ve seen the bodies. I would recognize my own parents. Skylar, stop making a scene!” Sam’s voice was ice-cold, freezing the blood in my veins. I realized he must truly love Susan to lie in front of his own parents’ bodies. I laughed bitterly, my body trembling uncontrollably. “I’ve already called the police. This is the surveillance footage they sent me.” I showed him the video he had refused to look at earlier, holding it right in front of his face. It clearly showed him and Susan, even matching the model of the car. Sam, who had been about to explode in anger, froze the moment he saw the video.
