My Husband
Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I died on the cold hospital bed.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting its warmth onto the sheets.

Though the sunlight was close at hand, I couldn’t grasp its fleeting warmth, no matter how hard I tried.

Sloane clasped my bony hand, struggling to replace words.

But my life was slipping away like sand through an hourglass.

“I’m sorry…I won’t be able to stay with you

I couldn’t bear leaving this world!

I couldn’t bear leaving my daughter, born after ten months of carrying her.

I couldn’t bear leaving Sloane, who had grown up alongside me since childhood!

If only my heart hadn’t been taken by my husband to please his first love, I wouldn’t have

to die.

I still remember the words my husband said to me on the day he signed the papers.

“The heart will be available later, but let’s give this one to Sylvia for now.

“Even though she said this wasn’t right, you

understand, don’t you? After all, Sylvia is so gravely ill!”

In front of me, he signed the voluntary waiver, giving the heart that was supposed to be mine to his first love.

A metallic taste of blood filled my throat.

A wave of sorrow surged in my heart, suffocating me.

You only knew Sylvia Clark was gravely ill, but never considered that your wife would die from losing this heart.

That heart was mine!

What gave you the right to give it to someone

else?

After losing that heart, I endured another full

week.

My condition worsened steadily.

Yet during that time, my husband never visited

me once.

My vision gradually blurred, relying solely on instinct to sense the figures before me, one large and one smalt.

Summoning my last bit of strength, I placed my daughter’s hand in Sloane’s palm.

I had so much left to say.

But words failed me, tears flowing uncontrollably.

Sloane knelt by my bed, sobbing openly, while my daughter cried beside her.

Nora was still so young, needing mother’s care, yet she grew up quickly to care for me.

I’m sorry, daughter. I didn’t fulfill my duties as a mother.

I entered this world alone, only to close my eyes with bitterness toward my husband.

Sloane took care of my affairs after 1 passed. As she carried my urn back, she happened to encounter Benjamin pushing Sylvia out the door in a wheelchair. The two were close, like a newlywed couple in perfect harmony.

Sloane’s eyes blazed with anger. Tears still fresh

on her cheeks, she lunged at Benjamin and gripped his neck tightly.

“Benjamin Lennox, you’re heartless! You took Mirabelle’s life from me!”

Caught off guard, Benjamin took a hit from Sloane. The next moment, he forcefully kicked her to the roadside. As Sloane fell, she clutched the urn protectively.

Benjamin’s kick was strong, leaving Sloane bruised where she landed. Yet her first thought was to check if the urn had been harmed.

My heart ached for Sloane. I wanted to help her up, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t touch her. Yes, I was already dead; the dead have no physical form.

Benjamin looked at Sloane with disgust. “What are you causing a scene for? If there was another suitable heart, I would give it to her.”

“She knew Sylvia needed that heart more. Why did she come to you? You two are really birds of a feather!”

Tears streamed down Sloane’s face. “Mirabelle is gone, it’s no longer needed, it will never be used!”
