"I'm signing on behalf of James. Do you have any more questions?"

"Of course not," the nurse hurriedly replied. "Please come with me upstairs to sign."

"It's inconvenient to climb in my heels. Just bring the death certificate down here, and I'll sign it."

"Alright, then. I'll go up then. Ms. Nichole, please wait a moment."

The nurse left the morgue, leaving Nichole alone.

Nichole stepped forward and pulled back the white cloth, revealing Sophie's pale, bruised face. She looked nothing like the wealthy lady she once was.

Sophie couldn't help but smirk at the sight of her former self. In her past life, she had tormented herself for James, ending up in such a pitiful state. Truly, it wasn't worth it.

"Sophie, don't blame me for being heartless. Only with you gone could I take Mrs. Burke's place."

Nichole removed a ring from the corpse's hand, examining it closely.

Sophie remembered that in her past life, she received this ring from Bea after announcing her pregnancy.

Bea had declared her the only daughter-in-law of the Burke family. Now, it all seemed like a joke.

"I didn't expect James to actually give you the family heirloom ring."

Nichole laughed as she slipped the ring onto her own finger. "But it doesn't matter. From today on, I am the owner of this ring."

Hearing this, Sophie was stunned.

The family heirloom ring?

Was this ring from James? How could that be?

Sophie remembered how happy she was to tell Bea about her pregnancy. Bea had been so caring and even said she had a special gift for her. When she went upstairs, she found the ring on the table along with a small note.

The note only had two words - For you.

Could it be that it wasn't from Bea but James?

No, that was impossible. James despised her to his core. How could he possibly give her the family heirloom ring?

Everything felt so alien.

Sophie wanted to understand what was going on, but the scene shifted, and she saw James rushing to the hospital in the evening, grabbing the doctor by the collar to ask who had signed the death certificate. She rarely saw James lose control of his emotions like this. As she tried to hear what James was saying, she suddenly woke up.

Sophie sat up in bed, her back covered in cold sweat. The dream felt incredibly real, and she remembered every detail vividly. Could it be that she had actually dreamt of her past life's ending?

"Ms. Sophie, are you alright?" The maid asked with concern from outside the door, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"I'm fine."

Sophie calmed herself down and turned on the bedside lamp. It was almost dawn outside.

The clock showed it was 5:30 in the morning.

Sophie tried to go back to sleep, but she could no longer dream of what had transpired in her nightmare.
