Report
On the tenth day after I perished in the avalanche, my husband finally remembered me. His first love was suffering from aplastic anemia and urgently needed a bone marrow transplant—one that only I could provide. He came home holding a donation consent form, ready for me to sign, only to find the house empty. Kelly leaned weakly against him. "Vanessa must really hate me. She doesn't want to donate her bone marrow, so she ran away on purpose, didn't she?" "Maybe we should just forget it," she sighed. "I can hold on a little longer." Caden gently comforted her, his heart aching. "I won't let anything happen to you." "It's just a bone marrow donation. It's not like she'll die from it." Then he pulled out his phone and sent me a message: [No matter where you are, come back immediately and sign the donation consent form.] [Don't be so selfish! Kelly is seriously ill. If she doesn't get a transplant soon, she'll die. It's just bone marrow—I'm not asking for your life!] [If you keep refusing, I'll stop paying for your mother's medical bills!] Caden… I died the moment you walked away from the ski resort with Kelly. The avalanche buried me and our unborn child beneath the snow. My mother, in her desperate attempt to save me, was torn apart by wild wolves. How could you not know?

His Final Collapse Chapter 6
As of late, I had been barely awake more than a few moments at a time. Most of the time, I slept in my mother's arms.When I did come to, I caught Caden talking to thin air, like he had lost it, flipping between tears and laughter.The neighbors were so unsettled that they had called the cops on him more than once. He had been holed up at home for seven days. Then Kelly showed up.She gave Caden that fragile look and said, "You've been ignoring your phone, hiding out here?"Caden kept busy, not even bothering to answer. Kelly lunged in for a hug, "Caden, what's going on? Are you back with Vanessa? But you promised you'd be there for me until I got better."Caden gently pushed her away. "There's no making up with her."Kelly froze. "So why stick around? The doctor says I need that bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. Talk to Vanessa, will you? If it's money she wants, I can pay—whatever she asks for."Caden's voice dripped with icy sarcasm. "If you're so desperate to see h

We arrived at the morgue, and the worker yanked open a couple of fridge drawers.There I was, along with my mom, just lying there.Due to the ice and snow, I looked pretty much the same. Not bloated or anything.Mom's story was different, though. Wolves had gotten to her, and all that was left was her head."Vanessa, don't look," Mom whispered, pulling me close and covering my eyes with her hand.For some reason, I could almost sense the warmth of her spirit.Caden's gaze was locked on my face, and he stood completely still.His emotions were all over the place."How can this be? She was just fine when I left. It's only been half an hour."The staff member looked pained but continued with the task at hand. "Mr. Hall, these are Mrs. Vanessa's personal belongings. Please go through them."Clutching my backpack, Caden broke down in tears.Mom wrapped her arms around me, perched on a corner table, and sang the lullabies of my youth."Don't cry, sweetheart. I've never once regre

Caden paced the hospital corridors, his heart pounding as he searched for my mother's room. He had been up and down the ward three times, but there was no sign of her anywhere.A nurse happened to walk by, and Caden reached out, catching her hand. "Excuse me, where's Mrs. Stanley? She was in this room, right?"The nurse paused, giving Caden a once-over before answering, "Ah, the lady with the late-stage cancer? She checked out thirteen days ago. Said something about celebrating an anniversary with her daughter and son-in-law.""And you are?" the nurse inquired. "Her cancer is spreading fast. She doesn't have much time left. Make sure she's well taken care of."Caden's mind reeled. "That can't be right. Her cancer was at an intermediate stage, and the treatments were working, weren't they?""I'm not too sure about the details. If you're family, you might want to check with her primary doctor."With that, the nurse hurried off, leaving Caden to collapse against the wall, his legs g
His Final Collapse Chapter 3
The three-day ultimatum he had given me was up, and I was still a no-show at the hospital.Kelly kept telling him she felt herself weakening, and the fed-up Caden headed back home.However, the house had not changed, except for a new notice about an overdue electricity bill stuck to the door.I watched Caden try to call me from the doorstep.The phone just gave back a robotic tone, saying the number he dialed was switched off.He frowned, opened his messaging app, and saw the same messages he had sent three days ago, begging me to come forward and donate bone marrow to Kelly.I could not respond, of course.He tapped on my social profile and froze when he saw the picture I had posted 13 days back.There I was, on top of a snow-capped mountain with the sunrise behind me. The caption was short and sweet—[Happy third anniversary.]His hand shook as if he had only just remembered that 13 days ago was our third anniversary.He stared at the photo for a long moment before going bac

Caden was back at the hospital with Vanessa, and they looked every bit the happy couple."Caden, does Vanessa despise me so much that she's hiding on purpose?"I never should've come back, never should've thought about seeing you one last time before the end. You don't need to hang around the hospital for me. Go home and make things right with Vanessa. Once I'm gone, you two will patch things up." Kelly looked like she was about to cry as she weakly pushed Caden away from her hospital bed.Caden gently tousled her hair."Silly girl, it's just anemia. You're not going to die. And even if Vanessa won't give her bone marrow, I'll do whatever it takes to find a match for you."Kelly's eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Caden. Meeting you has been the highlight of my life."I don't know how much time I've got left, if I can hold out for another bone marrow match. The doctor said Vanessa's marrow is a perfect match for mine, like nothing he's ever seen before."With a voice full
His Final Collapse Chapter 1
A week and a half ago, I had made plans with my husband, Caden Hall, to hit the slopes at Saint Lorenzo Snow Mountain.Decked out in my ski gear, I was relaxing in the lobby as I waited for the instructor when Caden showed up with his high school sweetheart, Kelly Turner, in tow.He pushed a consent form into my hands, his eyes pleading. "Vanessa, you're a bone marrow match for Kelly. After we return, let's get the surgery done, okay?"Kelly, looking ghostly pale, clutched my hand, her voice a whisper of thanks. "Vanessa, I can't tell you how much it means that you'd do this for me. Caden and I are both so thankful."I pulled my hand back, a lump forming in my throat. "Caden, I'm pregnant. Can we... Can we put off the donation?" I was about to ditch the ski gear and dig out the pregnancy test from my bag to prove it.However, Kelly's eyes brimmed with tears as she stared at me. "Vanessa, Caden's been by my side in the hospital for months. How could you be pregnant?"I know you're
