Chapter 2

Author: A Little Water
Lilian reached just when the car from the funeral home arrived. She made a scene as soon as she stepped in.

“You brought bad luck to my family! How unlucky I am to have such a daughter-in-law like you! You must be cursed. That’s why my son died! Now, you want to keep me from saying goodbye to my son!

“Did you get another man? Is that why you can’t wait to cremate my son? How wretched!

“Oh, Lucius! You should’ve taken her with you when you left!”

I watched Lilian make a scene and fall to the ground with cold indifference. She was wearing a mink coat.

Her loud and sharp voice attracted a lot of onlookers. They condemned me.

“How could she be so heartless?”

“She doesn’t look sad but flirty. I’m sure she hooks up with a lot of men!”

“No woman would dress up this well when their husband just died!”

I ignored those words.

However, Rebecca hurriedly walked over to help Lilian up. She gently comforted Lilian and said, “Mrs. Holmes, please get up. I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold if you stay on the ground on such a cold day.”

Lilian got up and yelled at me.

“Get lost, Summer Lloyd! You’re not my daughter-in-law! You don’t have to manage my son’s funeral either!”

I snorted and said, “Lilian, I was worried that you couldn’t handle it if I told you about this. I wanted the best for you.

“But it seems like I was overthinking. You accepted it well enough. Your son is dead, but you don’t even look at him. All you did right after you arrived was fall on the ground and yell at me. People might assume that Lucius isn’t dead, after all.”

Both Lilian and Rebecca looked guilty.

Lilian refused to admit it. “I got anxious because you wanted to cremate my son. I’m going to see him now!”

I glanced at the hearse nearby that was used to deliver the bodies. “Go ahead. He’s in there.”

Lilian glanced at the hearse and got mad again. Her eyes widened, and she yelled again, “Summer, are you out of your mind?! That hearse is full of bad luck! It’s used to deliver dead people! How could you let them carry my son onto the hearse? It’ll affect his luck!

“How dare you?! My son was so nice to you for nothing!”

I widened my eyes innocently and feigned confusion as I looked at Lilian. “What are you talking about, Lilian? Isn’t the hearse used to carry and deliver dead people? Lucius is dead. Why do you bring up his luck?”

Consequently, Lilian was tongue-tied and gloomy. She glared at me because she did not expect me to argue. She was struck dumb.

Rebecca immediately chimed in, “Don’t blame her, Summer. She tried to stop you from sending Lucius for cremation because of a tradition of her hometown. When people pass away, their bodies are to be placed in the home for three days before they’re cremated. If not, their spirits will be burned too since they haven’t left their bodies.”

Lilian hurriedly nodded when she heard that. “Yeah, that’s right! Tell them to carry my son out of the hearse. You aren’t as knowledgeable as Rebecca!”

Of course, I was fearless.

Lucius’s body was delivered to his hometown in the suburbs that afternoon as if they had long discussed it.

Surprisingly, Lucius’s hometown was well set up with a feast in the courtyard. Besides, everyone who came looked happy. It was as if no one had died.

Lilian grinned and entertained the guests in delight. She was all smiles.

Rebecca looked at me in concern. “Summer, you must be exhausted. I’ll help you keep watch here. You should take some rest.”

I calmly grabbed some food before I sat beside Lucius’s coffin.

“That’s unnecessary. He wasn’t your husband. Why would you keep watch here?”

Rebecca felt awkward.

I waved at her. “I just need to keep watch for three days. I won’t let anyone touch my husband! He’s already dead. This is the least I can do for him. I’m going to fight anyone who tries to stop me!”

Rebecca glared at me. Helpless, she ran to Lilian to discuss it with the latter.

    Before long, I saw Lilian walk over with a cup of tea. She was full of smiles. “Summer, I was wrong about you. You must be exhausted. Have some tea.”I knew this was their trick. They must have added a sleeping pill into the tea to make me fall asleep before they could continue with their scheme. I waved and looked meek. “That’s unnecessary, Lilian. You should go to bed. Take good care of yourself, so I don’t have to worry about you too. I’ll keep watch here. Lucius was the love of my life. I can’t let anyone take my place.” Lilian’s face sank. She blurted out, “No, I can’t watch you starve like this.” I knew that she was referring to Lucius. If not, I might have assumed that she was a good mother-in-law. “You don’t have to worry about me, Lilian. I’ll grab a bite if I’m hungry.”Lilian gritted her teeth and nearly yelled at me again. “Have some tea if you don’t want to eat. It’s the dead of winter. You’ve got to eat something.”It seemed like she wanted to force me to d

    Lucius did not expect to see me raise my head. He gritted his teeth and was at a loss. Lilian was the first to react. “Oh, Lucius! You came back to life! How lucky we are! Oh, it must be God’s kindness!” Lucius hurriedly acted his part. “Mom, I feel like I’ve just escaped death! I’m glad to be alive!” Of course, I had to fake my sincerity too. I hugged Lucius and sobbed. “I’m so glad, hubby! You’re not dead! We’ll never be separated again.”When I said that, gloom washed over the three of them. Rebecca interrupted us and looked displeased. “Okay, let’s tell everyone the great news since Lucius is awake. We’ll call off the funeral.”I looked at her and said calmly, “Thank you for all your help in these trying times, Rebecca. But you’re not my family. Just go home. We’ll handle our own family matters from here.” Rebecca gritted her teeth and looked at Lucius. Lucius shook his head gently as though to tell her not to act recklessly. Rebecca snorted and turned to lea

    It seemed like Lucius and Lilian were going to come up with a way to make me sign for divorce in the meantime. All I had to do was stay vigilant toward them. After all, I did not know how wicked they could be. I returned to my room at night. Lucius, Lilian, and Rebecca were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Lilian had asked Rebecca to spend the night while we were still at the dining table. Presumably, they wanted to discuss something. I was cautious and left a recording pen behind the sofa. When they went back to their rooms to sleep in the middle of the night, I went to the living room to search for the recording pen. I fast-forwarded to when someone started talking. I heard Rebecca’s voice first. “Mrs. Holmes, I’m already three months pregnant. What’ll I do if I start looking pregnant?”Only then did I understand everything. It turned out that Rebecca was pregnant with Lucius’s child. It was no wonder they had exhausted all means to get me out of the way

    I pretended to have just woken up when I opened the door of my room. “Hubby, Lilian, why are you home in the middle of the night?” When Lilian heard Josie’s name, she hurriedly rushed into the master bedroom and screamed, “Josie, why are you here?!” I walked over to watch the scene and found a few bodies tangled up in the room. It was an unpleasant sight. Josie screamed, “Why did you guys come in?! Get lost!”Lilian grabbed a blanket to cover Josie’s body and glared at the men. “Get lost!” When they were gone, Lucius glared at me. “What is Josie doing here?”I feigned innocence and looked at him with an aggrieved expression. “I was scared to be alone at home. So, I asked if Josie could come and keep me company for a few days. She insisted on staying in the master bedroom, so I let her. “By the way, how did the men enter our house? I’ll call the cops and sue them for barging into our house illegally and manhandling Josie.” Hatred gleamed in Lucius’s eyes. He gri

    After reaching the summit of the snowy mountain, I pretended to sit down to rest. I noticed Lucius looking around for something. He looked down at the mountain and stole glances at me from time to time. I pretended not to know as I drank some hot water from the thermos and rested my feet. When I was fully rested, I got up. “Let’s go, hubby. Let’s go down the mountain. It’s too cold here. My head hurts.” Unexpectedly, Lucius abruptly got up. “No, we can’t. We don’t get to see the sunrise from the mountain peak every day. Shouldn’t we wait for the sunrise and take a photo to commemorate the moment?” I smiled and shook my head. “I don’t think we should wait for the sunrise. The night view is great too with so many stars. I’ll take a photo of you instead.” Of course, Lucius would disagree because he had a different agenda. He was too hesitant to let me take a photo of him. “I’ll take a photo of you instead. We’ve been married for so many years, but I don’t even have one ni

    I went up the mountain with Lucius alone that day because I wanted to hear the truth from him. As expected, I gained something. “What lottery?” “I won a lottery of 300 million dollars. At first, I wanted to divorce you and marry Rebecca. Then, we would enjoy a great life abroad with the money.” “Did it ever occur to you that we should be together instead since we’ve been married for so many years?” Of course, Lucius was too frightened to tell the truth. “Of course, I do. But Rebecca persuaded me to get all the money. Plus, she’s pregnant. I have no choice but to…” An idea dawned on me when I saw him like that. “I forgot to tell you. Rebecca hooked up with a lot of men. You’re just one of her many lovers.” Lucius was stunned. Then, he yelled, “How dare she lie to me?!” “I’m glad to see you figure it out. But you have to tell me where you kept the lottery ticket if you want me to pull you up.” “Uhm…” Lucius hesitated. “I’ll tell you once you pull me up.” I laughed co

    Lilian cried piteously. When she heard me, she immediately pointed at me. “Sir, I want to report a case. This woman killed my son!” The cops walked over to pull Lilian away. “We’ll take Summer Lloyd to the police station now. You guys can come along with us. We don’t let go of any criminal, nor do we accuse someone falsely.” I went to the police station with them. In the meantime, Lilian continued to yell at me. She claimed that I got her son killed. She wanted them to shoot me to death. I looked at the cops. “Sir, I found a surveillance system at the top of the mountain. We’ll know the truth once we get the footage. Lucius’s death has nothing to do with me. He wanted to kill me instead.” Lucius was ignorant of something when he took me up the mountain. The top of the mountain was monitored. He had committed a crime, whether I rescued him or not. Lilian stopped crying when she heard that. She tried to stop the cops. “Why? She harmed my son! If not, how could he die?

    “Buck up, Summer! Even if Lucius is dead, you’ve still got me! I’ll never leave you.” Rebecca Stone, my bestie, held my hand and comforted me when she found me in the hospital. After a pause, I looked around and realized that I was reborn. I was reborn and back to the day when Lucius Holmes, my husband, had a heart attack and died. During my previous life, Lucius and I worked hard to earn money to afford a big house. I worked full-time during the day and part-time in a hotel at night. I was already exhausted and weak from it. My husband’s sudden death filled me with exhaustion. I fell seriously ill and was bedridden. However, Lilian Newt, my mother-in-law, kept my illness from my parents and forcefully took me home from the hospital. She denied me treatment so that I would die. When I was about to die, I saw my husband on the news on TV. He was full of smiles because he won a lottery ticket worth 300 million dollars. Rebecca was standing beside him. I stopped th
