The Third Year After My Death

I hung in the air, staring blankly at the body on the autopsy table.It wasn't even human anymore. Its skin was completely destroyed, and the body was covered in a thin layer of frost.I couldn't even recognize that it was me."Winston, are you here?" Cayden Dalton, his assistant, saw him and asked, "The expedition team found the body when they were in Salakole this time."The face was all scratched up, and anything on her body that could prove her identity was taken away, so we suspect it's an intentional murder."Hearing that the body was salvaged from Salakole, Winston paused for a moment, then he put on his sterile gloves with a poker face.I floated in mid-air, staring at the man in front of me.Three years... It had been three years since I died.After I died, my soul was trapped in Salakole, suffering in the fierce wind and freezing weather all day.Until someone found me, they brought me back.But I didn't expect that Winston was the person who would personally diss

My soul was forced to follow Winston back home.That home I used to be in was now devoid of all my traces.In its place were the things that belonged to Vivian and Winston."You are back." As soon as Vivian saw that Winston was back, she came up and wrapped her arms around Winston's waist.Winston tenderly held her in his arms, burying himself deep in the crook of her neck and closing his eyes.What a sweet scene!Winston had never done such an intimate action to me before."Does your hand still hurt?" Winston asked.Vivian smiled and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt anymore."Winston looked at her affectionately. "Did you take painkillers behind my back again?"Aryanna stabbed you so many times back then. You still have after-effects even now."I floated in the air, wanting to argue. It wasn't me. I didn't!Why did you misunderstand me based on Vivian's lies?Winston had never believed me.Before I fell in love with Winston, I didn't know that Winston had Vivian in his h

The crowd dispersed, and my most respected mentor, Marquise Whitaker, appeared."Mr. Whitaker, it's so nice to see you here." Seeing Marquise, Vivian's eyes instantly lit up.Marquise gave her a very delicate gift. "My little girl, happy wedding day.""My little girl?" There was a time when Marquise called me that too."Winston, be nice to Vivian well, or I won't let go of you." Marquise smiled and patted Winston's shoulder."Blake is right. Fortunately, Aryanna left, otherwise, she would have straddled between you two. You may not get a happy ending."There were times when I wished that she had just died in Salakole and never appeared in front of us in this life."I floated in the air, listening to their ridiculous conversation.I couldn't even laugh, neither could I cry.Once upon a time, I was also a hoping star in the eyes of everyone on the expedition team.But now, people who said they loved me back then no longer trusted me.Winston looked at Marquise. "Mr. Whitaker,

It was the familiar dissecting table as well as the familiar man."How could it be you? How could it be you?"Winston's hands were shaking so badly that it took several attempts to open the bag containing me.When the bag was opened, there was a wave of cold air that came out.Winston didn't care so much. He came closer to try to see my features.But my face was covered with a hideous scar, making it impossible for him to see clearly.As if he thought of something, he quickly shifted his sight to my belly.A hideous scar showed on my belly.Winston looked at those scars a little bit but eventually landed on a not-so-impressive one.It was an old scar, a wound that was no more than 2 inches in length, with traces of stitches.I got that scar when Winston and I were dating four years ago.At that time, Winston took over a case. He was responsible for the test.The murderer was a vicious man. He wanted to die with Winston before he was caught.When he stabbed the knife toward

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone froze in place.No one was speaking for a long time."What test? With whom?" Vivian asked.I looked at Vivian, who was so nervous that her hands were shaking, and she was biting her lips.Winston's gaze was deep, and he said, "They brought back someone on this mission, a dead person."That person is Aryanna."You said Aryanna ran away, but why is her body in Salakole?"Vivian was incoherent. "Maybe it was when she ran away...""She accidentally died while running away?" Winston let out a light laugh. "Then why did she die with injuries all over her body?"Stab wounds were all over her face, neck, and belly."Everything that could prove her identity was taken away..."Winston said in a broken voice."Vivian, how do you expect me to trust you?""Winston. Are you telling the truth?" Marquise stood up slowly and asked incredulously.Under the gazes of the crowd, Winston nodded sadly."Aryanna is the one you brought back this time
