Report
Two years ago, I was one of the Disease Control Agency's best researchers. But while I was investigating a batch of virus samples with unsequenced genetic codes, my husband's true love burned me to death. She poured rubbing alcohol over the virus samples she accidentally dropped and rendered me unconscious with diethyl ether. Then, she set the lab on fire and burned everything to a crisp. When the agency's other employees led the firefighters to the scene, she cried and claimed I'd stolen the virus samples after colluding with an unknown organization. A month later, an odd and aggressive virus spread throughout the city, leading to countless deaths. My husband, Ethan Carter, denounced and severed ties with me before getting together with his true love. The whole city turned on me, crying for my blood. Everyone said I was a spy from an external power. That changes when three daring high school students accidentally stumble upon the cordoned-off lab. They discover my charred body inside.

When He Finds Me Chapter 11
When the case was overturned, I felt like many people had begun favoring me.Those who had insulted me and my parents and indirectly driven them to their deaths were now the same ones speaking out in my defense and offering apologies. My colleagues, who had attacked me amidst the chaos, suddenly grew remorseful. As they talked about their time working with me in the past, they shed some tears of regret.One of them said, "Actually, I had wanted to say that Charlotte wasn't that sort of person at all. She even helped me with my reports back then."Another replied, "I wanted to say that too…"I only found it ironic.After leaving the prison that day, Ethan went to my old home alone.This place had been abandoned ever since my grandparents passed away. It was in ruins, and the grass at the entrance had grown even taller than Ethan.I was stunned as I gazed at the familiar yet strange scene. I felt something cold on my face.How odd. Could spirits shed tears too?I had only brou

Ethan took Sophia to an illegal clinic he had sought out beforehand.In the unregulated surgery room, Sophia had the child aborted. Each of her terrified screams was louder than the last.I watched in the air above them, my heart as calm as it could be.The doctor took out a bloody piece of flesh.Ethan only took a glance at the dead baby, which had already begun to take form. Then, he carelessly flicked the ash off the cigarette he was holding. "Toss it."Sirens were heard outside the clinic. Ethan coldly watched as they carried away Sophia, who was close to death. He disappeared into the night.He had given the illegal clinic lots of hush money, so he had no fear of being implicated. I followed him. He went straight to the hospital where my corpse was stored. Then, he claimed my ashes with our marriage certificate, which had been expired for a long while.He carried the tiny urn in his hands, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He usually had an upright posture, but th

When I next saw Sophia, she was in the underground garage of my and Ethan's house.It was very hot then, but she was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. I could tell right away that she was worried someone might recognize her.The internet was a double-edged sword. Thanks to the internet, Sophia became a famous livestreamer overnight, but now, it was the very thing that utterly destroyed her reputation. Someone uploaded the video online, and the video caused a huge uproar.Internet users hated the thought of being used as pawns, especially when it involved matters concerning public safety.A user wrote, "Goodness, I remember this woman! She was the one who exposed Charlotte Smith for stealing and leaking the virus samples!"Another user commented, "The more I think about it, the scarier it becomes. If that corpse really were Charlotte Smith, how could a dead person steal the samples?"Someone else wrote, "I think she might have been murdered to cover up the truth…"The fame

Ethan set down the diamond ring, and his gaze was losing focus. Eventually, he looked at his wrist.There wasn't anything special on his wrist, save for the marks left from wearing a watch over long periods.When Ethan got together with Sophia later on, she had complained about the watch he was wearing. She had said that it kept poking her when she lay her head on his arm to sleep.After hesitating for a long while, Ethan took off the watch he had always worn and placed it in the drawer of the bedside table.That watch was the first gift I had ever given to him.Ethan and Sophia had gotten into a huge fight a long time ago.Sophia was sulking, and she had gone flirting with another man. Ethan, who was full of youthful vigor, had chosen to get drunk in a bar instead of talking to her.Sophia had expected Ethan to appease her, but in the end, she didn't get what she wanted. In her fury, she had called Ethan and said many terrible things to him.Back then, Ethan kept failing the p

Ethan was all alone as he sat beside my corpse. Reaching out, he picked up the pink diamond.The analysis report on the pink diamond revealed a string of numbers and letters on its girdle.Ethan knew better than anyone what the code meant, and he was also quite familiar with the origins of this pink diamond.The numbers were Sophia's birthday, and the letters were "ILY".The pink diamond ring was a gift from Ethan to Sophia for her 24th birthday.Back then, Ethan and I were already married for a year.I had once gotten into a huge fight with Ethan because of the ring. The sole reason was that Ethan had never put so much effort into my gifts. Be it my birthday or our anniversary, he would transfer money to my account and send me away, claiming he was busy with work.I didn't want to interrupt his work, so I didn't dare prod further.However, I had never considered the coincidences before. Why would he always have urgent business on days that were important to me?On the contrar

Steeling herself, Sophia stepped forward and tugged at Ethan's shirt. She looked like she was about to cry, and she didn't dare look at my corpse. "Don't do this, Ethan. You still have me, right? We still have an unborn baby, too."Ethan glared at her, his reddened eyes making him look like a devil. "Get lost! How dare you even talk about the child? Have some shame!"After getting shouted at, Sophia quickly lost control of her emotions. She sobbed as she held tightly onto Ethan's leg. "You can't do this to me! The baby in my belly is yours! You're my husband!"Ethan gripped her arm with both hands. A storm was brewing in his eyes. "Tell me, Sophia. Why was your pink diamond found near Lottie's corpse?"I still couldn't understand some things before this, but everything made sense now.At that moment, endless regret bound Ethan's heart like firm shackles, and he was in so much pain that he almost couldn't breathe.Sophia had fallen onto the floor, startled. Ethan's shout had attra

In the next second, Ethan suddenly stood up. He seemed to have forgotten the ongoing call as he turned around and ran toward the morgue.He dashed along the hospital corridor, bumping into things as he went. He couldn't be bothered about the gazes of everyone around him.Sophia's face turned pale. She had overheard the victim's identity, which Ethan's assistant had just reported. With all her might, she hurried toward the hospital.The truth was about to come to light, so of course, she would panic. She was the culprit, after all.At that moment, Ethan had lost his usual calmness. With shaking hands, he painstakingly moved my corpse back onto the autopsy table.He was in a frenzy as he searched for traces on the corpse to prove that this corpse wasn't me.What could he possibly find?The horribly burned corpse had been frozen, so a thin layer of frost had settled on it. Still, it was obvious that the whole corpse was carbonized.The skull was burned and cracked, and only some b

Sophia's behavior that day had attracted a lot of fans who supported her relationship with Ethan.After the disease gradually came under control, time slowly eased the stress the outbreak had brought upon the public.However, whenever my name was mentioned, people still spat and cursed at me.Making use of her fanbase, Sophia had started working as a live streamer. She would update her lovey-dovey life with Ethan every day.Later, she began creating content based on infant care when she got pregnant.By the time Ethan saw my corpse, Sophia was already four months pregnant.She gently caressed her belly on-screen, and her quiet expression exuded a motherly shine.However, when Ethan told her that a burned corpse was found in the lab, her expression turned ferocious for an instant."Come home soon, darling. Our baby misses you," Sophia said.Ethan replied, "Is it our baby who misses me, or is it you?"Their call was on speaker mode, so Ethan's voice reached the ears of all the
When He Finds Me Chapter 3
With Sophia playing the victim and Ethan defending her, the case was wrapped up with the claim that "Charlotte Smith, a researcher, had turned her back on her duties and betrayed the country". That careless judgment had marked me with a deep disgrace. No one dared enter the lab to investigate the truth due to the threat of the unknown virus.The researchers at the lab were ordered to terminate the project due to the leaked virus samples, and the surrounding areas were designated as restricted zones. The site was sealed off entirely, entombing my corpse within it. Officials had suppressed the information to avoid mass panic, but a month later, the terrifying and highly contagious disease had broken out in the city. It was the most dangerous outbreak the world had ever seen.Countless lives were lost, and for a time, everyone was at risk. Several bold journalists had discovered that Ethan was in charge of the case and demanded an explanation from him.They had intercepted Ethan
