All Chapters of My Wife Stole Our Daughter's Corneas: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Could the family member please sign the death certificate? We will then take the child to the crematorium.”My breath stuttered as I held back from taking the death certificate the nurse handed me. I stared blankly at it and stood still.I had rushed back from out of town. The last time I saw my daughter was in the morgue. I still could not accept it. Just a while ago, she was so full of life. How could she have turned into a cold, lifeless body?The nurse looked at me with sympathy. She tried to comfort me gently. “Your daughter was very brave. She donated her corneas so another child could see again. Dr. Rosie was her mother. She must have made a tough call to sign the organ donation papers.”Her words struck me like a heavy blow. I felt my head spin as I leaned against the wall to keep from falling.My eyes widened and my lips trembled as I said, “Who did you say signed those papers? I’m Ev’s father. I knew nothing about this. I don’t even know how she died!”The nurse look

Rosie was humming when she got home late that night. She was in a great mood.She shivered as soon as she stepped inside.“Tom! Why are you blasting the air conditioning in the middle of winter?”A second later, she screamed at the top of her lungs.“What’s wrong with you?! Didn’t I tell you to take her to the crematorium? Why would you bring her here? Isn’t it creepy to have a dead body on our couch?!”Rosie pressed herself against the wall. Her chest heaved as she stared at Evelyn’s body like it was some kind of nightmare.I calmly adjusted Evelyn’s dress and smiled.“Rosie, what are you afraid of? She’s your daughter too, right? Or did you do something to her? Are you afraid she’ll come back for revenge?”“Enough with that nonsense!”Rosie was visibly shaken. She tried to hold it together, but she still kept her distance from me and Evelyn.“I’m just as heartbroken as you are, but there’s a time and a place for everything. Why bring her body home? She’ll start to decompose

When I opened my eyes again, Evelyn had already turned into a pile of ashes. I stumbled over and pushed Rosie aside. The staff nearby were startled by my cries.Rosie sighed in relief and said softly to me, “Ev has now been cremated. Stop crying. Let’s pack up the ashes and head home.”I ignored her. With red-rimmed eyes, I slowly picked up the ashes and placed them into the urn. Rosie remained quiet as she supported Barbara, who had fainted from crying.After a long moment, Rosie finally pulled me to the side and spoke in an unusually gentle voice. “I know you’re very sad right now. I don’t understand why you’re angry with me. My mom isn’t well and has always hoped for us to get along. Can we just let this go?“We can have another child. One who’s better and smarter than Ev—”“Get lost!”I slapped Rosie hard across the face, leaving her stunned in place. “You don’t deserve to be a mother. You never even let Ev call you ‘Mom’! Now, you’re putting on this act? Do you think burning

For a long time after that, no matter what methods I tried, even waiting at the hospital for Rosie, she refused to see me. She kept repeating that she would not divorce me and would not sign any papers.I grew impatient and turned to a lawyer to handle these matters. That day, I was still waiting at the hospital for her, but she was not in her office.“Excuse me, are you Dr. Rosie’s husband?”A young girl approached me cautiously. She looked around as if afraid of being discovered. I glanced at her and realized I had seen her before. She was Liliana Pump, an intern working under Rosie. It seemed she had been trying to talk to me.“I am. Can you tell her I need to talk to Dr. Rosie?”As soon as I finished speaking, Liliana hesitated and stood still.“She is not in the hospital right now...”Liliana hesitated. It seemed as if she was making up her mind. After a moment, she pulled me aside to a quiet corner.“Sir, you’re Ev’s dad, right? Ev wasn’t actually sick. I noticed somethin

Rosie’s eyes widened. She spoke in a trembling voice.“How do you have those photos?”As soon as she finished speaking, a nurse rushed in and asked Rosie to go to the director’s office.I did not stick around for her to return. Instead, I headed home.I was going to divorce her anyway. I did not need to deal with Barbara’s situation.Rosie came home late at night. She looked completely worn out. When she saw me, she wanted to lash out but held back.“How could you just come home when Mom is still in the hospital? What if something happens to her?”“Why should I care if something happens to her? She’s your mom, not mine.”Rosie looked stunned. She clearly did not expect me to say that.I ignored her and placed the divorce papers back in front of her. This time, I would not back down.“Let’s get this divorce sorted while I’m still calm. I thought about leaving you something, but I’ve changed my mind. You don’t deserve anything!“If you don’t sign it, I’ll take you to court. An
