All Chapters of When He Finds Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Two years ago, I was the most talented researcher at the Disease Control Agency.While I was studying virus samples with undeciphered genetic codes, my husband Ethan Carter's true love, Sophia Williams, burned me alive. She had splashed alcohol across the shattered virus samples, the glass vials she'd broken in the struggle. Pressing a rag soaked in diethyl ether against my face, she waited until my consciousness faded. Then, she set the lab ablaze, reducing everything to ashes. When the staff arrived with the firemen, she had sobbed through her story—claiming I was a foreign agent who had stolen virus samples. A month later, a strange and highly contagious disease began spreading through the city, leaving death and suffering in its wake. Ethan publicly severed all ties with me before getting together with his true love. I became the city's pariah, condemned as a foreign spy by everyone. This continued until three bold high schoolers breached the long-sealed lab. There, th

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

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

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

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
