All Chapters of He Got Blissfully Married While I Sank Beneath the Waves: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Realizing the truth was exposed, Evangeline no longer tried to resist. She dropped to her knees, clinging to Murphy's legs as tears streamed down her face. "Murphy, I was wrong! But please believe me—I never intended to hurt Gemma."This was all my father's idea. He wanted to use me to forge a connection with you, so he forced me to set up this trap to harm Gemma… I didn't agree at first. I begged him not to do it, but he told me that Gemma's feelings for you weren't just gratitude toward a foster father—they were romantic feelings, a woman's love for a man!"He said that if you found out Gemma had cancer, you'd be so heartbroken that you'd agree to be with her. And if that happened, I'd lose my chance forever."Murphy, I know what I did was wrong, but it was only because I love you so much! Spending time with you has made me fall madly in love with you. I don't want our relationship to be just an act. I want to stay by your side, to be your woman!"As she spoke, Evangeline ripped

As Murphy opened the envelope, Gemma's delicate handwriting appeared before him once more: [Uncle Murphy, you must be the one reading this letter, right? Because I can't imagine anyone else coming to look for me.[It's a bit sad, isn't it? Even after all these years, you're the only person I can think of who might come looking for me if I were to disappear. And what's even sadder is that I'm not entirely sure you'll come. After all, you have Evangeline now…[I'm sorry. I've said something you don't want to hear again. Please don't be upset. I'm not blaming you. In fact, I'm happy for you. It's lonely being alone in this world. To find someone you love and share your life with is a kind of blessing.[Uncle Murphy, I don't know why, but whenever I wish you happiness, you don't seem to believe me. You always think I still have lingering feelings for you and that my blessings are insincere, deceitful, or have ulterior motives.[But that's not true. I admit that I still like you—a lot.

"Mr. Townsend, please calm down," Andre said while wiping the sweat from his brow. "I understand how you feel, but you've misunderstood me. When I mentioned thawing, I didn't mean it could happen now—I meant many years from now."Our current technology can rapidly freeze a person without damaging their cells. But as for thawing... I'm sorry, our capabilities haven't advanced that far yet.""How is that even possible?" Murphy snapped. "Freezing and thawing should go hand in hand. If you can't thaw someone, why offer cryogenic preservation at all?""Mr. Townsend, please listen to me carefully," Andre replied, his tone steady but firm. "Freezing and thawing are not the same process."Freezing is relatively straightforward. As long as the temperature is lowered rapidly enough, a person's cells remain intact. Although the body is frozen, the cells are still alive, just inactive. The individual is frozen in that exact moment, suspended in time, and they'll stop aging."But thawing is mu

As the young man spoke about his neighbor's daughter, his eyes sparkled like a beam of light piercing through a dark night. It was as if his entire life had been illuminated by her presence."I waited for so long until I finally grew up," he said, his voice tinged with both pride and longing. "But when I confessed my feelings to her with so much hope, she turned me down."The light in his eyes dimmed, and his tone softened. "She told me she's 12 years older than me, and if we got together, people would gossip. Well, I don't accept that," he continued, a stubborn determination rising in his voice. "I believe age doesn't matter. True love can overcome anything! I also want to prove to her that times have changed. People nowadays are much more open-minded. Relationships like ours aren't a big deal anymore. If we take that brave first step, we can have a happy ending."So, I came out here to gather opinions from people on the street. Sir, could you spare a few minutes to write down yo

Three days later, Murphy finally saw the Gemma he had been longing for day and night.Gemma lay in the cryo-casket with her eyes closed. Her expression looked serene, as if she were simply asleep.Looking at his small, slumbering rose inside the cryo-casket, Murphy could not help but recall countless nights spent coaxing her to sleep. Back then, she would lie in his arms just like this, with her long lashes curling upward, making her look as beautiful as a porcelain doll.The only difference now was that frost clung even to her eyelashes.Her complexion was so pale. It had to be freezing inside the cryo-casket."Gemma, don't be afraid. I'll join you soon. Gemma, I'm sorry I lied to you," Murphy said softly, reaching out as if to caress her pale cheek. But all he felt was the icy barrier of the cryo-casket's lid.He could not touch her—just as, so many times before, she had tried to reach his heart, only to be turned away."The truth is, Evangeline was never my girlfriend.
