All Chapters of Going Out With a Bang: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

After the bomb exploded, the entire room turned into a sea of fire. Flames shot skyward, instantly engulfing my body.The last image I saw was my wife, Harriet Philips, holding my blast shield firmly in front of Jeremy Sawyer, her first love.When I regained consciousness, I had become a spirit tethered to Harriet's side. She was holding Jeremy's hand, which was slightly scorched by the flames, and gently blowing on it."Jeremy, your hand is all red from the burn. Let's hurry to the hospital to get it bandaged," she said with utmost concern.Upon hearing this, a wave of bitterness flooded my heart.Anyone could see the deep and affectionate bond between them. However, Harriet had been my wife for three years. Ironically, she had never shown such anxiety or concern for me.The redness on Jeremy's hand was barely noticeable, but Harriet was overly worried. In contrast, she hadn't spared me a glance when I was engulfed in flames.Jeremy seemed to be recovering from immense fear and

Jeremy looked at Harriet like he had something to say, but he ultimately held himself back.Harriet tapped his forehead lightly and spoke in a doting tone. "Come on, Jeremy. Is there anything that you can't tell me?"Jeremy clenched his fists wordlessly as if mustering his courage to speak. Finally, he said, "Hatty, Aaron has always been the ace of the bomb disposal unit. With you assisting him this time, how could the bomb have exploded? Could it be that…"He trailed off and didn't finish his sentence, leaving room for endless speculation.A wave of fury surged within me, and I clenched my hands into fists. I fervently wished that I could charge forward and give him a good punch.Even after my death, Jeremy was still trying to besmirch me at every turn. He was planting seeds of doubt in Harriet's mind.As a police officer, I understood my duty and never allowed personal feelings to interfere with my work. Even though I already knew Harriet didn't love me, I thought she would at

My body had been burned beyond recognition by the fire from the explosion. All that remained was a charred corpse that resembled a lump of charcoal.I turned my head away, unable to bear the sight of the horrifying sight of my own remains. Even now, I could still vividly recall the scene during the explosion.The shockwave from the blast had shattered my internal organs. Blood had gushed out continuously from the corners of my mouth. The raging flames engulfed me, turning me into a fireball. My body had already gone numb from the intense pain that it no longer hurt.At that moment, Harriet had stood firmly in front of Jeremy, holding the blast shield that belonged to me. Even in death, I hadn't spared me a single glace, and I was supposed to be her husband.Harriet's pupils contracted, and she instinctively took a few steps back while mumbling, "This… This can't be true. You must have made a mistake! Aaron can't be dead. I'll call him right now and have him come back immediately."

I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "You were right. In Harriet's heart, I will never compare to Jeremy. Take me away from this world. I can't stay here another second."The system's tone was one of exasperation. "Are you going to let them off so easily? You saved their lives. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also caused your death and tarnished your name. Don't you want revenge?"I fell silent. Although I had come to this world to complete a mission, my love for Harriet had been genuine. I had given her my whole heart.I could never forget the day she was injured. Seeing her covered in blood had made me feel as though my heart had stopped. When the doctor had declared there was no hope of saving her, my knees had nearly given out.Despite the system's repeated attempts to dissuade me, I had insisted on giving my final chance at resurrection to Harriet.When she woke up, we experienced the happiest time together before Jeremy's return. I had thought that was our happ

The collection of evidence tore apart Jeremy's pretense.With a pained expression, he grabbed Harriet's hand and said pitifully, "Hatty, I didn't want to hurt him, but every time I thought about you being with Aaron every day, I was consumed by jealousy. I couldn't control myself."I was stunned by Jeremy's shamelessness. Even now, he still had the audacity to make excuses.But the ridiculous part was that Harriet believed him.Her tears gradually stopped, and a look of confusion appeared on her face. "But you still shouldn't have killed Aaron. I…"Jeremy seized the opportunity. "Hatty, you're Aaron's wife. As long as you forgive me, I'll be fine. Everything I did was for us to be together. I know I've wronged Aaron. I promise I'll honor him every year on his death anniversary."Harriet's resolve began to waver.I watched everything unfold. Even though I had long known of Harriet's double standards, my heart still ached.I had been by her side for six years. Did those years mea
