After I Died from Cancer, the Cheating Husband Died in the FireChapter 1
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I took my medical records and immediately went to find my husband, Simon Pierce as I wanted to discuss the details of my funeral arrangements.
But I saw with my own eyes that he pressed a young secretary on his desk, engaging in intimate interactions repeatedly.
Nearby, a security guard on his patrol sighed.
"Everyone has their fate, indeed. Still, hundreds of college graduates came for interviews, but Mr. Pierce kept only this intern. Not only does she earn a four thousand dollar salary, but he also bought her an expensive mansion near the company!"
"Imagine that. A fresh graduate… makes this much and shares the CEO’s bed. That’s a blessing others can only dream of."
I glanced at her face. Her features bore a faint resemblance to mine.
I let out a hollow murmur, "What a blessing indeed."
After leaving the building, I made a phone call to confirm the arrangement for my whole body donation.
From this moment on, I, Lily Caldwell, no longer existed.
——
For hours, I wandered aimlessly along the roadside.
It was late evening by the time I returned home, but even before I entered the building, I heard his voice.
"Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Lily at all times? How could you lose track of her again?"
"If something happens to her, are you prepared to take responsibility?"
I could picture the scene already. Simon could not find me and his anger was directed at the servants as always.
I immediately made my way upstairs.
When the housekeeper, who was standing amidst the scattered stuff in the house, caught sight of me, her expression shifted as though a savior had finally appeared.
"Madam, you’re finally back! Sir was furious when he came home and didn’t see you. He almost tore the house apart."
"Now that he’s angry, only you can calm him down."
Without waiting for my response, the housekeeper all but pushed me toward Simon’s study.
The moment I stepped inside, I saw Simon seated at his desk. His long fingers tapped the phone screen swiftly, his lips curling into a barely contained smile.
I did not even need to guess who he was talking to.
Sensing someone’s presence, he looked up abruptly. When his eyes met mine, the smile vanished instantly. He turned his phone face down on the desk, his frown deepening with annoyance.
"Lily, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
