In my previous life, my husband faked his death, took all the property and ran off with his mistress, leaving me alone to repay the debts. My life was a mess!
My vicious mother-in-law refused to let me go. In order to immigrate abroad and live a carefree life, she deliberately gave me drugs to cause me to have a miscarriage.
She did not want me to give birth to a grandson for her.
So, when my life was starting over again, I looked at my husband who was faking his death and made a decision in my heart.
In your previous life, you faked your death to trick me. That was why when you really die in this life, I would bury you for real.

“Sister-in-law, you must take care of yourself. No one wants this to happen, but we have tried our best. Erwin has passed away despite failed rescue efforts."
I was helped to come to my senses and the body of my husband, Erwin Chavez, was pushed in front of me.
He was covered with a white cloth and laid motionless.
Erwin's brother-in-law, Foster Armstrong, the doctor who performed the emergency treatment, came over, took off his glasses and couldn't help wiping away tears.
“Sister-in-law, Erwin is gone. You have to be strong. I'm afraid you can't bear it. Just sign this death notice. I'll push him to the morgue and have him cremated.”
Foster was very anxious and had already prepared paper and pen before he came to me.
I picked up the pen in a daze and saw the rhinestone manicure I had just done on my slender fingers, as well as the date on the death notice that went back five years ago.
I was absolutely sure that I had been reborn!
Looking at the death notice, everything about my previous life seemed to be still vivid in my mind.
That rainy night, Erwin came back late from a social event and was sent for emergency treatment in the middle of the night.
Foster rescued him all night and told me in the morning that he had a heart attack due to staying up late, drinking, irregular lifestyle and diet. He eventually died after failed rescue efforts.
When I heard the sad news, I cried so hard that I fainted.
When I woke up again, Erwin had completely disappeared from my life. He was cremated and finally handed to me. It was just an urn weighing three pounds, without even a last word.
I was lamenting the unfairness of fate when I found out that I was unexpectedly pregnant.
I originally wanted to leave that posthumous child as a descendant for Erwin, but who knew that after Erwin died, he left me a loan of nearly 1.4 million.
Just two days after he died, bank managers came to my door one after another to collect debts from me.
Because Erwin deliberately used my name to take out a loan during his lifetime, my name was written as the legal representative of most of the projects he ran.
I was unable to repay the loan, resulting in all the houses and cars under my name being mortgaged and reclaimed. I had nowhere to go and had to ask my mother-in-law, Victoria Chavez, for help.
Not only did my mother-in-law not help, she also tricked me into taking abortion pills. She wanted to solve the problem between me and my pregnant belly. Then, she completely cut me off, so that she could immigrate to a foreign country alone and lived a carefree life.
After the miscarriage, I dragged my overwhelmed body and my increasingly worse days into living in a cheap rental house, working three or four jobs every day to repay the remaining debts.
The days were so dark at one point that there was no end and it was extremely hopeless.
But just five years later, I saw an even more desperate scene.
On the street, Erwin came back to life. He was getting younger and richer. He walked past me in a swagger with his arm around a graceful woman.
The two of them got into the luxury car, chatting, laughing and throwing the plastic bottles in the car to me as if giving alms, without recognizing me at all.
I ran up like crazy, opened my arms, stopped their car and identified myself.
Unexpectedly, Erwin did not hide it and directly admitted that he had faked his death in order to elope with his mistress. He wanted to get rid of this trouble of mine and clear his debts at the same time.
I was so angry that I vomited blood and roared on the spot, but Erwin was still smiling happily with his mistress.
In order to please the mistress, Erwin stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards me.
Although he didn't intend to kill me, I was too emotionally agitated and deeply shocked. As a result, I died.
I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes again, I would be reborn.
Recalling that, I held the death notice tightly and made a decision in my heart that went against my believe.
In your previous life, you faked your death to trick me. So, just die in this life for real, my dear husband. I would make sure to bury you with much love.
Chapter 2
“Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, just sign it,” Foster urged me several times, making me come to my senses and deliberately snatching away the death notice.
I pretended to be sad and walked to Erwin, suddenly opened the white curtain, cried and cursed.
“Husband, you died so unjustly! You are so cruel, abandoning me like this. Don't you want this family anymore?”
During the chaos, I saw a bruise and a needle hole on Erwin's arm. I guess he had been given anesthetic and was pretending to be dead.
But if you looked closely, you could see that Erwin's belly was rising and falling in an orderly manner.
In my previous life, I cried until my eyes were blurry and I was heartbroken. I didn't care about those things at all. As a result, I was deceived by them.
Thinking of that, I slapped Erwin in the face.
“Sister-in-law!”
Foster was so scared that he trembled and hurried over to pull me up.
“Sister-in-law, your husband has gone, please don't be like this. We can understand your sadness, but the dead are more important."
Foster was afraid that I would notice something unusual, so he handed me a piece of gauze to wipe my tears.
I carefully avoided the gauze, pretended to be out of control and walked around to Erwin, slapping him twice.
I remembered that in my previous life, it was Foster who handed me a piece of gauze to wipe my tears. As soon as it got close to my eyes and nose, I was instantly knocked out. When I woke up again, Erwin had escaped.
After that, Foster handed me the gauze several times, but I refused to take it. He could only throw it on the table and turned around to pour me a glass of water.
Wow, so many tricks waiting for me?
I guessed there were sleeping pills in that glass of water.
I deliberately didn't drink, avoided him without leaving a trace and even broke the cup, which made Foster so anxious that he frowned.
I touched Erwin's body and deliberately asked in surprise, “He has been dead for a while, right? How come his body is still warm, like he is not dead yet?”
Foster explained awkwardly, “This… It's summer, the body is not likely to get hypothermic and he died not long ago, thar’s why the temperature is normal.”
I nodded and immediately took out my phone to search for the phone number of the organ donation center on the Internet.
“Hello, is this the organ donation center? Please come over immediately. It's at First Hospital. Yes, my husband just died not long ago and many of his organs can still be used.”
As soon as the phone was hung up, Foster's face changed suddenly.
“Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you donating your husband’s organs?”
“Yes, this is what Erwin meant. He told me many times before he died that he wanted to be a useful person to society after his death. He agreed to donate his organs after his death, which can be regarded as accumulating merit for his future.”
Foster subconsciously refuted me, “Impossible. Erwin will never agree to donate his organs.”
“Brother-in-law, how could you know? I am Erwin's wife, I definitely know what he is thinking. Besides, you are also a doctor, you should know how many lives Erwin can save by donating his organs, shouldn’t you?”
With my insistence, people from the organ donation center quickly arrived.
I begged them with tears and pretended to be selfless.
“I really can't bear to do this, but this is my husband's last wish before he died. Please remove all his usable organs so that his life can continue in another way. This will also be a kind of comfort to me,” I said in fake tears.
Chapter 3
“Thank you so much. We thank you on behalf of the patients waiting for organs.”
The people at the organ donation center thanked me excitedly. It was probably the first time they had met a family member like me.
They were afraid that I would go back on my word, so they quickly took out the organ donation notice for me to sign.
Just when I was about to sign my name, Foster ran over and stopped me.
“No, sister-in-law, you are violating the custom of Erwin's hometown. You cannot donate organs. If you do this, Erwin will become an incomplete person and will not be able to enter the ancestral tomb.”
I said indifferently, “That is not the problem even if he can’t get in, as long as he can help many people in this world. I am sure he would be even more honored if he donated his organs, maybe Heaven will accept him in the end.”
After that, I deliberately asked the people at the organ donation center again, “Oh, right. After the organs are donated, can the remaining body be used as specimens for research? My husband is a very kind person, he is willing to donate everything he has.”
After hearing what I said, Foster's face turned dark and then white, his body was much paler than before, but suddenly his face turned red in anger. He was simply out of control.
I also knew that Foster used a special anesthetic on Erwin. Although he was in a coma at that time, his senses were still very sensitive and he could hear all our conversations.
Well, I really wanted him to hear enough.
Let him have a good taste of what it felt like to be at the gates of hell and jumping around in front of the King of Hell.
Foster got anxious and rushed over to stop me, wishing he could tie me up with a rope.
“No, sister-in-law. I am sure you won't be able to explain to his mother when the time comes.”
He was almost going crazy, fearing that he would really be stabbed in the back and end Erwin's life. Because, if it really happened, his sister would have a miserable life for the rest of her life.
Right, Erwin’s mistress was Foster’s biological sister, Jane Armstrong.
In the end, Foster deliberately brought up my mother-in-law, Victoria, to pressure me.
He said he had called Victoria, but she firmly disagreed and was rushing over to see Erwin for the last time.
I thought about it and decided not to continue making trouble. I just waited for Victoria to come and act.
If the organs were really donated, Erwin 's conspiracy to fake his death would be exposed soon. In that case, the show would be interrupted halfway through and it would not be good to watch.
Not long after, Victoria rushed over.
She sat at the casino table all day, dressed in bright colors and looked as ostentatious as a colorful fluttering moth. How could she be sad about the death of her son?
When Victoria heard that his son had died, he rushed in and rolled up his sleeves to teach me a lesson.
“You are such a lawless bastard! When will it be your turn to make decisions at home?
“For so many years, you've been no match for a chicken. At least chickens can lay eggs, while you can do nothing.
“Look! Still there's nothing moving in your belly, right? Because you haven't given birth to a child for my Chavez Family, you cannot meddle in my son's affairs.
“Don’t dare you donate my son's organs without my permission. If you dare to donate my son's organs, I will make you buried with him.”
Victoria was a shrew and she never stopped talking since she came in.
Not only did she scold me, she also scolded the person who ran away from the organ donation center.
Seeing Victoria coming, Foster finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While they were not paying attention, I took the gauze that Foster had placed on the table, deliberately knelt down and cried to apologize to Victoria.
“I'm sorry, Mom. I just can't bear to let Erwin go. I want to see his life continue in another way. It's all my fault for not thinking it through. Don't cry and don't hurt yourself.”
I pretended to hug Victoria, wiped her tears with gauze and placed it on her mouth and nose.
Foster was so anxious that he kept calling for Victoria, but it was too late. She fainted after taking a few breaths.
