Book 2 Reborn On The Day My
Husband Faked His Death
“Patient suffered a sudden stroke. Despite all efforts, he was declared dead,” Dr. Lena, my husband’s childhood sweetheart, coldly stated.
I felt as though I had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Not because of my husband’s death, but because I had been reborn.
I watched with cold detachment as my son and his “Aunt Lena” pretended to mourn by my husband’s supposed deathbed.
In my previous life, it was their impeccable acting that had deceived me for years.

This time, the scam would play out again but I would never fa for it!!
I looked at my husband, feigning deathbon on the bed, and couldn’t help but sneez:You likeeke playing dead, do you? Then go ahead andiva die!
I quickly masked my emotions, putting on a mournful expression as I rushed to myy husband Nick Herty’s bedside. I yanked off out the white sheet covering him and begaman slapping his chest, hard.
“My honey! How could you leave me likee this? Wuuu…”
I cried out in apparent despair, butt underneath, I was hitting him hard enough to make his chest thud with each strike.
“I told you to smoke less, drink less. Why

I kept alternating slaps across his face, and within moments, his face was flushed red from the blows.
Let’s see how long you can keep up this act!
My son quickly covered my husband’s head with the sheet again and positioned himself in front of him.
“Mom, stop being so paranoid. Dad is already gone. Let him rest in peace. Aunt Lena is a doctor–what she says has to be true, right?”
Of course, it’s a lie!
In my previous life, it was this very Lena who used her position to join forces with Nick Herty to stage this fake death to escape.

It was also her who, seeing I wasn’t dying fast enough, removed my oxygen tube while I was lying on my deathbed!
And my own son… he was an accomplice!
Just before my death, I heard my son, who had graduated from a prestigious university, laughing on the phone.
“Hey, Dad, it’s me. Yeah, Mom’s almost gone. I got her a huge insurance policy, so you and Aunt Lena should hurry home.”
This ungrateful wretch!
“Nick is truly gone, sister–in–law, you must have misjudged it just now. Let’s not disturb him–let him rest in peace, Lena said urgently, her voice trembling with what seemed like fear that the ruse might be

exposed.
“Alright, since your father is already gone…”
I feigned compliance, and as they sighed in relief, I suddenly turned the conversation. “Then we should donate his organs–let them benefit others.”
My words hung in the air, and both of them lost their composure.
“No!”
“Mom! How can you be so heartless? Dad’s body hasn’t even cooled, and you’re already thinking about donating his organs?”
Ha! So, they’re worried that Nick Herty’s fake death might be discovered, aren’t they?
Lena, too, began to panic.

“Donate Nick’s organs? How dare you even call yourself a wife? You’ve already caused his death, and now you want him to have no peace in the afterlife?”
I pretended to wipe away a tear.
“This was my husband’s dream. He’d said before that, when he died, he wanted to give back to society by donating his organs.”
“That’s nonsense! Nick never said anything like that!” Lena snapped back at me.
“You, an outsider, how could you possibly know what my husband said? He told me himself–he wanted to donate all his organs, even his corneas. And in the end, his body was to be donated to a hospital to serve as a medical teaching cadaver.”

Lena was taken aback by my boldness, her confidence faltering. “I grew up with Nick for so many years, and he never once said anything like that. If you don’t believe me, ask Orville–Orville’s Nick’s son. He’ll surely know.”
Lena grasped my son’s arm, seeking his support.
