“Yeah, Mom, I’ve never heard him say that. Besides, Aunt Lena has been with Dad since childhood–she must know better than you how his body should be handled.”
The nerve of him! After eighteen years of marriage, my son actually believes an outsider knows my husband better than I do?
He’s now desperately urging me to bury Nick Herty as soon as possible so that his father’s body wouldn’t be disturbed any longer.
Disturbed?
In my past life, while I was home getting the household register, they swapped him out,

and I ended up guarding a jar of milk powder for the rest of my life!
This time, if I let him rest in peace, I might as well call myself a coward!
I was resolute–I wasn’t going to let Nick Herty die peacefully here. I called the nurse standing nearby.
“Could you please tell your supervisor that
Want to donate my husband’s body? Have them come over as soon as possible.”
As I spoke, I caught a flicker of movement from the sheet covering his body.
I didn’t need to guess–I knew just how terrified Nick Herty must be right now!
But he could lie there and panic all he wanted. If he moved even a little, I would

know it was all a ruse.
His death act was about to be exposed.
While waiting for the doctor, I stayed by Nick Herty’s “corpse,” sobbing uncontrollably, all the while slapping his body–several strikes landing directly in very sensitive areas.
My son and Lena were busy trying to stop me, exchanging frantic glances.
I was curious–what would they do next?
The hospital worked quickly. Not long after I requested the donation, they sent a special team to handle the procedure.
I remained on my husband’s “body” crying in despair.
“My love, how could you leave me like this?

Even though you never brushed your teeth or washed your feet, and that…other problem, we were a couple! How could you just abandon me?”
The doctors, upon witnessing the scene, dared not intervene. They stood by quietly, as if savoring the drama but unwilling to show their reactions.
Once I finished crying, I sank my teeth into Nick Herty’s arm.
The bite carried all the resentment from their deception, as well as the six years of suffering from my past life. I nearly tore off a chunk of flesh.
Still not moving? Impressive control.
Pretending not to be able to bear looking at my husband’s “body” any longer, I turned my

face away and motioned for the doctors to take him.
“My husband died from a stroke–take his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and even his corneas.”
“Never mind the kidneys, they probably won’t be of much use to anyone else,” one of the doctors muttered.
Doctors were professionals–they usually wouldn’t laugh unless they couldn’t help themselves.
My son blocked the bed.
“You can’t touch him! My dad never wanted this! If you try, I’ll report you all!”
The doctors exchanged glances, then turned

“Who are you to the deceased? Would you like to confirm before we proceed with the process?”
“I’m his son! I forbid the donation!”
My son stood protectively in front of Nick Herty, desperate to keep the doctors from noticing anything unusual.
“Yes! No donation! That woman is lying -Nick never said anything about organ donation!”
Lena tried to intervene, but she was in her white coat, and the doctors shot her disapproving looks.
“Aren’t you a doctor here? Why are you meddling in someone else’s business? We need to speak with the family.”

Lena was momentarily speechless, retreating reluctantly.
“Doctors, I’m his legal wife. I’ve already filled out my husband’s information on the organ donation app. I have the right to make this decision.”
I showed them the confirmation screen of my registration.
Shameless woman! Let’s see who dares to
touch my son!”
At that moment, a sharp, fiery voice echoed down the hallway…
