After My Groom Adopted Her Child, I Vanished

Returning home, there was no sign of Kolton Long.

As soon as I got back, I headed straight to my bedroom. In the farthest corner of a drawer was my college acceptance letter. In my previous life, after getting married, Kolton was transferred to the Southern Army Division, and inexplicably, a month later, my mother-in-law fell ill. At the time, I was also pregnant, so I gave up the chance to study in the Pacific Northwest.

This had always been a deep regret from my past life.

As I gently touched the acceptance letter, my eyes were drawn to my name and the school’s emblem in bold blue ink, and I nearly burst into tears. I remembered that in my previous life, I was already on my deathbed when Bailee Diaz came to see me with my son. It seemed as if she knew my time was running out, so she visited every day.

Her true nature came out when we were alone. Her words cut deep: "So what if you held the title of his wife? Throughout his life, I was always the one by his side. You were nothing more than a baby factory and a free caregiver for the elderly. I should thank you for giving me such a wonderful son."

She continued on, and the sad truth was that I didn’t have the strength to curse her. I had to watch helplessly as my son treated her like his real mother, the two putting on a charade of a loving mother and son in front of me every day. Even when I was finally on the brink of death, my son finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Aunt Bailee finally has a chance at happiness now."

I shook my head and carefully put the acceptance letter away.

The past can't be undone.
