After the Death of His Son, the Truth Revealed

I was at the children's clothing store that afternoon when I selected a blue suit.

Taking a suit in Zachary's usual size, I didn't hold back the tears.

It had been three days, and I still felt like it was a dream.

Zachary just left me like that.

I was just about to take the suit to the checkout when someone suddenly grabbed it out of my hand.

"Ethan, look, would Zach like it?"

I jerked my head up at the sound of Zach's name.

Kayla was smiling with her head cocked while Ethan stood across from her with a worried look on his face.

He looked at me quickly. "Julie, I have told you that I will visit Zachary at the hospital this afternoon, but why are you following us?"

My eyes instantly filled with disappointment.

Just now, I thought Ethan already knew about Zachary, so I...

But Kayla smiled and grabbed the suit out of my hand. "Julie, I don't blame you for stalking Ethan and I. My puppy Zach died, and Ethan was worried about me being heartbroken, so he accompanied me to buy a suit for my dog. Just give me this suit, please."

I stared at Kayla incredulously, thinking, "Why does she have a dog with the same name as Zachary?"

"Don't even think about it!"

I yanked that suit back like crazy.

That suit is in Zachary's favorite color. I asked the owner, and he said it was the only one in the store.

Zachary had already passed away. I didn't help him get what he wanted when he was alive, so I made sure to help him keep the suit he loved when he died.

Kayla seemed to be purposely trying to go against me, so she grabbed the suit tightly and wouldn't let go.

She looked over at Ethan miserably. "Ethan, it's Zach's suit."

"Julie! What are you doing here? Aren't you ashamed?"

Seeing that I was crazy, Ethan snarled at me, grabbed the suit out of my hand, and shoved me harshly.

"Kayla's upset about losing her favorite pet dog. You don't need a suit, so what's the point of taking it from her?"

I cried uncontrollably and couldn't hold back my rage at him any longer.

"Ethan!

"My son was killed by both of you, and I will never forgive you!"

Ethan was slightly stunned. After a moment, he sneered and taunted me, "Julie, you will say anything to pretend to be pathetic.

"Zachary's lying in the hospital, but why did you curse him?

"Women like you don't deserve to be a mother. If you continue to act like this, I'm going to take Zachary away, and you'll never see him again!"

I crouched down in despair, with tears all over my face.

I couldn't see Zachary anymore.

I glared at Ethan and Kayla, who had no conscience.

They obviously knew it was Zachary's name, and Kayla had to name her pet dog the same.

I hated them so much!

I hoped that the lightning would strike these two ruthless people dead.

Ethan had already snatched the suit out of my hand and handed it to Kayla, who was sobbing.

Before I could grab it back, I got a call from the crematorium.

"Ms. Davis, someone has taken your son Zachary's place, and it is your husband. He asked us to give up the place to a dog to be cremated first."

His words instantly made me jump up from the floor. I wiped away my tears and slapped fiercely towards Ethan.

"You're an animal!"

I would have to stand in line at the crematorium for a long time to get a place.

It was so hot right now, and I didn't want Zachary to leave smelling like something he didn't like.

He was clearly a kid who liked to keep neat and tidy.

He was so eager to be liked by his father, but not only was he left to die on the road by his father, but he was not even given a place in the crematorium after his death.

"You're an animal, and you're not a human being!

"You got Zachary killed, but you're also going to take away Zachary's cremation place for a bitch's dog."

I cried so hard that I couldn't catch my breath.

I even spat out a mouthful of blood suddenly.

Ethan had been sneering when he suddenly froze. He looked at the blood I spat out in shock and was filled with panic.
