My Boyfriend Restored My Corpse

My mother rang the doorbell, and Orion opened the door.

My mother stared at him with teary eyes.

“Orion, none of the funeral parlors are willing to take my goddaughter.”

“I’m aware. I’m responsible for that,” he said knowingly.

“I already told you. I’ll only consider letting you off the hook if Summer begs for my forgiveness.”

If I could, I would apologize to him.

However, I could no longer do that.

My mother’s tears streamed down her face.

“I’m here to ask you for a favor. Can you please help me restore my goddaughter’s corpse?”

Orion sneered. “Is Summer the one who suggested you look for me? Why didn’t she come here herself? Or is she too embarrassed to show up?”

My mother lowered her head as she grabbed the trolley handle tightly.

“Summer… really can’t come here anymore.”

“She’s just too ashamed to face me, isn’t she? Ask her to meet me, and I’ll consider your request!”

Orion seemed furious.

My mother cried even harder, and I knew she was at her wits’ end.

I wanted to tell her to forget about restoring my corpse. She could just bury me.

My mother fell silent for a while, and Orion turned to head back inside.

Just then, my mother fell to her knees with a loud thud.

“Orion, I beg you. Please help me. I just want my goddaughter to leave this world beautifully.

“I’ll do anything if you help me.”

Orion stopped, and there was a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

“I don’t want you to do anything. I just want Summer to beg for my forgiveness.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll ask her to do that.”

My mother was probably desperate, so she chose to lie to him.

However, she would not be able to keep it up.

Regardless, all I could do was watch.

Orion then asked my mother to bring my corpse into his house.

The young woman that we had met during the day was not around. I assumed that she was sleeping. He seemed to love her very much.

My mother put my corpse down in the living room. Finally, she extended her shaking hand to caress my cheek.

“Orion, please do your best to restore this corpse.”

“Fine, but I’m adding another condition. Not only do I want Summer to apologize to me, but I also want her to be my maid.”

“Al… Alright,” my mother murmured and left.

The living room was quiet once she was gone.

Orion pulled the blanket away from my corpse. Apart from not having any hair left, I was black and bruised all over. I was incredibly thin as well, so it was hard to tell what I used to look like.

However, Orion seemed to find something familiar about me. When he looked at my shrunken face, his pupils contracted.

To test his suspicions, he put on a pair of gloves and grabbed my right hand.

I had a couple’s tattoo on my right wrist.
