Only After I Died, Did She Say She Loved Me

As long as the thugs hadn't found and destroyed it, if Sofia called, she would know I was already dead.

But after a few seconds, she canceled the call, smirking coldly. "Playing hard to get? Let's see how long you last before begging for my forgiveness."

"But even if you kneel before Calvin, I won't forgive you."

I let out a hollow laugh.

She didn't know I was already dead.

Even if I wanted to apologize, it wasn't possible anymore.

And yet, why she felt entitled to cheat on me, use my heart to save her lover, and still expect me to grovel?

It was my fault—I had tolerated too much, letting her trample over me without any respect.

I screamed at her in rage, but she couldn't hear me.

At that moment, Sofia arrived at the hospital and walked into a room where I saw Calvin lying pale and exhausted.

When he saw her, his face lit up, but when he reached out to her, he collapsed, coughing violently.

Seeing this, Sofia immediately ran up, held his hand, and regardless of the stains on Calvin's hospital gown from coughing, she struggled to carry him back to bed.

Seeing this, I felt a sharp pang in my heart. Despite knowing their betrayal, it still hurt to witness.

When she was with me, except for the year we got married, Sofia had always kept her distance from me.

But here she was, holding him without hesitation.

I used to think she had a germaphobia. I had clearly misjudged her.

Then, Sofia wiped the saliva from Calvin's lips and apologized, "Calvin, I'm sorry. There's been a gruesome murder case, and I've been fully focused on solving it."

Calvin sighed. "If even you, the forensic genius, find it difficult, I can't imagine how horrible it must be."

Hearing this, Sofia told him all about the case.

When Calvin learned that the victim's heart was missing, he touched his chest.

"Sofia, do you think... it could be mine?"

Hearing this, Sofia froze for a moment before hugging him tightly.

"Calvin, don't think too much. There is no such coincidence in the world. Besides, I obtained it through legal channels. It couldn't be the victim's."

Listening to her blatant lies, Calvin nodded happily.

"Well, if it weren't for you, I'd be dead. I'll believe anything you say."

Sofia nodded gently.

Their gazes met, full of affection.

But then, Calvin's expression grew worried.

Sofia asked, "What's wrong, Calvin?"

"Sofia, your husband is terrifying. We just hugged each other for a while after not seeing each other for a long time, and he actually wanted to beat me to death."

"Why would you marry someone like him? What if he comes back to hurt me?"

Hearing this, Sofia's face darkened with anger. "He's always been small-minded and couldn't stand seeing me with you. But don't worry. This won't happen again. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Calvin's eyes lit up. "Sofia, does that mean..."

After a moment of silence, Sofia's eyes showed determination as she said, "When he returns, I'll divorce him."

"Really!?"

Sofia gazed at Calvin affectionately and nodded.

They kissed again.

Afterwards, she deleted my name from her call log without hesitation.

I was stunned.

I hadn't expected her to plan on divorcing me for Calvin.

Three years of marriage, and it had come to this.

But I was already dead. She'd probably be happy—there would be no need for a divorce anymore.

At that moment, Sofia's phone rang.

After a few words of reassurance to Calvin, she stepped out to answer it.

Andy's urgent voice came through.

"Sofia, have you reached your husband, Andrew?"

Hearing my name, Sofia, who had just decided to divorce me, frowned, "Andy, this is my family matter, you..."

Before she could finish, Andy interrupted her. "I'm not trying to meddle, but we've found a lead on the missing heart."

"It might be connected to your husband, Andrew."
