When I Can’t Say Goodbye to You Personally

After I married Aimee Joe as I had always wished, she didn't hesitate to reveal my whereabouts to please her dream man.

On the day I won the lawsuit, I was brutally retaliated against by criminals. They dismembered me and fed my internal organs to dogs.

When I was dismembered, Aimee called to rush me. "Miles, where are you? If you don't show up now, never show up in front of me again!"

She didn't know that I had already been dismembered and hidden by the criminals.

When she saw my remains, she cried and vowed to avenge me, to kill the dream man with her own hands...

Hearing the sound of my bones breaking, my hands and feet were lying on the ground in a strange shape, and I was like a puddle of mud.

The leader took out a steel bar and pierced it through my mouth, looking down at me.

"Mr. Dean, weren't you quite eloquent? Why aren't you talking now?"

I recognized him, a murderer who was just released last year.

Because of my strong defense and the last witness I found, he had to serve an extra twenty years in prison.

But how did he know I was here?

I whimpered, my mouth filled with shattered teeth, bleeding heavily.

He signaled, and the strong man next to him took the steel bar, raised it, and jabbed it into my mouth, forcing me to swallow all my teeth.

I slowly fell, blood spewing from my mouth and flowing all over the floor.

I strained to pry open my eyes and beheld a looming figure approaching from afar, hauling a massive load, the noise grating on my ears...

As he approached, each step he took echoed on the floor like a ticking clock, marking the seconds of my life.

Everything in front of me just went black, the pain hit me like a bomb, and my soul was torn from my body in a split second.

Even though I was already silent, they were still not satisfied and wanted to mutilate my body further.

As they surged upwards, their actions were swift, and I was swiftly gutted as they unearthed my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys and flung them onto the earth, where they were promptly seized by wolves.

A few people hurriedly ran into the house to get tools and accidentally touched the phone that had fallen on the ground.

I leaned in to listen, and Aimee's shrill voice entered my ears. "Miles! Today is my birthday, you forgot, didn't you? Where are you? If you don't show up, don't come back!"

I suddenly remembered that Aimee never cared about my whereabouts, but the day before I left, she suddenly asked about my whereabouts.

Due to my line of work, I am constantly vigilant and discreet, keeping my location a secret and never divulging it to anyone.

Except for that day, I told her.

I thought she was caring about me, but I never thought that she was sending me to my death.

Even after a decade, she still has a cold heart towards me.

A few strong men in black hurriedly smashed the phone, and Aimee's malicious words also stopped abruptly.

They divided my body and prepared to dispose of it.

But what I didn't expect was that the place they chose to dump my body was so audacious.

My soul uncontrollably drifted to the north, and when I stopped, I realized.

I came to Aimee, to the birthday party.

I watched her getting along with her dream man as if nothing happened, and Vincent Walker wiping her tears and tenderly holding her in his arms.

She told Vincent, "You're always so gentle and considerate, unlike Miles, who doesn't care about such an important occasion as my birthday!"

As each frame passed, it felt like a sharp silver needle was piercing my heart, causing the pain to overflow from deep within.

I floated in front of her, looking at her with pity.

"Aimee, am I really so indifferent to you?"

"Is it because, to you, I have no worth? You can't acknowledge all that I've done for you."

I stayed up several nights in a row to overturn the case for the client, and when I finally had a moment to breathe, I dared not rest.

Because Aimee's birthday was coming soon, I wanted to throw her an unforgettable birthday party.

I decorated the venue day and night, communicated with the flower shop, cake shop, and catering shop one by one, and personally confirmed the process. Finally, the day before the birthday party, I handed this carefully decorated venue to her.

She was so happy looking at the venue that she didn't notice me collapsing after a sigh of relief.

Afterward, I was sent to the hospital for an IV, and she casually said, "Your body is really weak."

I couldn't be with her all the time because of the court session today, but as soon as the court was adjourned, I rushed over here. I also prepared a surprise for her, which was my sincerest intention.

She said that I didn't care.

Is it me who doesn't care, or is it her who doesn't care?

Just as I was thinking, a dirty little girl burst into the venue crying.

I was shocked. She was our daughter, Nina Dean.

How did she end up like this?

"Waaa... Where is daddy? I want to find daddy! Where did daddy go?!" Nina was brought to Aimee by the maid. She cried even harder, kicking and screaming.

Aimee looked at her, full of reproach in her tone. "What kind of behavior is this for a girl? Running around and screaming! Miles has spoiled you!"

Nina struggled to her feet and pushed her away. "Don't you dare speak ill of my dad! I hate you! I hate my mom!"

The relatives at the party were all discussing, "Look at how dirty she is; it's embarrassing! She's a disgrace to the Dean family! Why didn't her mother discipline her?"

"She's out there blabbering about love to every guy she meets, not even bothering to look after her own kid at home. Thank goodness for Miles, or who knows how badly her daughter would have been picked on?"

Aimee was backed by Vincent. Overhearing the family expressing sympathy for Nina, she couldn't resist but swear, "Is this how Miles instructed you? No etiquette, rude, defiant, just like your dad!"

"Nora! Have Levi take her home! She needs to reflect on her actions!" Aimee called Nora over to take Nina away forcibly.

I raised Nina myself. I know her nature.

She's a good child, very sensible, definitely not like what Aimee said.

After Aimee gave birth to Nina, she ignored her.

So, now that I wasn't around, she used this chance to scold Nina publicly, but in reality, she was just trying to humiliate me.

I believed she held a motherly affection for Nina, but that affection becomes meaningless in the presence of her so-called facade.

Nina was sobbing and shrieking as she was dragged away, causing one of the cousins to finally speak out, "Aimee, you've gone too far! Miles may spoil you, but we won't. You're being so heartless to Nina, do you even think about our Dean family?"

Aimee appeared to have overheard a joke and burst into laughter. "She's my daughter. I will only discipline her as I deem necessary! Miles had insisted on marrying me, so what can the Dean family do? Humph! He brought this upon himself! You can't blame me!"

"Aimee, you're unreasonable!" The cousin stormed off angrily.

The Dean family members left one after another; the birthday party ended in disharmony.

Only Vincent had a slight smile on his lips. His goal had been achieved.
