My Husband Begged to Leave Me for His Dead Ex on My Deathbed Chapter 06

At the hospital, Yvonne Young felt a hollowness in her chest.

A dread with no source.

Nina was gracious.

“Mom, you should see your daughter.”

Yvonne hardened.

“She made her bed. You’re too kind. This world is cruel.”

Nina cried with gratitude.

“Thank you, Mom.”

“Rest. Tomorrow’s your big day.”

Yvonne had lived soft. A gentle husband, a biddable daughter.

She didn’t understand.

She’d give her a few days to think.

The lesson would stick.

Jason found the rooftop.

He lit a cigarette, watching the smoke drift.

Something was off. His chest felt empty. His wrist felt bare.

When Stella and Nina fell in, his first instinct had been to save Stella.

He loved Nina. Why did he feel so wrong?

He forced an answer.

Nina grew up by the sea. She could swim.

He didn’t know if Stella could.

If Stella died, his engagement would be delayed.

“Right. That’s it.”

He turned to leave.

A plane roared overhead.

Something pulled him toward Stella’s ward.

“Sir, who are you looking for?”

He didn’t know. He rubbed his fingers together.

Maybe just to check she was alive.

He wasn’t stupid. The servants had hinted at a deeper past.

She wasn’t just a family friend like she claimed.

“Bed three,” the nurse said. “She checked out this morning.”

“Checked out?”
