My Husband Begged to Leave Me for His Dead Ex on My Deathbed Chapter 07

“She left in a hurry. Said she had somewhere to be.”

Jason felt worse.

What could she possibly have to do?

These past days, she’d been hovering around him.

“Jason? What’s wrong?”

Nina had followed him.

He forced the image of Stella from his mind and turned to Nina.

“Shouldn’t you be resting?”

“I’m nervous. Tomorrow’s huge. I don’t want to mess up.”

“I’ve got you.”

Jason shielded Nina. Glass smashed into the back of his skull.

Blood streamed down.

All of them Stella.

“Stella, once you move in, you’ll stay forever.”

“Stella, stay with me forever, okay? You never have to leave.”

“If you lose my bracelet, I’ll never forgive you.”

Stella was terrified of water.

At sixteen, he’d pretended to drown to scare her. She’d almost died trying to save him.

After that, she never went near the ocean.

His head roared.

“Nina. Did Stella push you?”
