After they queued up for the examination, Ella was intact from the accident.

Lowering her head in shame, she looked as if she had done something wrong.​

"Caleb, I..."

Instead of blaming, Caleb comforted her, "Fortunately, nothing happened; otherwise, it would be a big problem!"

So, he knew there would be a big problem if someone was injured by those sea creatures.

But he didn't know that my biggest trouble was that I lost my life.

After being comforted, she still looked worried.

"I don't want to go home, Caleb. I'm afraid that my father will know I left my sister at sea..." she said.

Caleb immediately called my dad, Michael Moore, and said that Ella and I were going to have a small gathering today, and that she would stay at our house.

He didn't suspect anything.

To him, I should satisfy all of her requests. He even thought I should give my house to her, let alone accommodate her for a night.

What I didn't expect was that he brought her back to our new house that we had not yet moved into.

He and I planned to have a child by the end of the year, so we bought a villa in a school district.

Ella lived in the house I had carefully decorated but never lived in for a single day.

As Caleb entered the house, I realized that someone was already living in the villa.

It was Caleb's mother, Melissa Shaw, who didn't visit my ward when I had an accidental miscarriage but reprimanded me for failing to protect my baby.

Such an insult was uncontrollable to me, so I told her that I wouldn't take care of her when she got old.

However, my words got on Caleb's nerves.

"That's my mother! You have to take care of her when she's old! Just accept whatever she says! Do you want me to kill her for such a small matter?" he said.

That was the most intense argument we had ever had.

For the sake of family harmony, he promised that Melissa wouldn't live with us.

It turned out that she had lived in this wonderful villa a long time ago.

Perhaps Melissa hated me, she also looked up and down at Ella with displeasure.

She asked, "Why did you bring her back? Where's Leah?"

I was a little surprised for a moment.

The first person who cared about me was Melissa, who hated me all the time.

How ironic!

Soon, I realized that maybe she perceived at the first glance that Ella stole Caleb from the experience she fought with Caleb's father's mistresses when she was young.

Ignoring her protest, Caleb led her to a guest bedroom.

He said, "Mom, she's staying here for the next few days. Please don't embarrass her. Michael will argue about this."

My ghost laughed miserably.

Melissa just sighed and quit stopping him.

"Caleb, you have been married, don't mess around with your marriage!" she said.

He looked speechless and glanced at her without saying anything.

She shook her head and sent me a message: [Leah, are you going to abandon your family? You have failed to protect your unborn baby, and now, are you going to give up your husband? Come to the villa and kick your bitchy sister out! She makes me uncomfortable!]

For the first time, I felt a hint of warmth amidst Melissa's curses.

This world was really crazy!

That night, Caleb returned to our little home instead of staying in that villa.

Finding out I didn't come back home, he had a momentary blank face and immediately cursed in rage.

"Damn it!"

After hesitating, he called me, but no one answered.

After hesitating, he called me, but no one answered. My cell phone was damaged in the water when I was attacked by sea creatures, so no one answered his call!

He didn't give up and started calling Isaac.

Still, no one answered.

Caleb was so inflamed that he punched the coffee table hard into pieces. It survived from being smashed by an iron ball five years ago.

It was just like our marriage, broken and bloody.

Caleb looked at his bleeding hand in astonishment, his eyelids twitching.

"Fuck!"

Gentle as he was, he would curse when I irritated him.

When I thought he was going to the hospital for bandaging, he collapsed on the sofa.

The blood stopped dripping after a while, but he forced a lot of blood out of his hand like a lunatic and only stopped when he grimaced in pain.

Then he took a photo of his injury and sent it to me.

Caleb: [Leah, I'm injured! You'll have half an hour to go home, or we're done!]

My ghost was laughing so hard beside him, and all his torture himself was to make me anxious and go home as soon as possible.

He thought I was messing around with Isaac!

I don't understand. Shouldn't he be outraged and catch us in a hotel or something?

What was he trying to prove by deliberately creating this miserable scene?

Was he trying to prove that I still loved him?

All my love for him had gone when he left me in the sea.

And it was impossible for me to love him when I became a ghost!

An hour passed, and he didn't get the response he wanted.

Clenching his teeth, he continued to send me messages: [When will you be back? If you don't come home right now, I will lock the door!]

I couldn't help but recall that he once locked the door after I got home from work overtime with Isaac. Without the key, I could only sleep in a hotel.

After that, I would report to him whenever I worked overtime in case he would do that again.

As a ghost, I could pass through this door without his permission and was free from begging him.

Caleb: [It doesn't matter if you don't go home. Just remember to take Ella to visit Alexa tomorrow, and don't be late!]

With all his anxiety and blood, he just worried I would turn down helping Ella study with Isaac's mother, Alexa Murphy.

Obviously, he was reluctant to leave the villa but returned to the house belonging to him and me for Ella.

Alexa was a famous painter.

Ella was an art student. If she could learn from a master like her, the fame of Alexa's student would guarantee her a promising future.

This was also the reason why Ella tried every means to please Isaac.

Unfortunately, he was a straightforward person and didn't buy her fawn at all.

She had no choice but to change her tactic: dealing with Caleb. She knew that I loved him so much that I would agree with whatever he said.

It killed three birds with one stone. Not only could she learn from Alexa even though she's not capable enough, she could disgust me and steal my man.

Caleb, who did not receive a reply either from Isaac or me, took Ella to Alexa's house the next day.

The moment she saw him, she asked him with red eyes, "Caleb, how is Leah? Is she okay now?"

Then, she turned her head back and wiped away her tears.

"Sorry, I'm so silly. If anything terrible happened to her, you would stay in her ward now. I'm glad she's okay," she said.

Caleb was stunned at first. Then, his eyes turned red with anger, and he said awkwardly, "Leah lied to you, Alexa!"

This answer startled her, and she asked in surprise, "Didn't you guys go diving together yesterday? Leah was in the hospital because of the accident, didn't you know?"

Now, it was his turn to be surprised. More precisely, he was irritated.

"Alexa, Leah's so terrible. She lied to you with Isaac!" he said.

Alexa seemed confused but was still worried and didn't believe him.

To scold me for being such a terrible liar, he called me.

However, the nurse who answered the phone notified him, "Excuse me, are you a family member of Leah Moore? She has been dead for 15 hours. Why haven't you come to the hospital now?"

His pupils contracted violently, his body stiffened, and even his voice trembled. "Who died?"
