The car door opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out.

Right then, my heart stirred.

It really was my ex-boyfriend, Orion. We were together for five years.

I had not seen him in two years, and he looked more mature.

He walked up to the front passenger seat and carefully helped a pregnant young woman out of the car.

“Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want me to get you a bottle of water?” He looked at her with concern and love.

My heart dropped.

He already had someone new by his side, and apparently, a child too. How wonderful…

It looked like they were about to get married at the city hall.

I did not know why the scene upset me so much, since I had expected this.

“Orion… is that you?” my mother asked in a trembling voice.

Orion turned around and snorted when he saw my mother. “I didn’t even have to look for you to exact my revenge. You showed up all by yourself.

“Where’s Summer?”

When my mother heard this, she started to stutter. “S-Summer, she’s…”

I had previously told her not to inform Orion about what happened to me.

I was hoping that she would be able to keep her mouth shut.

Otherwise, all my efforts would be wasted.

“Summer’s at work,” my mother finally said.

Then, she turned back and pulled the blanket tighter around me to hide my face.

“Hah, didn’t she marry a rich man? Why is she still working?” Orion said sarcastically.

“Or did that rich man abandon her because she had an abortion before?”

We had an ugly breakup back then.

So, it was no surprise that he was badmouthing me like this.

My mother’s face turned pale.

“Please don’t say that about Summer. She didn’t…”

My mother did not know how to explain things to him.

“What?”

Orion released the young woman’s hand and approached my mother.

“I remember every word she said and everything she did to me in the past.

“Summer’s a dirty and materialistic woman. Tell her that now I’m back, she won’t have another day of peace!”

Right after that, a gust of wind blew the blanket away from my head.

This revealed my dark and emaciated face.

“Ah! What is that?” the young woman next to Orion screamed.

He looked over and narrowed his eyes.

I wanted to block his view, but I could not do anything except panic.

Orion walked up to me to take a closer look. But before he could see anything, my mother covered my corpse with the blanket again.

“I’m sorry for frightening the both of you. This is my dead goddaughter.”

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Orion never caught a good glimpse.

Otherwise, he might have recognized me. After all, we had been together for five years.

“Hmph, this is karma. Ask Summer to beg me for my forgiveness. Maybe I’ll forgive her and let all of you off the hook.

“If she doesn’t, your lives are going to be hell.”

“Summer can’t see you anymore.

“You should let the past go, Orion. Forget about it,” my mother said bitterly.

She wanted to leave with my corpse after that, but Orion grabbed the trolley with an angry expression.

“Why?

“Why should I let the past go just because you say so? I’ll never forgive Summer. I’ve told you before that I won’t let any of you off the hook. Blame it on Summer!”

Then, he glanced at my dead body.

“Are you going to a morgue?

“Go ahead. Let’s see if anyone takes her in!”

My mother started to cry after she heard Orion’s cruel words.

“Summer didn’t do anything wrong. She didn’t do anything wrong,” she said and pushed the trolley forward.

I turned around to glance at Orion. Right then, the young woman next to him was comforting him.

They looked like a match made in heaven, and I felt a terrible emptiness in my heart.

My mother brought my corpse to the best funeral parlor in town, but they turned her away. They claimed to have too many corpses, so they did not have the capacity to take another one.

Following that, my mother went to other funeral parlors.

She visited them one after another, but they all gave her the same answer.

She cried and hugged me.

“Summer, you silly girl. Why did you do so much for him? Because of him, you can’t even look like you did before.”

Actually, Orion loved me immensely in the past, so it was worth it to me.
