I lived a dehumanizing life in prison, ultimately dying a tragic death behind bars. In the end, I never understood why my mother-in-law chose to take her own life. Given a second chance, I would never allow such a fate to repeat itself.
As Fu Jing changed clothes, I hurried to rummage through the bedroom closet. In my previous life, Fu Jing had hidden that bottle of pesticide at the very bottom of the closet, labeling it clearly. I searched thoroughly but couldn't find the bottle.
Fu Jing finished changing his shoes and prepared to head to the hospital with lunch. I walked over and took the lunchbox from his hands. "I'll go."
Fu Jing paused for a moment, looking up at me with a flicker of complex emotions in his eyes. He stepped closer and wrapped me in his arms. "Wife, thank you." He placed a kiss on my forehead before turning to leave for work.
Watching him walk away, I felt a wave of disorientation wash over me. In my past life, Fu Jing also called me "wife," but it was always laced with sarcasm and mockery. He never shied away from pushing me into the spotlight, subjecting me to the scorn of others. Yet now, he was so gentle, as if we were a loving couple.
I arrived at the hospital room to find my mother-in-law alone. She stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to speak. I opened her report card; all indicators were normal. The stomach examination showed no traces of pesticide or sleeping pills.
In my previous life, by the time I reached the hospital, my mother-in-law had already passed away.
The doctor said she drank pesticide and swallowed sleeping pills, but despite the rescue efforts, she died. However, now my mother-in-law's indicators are all normal; how could she suddenly commit suicide?
As I pondered this, my friend Lin Yan walked in. She entered with a bright smile and said, " Yuanyuan, you really care for your mother-in-law."
"You've taken care of her day in and day out for so many years; I admire you." She opened a lunchbox to make it easier for me to feed her.
"Your mother-in-law is truly something; you've been so good to her, yet she still has such thoughts."
"I'll ask the doctor later if there’s a specialist who can help with her inability to speak," I replied, nodding as I scooped up some porridge with a spoon, blowing on it lightly before bringing it to my mother-in-law's lips.
In my past life, Lin Yan was Fu Jing's attending physician, and their relationship was ambiguous. They had an affair behind my back, and when I discovered it, Fu Jing was furious and accused me of invading his privacy. He claimed that it was my strong personality that drove him to betray me.
Lin Yan looked at me with disdain and said, "Zhao Yuan, you’re truly an unreasonable madwoman. Fu Jing prefers women like me—gentle and understanding—not someone like you, a domineering shrew."
"You deserve to be betrayed." Her eyes sparkled with triumph, and I felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at her.
But at this moment, she sat beside me, chatting about work-related anecdotes. Unable to hold back, I asked, " Lin Yan, do you think I'm good to my mother-in-law?"
Lin Yan looked surprised. "Of course you are! You've taken care of her for so many years; everyone sees that."
I shook my head. "But I don't think it's good."
Lin Yan's expression stiffened for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.
"Of course it's good, Yuanyuan. You mustn't doubt yourself," she said firmly, nodding to emphasize the credibility of her words.
I lowered my gaze to the bowl of porridge in front of me, the steam rising and blurring my vision.
Why was Lin Yan's reaction so different from what it had been in my previous life?
After the incident with Grandma, she had been the first to jump out and blame me, turning against me faster than flipping a page in a book.
She looked at me coldly, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Zhao Yuan, stop pretending to be innocent. I've had enough of you."
"It’s clearly your own incompetence that couldn't keep Fu Jing's heart, yet you blame it all on Auntie."
"You love yourself the most. You don’t even trust your own husband; you deserve to be betrayed."
