After death, my soul lingered in this world.
The system explained that it would take some time to establish the space–time tunnel,
and told me to wait.
I floated on the sea surface. Leo, carrying my pale corpse, passed through my transparent soul and walked towards the shore, looking lost.
Tommy ran up and grabbed Leo’s wet clothes.
“Uncle, how’s Mom? Is she okay?”
Even a child knew to come and check on me, but Jack hadn’t even spared me a glance.
He was convinced that I was just throwing a tantrum, and said quite arrogantly,
“Mia, have you had enough of pretending? If you’re done, come back with me. I don’t have time to play these boring games with you!
But I was destined to disappoint him because this time, I had really died.
Leo, who was already on the verge of breakdown, heard Jack’s words and immediately
saw red.
He gently put my body down and started fighting with Jack.
Jack was dazed by his punches and instinctively fought back.
“Leo! What’s wrong with you again? Am I being too nice to
you?”
Tommy seemed to sense something was wrong. He crouched down, his hand trembling as he reached for my nose.
After confirming that I wasn’t breathing, he began to cry heart–wrenchingly
“Mommy… Mommy, don’t go, wah wah wah. I be good from now on don’t leave me
have time to play these boring games with you.
But I was destined to disappoint him because this time, I had really died.
Leo, who was already on the verge of breakdown, heard Jack’s words and immediately

“Mommy… Mommy, don’t go, wah wah wah. I’ll be good from now on, don’t leave me…“”
Tommy’s cries caught Jack’s attention.
A sense of inexplicable panic welled up in his heart, and he inadvertently took a punch.
from Leo.
He irritably scolded Tommy,
“What are you crying for? It’s not like she’s really dead.”
Though he said this, his heart felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone, making it
hard to breathe.
He cursed under his breath, shoved Leo aside, and rushed towards me.
When he saw my lifeless, colorless body, his legs gave way and he fell to his knees.
He didn’t dare to check my pulse, nor did he dare to test my breathing.
Jack frantically patted himself down, but couldn’t find his phone.

He didn’t dare to check my pulse, nor did he dare to test my breathing.
Jack frantically patted himself down, but couldn’t find his phone.
He suddenly broke down, shouting towards Ella and Leo,
“What are you standing there for? Call 911! Hurry!”
I had never seen Jack so panicked before. Even when Ella was hurt, he had never shown ¡uch a desperate expression.
Do you think he loved me? I don’t think so.
He just enjoyed the benefits of having me by his side and was afraid of how my leaving would affect his life.
In the end, he only loved himself.
Leo looked at the frantic Jack and suddenly laughed.
Like Satan from hell, he mercilessly shattered the last line of defense in Jack’s heart.
“Brother, take a good look. She’s dead! What use is calling 911 now?”
Then he burst into laughter.
Ella sensed a dangerous atmosphere. She hadn’t meant to really drive Mia to death.
Now this family was in chaos – some mad, some crazy. She instinctively wanted to run, but was caught by Leo.
He grinned, his smile not reaching his eyes, looking quite chilling.
“Don’t run, Miss Ella. We can’t call 911, but we can still call the police.”
