On the day of the wedding, the fiancé encountered a serious car accident on the way to pick up the bride, and tragically passed away.
I became a widow, and the child in my belly became a posthumous child.
After this setback, I suffered from a serious mental illness and thought about ending my life countless times. Everyone advised me to persevere for the sake of the child in my belly.
On the day of the funeral, my husband’s elder brother and his wife, who were far away in Velbrunnia, came back to offer their condolences.
Looking at his eyes and eyebrows that were exactly like my husband’s, I often found myself lost in a daze, but unintentionally overheard a conversation between them outside my mother–in–law’s bedroom.
“Did you fake your death and run away from the wedding just for that woman? Kyleigh is carrying your child in her belly. Are you staging this drama just to bring that seductress back home?”
After a while, the voice of the elder brother finally sounded softly.
“Jimena Valencia was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The doctor said she had at most half a year left. When the six months passed, Kyleigh was also about to be born. By then, everything would return to its original state, and we would still be a happy family of three.”
At this moment, I realized that my husband never died. This so–called “brother” is actually my husband, Konnor Mcdaniel!
I struggled to control the trembling of my body as I sent a message to my brother, who worked at the Overseas Confidentiality Bureau.
“Bro, help me stage an accident! It’s just faking death, right? I want to give Konnor a taste of his own medicine!”

After sending the message, my hands were still trembling uncontrollably, and the conversation in the room continued. “Is this really fair to Kyleigh? If it weren’t for the child in her belly, she would have followed you long ago. She looks so lost and distraught, it breaks my soul to see.”
Konnor sighed deeply.
“Jimena only had six months left, this was her only wish, I couldn’t let her down.”
“As for Kyleigh, I have a lifetime with her, I will make it up to her in the future, Mother, don’t worry…”
I was gripped by a big hand, and the pain instantly invaded every part of my body, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.
I staggered back to the bedroom, my knees giving way and collapsing to the ground, just as my brother’s call came in. “What’s wrong, Kyleigh? What happened? Isn’t Konnor already dead?”
I really wanted to say something, but as soon as I opened my mouth, tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Yes, in the eyes of the world, Konnor is already dead.

I understood my brother’s question, even I myself had not expected that Konnor would fake his death, and the reason for faking his death was actually for another woman.
Although I didn’t say anything, the brother on the other end of the phone seemed to sense my emotions, and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly.
“The day after tomorrow night, I will send a plane to pick you up, and I will take care of everything else.”
After the phone call ended, I remained motionless in the same position as if I was still on the phone.
Just then, the door was gently knocked on, and standing outside was the elder brother holding a glass of milk.
Or, it was Konnor holding a glass of milk.
“What’s wrong, Kyleigh? Why are you sitting on the ground? Why are you crying again? Are you missing Konnor?”
For the past half month since Konnor came back as the eldest brother, he has been very kind to me, as if he really treats me as the wife of his deceased younger brother.
Countless times when faced with his concern, I always felt absent–minded, and my mother–in–law always attributed my absent–mindedness to missing Konnor too much.
I quietly locked the screen of my phone and forced out a smile.
“No problem, I just felt a bit unwell in my stomach just now, and I couldn’t stand steady for a moment.”
Konnor finally breathed a sigh of relief, setting the milk in his hand aside and carefully helping me up from the ground. “This child, never listens, wait until he is born, see how his uncle will discipline him.”
“Get up quickly, I have heated milk for you. Drink it and rest early. Don’t think too much. Konnor won’t feel at ease even if he sees you like this in heaven.”
When I heard the name mentioned by him, I finally couldn’t bear it anymore, I looked up and stared into his eyes, and questioned him word by word.
“Were you really not Konnor?”
