Chapter 3

Of course, I knew who Gary had been texting. That was the main reason why I had to first expose what was written in Gary's text message.

Paul seemed to be aware that it was an important clue. Seeing that I didn't stop him, he quickly came over and filmed the contents of the phone as well.

At once, the people in his livestream comments went berserk.

"They've been planning it all along! The man had been wanting to sell off the cougar's organs! That poor cougar! She'd been tricked!"

"They're such cruel people! Remember how he looks! If you see him on the streets, make sure you stay far away from him!"

Gary stammered, "N-No, wait. I didn't…"

He had always been an egotistical person. But now that everyone was starting to accuse him, he couldn't help but stutter.

Just then, Meryl's younger brother, Horton Cleat, quickly arrived in the ward, wearing his white doctor's coat.

Horton was a doctor at this hospital. He was the key reason why Gary and Meryl had succeeded in tricking me the last time.

Horton looked very upset as he stood before me. "Alright, now. That's enough! Stop making a fuss! This is the hospital. Shouting like this will only disturb the other patients! What's the whole point of that?

"My sister is dead, and nobody can be more heartbroken about it besides me! If you hadn't provoked her, she would never have died and left her two sons behind!"

Horton had only spoken a few sentences, yet, he'd already managed to shift the blame back onto me.

Since he cried when he spoke, I cried even louder as I defended myself. "Meryl's pregnancy was a high-risk one! And we couldn't even find who the father was! Her pregnancy was so risky that I told her not to go through with it. And still, she went ahead with the pregnancy behind my back!

"Now that she's gone, you're pinning the blame back on me? I might as well die!"

I cried harder, letting my body shake with loud sobs. Then, I ran to the nearest pillar and started hitting my head against it. "Meryl, I'm sorry! I'm coming now! I'm coming now to look after you!"

In reality, I was only going to pretend to hit my head, but the onlookers hurriedly pulled me away.

Paul muttered, "Wow! So, the kids were from an affair…"

It wasn't a nice thing to say, but it was the truth.

Someone said, "Oh, God, this is getting interesting! Seems like the mother-in-law might be a cougar, after all!"

Usually, people would side with whoever made themselves out to be the bigger victim. As expected, many people took my side.

I continued to sob as I said, "Don't talk nonsense! My father-in-law has already passed for ten years, and Meryl only came into my husband's family two years after his death! She said she would treat Gary as her own child. She even said that her kids would call him 'Dad'!"

I had only known about these after my death, of course.

"Wait a minute!" Paul was thoroughly confused. "Let me get this straight. I think my brain is on fire. Your father-in-law died ten years ago, but your mother-in-law only married into the family two years after his death?

"Doesn't that mean they probably never knew each other in the first place? And your mother-in-law isn't your husband's biological mother? But why would her kids be calling him 'Dad'?

"You also said earlier that your husband would take off her pants for her when she went to the toilet?"

Paul blinked in confusion. "Could it be that your mother-in-law is really a cougar, and her kids' father is actually your husband?"
