Going Out With a Bang

I was a transmigrator who came to this world to complete a mission.

My mission was simple—marry Harriet.

The year I met her, we were both rookies in the police force's bomb disposal unit. At that time, Jeremy had abruptly broken up with her before leaving for abroad, and Harriet was in a constant daze.

I stayed by her side at all times. Slowly, I helped her heal and get over the heartbreak.

Three years later, our relationship progressed naturally, and we got married. With that, my mission was successfully completed. The system rewarded me by allowing me to remain in this world and gave me two chances to be resurrected.

By then, I had truly fallen in love with Harriet.

I believed that honesty was important between husband and wife, so I told her everything about the system without reservation.

I had even said jokingly, "No matter what happens, I won't die. I'll stay with you until we're old."

But I never expected that this statement would ultimately become my undoing.

Not long after we got married, Jeremy returned from abroad. Putting on a pitiful act, he told Harriet that his departure back then was entirely due to his parents' wishes. He kept explaining to her how he couldn't defy them.

Harriet believed him without question. She seemed to have forgotten the pain that Jeremy had caused her back then. After that, she started following him around, showering him with care and concern.

When Jeremy was critically injured in a car accident, and his life was hanging by a thread, Harriet tearfully begged me to use the system to save him.

Seeing Harriet's face covered in tears tugged at my heartstrings. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel any heartache when she wept so mournfully.

My wife was shedding tears for another man. Of course I'd feel aggrieved and angry!

But I loved Harriet so deeply that I couldn't refuse her request. And so, I used my first resurrection chance to save Jeremy.

Last year, after Harriet defused a bomb and was preparing to return to the team, she was shot in the heart by a retaliating criminal. By the time she was rushed to the hospital, the doctor only took one look at her before issuing a death notice.

I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. Without hesitation, I used my last resurrection chance to save her.

Before reviving her, the system repeatedly asked me, "This is your last chance. Are you sure you won't regret this decision?"

I replied firmly, "I'm sure. I won't regret this no matter what."

The system complied, and from that moment onward, it never appeared again.

At that time, I assumed Harriet's feelings for Jeremy were just an obsession. I believed that with time, she would eventually come to her senses and return to our family with time. I also firmly believed we could grow old together.

But now, the cruel reality had dealt me a devastating blow.

It turned out Harriet had always loved Jeremy. My belief that Harriet reciprocated my feelings and loved me as I loved her was nothing more than my fantasy.
